I laid in today seen as I hadn't made any to do anything and nothing was going off. When I finally got up Mom had already sorted Carol out and Dave had picked her up to look after her for the day. I dont know why, mom wasn't doing anything.
I told mom that Bob, (Mr. Venn,) Liam's Dad offered me a job in his car garage. Mom was really pleased, hugging me and going on about how fast I'm growing up and all of that. Still, it was better than her being angry, although I can't see why she would have been! Mom told Zack who didn't share her enthusiasm.
He started asking why I didn't tell him I was looking for a job as he would have sorted me out with his construction firm. I was polite even though he was being an as and told him that I hadn't been looking for one I was offered it out of the blue, but thanks anyway. Then he started asking how many hours I'm going to work and how much Bobs paying me, and how his firm could match it if I wanted, and I'd have a 'proper' job then. How can they match it when even I don't know any of those details yet myself? And like I'm gonna work anywhere near him! To try end the conversation I said I didn't care, I wanted to work at the garage as Liams their so it would be a laugh. That set him off on a rant about how you have a job to work and earn money, not to socialise and have fun.
It was somewhere throughout that rant that I kissed my mom on the cheek and walked out of the house. I'm not letting him rant about me, why doesn't he give my mom the god damn job she sure could use it! But I wanted mom to know I wasn't pissed at her, its that as. Surely she will have picked up on how he's always getting on at me by now - and he has no right to do so -he is nothing to me, and I'm nothing to him; he should stay out of my business.
I went round to crash at Jimmy's and we played computer games all day, even though he kicked my as at them! I don't know how he can play on those things all day - wouldn't he rather be outside playing something more active where you are actually involved in the game, not some character on a t.v screen? I just don't understand!! While I was their he was going on about this girl he met the other night, but I didn't tell him about me and Terri, its our business so I'm not going to gossip about it to someone else.... and its embarrassing too!!!
I went home that night and Cazzy was back and Dave was there, telling mom where the two had been all day. How he'd taken her here and don't this and that with her while mom 'uhmmm' and 'ahhh' in all the right places. I didn't see Zack but didn't look for him either.
Jack.
