Hey again, so I've started to slowly update this story because, when I look back, it's just cringey and badly written. Hopefully my writing, and grammar, have improved since last year... It will take me a while because I've been having trouble where inspiration is concerned however I have been re-reading all of the books from the series so that should help me get a better look at all of the characters once again.

Sometimes I wonder what things would have been like if Dad and Charlotte hadn't have hit it off as well as they did. Would I still be stuck with the torture that was Kirsty McRae? Would the consequences of the great Macaroni and Cheese incident have been worse than what they were supposed to be?

Or could it have all been completely different and, while I got in trouble with the Headmistress, resulted in the people who were clapping for me that day looking up to me, as if I was their brand new Kirsty McRae.

I seriously doubt it would be the latter.

Kirsty had already painted the picture of me being a liar and everyone believed her, even if it was a tiny bit true. While they clapped for me at the time, I'm more than 100% sure that as soon as Kirsty came out of that office they all went back to worshipping her. The girls wanting to be her, and they guys wanting to go out with her - typical and a very common cliché.

I just wish that the current pupils of Clyde Academy could see Honey Tanberry; a much more elaborate version of Kirsty. I, however, would not liked to be have been around if she was there at the time. I can see it now, they would bond over their mutual hate for me and try to find more ways to make my life as miserable as they could.

A bit like now, honestly, just take Kirsty out of the equation. Yup, that's right, Honey Tanberry was still out to get me for what happened with Shay. I'm not going to lie though, I'd hate me too if I was her.

I also wonder what things would be like if nothing had happened between Shay and I, although I think that would also depend on Charlotte and Greg and how things worked out between them.

However while I wonder, I'm not going to lie by saying that I regret being with Shay. I mean sure, it messed a lot of things up for us - all of us - but, to be perfectly honest, I don't think I'd know what I'd do without him. The situation with Honey is bad, that much is obvious, but, as Charlotte said: she'll learn to except it one day. While I hope that that day is sooner rather than later, I'm not getting my hopes up for it being anytime soon. And just because things with Honey are as jagged as the rocks Shay and I climbed across doesn't necessarily mean that everything else is as bad as that, or that everyone else despises me as much as Honey does.

Skye went through a strange time. She seemed to be daydreaming more than I was, and that was saying something. We were all worried about her for months! But as soon as Finch came along she began to become more like herself again, we're just worried that while he's in London she'll return to the constant dreaming version of herself. Although Charlotte did buy her a notebook similar to mine, only it had small birds patterned across the cover, so I think she's trying to encourage her to try to sort out her dreams to her reality - I hope it helps.

Summer is still working as hard as she can where ballet is concerned, well as much as she's allowed to anyway. Everyone is trying their best to help her out where her eating is concerned. We've all had a private session with her counsellor about how to treat the topic of food around her, just to make sure we don't accidentally bring the horrible thoughts she was having back. The only one who seems to be able to properly get through to her is Alfie, which is something all of us found surprising. Especially Skye. In fact, I think even Alfie was slightly surprised and still may be.

Coco... Well what can I say about Coco? She's animal obsessed. That much everyone knows. Although Summer and Skye think that something happened between her and that Laurie kid that she's not telling us. But whenever his name gets brought up she always finds an excuse to leave or somehow changes the subject.

Honey's moving to Australia soon. That's something that we're all still extremely surprised and quite skeptical about. I think that everyone's just worried that her Dad will bail on her - again. But he couldn't... Could he? I mean, you can't just cancel someone moving halfway across the world to live with you. Can you? I don't know, I've never met Greg. But from what I've heard, and from the past trips up to London that he's cancelled, I wouldn't be so sure. I really hope that he doesn't cancel on her, I don't think that she'd be able to take that, at all. For some reason she worships him. But I'm not going to judge, I don't see anything wrong with my Dad either. There's still another week until she's leaving, so that means that she's definitely going to be leaving with something for us to remember her by - not that we could forget her. The only thing I'm worried about, is whether or not that she'll leave us being extremely kind and unnervingly friendly, or she'll just have another couple more wild nights that result in her coming back home at all hours of the morning.

Both sound terrifying to me if I'm honest.

Until next time, Cherry xo
