OMG! I'm in Love with a Geek! (42 page)

MGK disappeared TOTALLY today. Keith let her. He thinks you should trust adolescents completely and they will “surprise and reward you”.

Keith has clearly never brought up anyone! Good job he's had nothing to do with my brother!

MGK has been with Lachlan all day. Apparently it's serious. It always is with her till it's not and she's dumped them!

Met Wayne in the mall! We didn't really do anything but it was good to have a look round. I don't think we fancy each other. I think we are both a bit … bored.

Keith said today he'd like to spend more time with us and that maybe we're spending a little bit too much time with other people instead of him. I said, “I know how you feel! We've had 15 years of it!”

MGK wet herself.

This might be the greatest comeback EVER.

Keith wasn't cross. He just said, “Fair enough, Hattie – but let's move forward, shall we? How about we just spend a bit more time together. What would you say to another Scrabble night?”

It WAS mahoosively hilarious.

Mum called – am I having a good time?

I am actually. I told her me and Ruby were getting on quite well sometimes.

OMG – I just called MGK “Ruby”!

Wayne may have THE worst name in the world BUT 1) he can surf (he keeps falling off but he also stays on a bit), 2) he has his OWN CAR! FINALLY A POTENTIAL BOYFRIEND WITH 4 WHEELS AND A MOTOR!

Wayne introduced me to his car. He put newspaper on the floor when I got into “her” as he didn't want any dust on the floor. I'm used to this. Rob is precious about his car. It's totally the sign of a good man.

Wayne dropped me off at home. MGK— Ruby thought he looked a bit “rough”. She means SEXY.

I think I might fancy him. Might. He's not … he's not my type.

He's not a geek.

OHHHH, WHY CAN'T I GET THE BOY OUT OF MY HEAD?!!

OMG – Keith and Butterfly have just dropped a BOMBSHELL.

THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED AND WANT US TO BE BRIDESMAIDS!!!

Apparently they've been thinking about it for a while and now we are here and “fit in so well” (?!) they want to celebrate their love with the people they love the most!

I'd better tell Mum.

Mum doesn't care. “He can do what he likes!” she said. Then she said, “Hattie, it's lovely to hear from you but couldn't this have waited till the morning?”

I forgot! It's night back home!

I'd better tell Gran.

Gran doesn't care either. She said, “Congratulations but I can't chat, Hattie. I'm playing ‘Words With Friends' on my iPad with a man from around the corner. I've not met him but I think he's got more chance with his marriage than Keith has. Goodnight.”

Well, Ruby and me are pleased for them. They are quite sweet really.

Wayne picked me up in his car. He does not want to be seen as a “hoon” (boy racer) so he drives sensibly. This means very slowly. He says he is cruising and he needs to “treat her right”. He polishes her ALL the time. He calls HER “Adrienne the car”.

Adrienne?

It's after the cat he had when he was 7.

Is that cute or really freaky?

I daren't ask Ruby.

Wayne was late today as he was polishing “Adrienne the car”. I am beginning to understand how a mistress feels. Wayne is married to Adrienne. I'm a bit on the side. I've seen this on soaps – it never ends well.

And I'm thinking all the time … If I had JUST perhaps said 1 sentence my life could be so different right now. I COULD be about to Skype someone who I just really LOVE and FANCY and LIKE and ALL OF IT. I could be in snog city not car mistress mist.

I'm talking crap but I know what I mean.

Wayne rang my mob. Adrienne the car is ill. He couldn't get her started this morning. I said, “No worries.” I'm going on a nature hike with my dad. Ruby is off with Lachlan – Dad is starting NOT to trust her. LOL!

OMG – I just called Keith “Dad”! What is going on?

Please note: leaves, ferns and fungi are more appealing than being with Wayne and Adrienne. That's not a good sign, is it?

Wayne and I were going to kiss tonight but I accidentally scuffed Adrienne's handbrake with my trainers. Wayne pretended it didn't matter but said he had to deal with it immediately or it could be permanent.
