Gran has given me a lecture on men too. Basically they are “not women”. Thanks, Gran!

Everyone wants me and Goose to happen except Goose. And Megan Fenton. And Nicky. But mainly Goose.

According to Weirdo Jen Nicky is going out with a girl called Stephanie Rowland. She's a skater. So even Nicky probably doesn't care now either.

His heart was obviously not THAT broken!

3.24 p.m.

Goose has texted me to see if I want to go and see a film at his house. He says his mum will be there but would I like to go and join them?

Got nothing else on. Might as well.

9.29 p.m.

OMG!

We watched
The Notebook
on DVD (my favourite) and then it got all weird. I cried at the end. I always do. Then Goose's mum went out to make me a cup of tea and Goose started talking about how it's worth waiting for the love of your life. I said I wouldn't wait for years! And … Goose went all quiet at that point. He was just about to say something and his mum came in with a packet of chocolate HobNobs.

That … I mean … Nicky NEVER did anything like that. SAID anything like that.

OMG – just remembered I've got the dentist tomorrow. That will stop any love with ANY man DEAD in its brace tracks.

It was tense tonight. Erotic sexy tense. You could feel the hotness. Before the HobNobs. They ruined everything.

Just been to see Mr Winkler the dentist. I still have to wear my brace. Probably for ever. I will never be able to go abroad without setting off a beeper and being frisked. AND there's still a massive gap where they took my teeth out. I may sue for emotional damage and snog starvation.

6.29 p.m.

OMG – What have I done?! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

Just went to see Goose:

GOOSE:
How was the dentist?
ME:
Great – I have to wear the braces for EVEN longer!
GOOSE:
Well, I think they're cute.
ME:
Well, that's OK then – the biggest GEEK in the world who I totally LOVE thinks they're cute! World sorted!
GOOSE:
What?!
ME:
I said ‘the biggest geek in the world who I'm in love—'

OMG – I SAID IT!!!

I SAID IT!!! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!

I just ran out. Goose said, “Hattie!” but I kept on running. WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

Just ran home. Avoided Goose all day. Dimple and Jen think it was a good thing to do. The fact that he has NOT been round has convinced me it was a BAD thing to do.

10.32 p.m.

OMG – just had the most AMAZEBALLS NIGHT EVER!

Was watching
EastEnders
when Goose burst in and THIS HAPPENED…

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M WRITING IT!

ME:
Are you OK, Goose?
GOOSE:
I'm fine.
ME:
Are you though? Because I was worried.
GOOSE:
Why?
ME:
Why … because … I shouldn't have said what I said—
GOOSE:
Why?
ME:
Because…
GOOSE:
Yes, you should. Hattie, I bloody love you. I thought you might not be interested.
ME:
I thought YOU might not be interested. I really like you, too Goose. Always have. ALWAYS HA—

AND BEFORE I'D EVEN FINISHED MY ACTUAL SENTENCE WE JUST HAD THIS MASSIVE DESPERATE SNOG THAT WENT ON FOR ABOUT 15 HOURS AND WAS JUST HOT AND MENTAL AND COMPLETELY WONDERFUL AND I AM TOTALLY, TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH GOOSE. GOOSE. GOOSE. GOOSE. GOOSE!!!

And then he said, “Why has it taken us this long to do THAT?”

I DON'T KNOW BUT WE ARE NOW IN SNOG CENTRAL STATION ON THE HOT EXPRESS, GOOSE, AND IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL THING IN THE WORLD.

I'm holding the wall tonight. Goose is holding his too.

This is FINALLY the REAL, real thing.

11.08 p.m.

Texted Dimple and Weirdo Jen. Jen said:

Finally! HURRAH!!! Luv u!

Dimple didn't reply. She'll be asleep.

I can't sleep.

Goose.

11.23 p.m.

Weirdo Jen just texted again to ask if I knew Goose's time of birth, as she needed to do a full astrological relationship chart for us. She had done one for her and Simon and he has an “uncomplimentary Neptune”. Apparently she has to make “allowances”.

I don't care about Goose's planets. I just care about his HOTNESS SOLAR SYSTEM.

Dimple just texted to say she was:

REALLY happy for u.

I am really happy for us. I'm tired though because I held the wall all night. Actually I held Goose all night. In my head. The wall was just a way of being closer when there's an actual wall between you.

Am I even making sense? I don't care.

4.24 p.m.

I am so LOVED up I am totally making other people want to be sick and I don't care either.

Mum seems to be really happy about it. It's because she thinks Goose is a “lovely, sensible boy”. He is, Mum. He is also a TREMENDOUSLY AMAZING SNOG MACHINE.

4.53 p.m.

Nathan just barged into my room and started chanting, “Hattie has a LOVER, Hattie has a LOVER!” I tried to throw my duvet over his head but I just knocked over a chair which made Nathan start singing, “Hattie's arms are weak now from all the huggy loving!” HE IS UTTER EVIL. I told him that YES I DID have a boyfriend and that HE should GET A REAL LIFE, A REAL JOB and a REAL GIRLFRIEND. Then he looked sad and said “Actually Hats – I think you and Goose are … alright.”

Then he left.

Feel bad now.

5.35 p.m.

Just went in to see Nathan to say … sort of sorry for trying to kill him with bedding and sort of thank you.

He grunted. But it was a grunt with a bit of a smile.

6.17 p.m.

Rob just ran in my bedroom singing this song called “Oh Happy Day”. Everyone sings stuff in this house! It's like living in a musical. No wonder Goose loves my family.

Rob is happy because he thinks I am coming to every boot sale with him and Goose on a Sunday.

NO!

7.31 p.m.

Ruby just called my mob and said, “Why didn't you tell me about Goose?!”

I said, “Er … because you did actually go out with him last year, Ruby.”

Then she said, “Hattie – that was HARDLY a real relationship. We didn't even snog.”

When I shouted, “That's not what I heard!” Ruby snorted, “Rumours, Hattie, are for fools. Unless they make you look good.”

Ruby is still Ruby and slightly MGK … but I like her.

9.43 p.m.

Goose kisses like … oh, THE best kisser, and – he even smells like … really nice soap.

I just had some brilliant snogging with Goose. I wish Freak the gecko wouldn't stare at us though. Me and Goose start snogging and Freak just STARES. Perhaps he's jealous! LOL!

8.51 p.m.

I DO NOT kiss with my eyes open. I just peeked for a second.

9.04 p.m.

OMG – perhaps Freak is a gay gecko. It doesn't matter if he is, BTW. I totally believe in gay rights and gay marriage.

I LOVE the way that Mum hasn't gone mental about me and Goose. I think she understands that I am utterly mature and can be trusted.

10.13 p.m.

Unless Mum has fitted Freak with spy equipment and that's why he's staring.

10.34 p.m.

Just texted Goose to ask him to check Freak for mini cameras. He's told me to get some sleep. It's probably a good idea.
