This is my version of Josie & her thoughts.
These thoughts take place just after Jacob's met Josie's mother for the first time, you don't have to have read the book.
Josie's World
Chapter 1: My First Date
I can't believe the cheek of Jacob, turning up like that. What was he thinking? That my mother wants me going out with a pig that grunts, instead of saying hello to her? And his clothes, he didn't try at all to be neat and presentable. He wore a tie at the school dance, he looked respectable then, actually like a human being. Not like the moron he looks like now. I should have dressed in my tomato clothes, not that I'd be seen dead in them anywhere, but at least then we would be at the same standard of dress. If he does one more insolent thing I'm going, I don't know where but I'll walk home if I have to, rather than put up with him. I thought he was nice, and he actually thought about things, you know. Different from his friends. I should have realised the first time I ever met him to stay out of the way, I mean squashing egg's against my glasses when he attacked us in the alleyway. Thoughtful? No. Nice? No.
My first date, My first big favour from my mother and I wasted it on Jacob Coote.
I don't know what I was thinking, going out with someone from Cook High, even the school captain. I mean if that's the "responsible" one, imagine what the rest of them must be like? Anyway it's actually quite restful sitting on the back of Jacob's motorbike. At least it means I don't have to talk to him for a while. I hope Nonna's spies aren't out or I'll never hear the end of it for weeks, like I don't already have enough to worry about. My mother will never trust me again. She already must think I have a terrible choice in guys...Oh great one, aren't I smart?
I tried to hold onto my temper as we walked into the movie complex, but his attitude was making things worse.
Honestly he was the one that had already ruined the evening, you could have thought he'll be a bit ...uh....ajusting?
Pride and Prejudice sounded like a great movie and I really wanted to see it, but when I suggested it to Jacob it was no go there. Don't know why I bothered, maybe because car chase movies or ones where people just make out the whole time, are not what I enjoy. Knowing this I should have assumed that was exactly what Jacob wanted to see. I wish Moron's From Outer Space was showing, he would have related perfectly to those Moron's. Maybe I shouldn't have screamed it so loud because Jacob got even more pissed off, and that's when our date officially finished I think. Well I like to say it was. When my children ask curiously, so what was your first date ever like I don't want to say, well I was screaming at this dick-head at the movie complex down in Glebe, romantic? I don't think so.
When Jacob told me to go back to my own country at the top of his lungs, I ran. I thought that is the last straw, the last insolent thing I'm going to take from him. I had no idea where to go or how I was getting home, I just wanted to get away.
