U shape
Dear Diary,
I visited Dad today. I don't like his new house, it's really empty and all the walls are white. All of Dad's stuff is still in boxes with 'Gordon' written on them. My room is really big and smells too clean. There's some boxes with 'Arthur' written on them but the stuff in them won't fill me room. It will still be too big. Dad's new girlfriend is called Hayley and she is very tall and thin. I don't like her either. She has a weird voice and needs to wear glasses but doesn't so her eyes are always squinty. I aksed her if she would help me paint my room like Russia in winter with lots of snow, Dad said I could if he didn't have to help. She didn't look very happy and kept asking Dad questions about G-Erti and why Mum got to keep her. I don't think Hayley likes me very much. I told her and Dad that I want Martin to be my significant other. They asked me if I knew what it meant and when I said yes Hayley started frowning and Dad started shouting at me. He said I was never allowed to say that again. I asked why and he just said it was wrong. I don't understand why it's wrong. I'm sitting in my room by myself now. I wanted to ring Mum and ask her to pick me up but Hayley is talking on the phone to one of her friends. I think Hayley lives here now. I'm pretending to be a pilot on G-Erti with only two passengers. I'm taking them on their honeymoon after their wedding but I'm helping Douglas with his smuggling again. I like Douglas. I want to help him smuggle things, because even if it's illegal I think he does it for fun and he doesn't hurt anyone. I want to pretend to do a cabin address but I'm scared Dad will shout at me again. He's just come up and brought me a ham sandwich for tea. I think him and Hayley are having pizza later but I don't want eat with them. Dad told me I have to promise not to tell anyone else that I want Martin to be my significant other. I promised but I still don't understand. I still want to ring Mum.
Lots of love, Arthur.
