Chapter 8
I only have 4 more chapters after this. I tried to make it funny. But im not sure. I doesn't come naturally and im not much of a comedian. Please tell me if you want me to change things. Thanks for reading. Xx
Top of the hill!
I MADE IT! Victory is mine! I have managed to get to the top of the hill without getting out of breath. But my legs have gone funny now and I feel slightly dizzy. Jas had already left. She decided to do extra rehearsal with hunky. Im not sure what scene though.
5 minutes later
This time when I walked into the playground I checked for ice first. This made me look a little bit strange as I was standing at the gate and peering out into the sea of people for any signs of ice. Some people stared at me funny but I just peered at them and then they turned away. Hahahaha. The one who laughs last laughs….last?

Safely in the playground. By a bush. With the gang. They are talking about snogging. But I will not say a thing (mainly because I have had my fair share of it these past few days.). I was too busy looking out for Dave anyway. I can find him, or any of the other lads for that matter. Maybe they are rehearsing too? Or hiding, or skipping school or they died.
No not the last one.
That is just silly.
How would they die?
NO! Go away evil thoughts of darkness…be gone!
"Do you agree that robin has to wear tights?"
What? I must have missed something….
"Gee? Are you listening? Tights or not?"
"Umm well… I guess so. Or just green trousers."
"Well I think that Danny has to wear tights. To make him look realistic."
"Yer if you call realistic looking like a dancer from Barbie and the nutcracker!" shouted Rosie.
Jools replied with "Barbie is pink you twat! We are talking about robin hood!"
"Yes but they both wear tights!"
"Ha-ha! You agreed with me! I win."
"No you don't. I didn't mean it like that."
"You did."
"Not."
"Did."
"not!"
5 minutes later
By this time I was ready to smack their heads together, but it would cause a mess so I decided not to. Why they were arguing about tights I don't know. And I probably never will.
1 minute later
Now I know why they were arguing about tights.
We went into the hall to find a lot of people crowded around Danny and Dave. I froze for a moment.
Were they arguing?
had Danny told Dave?
But as I got closer I saw that Danny and Dave were wearing bright green tights. It was quite alarming. You could see the bulgy bits. Jas had gone bright red and most of the girls were taking photos on their phones. I found it hilarious and burst into laughter.
"Take a good look ladies-this is the closest you will get to seeing jack the biscuit dressed as a girl."
I looked up at Dave to see he had a pink wig on and what looked like mascara. Wow. he looked quite feminine. But you could tell he was a guy because he has a sort of masculine face. Not scary and rigid but boyish. Well he is a boy so it should be like that.
Stop wittering Georgia! Great now im talking to myself! Hahahaha. And laughing at my own jokes. Oh it can only get worse.
And it did.
I was about to talk to Dave when he saw me and quickly walked away.
O dear…
Running after Dave
I really should have worn my over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder, or a sports bra, because eventually I will cause myself some serious harm. They are a danger to my health.
I eventually caught up with Dave because we had reached a dead end (unless he wanted to hide in the girls loos.) so he turned to face me.
"What are you doing gee?"
"Umm…well I followed you?" actually I wasn't all that sure why I had followed him….
"Danny told me about you and him on Sunday."
Damn.
Now I know why I followed him…
"Dave it's not how it seems…and anyway, you're the one who didn't tell me that you two are practically best mates! We have talked about everything! But you can't even tell me about your friends."
"I don't have to tell you everything. We are only friends."
"Only friends! We snog for goodness sakes! And all you can say is that we are 'friends'".
"Well yer."
"I just can't believe you Dave!" I was starting to feel like blubbing. I just wanted to tell him how I felt. But I couldn't.
"Cant believe me?" he said it in surprise. "You're the one who changes her pick of boys like a pair of PANTS!"
1 minute later
I stood staring at him in surprise. I think he knew that what he said was odd and slightly out of context, but after a moment he started ranting again.
"I bet you were using Danny. Just like you used me."
