85. MORE THAN RELATIONS

This week’s been quiet. At school Esther is spending more time with Nadja, for another hand she gives Imogen the cold shoulder, but it was not maliciously. She apologized because she actually understood her, that was rude from her side. In one assignment the teacher didn’t show up, and Esther mixed a bit more with Beryl and Alexandra, really nice girls, they had a really good time until Wendy and Jessica showed up. So the 5 of them all together chatting. They even go home with Beryl, who it’s also in her way home. But the worst of the day was coming at the end. When Derek phoned Esther to break up, by phone!! What a cheek!! And besides, she run into him while partying later, she didn’t look at his face at all. She also met Becky and of course, being a pain continuously, sooo tiring! And not enough with this, she also saw “the lout guys”, telling her that Elmer was going to get married, that was really unbelievable, but she didn’t give a damn. Suddenly the girls met Luke and Co., so they began to follow them, which was so fricking obvious, the boys looked fed up and is understandable. So, all these things, is what Esther writes down in her diary, trying to assimilate them. Sometimes everything happen so fast that you don’t have time to analyse why, how and more questions of doubts and reasons, and stuff like that. Esther is beginning to realize that she can’t control so many things, and is so frustrating…

84. THINKING TOO MUCH

OK, the thing is that the relation with Derek is quite cold, ‘because sometimes they phone each other, but not as much as Esther would like to. And last weekend they didn’t see each other. Besides, Esther right now is busy with the confirmation meetings, they all are going to finish pretty soon and this Friday there’s a dinner with everybody. It’s been fun, even though she didn’t know everybody, at least Maureen was there. The following day (Saturday) as a miracle of God, Derek phones Esther and meet for that afternoon. He confesses her everything she’d been told, but she didn’t expect him to be taking drugs. However she really likes him and wants to go for that relation. The bad news is his ex wants to be back with him again. “What??? Again some girl in my way?? Seriously??? It must be a joke!!” this seems like the damn same old story for Esther, really sad and frustrated, wondering why she has this bad luck, is it her destiny?? She talks about this with Maureen, who advices her to break up. But Esther doesn’t want to, she worths more than the other girl and she knows it. The other news is that Maureen is also thinking to split up with his boyfriend, as far as she’s in love with Luke, a bit silly decision, taking into account that he doesn’t even know she exists.

83. SO MANY THINGS

Esther’s class is a mess. At the first assignment class she’s been talking to Nadja, a nice Russian girl, they get on well a lot. But in the following subject class their seats have been changed. This time she was at the end of the classroom, near the lockers, with Wendy, that was great, but opposite them were J.M. and Herbert, who didn’t stop asking them for things, fooling around and joking. After the break Imogen has gone to the class and of course in a different place from before. She’s been fooling with the guys behind, who were Alan and his friend; she definitely likes this gorgeous blonde guy with blue eyes, who doesn’t? Anyway, the thing is that the teacher has told her off, and at the third time she moved her to the end of the classroom, looking at the wall. It’s been fun, as she was a 5 years old girl. Afterwards, Esther has met with Becky and Lester, gossiping about Derek. Becky’s told her amazing things, like he already has a girlfriend, or that he likes drugs…”what??, unbelievable!”

82. REMINDING THE SUMMER

When Imogen arrived to class and saw Alan, she totally fell in love, is not smart or anything the girl… ;-) The amazing thing is that she’s not in the same class as Esther, but she doesn’t care. Esther has even told her that she doesn’t want to play truants this course, because she’s focus on passing everything, and Imogen laughed at her. Besides, today at History class, the teacher has told her to leave, what an embarrassing moment! ‘Cause Imogen didn't want to leave, explaining that it’s her right to be there. Esther is beginning to think that she’s not going to meet anyone else. Lately she feels tied down, what a summer she’s had! So, saying all this to Wendy: 1st, Esther went to private tuitions to pass the subjects she failed last course, and there was Imogen, just like that! All the time talking, the teacher got on her nerves. 2nd, every time they were going out Imogen scared all the boys. 3rd, they met one Saturday Maureen’s boyfriend’s friends, especially one friend: Peter. He was good looking and both of them liked him, and when he had to pick one, chose Esther, and Imogen got mad for 3 weeks, so finally the couple couldn’t date anymore because he didn’t want to be in the middle. But before all this, Imogen used to leave impolite messages in her house’s answering machine, and obviously her family was freaking out. In the end with the excuse that he was going on holidays, they split up. Wendy was staggered with all this amazing information.

81. A GOOD BEGINNING

This summer it’s been cool. Maureen has a crush with Luke and the girls have been almost all weekends following him and his friends, she is so shy that she doesn’t even ask him or anything. This entire story is a bit tiring for Esther, all the time doing the same and at the end nothing happens, what a prospect! So, one Saturday Esther and Imogen got lost, not knowing where the hell they were ´til they run into Becky and his boyfriend Lester, they both were with another boy whom Esther already knew when they were child, they used to go to the mountain with their families, especially the fathers, who were friends. His name was Derek. They became very happy of that moment and began to chat a lot, even they got involved, something quite difficult because Imogen was in their way, and beginning to be annoying. So, after some couple of pubs they got lost on purpose. At the end of the night they finally meet Ivy and Maureen, who don’t like Derek. They are a bit critical lately. But nooo, do not criticize the stupid behaviour of Maureen, following some guy during 2 months without doing anything to make him see that she likes him, and not letting them help her…
