66. FALSENESS AROUND

All the girls have met to go out, and this didn't happen for a long time: 8 girls and Ivor, who, by the way, confessed them that he likes Molly, and it was supposed to be Stelle the one he liked. Anyway, the thing is that even though Esther didn't feel a lot of kindness for him, they've spent all this night together. She've found out that Cindy is not with Alvin any more, whome Esther totally has forgotten, because this is the night she's going to meet Jay, sooo gorgeous. So, while Esther was thinking it was a cool night, just in that moment they've met the louts, and even Elmer was all the time annoying her, such a nightmare! But the most shocking was when they all saw Maureen and Alvin getting involved. Afterwards there have been separations and Esther left with Ivor, who didn't want to see Molly with Isaac, so both of them, getting out their chest. When it was late, and Esther was going home, she met Maureen, who was apologising continuously, that she accepted, but actually that was kind of false from her part because she's criticizing all the time about the louts and everybody's behaviour, as if she was a saint, and later she does the same damn stuff, so...what's the point?

65. ADAM'S RIB

Esther doesn't like gyms, but today was the exception, she had the resit and....passed it, yeahhhh!!!!! She was so happy that has been talking a lot to Adam, and such a lot of confidence, that he told her he's dating someone, what a blow! Nor Wendy neither Imogen believed that. -“Tonight a celebration!”- exclaimed Wendy, and the girls were really keen on that plan. They've started well, but got lost, Esther with Ivy and Henrietta......sooo.....boring....., well it'd be better to say, that THEY'RE boring. But she's met people that introduces her other ones. The best of the night: she met Adam!!! talking for a while and he told her that he'd seen the other lost couple, and asking him where. 30 minutes later they've finally found each other, thank goodness. And the first thing they say to her: “Adam likes you”. Really???? what a little liars, but how nice from their part, or it could be true?

64. TEENAGERS

Lately Esther is having real fun at class, maybe too much, she talks to a lot of classmates, which is not that usual, compare to last year and primary school, where she couldn't have any kind of conversation but with 3 people, more or less. Today she's been joking with Hugh and Ralph, joining, of course, later Adam, unexplainable! They didn't realise how mad was the teacher 'til she expelled Esther, telling her she was on the wrong way to go the university, and that her mother was going to know about all that, not good news...”why is such a big deal?” During the break Hugh and his friend Teddy tried to cheer her up, and went together to the park to smoke. In their way back to school, to Head Teacher's room, the first time that Esther has to go there. What a big telling off from her mother, again..., this time with her sisters, and they have been also complaining “what the hell??? This is not of your business!”-thinks Esther. The next Friday she could go out at night, so everything forgotten, that's what really brings her life. As usual, she's been drinking a lot, in addition there was a party in the louts' premises, and Esther got involved with most of them. However that was not such a fun time to her.

63. NOTHING BUT JOKES

This last week has been awkward, evrybod explaining things to Esther, Stelle was disgusted for everything that happened with Franky (Esther still doesn't understand why they are together), what's more, her father found a condom in the premises, so he's forbidden her to use that place, so, the girls have to search another place to drink. At class the teacher has told her off, just like that, and finally she changed Esther of desk, at the end of the classroom. That was so unfair, it was Rud and Hugh's fault, all the time fooling around, joining Adam later, who was in the other side. Of course, all that is on her marks and folders. She went back home with Wendy, complaining about all those things, and she tries to calm Esther down, for a while, this means eating as most as possible, “ you feel so good afterwards” (chocolate doughnuts, snacks, sweets,...). When she felt better, she went home. She had an amazing dream that night: romantic and funny moments with Adam, which finished weirdly though, he had a green face!

62. MISTAKES AND FLIRTINGS

Yesterday night was a High School Party, and honestly kind of boring. At least there was a cute boy, who knew Maureen, they studied in the same Primary School, but different classrooms, so with nice views… This Saturday it was another dressing-up party. At the beginning in a house, there was a little mess between the group of girls, ‘cause apparently Stelle got involved with some guy, and when his boyfriend knew it, begun to look for him, sometimes she’s a bit silly. It’s a good job that they didn’t find the guy; because he doesn’t have any fault. After a couple of hours the trio (Maureen, Imogen, and Esther ) got lost on purpose. In a bar Imogen’s begun to flirt with a guy, at least 5 years older, as well as his friends, in spite of the fact that Esther doesn’t like older guys, contrary to Imogen, she’s had lots of laughs. There was this nice friend, and also gentle, who’s driven her home. Imogen didn’t believe the next day that nothing happened. To Esther was weird too, she writes in her diary that is a pity that her age boys are not that kind and chivalrous, maybe she should change her likes, and worth more the inside that the appearance.