"Oh don't start that again."
"It will never be forgotten gee. You were so cruel to me. And I don't want you doing that to my friends."
Oh great, back to square one with how I am a complete tyrant. Well stop being pathetic Dave! It's in that past and its over. (Anyway-I love you now and im not chasing pathetic marsupial snogging lead singers.)
"Why would I do that Dave? Im not cruel!"
By now the whole year group had come over to see what the commotion was about. Danny was standing on the edge of the crowd. Rosie looked surprisingly happy to see us arguing, it was probably the most excitement she had had all day- apart from picking out beard material.
10 minutes later
Slim waddled over to us and started to rant on about behavior and kanoodling. (sounds like a French soup to me.) But everyone ignored her and walked back to the hall to rehearse.
Rehearsing
Me and Dave ignored each other for the rest of the day. But I could feel him watching me. (No his eyes were not touching me in that way. but when I turned around every one in a while I saw him quickly turn around.
jools looked eager to know what was going on." so gee."
"Yes jools."
"What has happened with you and Dave? Again…"
"Hey it's not like that. We get along most of the time. When he isn't being a prize poo."
Rosie looked up. "A prize poo? What's that-an award for someone with the smelliest-."
"NO ROSIE! DON'T…SAY IT!"
Jas had put her hand over Rosie's mouth so Rosie was licking her hand. She quickly moved it away and sprayed some anti bacterial stuff on it. (Where she got it I don't know. from her hugely oversized panties? actually don't think about that.)
After lunch
Because it's Christmas soon, the school has bought a Christmas tree. I think this is pointless because we go away fro Christmas and when we come back all the leaves have fallen off and we find that some owl has found its way in and has had a billion babies that are pooing everywhere and fly over our heads in assemblies. Then Elvis gets out his shot gun and breaks some windows and bursts some light but never actually kills any. So jas gets her fringe in a state about the birds' rights and feelings.
That is why I believe Christmas trees are pointless.
1 hour later
The gang has promised to help me decorate my Christmas tree after we have decorated the school one. It will be funny to see Elvis try and reach the top and fall of his ladder. Rosie is throwing glitter at the tree. But she sneezed and got it all over her face and up her nose. We are all falling about like loons. Then Dave comes over to get some tinsel, but he picked up the bit that I wanted. So we had a tug of war over which it belonged to. I stood on his foot and while he was hopping in pain, I walked away with the tinsel he still had hold of it so I ended up dragging him across the floor on his bum. The rest of the boys were laughing as he struggled to stand up and grab the tinsel, but I was having loads of fun.
10 minutes later
Eventually he let go. But had a grumpy look on his face. I didn't mind because I had fun. And because he had been on the floor he had loads of glitter on his bum, and so when he stood up all the boys fell about in hysterics. He turned around to try and see, but he slipped on a spare bit of tinsel and fell over again. Eventually he got up and sat on the stage just watching. I think it was to reduce any more chances of humiliation.
25 minutes later
Tada! The tree is decorated with baubles and tinsel and glitter and thanks to Rosie, there is a small tissue beard at the base of the tree.
"It adds effects."
Yes. If you want your trees to look like a slash between an oversized fairy and a Viking.
Miss Wilson let us go home eventually. After reminding us of the last few rehearsals before the show. I was starting to get nervous. What if I forgot my lines and ended up doing a rendition of 'the hills are alive with the sound of pants!' That wouldn't be good.
All through decorating the tree, Danny kept looking at me. He smiled but I just turned away. It's his entire fault that the love of my life hates me. Well. I did steel his tinsel and got glitter on his bum. But I blame it on Danny. To make me feel better.
Walking home
Walking back to my house with the gang. Because we are in such a Christmassy mood, we have decided to use our talents of amazingnosity-and decorate my tree. Its very nippy noo noos, so we are huddled together and linked up. Because we are cold, we are waddling so we look like penguins. It is quite a hilarinosity trying to turn corners. All the Christmas lights are on and its looks beautiful. We are singing carols as well.
