Chapter 10 - Diary
Earnest's POV
Bucky wasn't out yet.
He wasn't far off ; the violet bruises that had tarnished his skin had faded to nothingness, the glass was gone from his wounds , and the doctor told us that his ribs were nearly healed - but he still had a while to go before he was back to normal.
We told him last night ;about what we were planning ,about the bargain with Johnny ; about how Beatrice was going through hell to find evidence .Luckily for us , he was still on a little bit of morphine - otherwise he may have exploded.
"I guess there's not much I can do to stop you guys now ,is there? Just please be careful."
Judging from Cornelius' recollection ,we seemed to be having a problem with that.
"So what happens now ?" I asked Corneilius after he finished explaining what had happened, half dreading the response.
Before he had chance to answer , a certain gangly girl ran into the room , tripping over a shoelace and staggering a few steps, her arms streched out and flailing madly in a demented dance before she regained balance . Her dark blonde hair had escaped its pink ribbon and fell softly about her flushed face ; Her eyes flashed with mischevious delight like Edna's did whenever she's done something horrible to Hattrick's food ( i.e. every day up until he got fired ) and her braces glinted in her triumphant smile .
"I've got it - I've got it ! " She giggled ,sounding like my mum does when she's had far too much too drink (although Beatrice wasn't dancing on the table or singing 'I like to move it ,move it ' off key -that is the last time I let her have her friends round at the same time as our grottos and gremlins meetings).She held her trophy in the air ; a small , black book with pieces of paper poking out . After having to yank her fingers off it , I opened it at a random page.
Tad's been quite excitable lately . I wonder if he's keen enough for me to ask for a present yet - after all , he seemed quite keen on me when we were together yesterday and he tried to put his hand ...
Yep - this was Lola's diary.
"Beatrice , how did you get this?" Melvin inquired .
"She was on a date , so I managed to sneak back to the dorms and get it." Beatrice beamed , victory singing in her voice ."I can't believe I managed it!" .For some reason , Thad felt the need to start clapping , which was echoed by Melvin and Algie until Beatrice's cheeks nearly burned off . I laid Beatrice's prize reverently on the table, flipping open the first page ...
13th December
"Johnny's broke up with me again ,or tried to - it's amazing what a little bit of flirting can do .He found out about Gord , who's now in Harrington House recovering - Christy swears that Tad says he actually heard Gord's pelvis crack."
A few of the boys visibly winced as I read the page out.
"1st January
Hiya ! I can't believe the years gone by so fast , especially considering I have to share with that preppy bitch !Seriously , she has the nerve to call me a slut !At least I'm not shagging my cousins !
Anyway
New Year's Resolution
Have a smart boyfriend,
Have a rich boyfriend ,
Don't let Johnny find out about either of them
Maintain status as school sex symbol and queen of the greasers , or get better status .
"And Pinky's a bitch?" Cornelius commented .
"Only around Lola - the insults they give each other are first class" Beatrice remarked .
14th February
Broke my record today - 23 valentine's cards ! Johnny's taking me out tonight , so I've had to rescheduel my date with Tad .So many boys......so little time.
"Bugger - how many boys doeth thith girl date?" Thad asked , jaw practically on the floor .
"At least three - two of them keep waking me and Mandy up in the night by knocking on the wrong window" Beatrice recollected.
9th June
The school broke out into a mass brawl today. For some reason , Johnny decided to trash the girls' dorms . There's a huge message on the wall saying "Johnny and Lola forever" in green paint.
Luckily , Hopkins cleared things up . He's pretty cute for a bald, short kid .
"What is it with Hopkins?" Melvin asked , looking not very subtly at Beatrice .
"Melvin it was one kiss , and it wasn't even a proper kiss - we barely even touched. Besides , I'm over it , it wasn't just me ." For some reason , Corneilius got a bit jumpy at this point, asking if there was anything more recent.I flicked through before snapping the book shut.
"Nope - she hasn't wrote a word for four months."
"And we're back to square 's next on the list."
"Stalking ,but I value my life enough not to go on my own and I imagine you guys value your balls to much to come, so onto number 4."
"... Which is...?"
"We set up a date between Lola and some random guy . Then , we tell Johnny the location and time."
"Sounds good , but who are we setting Lola up with."
"Well hello there , dear nerds ." a faux english accent disturbed me and my fellow conspirators ."Listen , me and the chaps have a spot of homework to do The problem is I have a date tonight ,so I need one of you to do it for me" . He spoke slowly , like you would to a small child or how he probably talked to his servants at home.
"Well ,I'm afraid I just don't know if we can , especially after ..." Thankfully , Thad clamped his hand over Beatrice'smouth before she had chance to say any more.
"That will be fine , amigo," I stated ,trying to keep the manic grin off my face.
"Smashing ,Earnest. Oh , and before I forget - Beatrice , Bif wants a word with you ." At this , he swaggered off in a grand fashion.
Once he had gone , Beatrice yanked Thad's hand off her mouth.
"What did you say to Bif?" I demanded , was moaning about yesterday - maybe she let her mouth get the better of her.
"Nothing - I didn't trust myself , so I kept quiet when we were paired ." Beatrice insisted.
"Then why would -oh never mind .Onto more important matters, I believe we have the perfect candidate" Melvin smiled as he gestured towards the door Tad had just dissapeared through.