61. STOP LECTURING

This year marks are really bad to Esther, her parents have given her a warning about that. She’s having such a crazy life lately…, and they don’t even know the half of the things she does. The truth is that she doesn’t give a damn what they think, and when she has been talking about this with Maureen, agrees with them. That’s all that Esther needed right now! It’s not like she’s in her 20s, when you’re growing up you have mistakes and learn, at least that’s what she thinks, and not to be so overprotective. At High School things are calm, today, for example, Adam and Rud have fooling around her too much, she didn’t expect it, what a funny couple! Afterwards Esther and Imogen have been talking about that and another gossips, saying to Esther to go to a party. While they were dancing, in the party disco, Esther just remembered that she’d met Maureen, what a telling off!!!Another one…

60. DROWNING THE SORROWS

Esther has arrived late to the Confirmation course and the nun of course, has told her off: -“you’ve got to take seriously this course, to be in peace with God and be a good catholic, if not you’re out” To Esther actually is not such a big deal, so she’s thinking again about attending that course, but she’s fed up, even her friends are not going. With all that bothering to Esther, she has decided to drink, of course with the same group as usual. And that’s great fun, because Alvin is there, fooling around her, but she likes that…’Till a moment that Esther suddenly has the feeling to bring up. The worst is that some class mates were there, what a shame!However, they have been very kind to see if she’s ok. After all this, Esther has met, again, Troy and his new friends, because he’s told her that the group where he was before splitted up. And there, they have been, talking about that and the reasons (dislikes, difference of opinions…) Her friends got annoyed because of that, talking with Troy, like nothing had happened before. “Oh!Come on!is just a conversation” sometimes she doesn’t understand them. That’s a silly reason to her.

59 ANOTHER CIRCLE

This past week Esther has been meeting Matthew, he’s nice but a little very young, despite his kindness, still silly, and today, for example, the louts have been teasing him, too much cruel and mean, even there’s almost a fight. Moreover Esther doesn’t know how and why, but lately Alvin is talking to her all the time, when this happen she likes more that group, specially since she really likes Alvin. Later suddenly, Rossie’s had a trouble with some girls, because apparently his boyfriend had another girlfriend and when all of them find it out there has been almost another fight against Rossie. What a tense night! Thanks to God that Troy’s group have passed and help the girls, although they have been laughing of that, not really funny to Esther though. So, Rossie at the end hasn’t lasted long time with his boy, and Esther right now is doubting, let’s make a list of Pros and Cons.

58. WON BET

Esther has bet something very funny at High School, because some people think that she’s a little shy, which she disagrees, so…, to show people that they’re wrong, she has to touch 80 guys’ butts. And she did it! Even though this seems very silly, actually was funny. To Esther that’s enough, due to the last week. Apparently some people is saying things about her, in addition Alvin and Cindy are not ok. Tonight Elmer’s brother’s come. Who knows who is worse, such a tiring guy. They’ve also met new Rossie’s boyfriend. Anyway, lots of laughs with the louts, they’re not than high. That night besides, they’re taking advantage of Esther’s bet. By the way Alvin is having a great time, except when Cindy calls him. With that absurd thing she’s met more guys than ever. At the end of that night Rossie’s boyfriend shows up with all his friends, that’s perfect ‘cause Esther needs to touch 4 more butts, one of the boys can’t stop laughing, how cute by the way!!!there they have been, talking,….and more things....

57. MAD DAY

What an awful weekend, especially `cause when the girls were gossiping, they’ve said that Alvin likes Cindy and wants to ask her for a date. Again the old same story, can this be possible?This girl is always in the way. Meanwhile putting up with Imogen, since she had been drinking before alone, alone?Why does she drink alone, anyway?That’s sad. Well, the thing is that, while they were going in the way to the pubs, some of them have to stop because she’s begun to bring up, including Ge’ne and his boyfriend, complaining all the time. That doesn’t help. Yet, in the pub, Esther can see the new relation between Alvin and Cindy, that’s disgusting for her. How can a person changes its mind like that??´Til both of them get involved. After that the silly Cindy is going towards Esther to ask her about that: -`are you kidding me?´?-answered Esther-`you’ve already kissed him´. Still with the dumb face Cindy doesn’t know what the exact answer is. Just amazing: -`Whatever Cindy, do whatever you want, obviously this guy is an asshole for me´ And there she goes again with another lout. Esther gets so annoyed that the more she drinks the more she wants. Then, some hours later Elmer shows up, and again, not knowing how, they get involved. But Esther realises soon the horrible mistake she’s having and leaves the pub as quickly as possible. Even though she’s not that drunk , still mad. When she gets home, writes down in her diary, she really needs to get out of her system, she feels so let down, and disappointed by Cindy, but maybe is not all her fault, but she could have rejected him, right??And no one else cares about that, it is true that it seems silly and perhaps she didn´t like Alvin that much, but apparently that was in her head, not in the heart, she can’t control it.

