When I came in this morning, Steph and Gracie were clucking around like chickens.
‘Faith’s new girlfriend is coming to Battle of the Bands on Saturday!’ Gracie filled me in.
‘Oh my God!’ Steph squawked. ‘The mysterious Claudia.’
‘I’m glad she’s coming,’ said Gracie. ‘It will be so nice to meet her.’
‘Yeah, come to think of it…Faith hasn’t said that much about her,’ I pondered.
‘I think she’s scared of putting too much pressure on it, too early,’ said Steph.
Avoiding putting too much pressure on things too early. Huh, there’s a novel thought.

Walked to Art with Faith.
‘So Faith,’ I said. ‘I hear, Clauuuudia’s coming to Battle of the Bands.’
‘Yes, Claudia is coming,’ she said.
‘What’s Clauuuuuuudia like?’ I asked.
‘She’s…Well… ’ I could feel Faith’s happiness and discomfort radiating from her in equal measure.
‘She’s PERFECT,’ I finished for her.
‘Ugh!’ said Faith. ‘This is exactly why I didn’t want to talk about it.’
‘Does she have dreamy eyes?’
‘Stop.’
‘Does she…understand you?’
‘You’re the worst.’
I am the worst. But I’m also massively, massively trying to distract myself from the fact that, from the event flyer, I can see Leon’s band are performing. How can I ignore him whilst he’s doing that? Would it be weird to wear an eyeless balaclava?

Dear God No
Just sewing some stuff next to Holly, when she said, ‘Are you still trying to meet boys on the internet?’
‘I was never doing that.’
‘Oh, I thought… ’
‘I was trying to get to know boys that I already sort of knew, using the internet.’
‘Uh huh. Well, are you still doing that?’
‘No.’
‘Why not?’
‘Because, actually, I realized I’m quite happy not knowing them.’
She shuffled in her seat.
‘Well that’s a shame…’
‘Why?’
‘My friend Adam, he saw your picture and he said you have a very square jaw.’
‘I… What?!’
‘He really enjoys a good, square jaw. Do you want to see his picture?’
She was already getting out her phone. She shoved it in my face proudly.
‘There,’ she declared. ‘What do you say to that, eh?’
There, staring up at me, was a boy wearing a leather Matrix coat.
Forget every other physical description I could give him. In the face of this, they are not worth mentioning. I repeat: A LEATHER. MATRIX. COAT.
Holly was clearly waiting for me to respond.
‘Um…he has a very square jaw too.’
‘I’ll tell him you said so,’ she said and winked.
Dear Lord.
Evidence: Even when you insist you’re fine on your own, there will always be someone in the world who wants to push their strange friend on you.
Cat Watch
I regret to say that, despite posting pictures of cats pretty solidly since Sunday night, there has been absolutely nothing from Kayleigh on the feline front. Even when I posted a video of a cat climbing into a sock, which was categorically ADORABLE. What’s wrong with her??? Is she made of stone?!?!
I’m wondering if maybe she hasn’t seen all my posts…Although I don’t know how that’s possible, because everyone else in the world definitely has. Earlier Gracie asked me if someone had hacked my account, and Faith threatened to choke me to death on kibble.
Still, I suppose it’s not been that long. Onwards I go.
