    The girls laugh then sit on the roof, still, quiet. We hear insects which morph into the sounds of CB radio, a train.
    Train ride back.
    No-one speaks for ages then Sam goes up the end of the train to ring Trent. Make up.
    AISHA: I get off the train with Kelly. Two ugly guys at the tattoo shop stare.
    We hear a wolf whistle.
    KELLY / AISHA: Let’s run.
    AISHA: We run. Stop outside the church. My head.
    KELLY: Change back into your Hillsong clothes.
    AISHA: Walk up our street, hear the buzz of the big grey power tower that’s behind our house in place of a tree, and all the trucks speeding past on the freeway just want to slip in the back door but Dad’s out the front, claps his hands, then mum’s there asking /

    INDHU: But I told you. We’re going to the Guptas’ today for a barbeque.
    AISHA: The Guptas’?

    SAM: I get off the train and Chelsea Mills is there on the platform that stuck up bitch on her way to dance class. She looks at me like I’m a dog and asks me you still dancing ? and then she asks did you hear I won the tap eisteddfod ?
    The tap eisteddfod?
    Bollywood music crackles.
    AISHA: I’m full of aloo gobi and Mrs Gupta’s questions. Mum sighs as she asks:
    INDHU: Did I tell you I met Shahrukh Khan?
    AISHA: We’ve heard before Mum. What are we walking clichés?
    Mum and Mrs Gupta give me the look.
    INDHU: Respect young lady. If there is not respect then there is /
