Digger was sitting outside of Big School at the cricket field. School had ended and he was going to meet up with his little brother, Rusty to play cricket with him. He’s sat at the bleachers, looking around for him and waiting. He rests his chin on the base of his hand, kicking his feet as he kept waiting… and waiting.

That’s when he gets a buzz on his phone, from his mother. She says Rusty had decided to go to Jack’s and that he’d be able to play later. Digger sighed and lowered his phone, looking at the ground silently. Footsteps approach, then the person calls out to him. He lifts his head and looks over at them, they weren’t anyone he’d seen before. They hold out a book with his name on it. He jumps up, taking the book with a smile.

“… that’s my cricket book! I’ve been looking everywhere for this! Where’d you find…”

He then trails off as he looks up and gets a good look at her.
