'The one thing I could never have'
By Jemma Spencer
Monday. Oh great I hate Mondays. It's that time of the week when all the happiness is drained from your body and you become confused with maths and some kind of weird something in science. As if my life could not get any worse, as I stepped out of my old Victorian house in Applemore Street, London, the worse rain you have ever experienced started to fall to the floor around me. I thought great; well this is the greatest day of my life, not!
On my way to school I knocked on Natalie's door socked from head to toe with cold, winter rain. But when she answered the door, you would have bloody thought it was a bright, sunny day in the middle of summer! With her mini denim skirt, long, flowing brunette hair and tiny crop top.

When we reached school, I had seemed to lose Natalie. But as usual I found her conversing with a group of boys in the corner of the playground. As I approached the form room, I heard the giggles and shouts of my friends talking about the weekend's events. As I entered the room, loud shouts of "Jemma!" erupted from my friend's mouths and they all ran over to give me a hug. Then all together they started telling my about a new boy who had come to our school.
"Ok, ok one at a time, now slow down!"
Then Becky, the school gossip, started to tell me all about the boy.
"Well, I saw him this morning and he is absolutely gorgeous. He reminds me of some one, but I don't know who?"
"Yah, he does doesn't he" Laura butted in.
"Anyway……" Becky carried on with the
Becky carried on with the weekend's gossip but me; I sat there thinking about the new boy. I wonder what he's like or were he comes from? Then just as I was daydreaming about some random thing, the bell rang out and stopped me from daydreaming, ah I wonder………..
