OMG! I'm in Love with a Geek! (55 page)

Of course it is. My family would love for me to sleep for 100 years and get no man action ever again.

OMG – fell asleep on Goose's bed whilst he was cleaning out Freak. Woke up to find he'd made me a cup of coffee and some toast but THEN Megan Fenton came round and went MAD!!! LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE GO MAD BEFORE! Then they had this MASSIVE ROW!

So I did but I could hear them arguing for ages through the wall. Eventually Megan stormed out.

I honestly don't want to hurt Goose. I'm just glad we are mates again. That sounds like I don't want to be more than friends. I DO. BUT I KNOW he's going out with Megan. NOTHING HAPPENED!

Told Jen and Dimple about Goose and Megan Fenton. They smiled at each other but they also told me there's now a rumour going round that I'm both a user and a stealer of boyfriends.

User. Fair enough but its not like I've stolen ANYONE'S BOYFRIEND!

Asked Goose if I could sleep round his whilst he cleaned out Freak again. He said Freak didn't need another clean and it was probably best if I tried to sleep round mine.

He's right. I've caused enough trouble.

Been asleep WITH NO NIGHTMARES! I texted Goose to tell him and to ask him if he'd fight Jason for me if I needed him to. He said that he'd probably call the police armed-response unit first.

I think that's a totally good idea.

I went to the boot sale this morning to take my mind off horrible things. I did not go to be with Goose. Honestly. Though I noticed that Megan Fenton did NOT go! I saw a fantastic ornamental sword but Rob wouldn't let me buy it. Even when I said it would make me feel better about defending myself against people in films who wear masks and murder people. Rob said a gun would be better but he wouldn't buy me one of those either. He did however buy me a high-pressure water pistol as that would “at least shock a psycho” and give me time to escape.

Just tried the water pistol on Mum. She couldn't move for about a minute. Then she went crazy. If I did try it on a murdering psycho it would make them even crosser than normal so I'd have to run twice as fast. LOL!

Megan Fenton is giggling again.

They have made up. Great.

No, I'm pleased for him. Goose is lovely and helped me sleep again.

I REALLY do HATE her though.

OMG – BIGGEST DAY OF DRAMA EVER!

We were all just standing around at lunch when Nicky came in to officially be excluded. (Why do you have to come in to school to be told to go home again?!) ANYWAY Nicky saw Goose and Goose saw Nicky and THEY TOTALLY STARTED FIGHTING! There were punches flying everywhere. Then Goose totally wrestled Nicky to the ground and they started rolling all over the long-jump sandpit! It was MENTAL. They didn't have an argument or anything! Eventually a teacher pulled them apart and said to Nicky, “Mrs Cob's office, NOW!” But Nicky said, “I'm out of this dump! SEE YA!” and just ran off. Then Goose looked at me and just walked off!

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!!

Dimple said the fight was TOTALLY about me. Nicky thinks that Goose has been “after me” for ages and has “filled my head up” with lies about Nicky and how much crime he is into. Don't they both actually realize that I AM MY OWN WOMAN with MY OWN OPINIONS?! I CANNOT be swayed by what a man thinks.

Is it feminist to be excited by 2 men having a MAJOR scrap over you!

I want to go and see Goose to find out if he's OK but I'm worried it's probably not a good idea right now.

Goose has NOT been suspended as several witnesses confirmed he was acting partially in self-defence. However he has been totally shouted at and told that it will be a different story if he ever gets into a fight again.

He never will. It's so not Goose.

Gran wanted to know ALL the details of the fight. She says it's TOTALLY feminist for a woman to know the “power that she wields”. “Look at Boudicca,” Gran said. “She didn't mind the whole of Britain going to war over her, Hattie. If you're driving men nuts you're doing your job! They like wrestling anyway. That's why they do it on the telly. I wish I'd seen it!”

Who is Boudicca?

She is an ancient WARRIOR QUEEN! I am SO calling my daughter Boudicca if I ever have one.

Actually I might stick to something more traditional when I have children. I understand what an unusual name can do to a person. I might just call my cat Boudicca or something.

Not my cat because you have to shout its name at night and sound like a doughnut. Perhaps just my fish should be called that.

All ANYONE could talk about at school today was
STILL
THE FIGHT. Some people are calling it FIGHT-GATE. Here are some of the rumours I heard:

•   It was about ME as Goose and Nicky fancy me. (Well – Nicky does a bit but Goose doesn't – I was lying on his bed asleep and he did nothing.)

•   It was about Megan Fenton as they both fancy her. (IF THAT IS TRUE I WILL GO MENTAL!)

•   It was a lover's tiff as Nicky and Goose are actually gay. (THAT rumour has Dibbo Hannah written all over it.)

Asked Mum her advice about the entire Goose/Nicky/Megan situation tonight. She said, “Hattie, just concentrate on your schoolwork.”
