When
I
finish

I’ll
be

to
Spain
and
work
as

a
DJ
in
his
club.
It’s
so
perfect.
It
all
fits
in
with
my
master
plan.

Did
he
say
you
could
work
in
his
club?

No,
but
he’s
hardly
gonna
say
no
is
he?

Dunno.
What’s
his
club
called?

Dyma
Nite
Club.
Cool

Toby:

Katie:

Thanks.
Would
you
want
to
live
in
Spain?

To
start
off
with
I
would
yeah.
First
I’d
get
the
experience
in
his

club
and
then
I
could
travel
the
world
and
work
in
loads
of
different

clubs
in
each
country.
Imagine
being
able
to
play
and
listen
to
music

for
a
living.
It
sounds
like
heaven.

Toby:

Katie:

You
need
to
get
decks
then
don’t
you?

Yeah.
My
dad
said
he’d
get
them
for
me.
He’s
got
loads
of
friends

who
are
DJs
and
they
can
get
all
the
best
gear
for
cheaper
than
the

shops.
Cool
isn’t
it?

Toby:

Katie:

Toby:

Katie:

Toby:

Yeah.
It’s
weird—you
calling
him
Dad.

Yeah
I
no.
I
don’t
really
say
it
to
him
though,
just
to
other
people.
It

feels
odd.
I’ll
get
used
to
it
though.

Yeah
I
suppose.
Have
you
heard
from
Greg?

No.
Why?

Don’t
tell
your
mum
but
me
and
my
mum
and
dad
went
out
for

Chinese
last
night
and
he
was
there
with
some
woman.
He
got
all

embarrassed
when
he
saw
me
and
tried
to
be
all
nice
and
friendly
by

calling
me
over
to
the
table
and
stuff.

Katie:

Oh
my
god.
What
did
you
say
to
him?

Nothing.
I
ignored
him.
I
walked
straight
past
their
table.

Good.
Serves
him
right.
Did
your
mum
and
dad
go
mental?

No.
Mum
winked
at
me
and
Dad
pretended
he
didn’t
see
Greg.

Who
was
he
with?

Who,
my
dad?

No
you
stupid.
What’s-his-name.

Some
blonde.

Did
you
no
her?

No

Oh.
Poor
Mum.

Don’t
tell
her.
Has
she
got
a
job
yet?

No
but
she’s
been
going
to
interviews
every
day.
She’s
been
in
the

worst
moods
EVER
lately
banging
around
the
house
like
the
anti-
