Last night Bob came round to the house to see me. I thought I had done something wrong at first, but he just wanted to know if I could do some extra work for him today as one of the lads is ill. He had to come around because he couldn't phone... I said I'd do the extra hours, so that's what I did this morning. I worked from about eight and stayed late in the back with Bob who showed me some more things on the car after it quietened down, which was fun more than anything. Bob is such a laugh, always telling jokes.
He gave me $40, saying there was extra because of the short notice! I told him he didn't need to give me extra but he told me to shut up and take it!! He also asked if I had a cell phone, but I didn't. I told him I was saving up for one and would give him the number then so he can ring me in the future. He laughed a bit and said that his wife had just bought him a new one for his birthday, so I could buy his old one off him, if I wanted to that was. He said it was pretty decent, just needed a new cover. I said sure, and he asked $15 for it!!!! I told him I would pay more than that but he said it was all he wanted, he was trying to get rid of it. I don't believe it happened just like that, I think he was trying to help me out without letting me know. Still, I gave him the cash and he gave me the phone. Its really flash too, a good one. Its small and silver, and flips open too.
After I left and made sure I said thank you I went round to the shop on my way home and bought a top up card to get some credit on my phone, so I could call Terri. When I got in I decided not to tell my mom because she uses Zacks all of the time, and I don't want her nicking off with it. I know its not nice to not tell her, but I don't want to loose it either. I'll hide it for a few weeks and then tell her I bought it with my wages. If she knew how cheap I got it for she would probably get pissed off that I hadn't had to pay a lot for it, when Zack has just paid loads for his new one.
In my room I stored Terri's number in the phone and rang her. I asked her how she was and if we were still on for the beach tomorrow. She laughed and said she was. She said she was happy I finally decided to ring her as she thought I wasn't interested in talking to her. I said that I lost my phone and only just found it, which she seemed to fall for. We talked a little more before Terri had to go for her dinner.
I just need to buy a phone charger and then I am set, I can't believe I've got this phone. The games are really cool on it too, I spent all night playing on Space Invaders! When mom came up to put Cazzy in her cot I hid it under my bed in the box of my old trading cards, she will never look there. I couldn't do much after that as Cazzy was snoring and I didn't want to wake her or watch television with mom and Zack so I finished the rest of Bravo Two Zero. I might ask Terri if she wants to go to the mall one day, then I can get a new book and a phone charger, and maybe Terri will like something that I can buy her too!
Jack.
