Thursday 18th March-
Mara's diary:
I still can't believe Jerome asked me out! It feels like a dream. I'm so happy. I can't wait to see him! In going to go down to breakfast now and- No, wait.. I'm in my pyjamas.. Okay, I'll get dressed, brush my hair and teeth then I'll go down to breakfast. It's a plan diary!
~after breakfast~
It's not Jerome who asked me out diary.. Who was it?! Who am I going out with?!
Jerome's journal:
Mara just did the strangest thing. She walked in and kissed me on the cheek (that part was great) and then she said, "Last night was fun." I was so confused and I said, "I don't know what happened to you last night but I was at the hospital with Lillian. I'm sorry I missed the dance." Then she looked distraught and ran away... What was that all about?
Anyway, I'm going to go and have my breakfast for real now..
Mara's diary:
I'm going to go back down and eat my breakfast. Hopefully nobody will have noticed anything unusual. Oh, who am I trying to kid, of course they will have noticed something! I'm just going to have to act normal.
I hope Lillian's okay. It seems a little bit selfish to be focusing on boy troubles when Lillian could have died last night. I'll ask Jerome if we can go and visit her together after school.
I'm going down to breakfast now diary.
Jerome's journal:
I don't understand how this happened. It must have been at the dance. Dammit.
Mara's going out with... Mick.
