"Dave's gone Crazy"

"Ok fine so I made a mistake but what about you?! You didn't stick up for me once when Lindsey was calling me stupid and drunk and-"

"That's because you were bloody drunk!" Dave shouted, dropping his ice pack and standing up as well so that I had to take a step back. "I was looking forward to tonight Georgia, to spending it with you! And you can't even be bothered to stay sober!"

"I was drinking because I was nervous okay!" I replied, "I'm sorry about what I caused tonight I really am and I really like you so why can't you-"...

Dave just SNOGGED me...

"What was that for?" I asked quietly.

Dave grinned, "You said you like me."

"We're gonna make this work aren't we?" I said and it made me feel all squishy and warm inside.

Dave said, "You betcha Sex Kitty."...

"Where's your cousin staying?" I asked.

"I think he's going to live with us for a while." Ellen said.

"Does he know anyone round here?" Dec asked.

Ellen shook her head so then Dave said, "Well we can always show him the ropes," and he winked at all the lads.

Tuesday January 3rd

9.15am

Mutti barged into my room and woke me up without knocking. Quel surprise. She said, "Gee I need to borrow your sports bra where is it love?"

I was wide awake then. I said, "Mutti you have got to be joking. There is no way you are fitting one basoomer of yours in there never mind both of them."

Mutti gave a little giggle then. Ergh. "Come on Gee me and the girls are going to yoga class."

I pulled the covers over my head and said, "Sogoinyourownclothes."

"Please Georgia love," Mutti said. Sandra, she is so moany. "I'll give you a fiver."

Hmmm...

I lowered my duvet. "Tenner. And you buy me a new one after you stretch mine with your overly large sheft."

"Georgia!"

"That's the deal Mutti."

She pouted but eventually said, "Fine."

Haha I win!

15 minutes later

Rang Rosie.

"Who the bloody hell is this?"

"Georgia."

"Georgia," she growled, "do you know what time it is?"

I said, "No, it got lost in my Mutti's danger-to-shipping"

"Huh?"

Ha that got her!

"Shopping trip today I just got some spenderoonys! Meet at Luigis at 11. Spread the word."

I hung up. Time to get ready me thinks!

1 hour later – aka 10.30am

Walking into town

It's actually not raining for once so my hair won't go akimbo on me. I hope. Return to Stalag in 3 days. Tell me, what is the point of going back to school on a Friday?! Why not just give us the weekend off and say Monday! And adults call us the thick ones. Pfft.

15 minutes later

Spotted Jas and Ellen at a table. They are such early birds. Haha.

1 second later

Wait... technically I'm early as well...

But there's always a first for everything.

11.05am

All the Ace Gang here now and sipping on groovy drinks. I got a hot chocolate since it is vair vair nippy noodles. And, you know, it has chocolate in.

Jas has got a smoothie. A smoothie for PANTS sake. In the middle of winter! She has clearly decided to get on the last minute bus ride to loony town. I should ask her to say hello to my Mutti and Vati – they have a permanent ticket.

10 minutes later

Mabs said "So where are we up to on the whole PANTS mission?"

I looked at her like she was vair vair dim, which clearly she is.

"Well we don't really need the PANTS mission anymore..."

Jools got all excited then and said "So he asked you out?!"

"Err... no. Not yet."

Jas chipped in then, "I'm not surprised after New Years. I still can't believe you made him fight Masimo." Oh great voley's back.

"Actually Jas," I said, I did not force him to do anything. I merely gave him a bit of encouragement." I drank a lot of hot chocolate then so I couldn't reply to any of their comments.

But unfortunately it was still hot and now I've burnt my tongue. Ow ow and thrice ow!

3 minutes later

The topic has changed from me and Dave thank baby Sandra. I do not need Jas trying to put my relationship down the pits. We're now discussing the new arrival – not a baby you idiots – Ellen's cousin. Or Liam as he's also known, that being his name an' all.

We (mainly Jas) asked loads of boring questions about his background etc. blah blah blah. But then Mabs cut in with the important stuff and said, "So is he fit?"

Ellen spluttered her drink a bit (glad I wasn't in the firing line) then said "Well... err, I guess that, well you know, err, he's not... erm ugly."

I raised my eyebrows at Mabs and we both grinned. Then Jas jumped in (spoil sport) and said, "Err I don't think it's very fair to make friends with someone just because of how they look. You of all people should know that Georgia."

I glared at her with the furiousosity of a thousand voles then. "What are you trying to say?" I challenged, "That Dave isn't good looking?"

She'd better not have meant that or I'll have to give her a good duffing up. Though I would like an excuse to pummel her...

2 seconds later

Jas shook her head quickly, "No, I meant your whole relationship with Dave."

"What about my relationship with Dave?!" What in the name of Grandvati's cycling shorts is she getting at?

