Reading
11 Read the story written by a girl called Jill.

Meeting Mum’s old schoolfriend by Jill Rogers

Let me tell you about something that happened to my mum. She recently got interested
in social networking sites, after seeing me spending hours on them. She told me she
wanted to find an old friend from her schooldays and then spent a ridiculous amount of
time tracking her friend down, which she did eventually. The friend’s name was Penny
Finn and she was living abroad, but was coming back to London for a few days. Mum
told me what she remembered about her. Penny had been kind of stylish and attractive,
not very traditional in the way she behaved, and had done very little studying for her
exams. Mum told me she had seen Penny as a bit of an idol, someone who had an
impressive way of getting people to do what she wanted. She and Mum lost touch soon
after leaving school.
Anyway, Penny agreed to see Mum in a big hotel in the centre of town, and Mum
promised to take me along with her as I kept asking. I was looking forward to it after
hearing so much about this woman. When we arrived in the hotel restaurant, Mum
looked around but couldn’t see Penny. Then a voice called out Mum’s name and we
turned round and saw this woman in an armchair calmly drinking a bottle of the most
expensive champagne. Mum didn’t
really recognise her – she looked so different. Her hair colour looked really fake – a kind
of white-blonde – and she was wearing dark glasses. Anyway, we sat down and Mum
introduced me and they started chatting. Penny suggested getting more champagne, so
they went ahead and ordered some.
When it came to paying, Penny said she’d forgotten her credit card so Mum insisted on
paying the bill, and got out hers. Penny picked it up and said she’d take it over to the
waiter. Mum and I sat there waiting for her to come back, and eventually we realised
she had left – with Mum’s credit card! It had been a trick. Several months later, we were
shocked to see her in the newspaper. She had been sent to prison for fraud!
