100. ALL NIGHT CHASING

Tonight Esther was dying to go out, and from the beginning, it’s gone to pot. In the 1st pub they’ve been in, it was “the hottie blondie”; a guy who was going to private tuitions with Imogen and Esther, who lives in her neighbourhood. As it’s been said, he’s really hot, whom Imogen likes, well Esther too, of course. She even sees him sometimes, but they don’t remember his name, so they calm him “The Hottie”. And just with that joke, they’ve started to follow him, how embarrassing! At least she stopped to say Hi to the people she knew in that way. In the end, there has been a moment that he’s realised that it was quite a coincidence, so Esther said goodbye to Imogen because she just wanted to go home. But then, she said to go to the last pub, where by chance were Jay and Co. , and going to the toilet Esther has seen George, who’s told her to leave Jay alone, that she’s weighing him up too much. This was horrifying amazing!!! Really depressing for her, when she was waiting the moment to kiss Jay, and talk to him, and suddenly: this bomb! ... Esther couldn’t wait to go home to cry her eyes out, she felt so unlucky regarding love, why it was so difficult to get the boys that she liked? It was always the other way round, there had to be the boys who flirted with her, because if not she wouldn’t be with any guy. She just doesn’t understand, is she so ugly? She knows she can be quite shy and reserved at first, but drinking that wasn’t the case. She is always trying to be nice, and polite, what else wanted those boys? She’s been writing this in her diary, not knowing exactly what the heck was the problem with her, just after those 3 years going out, partying, meeting boys, but the ones he really liked, they weren’t in return, is she too demanding maybe? She doesn’t think so…

97. SURPRISINGLY

Tonight the girls have been calmly drinking in a pub and suddenly some guys introduced themselves, they were quite a pain, but thank God in the end they could get rid of them, they weren’t even cute… Partying through the pubs of the zone, Esther’s been seeing Jay almost all night long, but she didn’t realise until leaving the pubs, quite funny. In the last ones she was even embarrassed ‘cause this time she wasn’t following him. Someone whom the girls have also been running into, was Luke, who, by the way, finally has talked to Maureen, especially because it's too obvious too, how she stares at him, and confessed her that he didn’t want anything with her, just maybe good friends. So, she’s got devastated. Esther’s met Herbert and JM too, who have been teasing her a long time, they just go too far!! And then again dancing with JM’s friend. At the end of the night they’ve run into Ivor and Molly, who are all the time together, they’ve even said that they’re dating: amazing!!! They’ve become heavies!: amazing too; LOL. They were the kings of dance and right now they're heavies, how is that possible? Anyway! Good for them if they like each other, a bit weird though, after such a long time together as friends. That made her night and the girls too, gossiping about it.

96. MAKE YOURSELF UNDERSTOOD

Imogen and Esther have met to go to the cinema to see a movie they really wanted to see, and they’ve loved it. When they were leaving, they’ve seen Adam, Esther still feels weird since the kiss thing, and got blushed, that’s what happens if she’s not drunk… So, they went to the Sylvan to drink, hahaha. Then Maureen’s phoned Esther and they’ve met in a pub, but she arrived quite late, so meanwhile they talked to Luke and his friends, in that moment Esther realised that Imogen had never talked to Luke, probably that was the reason Luke had a very weird face, she just hopes Imogen is not saying anything that she wouldn’t. However that weird face from Luke was fun. The two girls have been talking all that time with almost every boy of the group, but all in a sudden Imogen wanted to change, and there’s no point to discuss it, she really hated that!! But that was when they met Maureen, who was expecting to see Luke and got annoyed because she didn’t see him in all night but the girls did. Well, that didn’t stop Esther to enjoy the night, who’s been talking with lots of guys, like Adam, Troy’s friends and another one called Freddy, who was telling her that he knew her from somewhere, but she didn’t, and there they have been a while. When Esther got home, she didn’t want to sleep, so she wrote in her diary the last news, and even though lots of things happen, she tries to see the good side in all, thinking that no matter what, she has to be herself and not let anyone bring her down. It’s funny because regarding Imogen, she can’t stand most of the things from her, but somehow she feels that Imogen is actually the only one who wants to be with her, whereas maybe other people or friends are with her for self-interest, or maybe that thought is wrong?

