Chapter One
THE BEST NIGHT OF SALLYâS LIFE
Music plays. Sally speaks.
SallyIâm sixteen years old. Right now. Not a few minutes ago and not in a few minutes time. Itâs ten past eleven on September the first and I am exactly sixteen years old. Unless you look at my ID. If you look at my ID I am nineteen and I have been for three months. If you look at my ID I have the wrong colour hair and a face that looks not quite but almost entirely different to the one I actually own. If you look at my ID Iâm not called Sally Mackenzie, Iâm called Elizabeth Shipp, I live in Glasgow and apparently Iâm Canadian, but, if you look at my ID and donât notice any of that, then you, like the bouncers, wouldnât know that Iâm not actually allowed to be here.
Weâre at the student union. Thereâs a band onstage, my favourite band â and no, Iâm not going to tell you who they are, I was sixteen and itâs really embarrassing! Theyâre playing my favourite song and my best friend Grace has just grabbed my hand and said â
Grace appears.
Grace Iâve met a guy who says he can get us backstage.
Sally We push through the crowd and yes, there is a guy, a guy who looks like someone whose offer to take a girl backstage has backfired massively when sheâs brought a friend with her.
The Guy appears.
Guy Hey, I didnât mean I could get two of you in â
And heâs gone again.
Sally But it doesnât matter. âCause now weâre at the side of the stage, weâre drinking beer out the bottle, and we are this far away from the band. Theyâre like, right there. And Iâm singing along and dancing when the singer, he turns, he turns and sees me, and then he smiles, he turns and sees me and smiles and my heart leaps. And then he gestures for us to come over. And weâre like âOh my God!â And Grace is like â
Grace Can we even do that?
Sally And Iâm like, âWhy not?â And sheâs like â
Grace Really?
Sally And Iâm like âyeah!â
And then weâre onstage. And weâre dancing. And in front of us, there are hundreds of faces. Some of them have seen us, some of them havenât. Grace is next to me, kind of uncertain but kind of enjoying it. And then thereâs me. And I am going for it. I am properly going for it. Iâm like Flashdance, Footloose and Billy Elliot all rolled into one. And then the singer, he comes over, he comes over and he starts dancing with me, he starts dancing with me! And then the song ends and the security guards are glaring at us from the side of the stage, so we jump down into the crowd and push through all the people and then Iâm in front of Darren Thomas, this guy in the year above who Iâve liked since like . . . ever! And heâs like â
Darren sidles over, smoothly.
Darren That was so cool.
Sally And Iâm like âDo you really think so? Yeah, I guess it was, wasnât it?â and then he smiles, and I smile, and itâs like that moment, that moment when you know youâre going to kiss someone but you donât know whoâs gonna make the first move and then he leans in and I lean in and then â
Grace Get a room!
Sally Grace interrupts. And then she laughs, âcause she knows what this is, she knows what this moment means to me, this is the moment Iâve been waiting for, for like all my life, and then Grace holds up her camera and sheâs like â
Grace Smile!
Sally And we all look into it and . . .
A camera flash goes off.
Beat.
And because that moment is so perfect. Because everythingâs going so well. Because I know that normally I would be feeling good in this situation . . . I know somethingâs not quite right here.
âCause even though Iâm smiling in the picture, inside . . .
Everything is going wrong.
Everything is still for a moment.
Until . . .
Music for the second song, âThereâs No Reasonâ, begins. Itâs light and a bit cheeky.
So yeah, I did say things might get bit heavy, but donât worry, âcause now itâs time for another song.
Sally starts to sing.
The problem with depression
Is itâs very hard to explain
Why suddenly all these horrible things
Are going on in your brain
Your job is pretty decent
Your health and love life too
So why is this happening to you?
Is it an allergy to dairy
That has robbed you of your zeal?
Did you piss off loads of witches?
Are Dementors really real?
No! Thereâs an explanation
Itâs...
