The truth was she wanted to look "cool" not for herself but for Billy Adams. The shopping center was full of bored teenagers wasting time on their school vacations. As she followed h mom out of a shoe store, she turned a corner and walked straight into a group of boys from school. In the middle of them was Billy Adams! Fizza could feel her face getting hot. She wanted to run and hide. She wanted to be somewhere else, anywhere but right there at that moment in the Bullring Shopping Centre. Then she remembered what her dad told her every time they practiced judo. "Fizza, you might be a girl, he said, "but it doesnt stop you from being as brave as a man. So she made herself be brave. She looked straight at Billy and gave him a great big smil Hi, Billy" she said Billy looked at her and then he looked away. Who's that?" Fizza heard one of his friends say to him "I don't know," replied Billy Fizza felt terrible. Billy didn't want to know her! She could feel hot tears in her eyes and she wanted to run away, but she couldn't she had to walk, she had to be "cool" "Me? Cool?" she thought. "Forget it. For the first time, she was really glad that she was going away to the island of Sark and she followed her mother out of the shopping center as quickly as she could. However, Fizza didn't know that Billy Adams was watching her walk away. He hadn't recognized her with her new haircut but he had thought that she was a very pretty girl.
