Love, Rosie (5 page)

will
probably
be
closed
down
for
serving
us.
Told
you
that
fake
ID
my
mate

got
would
work,
even
though
yours
did
say
you
were
born
on
the
31st
of

February!!

Just
wondering
if
you
remember
anything
that
happened
the
other

day
.
.
.
write
to
me.
You
can
trust
your
sister
to
pass
it
on.
She’s
mad
at
your

mum
for
not
letting
her
drop
out
of
college.
Phil
and
Margaret
have
just

announced
that
they’re
having
another
baby
so
it
looks
like
I’ll
be
an
uncle
for

the
second
time
round.
At
least
that’s
taking
the
attention
off
me
for
a
change.

Phil
just
keeps
laughing
at
what
you
and
me
did.

Get
well
soon
you
alco!
Do
you
know
I
didn’t
think
it
was
possible
for
a

human
being
to
go
so
green
in
the
face.
I
think
you
have
finally
found
your

talent
Rosie,
ha
ha.

Alex/
Mr.
Cocky,

I
FEEL
AWFUL.
My
head
is
pounding,
I
have
never
had
such
a
headache,

I
have
never
felt
so
ill
before
in
my
life.
Mum
and
Dad
are
going
ape
shit,
hon-

estly
you
never
get
any
sympathy
in
this
house.
I’m
gonna
be
grounded
for

about
30
years
and
I’m
being
“prevented”
from
seeing
you
because
you’re

“such
a
bad
influence.”
Yeah
right
whatever.

Anyway
it
doesn’t
really
matter
what
they
do
because
I’m
gonna
see
you

at
school
tomorrow,
unless
they
“prevent”
me
from
going
there
too
which
is

absolutely
fine
by
me.

Can’t
believe
we
have
double
maths
on
a
Monday
morning.
I
would

12

Cecelia
Ahern

rather
get
my
stomach
pumped
again.
Five
times
over.
See
you
on
Monday

then.
Can’t
wait
to
get
out
of
this
hell
hole,
its
doing
my
head
in.

Oh
by
the
way
in
answer
to
your
question,
apart
from
my
face
smashing

against
that
filthy
pub
floor,
flashing
lights,
loud
sirens,
speeding
cars,
and

puking
I
can’t
remember
anything
else.
But
I
bet
that
just
about
covers
it.
Any-

thing
else
happen
I
should
know
about?

Rosie

To
Rosie

Glad
to
hear
everything
is
as
normal
as
usual.
Mum
and
dad
are
driving

me
crazy
too,
I
can’t
believe
I’m
actually
looking
forward
to
going
to
school.

At
least
no
one
will
be
able
to
nag
us
there.

From
Alex

Dear
Mr.
and
Ms.
Dunne,

Following
the
recent
actions
of
your
daughter
Rosie
we
request
a
meet-

ing
with
you
at
the
school
immediately.
We
need
to
discuss
her
behavior

and
come
to
an
agreement
on
a
reasonable
punishment.
I
have
no
doubt
