Chapter 4

Wow! Thanks for the reviews guys I almost fell off my chair when I read them! Don't worry-Dave will get better. We all know these feelings are just a cover up!!

Im trying to make it as Dave as possible-but he is really pissed off.

Was going to update later but just can't wait!! Hope you like it xx.

Rosie's house

Because there are no gigs at the moment, we are preparing for Christmas. We are in Rosie's room thinking of gifts for people. I yet again, don't have anything to think about- I am planned for Christmas.

"Guys, I think we should do secret Santa as an extra present. That way the boys will have to get one of us a present." Said jools.

"Yer, that sounds good."

Im quite scared because they all look like they have had this conversation before…

Hmmmm….

"We could give it to the boys on Monday at school and then we will all know who to buy presents for."

Yes. This is suspicious. I don't know what is going on but im not happy about it!

10 minutes later

After many minutes of debate over whether they were playing a trick or not, I gave up because I was thinking to much and they had already changed the subject.

5 minutes later

"So gee. Saw you getting cosy with Danny earlier."

"Yes jas. That would be apparent. Because we are playing the main parts in the play. and

my character loves his character. It's called acting."

That shut her up. The moment I said 'main character' she went quiet.

"Well from what I could see, Dave looked a bit miffed at you and Danny earlier."

Oh great, here we go on that subject. Just what I need on a relaxing night in.

"Well tom told me that he thinks he still likes you. He could be jealous."

For a moment there my heart felt like it had stopped.

One moment later

He still likes me? But he said those horrid things? Well he has a funny way of showing it.

I said that to the gang.

"He has a funny way of showing it then."

Rosie laughed. "That would be because he is a boy. If you look at Herr kamyer for

example. He avoids Miss Wilson all the time. You can see she gets upset because she likes him too."

Well this is a funny comparison to mine and Dave's relationship. They don't have

accidental snogs…

Or do they?

Eeewww! No! Out of my head you terrible thoughts! Aahhhhh!

Now I am scared for life. If seeing miss Wilson in the nuddy pants with soap on a rope

wasn't bad enough!

I may need therapy.

Especially as Rosie just said she saw them canoodling in his classroom when she had

detention.

"Maybe he does romantic things for her…like….say romantic things in German?"

"I hardy doubt that jas. 'Rumanchen' doesn't sound romantic. And knowing him he

would go off onto a conversation about spankelferkel!"

That just set Rosie into hysterics. And then jools and mabs started. and then Ellen giggled

to herself. it cant be that funny. Especially as rumanchen and spankelferkel don't go

together very well. (Unless you have a dirty mind then you would think they slot together

nicely hahahahahaha. bad joke)

10 minutes later

When everyone had calmed down, we got back to the subject of me and Dave. (Poo) they said that I should ignore him being horrid and just try to get along with him. For a start, I should forget about the incident at the party. it was none of my business and I don't need to care about it.

1 minute later

But it did hurt to see him with her. Caring for her. Loving her? I don't know.

Outside in the dark. Walking home

It is really nippy noodles outside. And dark. I feel a bit scared actually.

As I was walking I heard a shuffling noise behind me. I turned around to see Dave walking behind me. He stopped and gave a small smile.

(Oh how I love his smile)

Then he was about to turn and walked way but I stopped him.

"No Dave! Wait. Please?"

He stopped and looked at me. His eyes are beautiful and green. I remember looking into them when I kissed him before.

"Im sorry gee. About what I said. I was being a prick and I shouldn't have said anything. I didn't mean it. Honest."

Wow. Long apology. But it made me feel warm inside to think that he cared enough to say sorry.

"Are you still mad at me?"

"No Dave. Im not. It just hurt that's all. Sorry for slapping you."

"Yer well you made me think. It hurt like billion though. I may even have a bruise."

"Oh ha-ha Dave. Im not that strong."

"No really." he walked forward till we were less than a metre away. I could see he was smiling. "Look just there. There is a little red mark still."

I stepped closer and looked at his cheek. He was right. A small red mark just under his eye.

"Sorry Dave. Maybe I got just a bit carried away."

He laughed and stepped closer a bit. We were so close that I could feel his breathe on my face. Minty. He was chewing gum.

He looked down at me and smiled. His teeth were so white and straight. he stared into my eyes and I could feel my legs giving way.

He leant down and I could see out of the corner of my eye, his hands were creeping slowly round my waist.

But before I could lean in to kiss him, he pulled me into a tight hug. "Im glad we are mates again gee. Good luck with Danny. Im sure you will make a good coup-I mean umm partners in the play. Yer. Just umm good luck." and with that he let me go and turned to walk down the street.

