Oh my God – I am in so much TROUBLE!!!
Ok. So I snuck out to go to Sophia’s party…
It really seemed like it was a good idea at the time. I said I had period pains and pretended to go to bed early with a hot water bottle. How was I supposed to know Mum had played the exact same trick when she was my age?
Anyway, I had to get to the party so that Tom could see how cool I was outside of school – how could he fall madly in love with me otherwise?
Well there I was in Sophia’s kitchen, chatting with the girls and drinking a bottle of blue WKD that her older brother Mikey had got for us, just waiting for Tom to come and talk to me. I had done a pretty good job with my make up and hair and was looking pretty sophisticated and sexy, I had even borrowed Mum’s chicken fillets and my boobs would have rivalled Louise Black’s any day! Next thing I know, just as I was flicking my hair like they do in the shampoo adverts and giggling loudly with Donna and Kate (so Tom could see how much fun I am to be around), I heard a voice cold enough to freeze Hell say “Evening Lillian, fancy seeing you here!”. I could have died. It was like one of those moments in a film when silence seems to spread across the room. Tom had certainly noticed me now, just not in the way that I was hoping for.
Mum looked like some kind of wild animal, her hair was a mess, she had come out in her slippers and the look in her eyes told me that I was going to be paying for this for the rest of my life. Without saying another word, she put her arm around my shoulders and steered me out of the house towards the car. I have never wanted the ground to open up and swallow me more. It doesn’t matter if I am now grounded for the rest of my life or she sends me off to Hogwarts, I am too embarrassed to face anyone ever again. Tom will think I’m a complete loser, he’ll have snogged Louise Black with her big (no chicken filleted) boobs and my life is ruined.