It really does feel like Christmas.
Eventually we got through my front door. it took a lot of team work, and Rosie kept shoving people, so that made it harder. Now we are drinking hot choccies in my kitchen. The mad loons that are apparently related to me have left the house for the evening and have gone to granddads. (Where the even more criminally insane live.)
10 minutes later
Jools and Ellen found the tinsel while Rosie hunted for baubles. Jas was putting Christmas cards up everywhere and mabs and me moved the tree into a suitable location. Then when we hade everything sorted, we started to decorate the tree. While jas was putting on tinsel, she said "you could have told us about you and Danny gee. We wouldn't have minded."
I was shocked! Jas didn't say anything harsh. Christmas has come early!
But she hadn't finished. "We are your friends gee. So we could have given you advice on what to do. But I guess it's over now so it doesn't matter."
Then Rosie said "so does that mean you don't like Dave any more. Or are you just juggling the two?"
Juggling?
Who said anything about juggling? I don't live in a circus. (Well some of the time...)
But I could see what Rosie meant.
"No Rosie, I am not juggling anyone. I am mealy having Christmas romance problems."
"But you kissed Danny! Everyone knows."
Ellen tried to listen in, and she was holding the Christmas lights up for jools. When she dropped them jools was still holding on and fell off the stool.
"OW! Ellen! Please concentrate. You made me risk my life! All for the sake of Georgia's bloody tree!"
"Umm, yer, umm sorry jools. Woops."
The rest of us looked at her and burst out laughing. This had to be the funniest thing to happen all day. Ellen and jools laughed too. Eventually we finished decorating the tree. I was going to put the star on top, but as I was about to, Angus noticed the star was shining and decided to leap for my hand. I leapt off the stool and ran round the house trying not to let him get it. He would destroy it if he wanted to. The gang were chasing after us trying to catch him. Eventually jas found a broom and gently pushed him outside.
We locked the door just to make sure he didn't get back in. (yes he can flick the handle down to get out the house.)
"Well after that fandango, I think we should eat!"
"My gosh Rosie! Do you ever stop eating?" I said trying not to laugh. She still had her
'New' beard on and when she talked, it shook around like a mad ferret.
"Yes Georgia I am always hungry. I am a Viking! AAAHHH!"
Then out of nowhere, the jingle bells tune came on and we did our audition dance! it was the most stupendously amazing dance on the planet, and then we did the Viking disco inferno! What an evening. After all the dancing, we sat and watched a film. But we were to excited about Christmas to concentrate. So instead we talked about the secret Santa presents. They asked me what I had got the person (I guessed it was their fault that I had got Dave.) so I said it was a surprise.
"Will they like it?" said jools.
"Yes I think they will."
Jas got really impatient." please tell us what you have got them! Pleeeeeease!"
"Let me tell you this..."
They sat staring at me like owls. Blinkey owls. With flickey fringes and a stutter. Quite alarming really.
"I got them a…..present."
The looks of excitement faded so they were no longer owls.
"Gee you are annoying. We know who you got. And we want to know what you got him." said Rosie.
"I know you know that I got Dave. But luckily you don't know what I know (but you wish you knew) about what I got that person." (See im clever. and I won't tell them!"
2 hours later
After a lot of 20 questions. (More like 1000) they had to go. My house was sparkly and Christmassy. And I was tired. So as soon as they left I went to bed.
In bed
I hope Dave likes his present. If he doesn't I don't know what I will do. Probably cry.
Im to tires to worry about that know thouzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Finally! I still have 4 more chapters to go. Im sorry this took so long. My friend Georgia is leaving for Thailand. So I have been really upset and couldn't stop crying. This chapter (and the final one) is dedicated to her. I LOVE YOU GEE! so now its xmas holidays and I can start to write more often (I think) I am determined to finish before Christmas eve. So better get started.
Thank you for your reviews again. They are awesome and keep me going.
6 days now! Xx
