You see my problem? How could a

            younger brother compete with someone like


            that?

               When Jake and I arrived back at my


            house that day there was a weird sort of

            squealing noise coming from the sitting


            room. I recognised it at once. So did Jake.

            We looked at each other. Clara.


               We looked in the door. There she was on

            the sofa blowing her nose. I couldn’t be


            sure, but those looked like real tears

            coming out of her eyes. Mum was sitting

            next to her patting her on the back.


               “What’s up?” I said. “Did she come

            second in something instead of first?”


               Mum looked up.




                                                                        11
