Episode 5: Glasgow
Hello my name is Alice.I am seventeen years old.
Right now, my family and I are living in an old, damp flat in the middle of Glasgow. I hate it.
The only company I have up here is Brad.He always makes me laugh. Flats
Its fun being with Brad but I really want a pet. I am going to ask Ming and John later. I hope they say yes. Flats

Ming is home. I’m going to ask her about the pet now.
(Fingers crossed she says yes!)
Flats
Brad
Pet
NO! Absolutely not!!! How are we meant to keep a pet if we are always travelling?! Anyway, you say YOU want a pet, I’d be the one who was taking it for walks, cleaning it and feeding it!

“Maybe Alice just needs a friend. You could send her to public school. At least that way she could get some real friends.”
