The Bookshop
Denise Kirby
It was lunchtime in the Middleton School. Lucy was sitting next to several school friends. She took out her phone and turned on YouTube. The girl was going to watch a new video of Jack Powell. She watched videos of many bloggers, but especially liked this man. He was very fascinating and witty about many things. The schoolchildren were laughing, throwing apples at each other and enjoying themselves. She often spent time with her classmates, but never considered them close friends. Her friends were people on the other side of the screen. Famous bloggers whose videos made her life more interesting. They did not even know about the existence of the girl, but it did not matter. She often laughed and was sad with them. It was always easier to spend time with them than with ordinary people.
