A/N: Thanks for the reviews! This si just a REALLY short chapter explaining
what happens during supper that night.
Dear Diary,
I knew it was all too good to be true. Mom's ruined everything, my only chance to be with Freddy. I hate her. How can I go to school tomorrow and tell Freddy it's off because 'I'm not allowed to date'? It'd be social suicide. I'd be laughed out of the school!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
"Katie! Dinner's ready!"
"I'm not coming down!" I shouted back sulkily. I had been locked up in my room for hours, writing in my diary and playing computer games. I could stay up here all day if I wanted. Mom was bound to crack eventually and give in.
"Yes you are," cried Mom. She wasn't taking no for an answer. Well, she could shout all day, I wasn't going down. I didn't want to see her or eat dinner with her.
So I sat in my room for another five minutes, ignoring Mom. Eventually I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and a knock at my door.
"Go away," I said bluntly. Mum completely ignored me and walked right in the room.
"Katie, this is no way to treat your own mother," said Mom, narrowing her eyes and staring at me, "You can't talk to me like that and treat me with no respect."
"Well, maybe you could treat me with respect. I'm not a kid, I can look after myself."
"Listen Katie, I'm not going to argue. I'll speka with you in the morning."
Mom flounced out of the room and right down the stairs, humming a happy tune. She honestly didn't care, did she?
Hold on, I thought, I don't have to do what she says! I cna go no a date if I wnat to.....