"Well it used to only be based on looks and snogging." She said. I frowned. And growled. A little bit. Oh no, I've clearly been spending too much time with Rosie.

"But now," Jas said, "I guess it's because you actually like the people underneath."

Bloody hell what is she a therapist? I don't need my life analysing thank you. That's for Ester and Ester only.

1 second later

Although I do kind of agree with what she said...

Not that I'll ever admit that.

11.50am

Walking round town doing a long train of linkseys. Well if 6 is long that is, which I think it is. I bought a new lippy from Boots with the tenner Mutti gave me seeing as I now have a snogging partner. And more that that as Jassy Spassy puts it. Hehe...

I wonder how long it'll be before Dave properly asks me out. Like to be official snogging partners and all that jazz.

Perhaps 2, maybe 3 days? Boys are vair vair slower than girls after all.

8 minutes later

"So pallies," Rosie said, "What ingenious plan are we putting into action for our berets this term?"

Jas said, "I don't think we should be doing silly things like that anymore. We need to concentrate on our exams."

I would biff her but my arms are kind of stuck. "Jazzy our exams aren't till May. That's tones of time to be creative with more important stuff."

Jas tutted, "Don't act like they're not important. These are our G.C.S.E's and will count towards-"

"Jas, we did not come out here to get a lecture on how much work we need to do." I said, "Shut up now or we will be forced to dunk you in the pond."

"Georgia there isn't a pond in town."

"Oh picky, picky Jas."

12.30pm

Back at home. And bored. Jas is here with me.

"So what d'ya wanna do Jazzy?" I asked.

She shrugged and sat down on my bed. "I dunno. But remember I'm meeting Tom at 3."

Of course, bring Hunky boy into it why don't you.

"What you doing? Searching for a new species of mole?" Hahaaaaaa.

"No," Jas said pretending to be in a huff, "I'm going round to his. We'll probably just watch a movie or something."

"Oooo calm down."

She biffed me over the head with a pillow. Ow. "Just because all you and Dave do is snog."

"Err Jassy I think it was in fact you that pointed out before that me and Dave have a more meaningful relationship now."

Jas shrugged, "But still all you do is snog."

"No!" I said and pushed her over.

30 seconds later

"Why don't you come with me?" Jas asked.

"Excuse me?" I said, "You want me to be a goosegog now while you and Hunky get all snugly on the sofa. Ew, I think not."

"Georgia don't be ridiculous, you can get to know Tom better."

"I know Tom perfectly well thank you very much. Maybe not on Po and Hunky terms but still..."

Jas tried to frown but she ended up laughing. Ha!

3.00pm

Outside Tom's house with Jas. She's brought a bag of crisps. Honestly, who brings a bag of crisps to their boyfriend's house?! Weird.

Why in the name of all things nippy noodles am I here?

3 seconds later

Door opened.

It was Robbie! How could I forget that he lives here too?!

He said, "I Jas- err, Georgia, hi."

Jas said, "Hello Robbie."

I smiled my nice smile (i.e. no nose-flaring) and said, "Hi Robbie."

He grinned and said, "Come in come in, I'll go get Tom."

As Robbie ran up the stairs I grabbed Jas and whispered, "You forgot to tell me he was going to be here!"

"Gee calm down its only Robbie."

"Yes Robbie my Ex! If Dave finds out this he's going to think that... he's going to think something really really bad and I've only just got his trust back!"

Jas stopped and said, "Ok first of all, you never had his trust when you let your red-bottom make you snog every passing boy so I think you meant 'I've only just got his trust'. And secondly, you really like Dave I know that and you know that. And Robbie is just a mate so stop being so paranoid!"

Wow.

That shut me up. I nodded like a nodding thing and followed her into the lounge.

1 minute later

Tom has just entered with Robbie behind.

"Hey Georgia," Tom said then bent over to give Jas a kiss, "Hi Jas."

Oh no, awkward moment. I averted my eyes from Robbie quickly.

Jas pulled Tom down next to her on the sofa and Robbie perched on the end next to me.

"I hope you don't mind me bringing Georgia, I just thought we should all hang out together." Jas said.

I looked away to roll my eyes but Robbie saw and started laughing. Jas turned to look at him so he turned it into a cough. I grinned.

Tom said, "That sounds great, you up for a movie Georgia?"

I nodded until my neck hurt, "Err yeah sure fine whatever great."

Jas elbowed me in the ribs then so I shut up.

"Right well I'm off," Robbie said, "Later guys."

We all said goodbye then Jas went to choose a film.

45 minutes later

Watching "A Bug's Life." No joke. That is actually what we are watching. A. Bug's. Life. It should be against the law for anyone over 10 to even own a copy of that, never mind voluntarily watch it.

Tom's sat with his arm around Jas. And she said I wouldn't be a goosegog. Ha! I should've known better than to believe her.

