Stupid cow Fi has decided she fancies Andy. Silly cow! She knows I’m obsessed with him – I flipping talk about him all the time and everything! She phoned me up this afternoon and was going – I don’t know if I fancy him or not – then she goes – should I ask him out. Stupid bitch. I’m going on the bus hopefully with him tomorrow I can talk to him then. I hope he doesn’t mention the Valentine. I bet it’s the only one he got! Me and Fi might be able to have a joint party – that would be ace – we’d have ‘admit 2’ invitations so we could dget some new people to come. Either in 2 or 3 weeks, probably 2 it would be. A better idea would be for Andy to have a birthday party, that would be better – cos it would mean we wouldn’t have to spend out loads on booze etc! I phoned Helen T she seems fine, she’s annoyed that BA fancies her. I don’t reckon she is really, she’s quite flattered really, I reckon. I also phoned Jo and she said I should deff Andy as I’m starting to make a fool of myself. I’ve already done that. She’s right though, he’s had ample opportunity to get it together with me and unless there’s something wrong with him that makes him unable to talk to me, he would’ve made an effort. I should be nicer to him though, I just ignored him some of the time.

 

24th October 1986

I’m writing on the train, cos every other time I take my diary down to Reading, I never have time to write in it. There’s a real weirdo and his 2 pals next to me. He’s wearing gorgeous dark denim ‘flares’ and a really nice tight dark blue polo neck. He’s got hair all over his face, and long hair on his head. The chap sitting opposite is all right, except he’s wearing a tank top which looks like a present from his mother. It’s really hot – even though all the windows are open. there are loads of people standing too. Today was another doss about day. We had squash but when we went over to the courts we didn’t see anyone interesting – except for Matthew U. who I hate anyway. He’s a right sod, but he used to be really friendly while I was going out with Jeremy. We played form hockey against L5C at lunch. The score was only 1 – 0 to them which surprised me. I thought we’d get absolutely thrashed but the ball was in our circle all the time, and me and Kati really had to work. Helen T spent most of the match moaning – as usual. I don’t knwo what had happened this time – something about any person from L5C being ‘dead meat’ if they came near her! Silly cow! There’s a German exchnage this year which I will hopefully be able to go on. It sounds really good as they come over during the last two weeks of the Easter term, and for 3 weekdays they go to school, but for the rest, excursions are arranged between them and all the other Germans. We go over 20th August to 7th September, and it’s basically the same thing except the except for less trips and not much school – 2 days I think. It’s in a town called Wiensieb, near Frankfurt, on the Rhine and bordering on the Bundesrepublic so that sounds ace, and it doesn’t cost as much as the French one. I hope I’ll be able to go.

Friday

We have German every day now. Mrs Derby’s a real cow – she makes ou write massive – and if you get anything wrong!!! We also had double games. We only do badminton, squash, lacrosse, dance adn aerobics in single lessons. It’s dead good. I went to hockey today after school it was really good. I can’t find my leotard anywhere, I can’t think where it is. We had our first play meeting – Rachel has refused to play Cauchon, she only auditioned for Joan you see! Silly cow!
