her it was him who dumped me and she went really quiet. I dunno why, though.
Then she asked me why he dumped me, and I thought, FFS!! Enough already! I kinda shrugged and said it was ’cos he’d said it wasn’t working out, and she looked at me real strange. Then she asked me if I’d been upset about being dumped by him and I told her no, ’cos I really hadn’t been! I dunno whether she believed me, though.
I couldn’t stop thinking about our conversation all afternoon. Why did she wanna know about him? She was making it out to be a big deal, but nothing about Ben was a big deal, certainly not to me!!
Wednesday 2 May
OMG! I just had a thought! Maybe Hannah fancies Ben and that’s why she wanted to know about him? It’s just typical! Maybe she was only friendly with me ’cos she wanted to get close to Ben? Yeah, wouldn’t that be just bloody typical?!
Thursday 3 May
That’s ridiculous, Clem! You broke up with Ben weeks ago; Hannah would have been friendly with you then if she’d wanted to know about him. Not to mention that Ben is still with Matty, and Hannah doesn’t seem the type to steal a girl’s boyfriend. Stop panicking!
HRBH has been on her diet for a week! It seems to be going well; I haven’t seen a scrap of chocolate pass her lips since…ooh…yesterday!
Friday 4 May
Had a vocabulary test in French today and I got 19 out of 20, which I’m really pleased about! Even Mrs. Howells seemed surprised. Maybe I’ll become a translator when I get older.
Relieved that Hannah hasn’t asked me any more questions about Ben since Tuesday. Guess I was just being paranoid (as usual)…
Saturday 5 May
Went into town with Hannah today. We went to Starbucks to see Matty (and get a free muffin with our coffee). Matty came and sat with us for ten minutes while she took her break, and all the time she was sitting there, I kept wishing she’d go away again and leave me and Hannah alone, which was a bit mean of me considering she’d sneaked us each a Double-Choc Delight.
Eventually she went back to serving customers and I had Hannah all to myself again. She really is as fit as a butcher’s dog (Hannah, not Matty). I was watching her closely while she was talking to me, taking in every inch of her lovely face, and had to keep looking away ’cos I was sure she’d be able to read my mind, which was saying ‘Fuck me, you are FIT!!!’ over and over again, VERY loudly.
Oh bugger! What am I going to dooooooooooo?
Sunday 6 May
HRBH’s diet came to a shuddering halt today when for her lunch she had:
Roast beef
4 roast potatoes
2 Yorkshire puddings
Carrots in butter
Cabbage in butter
Peas in butter
Thick gravy.
Not content with that, she had two helpings of Mum’s trifle for afters.
I hope she feels thoroughly ashamed of herself!
Hannah wasn’t around on MSN tonight. Was a bit disappointed.
Monday 7 May
It was a bank holiday today, so we did what everyone else does on a bank holiday: we made the stupid decision to go out for the day, got stuck in traffic, couldn’t get in anywhere to eat at lunchtime, so ended up buying sandwiches from Subway. Mum and Dad had an argument in the car coming home, and then we got stuck in more traffic trying to get back into town. Oh, and it rained as well.
I’ll be glad to go back to school tomorrow. Missed talking to Hannah today.
Tuesday 8 May
Hannah asked me if I wanted to go over to hers tonight, but my sodding mother said I couldn’t ’cos I had homework to do. She’s such a bloody fascist at times.
Wednesday 9 May
Was busy chewing on my pen and looking out the window during our Psychology class this afternoon, trying to figure out the meaning of life and crap like that, and saw Hannah out playing netball on the courts just under my window. She had this damned sexy PE skirt on and legs to die for! Found myself thinking about those legs
