Friday 20 August.

Its midnight now, I just got in from Terri's friends party, and all I can way is wow!!

We met up around five at the bus stop where I had seen her with her friends on Wednesday. I asked if she wanted me to find someone to go into the shop for some booze for us but she said their would be plenty at the party. Apparently her friend Hannah is very well off, and has a very cool sister who decided to supply the whole of the alcohol for the party seen as it was her birthday. That would be the best birthday present ever, its a shame I don't have an older sister who is rich!

At first when she told me about this and their house I started to worry that it was going to be full of snobs who would look down on me, but it was quite the opposite. A few people from the area were there who I recognised, and everyone was on the same level. Even Hannah seemed nice - she wasn't stuck up to say she lived in the massive house we were partying in. After ten we got tired of sitting around drinking and listening to music so we decided to take the party outside, where there was a large rectangular pool in their back yard. How cool would that be?!

Everyone dived in and messed around in the water, and I was going to but Terri didn't want to. She said that her parents would be worried if she came home soaking wet and that they would convince themselves she had fallen into a lake or something and would get even more protective over her. I said 'yeah' pretending my mom would be concerned too. I felt a little bad about pretending, my mom probably didn't even realised I even left the house. I know it was wrong to lie but it was easier to say that than make her suspicious about something, anything.

So while everyone was in the pool we went for a walk into the trees and ended up in the grass kissing for ages! I can honestly say it was much better than fooling around in the pool would have been! After doing that for a while Terri asked if I liked her, and I was like 'of course.' She asked if I wanted to start seeing her properly, and I said yes straight away, as long as she wanted to. The good thing about being slightly drunk is that I am not as shy as usual. After getting past that we got back on track with the kissing until we had to set of to hers.

Terri had to be in for half past eleven so we left the party early and I walked her home. It felt quite nice walking home with my arm around her shoulder, I wasn't embarrassed about people looking at us. I left her at her door again and she waved goodbye form her bedroom door minutes later. She is really sweet. I am lucky she ever liked me never mind asked me out!

When I got home everyone was sound asleep, including Cazzy for a change. I better get to bed before I wake her up and set her off crying all night/morning! And I have got work tomorrow morning. Despite the fact that I will probably be slightly hung-over I'm still looking forward to it. Its another chance to make some money, and I like Bob too, he is pretty cool.

Jack.
