'Look,' exclaimed Tom as Natalie disregarded yet another one of his subtle attempts to end things between them, 'I am sick of you treating me like a block of wood which can buy things for you. I really don't think we are meant to be together.'

The two of them were outside Waterloo road, Natalie having given Tom a lift to work (against his will.)

In the end, Natalie decided to face Tom's wishes and made an angry reply, 'I am always so nice to you though... ... ... there's someone else isn't there?'

Tom stared at her.

'Well? Is there?' She demanded.

He didn't answer at once. 'I never said that.' He murmured.

'But there is!' She shrieked, 'how can she be better than me? I'm so cool, and hot.'

Tom couldn't bear to look at the angry tears burning her cheeks. As much as he didn't like her, he couldn't help feeling sorry for her. But it was her own fault! She treated him like dirt. He'd been trying to end it with her for ages.

To Tom's surprise, she suddenly stepped forward, her face ready to kill. She wasn't going to attack him was she? Not in the school grounds!
