We all got to the bowling ally. I couldn't wait I love bowling. We put our shoes on and went to our lane.

"Linda I think that guy has a crush on you", Meg said to me"

I looked over to where the guy was and I agreed it was kinda scary as well. It was my first go and I scored a strike. Meg smiled at me and Zoe just looked at me. I sat back down and it was Zoe's go. Zoe tottally missed all ten pins and it was quite hard to keep a straight face. On Zoe's second attept she hit one. From the corner of my eye I saw Denise, Britney and Joe.

"OI LINDA I KNOCKED DOWN NINE", Denise shouted.

"I GOT THREE STRIKES", I shouted back.

Denise looked jelous so I sat back down. Meg and Zoe were in fits of laughter and it was Meg's turn to bowl. After Meg had calmed down she bowled. Denise came over to watch. Denise, Britney and Joe all sat down.

"Come on lil sis", Denise said.

I bowled the ball and got my fourth strike. I was miles in the lead. Denise, Britney and Joe started clapping for me. They had to go and to my suprise Denise hugged and kissed my on the cheek, she never does that. My eyes began to water.

"You ok, its your turn", Meg said.

I noddded and took my go and got my fifth strike and sat down. Meg sat next to me and I drank a little more of my slush puppy. A family were in the lane next to us.

"Oh my god, Linda how are you", Jessica asked.

"Okish", I replied.

I didn't know what to do my new to best friends were infront of my old best friend so my first thought was to keep talking and it wasn't my best idea.

"So you got a new job", I asked.

"Yeah Im a teacher, your sister Chloe's in my form, I teach maths", Jessica replied.

"Maths", I said back.

Maths seriously I thought, Jessica didn't seem like a mathmatical person, I mean she'd always ask me questions about it.

"Hi Im Meg Im Linda's best friend".

I froze once Meg had said that. Amelia and Lucas just looked at me. I didn't know what to do I just ran to the toilets and looked myself in. Well I had competed all ten goes with seven strikes. I started to cry. Jessica and Meg came in.

"Linda I understand, I have new friends to", Jessica said.

I came out, and Meg hugged me. We all walked out of the toilets to find my mum and dad with Oliver, Michael, Chloe and Freya.

"Ok I get twenty pounds if I beat the amount of strikes you got", Freya said to me

"Good luck I got seven", I replied.

Freya had her first go and scored a strike. Mum and dad just watched them play.

"Theirs a big age gap", Zoe said to me.

"Mum was thirteen when she had Denise and fifteen with me", I replied.

Zoe looked shocked. I was getting worried Freya hadn't missed a pin yet. Chloe had two strikes and the two boys could hardly knock down five. Oliver and Michael just failed at bowling all together. So Freya had six strikes. Chloe is quite good at bowling to. Somehow Freya got eleven strikes, at this moment I hated that girl I gave her twenty pounds.

"Linda darling we are going for dinner here do you want to come", Mum asked me

"Im going for dinner with Zoe and Meg", I replied.

I was now leaving the bowling ally after getting my shoe's back when I had a go at winning a huge piglet and I won. My mum just looked at me.

"Well done", Jessica said to me.

Jessica went into the food part.

"Hello Ms Harrison", Chloe said.

"Hello Chloe", Jessica said back.

"Miss the cheese burgers really nice" Chloe told Jessica.

Jessica laughed and ordered three cheese burgers. I quickly gave Jessica my new number so we could keep in touch. I hugged her then left. I got into Megs car. We went to McDonalds.