56. ALTERNATIVE PLANNES

Is Friday and Esther is meeting Alvin, but is weird, he doesn’t give a damn about she says, at last there are Stelle and Ge’ne, he’s a little full of himself. So, esther doesn’t think it could be a long story between them. Later Imogen shows up, telling Esther things of Wayne and that he likes her. What??!When!!!and the most important question, how that happened??, they never talk to each other, that’s so unbelievable to her that she decides to go and see him, so tired of Alvin and Co., and both girls have gone to the Sylvan. They have been talking about everything that have happened, forgiving each other. 2 hours later the pub was closing, not knowing anything about the interesting guys, starting a conversation with the hot bartender: Ron(very well cut hazel hair, mystery blue eyes, great smile...), who is also very nice. In the other part of the city the rest of the group of girls were hanging out, especially Alvin with Cindy, apparently, flirting with her...

55 IT’S A SMALL WORLD

Another weekend with gossips, because Imogen has to say everybody every little thing that happens, so, there they were, while drinking, explaining the details of the last guy Esther got involved with, and how creep he was!(and 5 years older)But that was funny, so much that they didn’t realise the time, and it was kind of late, so they were to the pubs running. Obviously, finished in the same pub with the same guys, with new people. By chance some of the boys were dating 2 girls from the High School: Betty and Molly, who is Ivor’s neighbour. For one reason or another, that was weird, so far and so close though, and meeting everybody. Especially one of them: Alvin, was teasing Esther and they managed to get involved. Also weird, because this guy was not very handsome, but curiously cute, even though he wears glasses, but with green eyes, that saves him... Watching all this, Imogen left madly, ‘cause it seems that Jessy and Maureen were also together. For a moment that was really cool. The most amazing thing with Alvin is that he wanted to meet one day, what a great surprise! Esther finished that night happier than usual.

54. THERE’S NO NEED TO GO THAT FAR

Today: big party. Of course the plan is the same, Esther has to encourage Maureen and Imogen because they don’t want to go the premises. But they were just the group of girls, gossiping about Friday’s plan ‘cause Esther, Stelle and Ge’ne met, with his boyfriends, and more friends of them. Again, Esther drunk so much that in some way she got involved with Pitch, kind of “this is 1 chance I don’t intend to miss” in the loon, a bit dirty(she’s not like that at all). So, laughing out loud, except Imogen, totally horrifed, like Maureen, oh!come on!is not such a big deal. However, it seems that for them it is a big deal, and they don’t talk to her, soooo dull. Anyway, more to enjoy with the rest of the girls. In the end all of them are very drunk, even Maureen, who’s got involved with the hottest guy of the louts: Jessy. But Esther was already ok, and went away to breath fresh air, with Imogen and Ivor, walking around. In a pub they’ve met Maureen’s sister: Phoebe, and there they have been, talking together with another guys, Esther thought they were all friends, but apparently not ‘til she’s realised one of them was flirting, and they’ve got involved. Afterwards Imogen and Esther got mad, even though Imogen was talking with his friend, didn’t recommend her to be with that guy. –“What???But, what’s going on??!Is not like we’re getting married, dude..”- said Esther, who thinks is worse than her mother, hahahaha

53 ENJOYING THE COURSE

Going to class today, Esther met Hugh, who just begun to tease her because of Saturday, so much make up...drunk...and that stuff. Look who’s talking, fooling around (she never liked that)but it was kind of funny and not mean. In the classroom the students have been changed of place, and Imogen is with Adam, Esther has to sit down next to Duncan, who can’t stop moving, talking, making sounds....anyway, buff!!what a tiring guy. At the end the teacher tell her off a couple of times, her??!!!?, advising her that she’s not very well known in regards to the studies and all that. The thing is, that apart from that day, in the last weeks this is usual, and the teachers decided to change the places because of her –“excuse me??you’re not serious, are you?”- Apparently her look said that she was not kidding at all. The rest of classmates have fun of that. Meanwhile Imogen is passing notes to her making weird faces, but what???! During the break all the time talking about Adam, but Esther is beginning to be kind of tired of that silly story, though Imogen insisted that they’re going to be together pretty soon, and then Wendy show up, she almost catch them! Thanks to God that Esther has begun to talk about another thing. Not knowing how happened but, suddenly they realise that Hugh had said to all the class about Esther’s fashion last Saturday, and asking her to make photos because they didn’t believe that. Jus Amazing. Later while they were having lunch, Esther has asked Stelle what happened on Saturday after the fight, with no answer. Suddenly she saw Rudd getting in the way, so Stelle annoyed, leaves, just like that. Going home, Wendy asks Esther to go together with another classmate, and that afternoon they’re going to meet to get out their chest, eating some snacks, so cool....