86. ALL AROUND

There’s a good feeling at class, Imogen is more relaxed, but she likes getting blushed to Alan, that’s fun, hahaha, though for him not. However it doesn’t seem to bothers him too much. The bad thing is that sometimes she says really seriously and dramatically to Esther not to like her his boy “excuse me???” after that order from Imogen, Esther got a bit annoyed, she even warns her to spend more time together, what’s that supposed to mean?? Esther took a long time to appreciate the good company and friends, and for her those statements from Imogen were not coming from a true friend. The good side of Esther’s confirmation course is that she’s surprisely having fun with all the new people. How not! There’s a handsome boy called Henry, even though he’s a joker, and she doesn’t like that at all. There’s been a dinner, so a lot of fun. Later Esther has met with her friends, it was a bit sad ‘cause she was talking to a group of nice guys, but not very nice for the girls, so she was not going to be alone with them. After that she put pressure on Maureen about Luke, that’s not common at all, but it is for them, she just wants to help, but Maureen doesn’t see it that way, she needs time.

68. REALISING THINGS

Well, Esther is now getting on better with Adam, they've been laughing at class, and it seems that Imogen doesn't like this at all. Esther doesn't have the fault that now Adam is sitting next to her. Besides, in the break Imogen wanted to follow them, and at that moment that was really awkward and stupid to Esther. And she got mad, bufff. Later she wanted to go to “The Sylvan” and her mother caught them, sooner or later this was going to happen, as she works near that bar... The night's been weird, first of all Maureen introduced to Esther, one guy from her town, 'cause they're visiting them and hanging out together. Secondly, Esther met Ralph, Troy's friend, who's been talking for a while, explaining her all that had happened with the group, and by the way he's not going out with them anymore, but with other guys who Esther met in that moment. One of them was kind of nice to her and they were flirting all the time. But suddenly the girls showed up, telling her to change the place, not even asking what she wanted to do, what resulted in a worse night and Esther a bit mad, of course, she wanted to be with that boy. Here is the question, is always this decision: if you have to choose between being with your friends or being with a boy, who could turn into something cool, what would you do? Obviously, Esther doesn't want to lose her friends, but she also wanst to have fun with a boy..

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.

35. New experiences

Today there's an alternative plan. Besides there's no confirmation course, so after class everybody to the swimming-pool!!!A lot of people have joined in: Wendy, Henrietta, Becky, Stelle, Aaron, Austin, Rufus and J.M. As soon as Becky saw his ex didn't last a long time there, the girls thought that maybe it was going to be a fight, however she got really mad at them."What the hell is he doing here?"-asked Becky looking at the girls. A long quiet, until Esther answered:-"We don't know, ask Aaron" But they didn't care, it seems that everybody have the same opinion as Esther, and after a while Becky left, they begun to enjoy more that moments. To Esther the surprise was that Austin was not than silly than she thought, there they were: jumping, laughing and swimming, of course. That night they've met again, not all the group, but the enough ones, although Ge'ne lately is a little boring. They saw "the guys", kindly talkatives, like Esther with Edmund, who was with other friends, introducing each other, and some of them were hot, even one, flirting with Esther, auntil Allan showed up, and more jokes. In those moments she realised her friends left her alone, 'cause they didn't want to see their ex, but why???She was having a great fun . Afterwards they all went home, even though they were over the limit with the car, and Esther doesn't like that kind of things, to her there are adventures and risks which are not funny at all. This is what she's written down in her diary, happy despite the last thing. Why does she have these best moments when the group is separated?Thinking that she could have been, perhaps, with Troy, still loving him.