2 seconds later

"Erm I'm just gonna get a drink."

Jas made a sort of grunting acknowledging sound (how charming) and Tom said, "Alright. You know where the kitchen is?"

"Yeah." I said. "Err... you know, from when... erm me and err-"

Tom laughed, "Ok go ahead."

I tried to laugh as well then jumped out the room as quick as a quick thing and into the kitchen.

5 seconds later

Got my glass! Now let's see... if I was a bottle of lemonade where would I be?

2 minutes later

Someone's opening the backdoor. And I'm stood with a glass out stretched and my head stuck in a random cupboard. Fab.

"Err hello?" I said.

The door opened and someone walked in but I couldn't see due to the position of my head. I.e. staring at tins of stuff.

"Georgia?" Oh Christ on Bike its Robbie. "What are you doing?" At least he's laughing. Though I think it's more at me than with me. Especially since I'm definitely not laughing.

I stood back and turned to face him, "Err... I was looking for some lemonade."

He grinned and went to a cupboard and brought some out, "Here you go."

I smiled sheepishly, "Right. Thanks." I poured myself a drink. He's still standing there watching me. "Err... I though you went out?" I said.

Robbie nodded, "Just to drop something off at Dom's."

"Oh... oh ok." Awkward. It's never normally this awkward with Robbie. "So what's happening with the band and everything after Masimo threw his handbag away?"

Robbie exhaled. "Let's see... Masimo ordered me out the band, threw a bit of a fit... then stormed off when everyone stayed silent."

I leant over the counter opposite Robbie. "So you're still in the band? And Masimo's out?"

"Sure seems that way."

"But... I mean, I thought you were going back to Kiwi-a-go-go land?"

"Yeah... yeah I was. But things change you know."

I said, "What about that girl-type person you said you had over there?"

Robbie paused then looked up and smiled, "I've got better friends here."

I grinned, "Well I'd have to agree on that."

30 seconds later

"So what are they watching in there?" Robbie asked.

"A Bug's Life."

He raised his eyebrows. "A Bug's Life? Something tells me that wasn't your choice."

Look who's quick off the mark today.

"I would never in the name of all things holy pick that film to watch."

Robbie laughed, "I forgot how weird you can be and yet insanely normal at the same time."

"Err... thanks..." I think.

5.30pm

Back in the lands of the weirdos: i.e. Jas and Tom.

But at least the film is over.

"So," I said, "What interesting thing shall we do now?"

Jas perked up, "Well I was thinking we could-"

"No Jas," I said, "I said interesting."

She huffed, "But I haven't even given my idea yet!"

"That's because I'm only allowing interesting ideas."

Jas has officially hit nervy b on the losing it scale. Oh well.

Friday January 6th

Lunch

Back at Stalag 14 after the Xmas hols. So far it's been... sufficiently boring. Hawkeye gave the Ace Gang a good glaring over in assembly. I'm pretty sure she's spending a bit too much time with Miss Stamp if you know what I mean and I think you do. Ew, I do not want that image in my head.

Dave hasn't called me since I saw him in the park. Which was about ten zillion days ago. Ish.

But on a more positive not in Sandra's world there is a Stiff Dylans gig tonight and Jas said that Tom said that Dave is definitely going! Perfectamondo!

2 minutes later

Rosie: "I hate Hawkeye."

Me: "Me too."

Rosie: "I wish we were allowed to sit next to each other."

Me: "Me too."

Rosie: "I want my beard."

Me: "Me too." Wait what?!

I sighed, "Rosie what did you do with your beard?"

"I left it in Sven's pants."

Oh blimey. "What was it doing-"

Actually, no. I so do not want to know anymore.

9.15pm

Stood outside the Crazy Coconut with the Ace Gang and Sven. I'm wearing my new amazingly awesome shoes that I got for Xmas with the matching that Jas got me. Awesomness personified. Oh yeah.

Sven is looking even taller than usual if that's possible. And definitely more Svenish. Oh yeah.

"Rosie," I said, "Has Sven actually grown?"

Rosie shrugged, "Maybe. He's been learning yoga."

Yoga? Sven does yoga? Right...

9.30pm

Wooooo the Stiff Dylans have just come on stage!! Robbie nodded at Tom, Jas and Me before starting his first song. We all cheered really loudly. Especially when Dom announced that Robbie is officially back in and Masimo is out.

Me and Rosie shouted, "HORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN!!" And Sven. Obviously.

45 minutes later

The band played an AWESOME first set doing loads of copies of cool beans songs. Us girls have just paid a visit to the tarts wardrobe to do the usual makeup repairs, Jas adjusting her gigantibus knickers etc.

"Where's Mabs?" Jas asked looking around. I looked around as well. She was the only one not here.