52. The fight

Today there’s a different plan, -“they could have said it before!”-, besides it turns out to be with ‘the louts’, they’ve had to put up with them all night long, and even they were thrown out of a bar, because of the guys’ fault, they were nicking and asking for money to Esther, and Elmer was bothering her. Anyway, disturbing as always as usual. Afterwards they’ve met in a bar with ‘the group’.While they were talking, Ozzie showed up and asked who dated who, and Troy said joking, with Stelle. Of course Franky got mad, and hit him. What a big fight!!!!Stelle angrily grabbed Franky and left together. There were arguments and separations, Maureen and Esther stayed with Troy and Co. explaining the other girls the situation. After all that mess, Esther met Hugh and Alvin, from High School, who were too much nice, maybe drunk,hahaha....Oh!!and she ‘d met Adam tooooooo, that cheer her up a lot. At last Maureen met him, she finished that crazy night so happy,that she forgot what happened before.

51. DIFFERENCE OF OPINIONS

Today at lunch, Imogen didn’t stop talking about Adam, who caught Esther looking at him, by the way, Stelle almost found out, she got a bit confused after that. She was very keen to go out tonight. So, let’s satisfy her, though Esther told her that she doesn’t like going with “the louts”, but unfortunately she was disagree with her opinion and went off mad.. There was a party in Stelle’s premises, as always as usual, with the same drinks and that stuff. Esther is beginning to annoy that scene, later she does unconscious things, that they remember her, including Ivor, all the time laughing. Stelle decided to play the ‘kiss, true, consequence game’. So, Esther spent that time smooching Ivor, so awful!!!The girls even wanted her to kiss him more, but what the hell????They got it, Esther was totally mad, who besides found a condom in the toilet, argg!It was Stelle’s, saying it shyly. Imogen told her off, and that finished in a mess. When the group of girls were leaving the place Franky and Aidan were waiting outside, so the ones who didn’t have boyfriend, went to another part.

50. The day after the Betrayal

Well, someday had Maisie to show up at High School. The whole class was amazed because of what happened last weekend, how not!It wasn’t Imogen there, so, telling her with all the details. When Wendy arrived, on Wednesday, went forward Maisie, while she was apologizing and got away running, hahahaha, just the way she is. But Wendy felt really angry and nervous, so there, they were Esther and Co. calming her down. At Gym class somehow Esther has been talking with Adam, even though he was joking all the time, however Esther didn’t mind, and enjoyed that moment ‘til silly Rud got in the way, and Imogen later, who wanted the 2 girls to play basketball against the 2 boys. What??!Esther doesn’t like it at all!Anyway, anything to see Adam. And there she was, seemingly running and playing the game, at least she scored 1, what a face the guys had..... Esther went back home with Wendy, still disgusted, but she tried to cheer her up, saying that she could trust her for anything. They’ve had a lot of honest conversations, discussing several subjects of their personalities and that stuff. There’s no doubt that this was really cool, ‘cause Esther prejudged her for being popular, but they could have been good friends. This is the beginning of a serious friendhip.

49. The Betrayal

Today there are events in the neighborhood. Wendy wanted to meet Esther, she didn’t want to reject that plan, but told her friends to go there, who unfortunately, didn’t go, and had to stay with Wen, Mai and Ivy. It was not as bad as Esther thought, ‘cause actually she doesn’t really like that kind od stuff. But they were at some funfairs, and had a couple of drinks. Despite that Esther got boring, saying that she was leaving, however the other girls insisted her to go to the city center, where they met Esther’s group, of course, with the lout guys. They’re so assholes, but Esther didn’t care, she was so drunk in that moment, so much..., that suddenly a gipsy fat guy : Elmer, began to flirt with her and they got involved!, just like that. Then Maureen, freacking out, adviced Esther to leave. When they were going to The Hunderts they saw Ivy and Co. talking with some weird girls, who begun to tear each other’s hair out, hitting them and fighting, that was so shocking that Esther forgot she was drunk, and hear those gypsies telling the girls, that was from Maisie’s and not to tease her anymore. Afterwards tey tried to chear them up. Wendy said that some of them stole her, she had lots of money, because of her birthday, That was amazing!!!it was her birthday????she didn’t know anything!!!They went back home. Esther wrote in her diary that she’s grateful for the good friends she has, after all,...