Noooo. I could feel tears coming to my eyes! Why won't you let me kiss you! That is all I want! A kiss! Maybe lip nibbling but just a kiss!

He turned to look at me and I could see a hint of regret in his eyes, and then he walked down the street. I stood there a watched as he disappeared in to the dark. And yet again I felt alone and cold.

20 minutes later

As I walked home I started to hum 'the hills are alive with the sound of pants!' but it just made me want to cry. So I stopped and instead I hummed the tune to 'all by myself'. it seemed more fitting to the occasion

Saturday morning

Woke up to Angus liking my toes. It felt all tickly until I saw it was his tongue. Then I thought of what else he had been licking and I felt sick. Libby came bumbling in and singing what she believed where Christmas carols. They were along the lines of "dindle bells, dindle bells. Dindle on your bum. Lots of Christmas chocmats and hairy feet for bums! Oh!"

It was quite disturbing. And I don't know where she learnt that bum rhymes with hairy feet but oh well. It did make me laugh though because she was wearing her nativity outfit and she was going as a Shepard. This meant that she would take a sheep-but instead she had gordy under one arm. He was covered in shaving cream to make him look "fluffy" as Libby puts it. As long as dad doesn't see she will be fine. And gordy for that matter.

The guys want to meet up at the park-to discuss more about Christmas. To be honest I can't be bothered. But Rosie will probably eat me if I don't go.

In the place I would call the Antarctic of Britain

In the park. It is cold. I swear my feet could have run away to Lapland by now and I wouldn't have noticed. I had hobbit feet I would be warmer.

But then I would not be able to fit into my nice shoes. And that would be a bad. And everyone would laugh because I would have the orang-utan gene on my toes!!

Best not to think about it really.

20 minutes later

"What are we waiting for guys? I don't really think it is a good idea to be waiting in the park for an unknown substance when it is arctic conditions."

They just looked at me like I was mad. Oh please say I haven't grown hobbit feet!!

"Gee, we are waiting for the boys. Then we are going to luigis."

The boys! Dave! Maybe it would be good to tell the others we were friends again. but maybe not the end bit-I have had enough rumours about my red bottomisity already, and would not think it a good idea considering the circumstances, to bring it up again.

It felt like a million light years later (however long that is..) but the boys finally arrived. They were in coats and gloves and scarves.

Dave was wearing a black jacket and bright red gloves. He had a red and black scarf as well. He looked gorgeous. Dave had his hair slightly gelled, but it looked like he had messed it up a bit. Scruffy. I like it!

He gave me a smile and I felt like melting even though it was so cold.

When we got to luigis there were loads of people. We shuffled to the back and found a small table. It was a bit hard fitting us round it. And in the end jas was on toms lap and Rosie on svens. Then jools sat on Rollos lap and Ellen squished up to dec. I sat opposite Dave. He kept crossing his eyes when he looked at me, and when he reached for the sugar he hit jas in the face and knocked the pot over.

"Oh sorry guys. It's a bit cosy over here and I can't quite control myself." oh he makes me laugh. While jas cleared up the mess, Rosie pulled her bag up onto the table.

"Um Rosie, there isn't much room for your bag on this table."

"I have something to show you gee, ad everyone else. Well mainly the boys. The rest of us have a surprise for you!" she gave a scary grin and opened the bag. Then she pulled out a smaller bag. And in that was an even smaller bag. I was a bit worried of the outcome of this, but eventually she pulled out a small hat.

"In this hat are small pieces of paper with our names on them. we are going to do secret Santa!" what? Oh. I really hate this. Because I end up getting the worst partners who buy me shampoo or socks! Merde.

The bag went round the table, and everyone had to shut their eyes and pull out a random piece of paper. We then quickly had a look and then hid the paper so no one could see who it was to.

Rosie smiled when she picked hers out. Then jools giggled and went a bit red. (Take a guess that she got.) Ellen blushed like a grapefruit. I mean tomato! Yes tomato. And jas tried not to show any emotion at all but ended up smiling like a Cheshire cat.

I put my hand in the bag and pulled out the piece of paper.

The tension the tension.

Everyone was watching me and leaning over the table to try and see who it was so I lent back as far as I could and unfolded the paper.

No!

Omg!

What am I going to get them!

This was sooo a set up.

Poo.

What if they don't like what I get them? They may hate it. Or think I hate them. Arrrggggh.

Ok so that is the 4th chapter. I won't be posting until I get 15 reviews. So please review!! On Sunday I went and saw stiff Dylan's in Brighton. We only heard 2 of there songs coz they came on so late and we had to drive a 2 hour journey back home. But I did stand next to them and Charlie smiled at me. Sooo enough of that. Thanks for reading. Give me help if u thinks I need it coz I don't mind criticism.