Rosie snorted, "Probably wherever Ed is."

I biffed her (brave I know) "You're one to talk."

She growled. And shoved me into Jas who was sorting out her fringe. Who fell into Ellen who was reapplying lippy. Who fell into Jools who was putting more mascara on.

"OWWWWWWWW BLOODY HELL!"

I stood up quickly and hid behind Rosie.

"Sorry Jools," We said together really quietly and took a step back. Many steps back.

11.00pm

Haha Rosie just requested the match of the day theme tune of the Stiff Dylans!! She really is a sandwich short of a picnic.

1 second later

What does that actually mean?

3 minutes later

Woooo! We just did the "Viking Fire Dance" in front of everyone it was cooler than too ice creams in a freezer in winter in the Antarctic... okay enough.

Everyone clapped along and cheered and whistled when we finished. It was double cool with knobs on.

11.10pm

Jas shouted loudly in my ear, (nearly deafening me I might add, she shows no consideration for others) "Looks, Tom and Dave and the lads are over at the bar!"

I nodded and yelled at her, "O-K-A-Y!"

We sort of boogied/shuffled over to the bar. I remembered to do flicky flicky with my hips on the way.

About half way there I saw Dave get up out his seat and come to meet us. Jas said, "See you in a bit Gee," and carried on towards Hunky.

I smiled in what I like to think is an alluring way (a bit of teeth showing and no nostril flaring).

Then this weird thing happened. He held out his hand (for me to shake?) and said, "Hi. Are you Georgia?"

That got me. I said, "Err...well... err yeah." Dave has clearly been spending too long inside the crazy coconut. Emphasis on the crazy.

"Great. I'm Dave." He said then grabbed my hand and pulled me on the dance floor. Oh no Dave has lost his memory again. You have got to be kidding Big G!!

5 seconds later

"Dave what's going on?" I asked as he spun me round. I'm beginning to feel vair vair dizzy. Although he is a groovy dancer... and looking very yummy scrumboes tonight...

"Nothing..." Dave said. "Just starting again. Like we said remember."

I frowned, "But... why don't you know me?"

He laughed, "I do know you. But we're starting again. So I don't know you anymore. Well, until now."

Okay seriously, that did so not make any sense. He's cracked. Dave's gone crazy. If only we weren't moving so fast I could ask him about it.

1.00am

Ok I think I'm going to die. I've been dancing with Dave for soooo long. My legs are officialy going to drop off. I'll have to hobble round on just two stumps and if someone pushes me I'll land on my bum and have to bounce along down the street and people will laugh and be mean and-

Okay so maybe I'm getting a little carried away.

2.00am

Dave finally let go off me only to do some mad hoc dancing with Sven. He has definitely been eating too many jammy dodgers and is all hooked up on sugar. I should try that next time I have to sit through Miss Wilson's lessons.

The gig's pretty much over now thank Baby Jesus. I want my bed. My feet hurt as well as my legs. But at least my shoes are groovier than a groovy thing.

2 minutes later

Dave's coming back over. Pleaseeee don't make me do anymore dancing.

"Georgia, are you walking to the night bus stop?"

Ok that is so weirdly familiar and déjà vu-ish. I swear he's said that to me at some point before...

5 minutes later

Walking to the bus stop with Dave and Jas. Ok this has definitely happened before. I know it. If only I knew when...

Maybe I'm turning into a mystic meg and saw this happening in a dream or something...

Though walking to the bus stop is hardly an interesting dream.

3 minutes later

Dave's bus is here. He gave me a peck on the cheek. A peck on the cheek I tell you! And that's the most snogging I've done all night! What's up with Dave?

"Here's my bus. I had a groovy night; see you later." Dave said then winked at me before getting on the bus.

I stood there with my mouth wide open probably looking agog as an agog thing as ever looked in the history of agog-looking.

"Gee..." Jas said, "Gee are you ok?"

"I know what he's doing!" I shouted suddenly causing Miss Jazzy to jump backwards in a slight spaz. I carried on, "He's acting out exactly what happened when we first met!!"

Jas looks a tad (i.e. majorly) confused. "Georgia what are you talking about?"

How rude. I said, "He's done everything that he did the first night we met! Remember at the gig?! We danced forever that night as well!"

10 seconds later

Jas is taking her time getting this into her head. She is so slow sometimes.

"That is so cute," She said eventually. Excuse me? "I can't believe he remembers the first night you met. That's adorable. I bet you don't remember half of what he does. Well without be reminded that is. I'm sure Hunky does I will have to-"

"Jas," I frowned.

"Yeah?"

"Shut up."

She huffed a bit then but at least didn't say anything else.

25 minutes later

In bed. I can't believe what Dave's doing. It's... weird.

I shall never ever sleep now. I'll just be thinking about this all night every hour every sec-

ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
