THE GOSSIP
JOSH BAKERFRIDAY, 19TH SEPTEMBER 200823:28"AN EVEN BIGGER FOOL"I'm so good at making a fool of myself this week. Hopefully it's ended here and won't carry on for the weekend, else I'm pretty much gonna mess up by own birthday party and everyone will laugh at me... forever.
Okay I sound like a girl there. So I'd like to say it wasn't that bad, but it was pretty bad. Here's me, walking down the street back up in Sheffield, totally out in a daydream, and I smash into a girl. She was carrying a box out of her car and I sent her flying, the box she was holding fell out of her arms and smashed everything inside it and everything. I could have died, honestly. So here's me apologising profusely, then look up and find that it's bloody Lilly Jenson. Yep, Lilly Jenson. I have to shut up cos she's looking at me with her big, round blue eyes, her little angelic face lit up by the sun. So then I realise I've been staring at her with my mouth open for the past five seconds. And I know my eyes gave everything away.
I couldn't apologise enough. I tried everything - to pay for everything in the box, even to take her out for coffee but she was all pouty and upset in a really cute kind of way, and told me none of it was good enough. Then she gives me this massive smile and I realise I've been played for an absolute fool. It was a couple of photo frames that I smashed, and I managed to act quite casual and ask her for her number so I could make everything right sometime when she wasn't go busy.
And I got it. For some reason I've been thinking about her a lot over this past week, although she obviously doesn't know who I am, doesn't know I'm Summer's boyfriend, or that she's supposed to be attending my party on Saturday. I'm not sure what to do about her number, I might leave it until tomorrow to see if she turns up.
Yep, tomorrow is the big day. Mum's gonna be busy in the morning trying to set everything out at Cutler's, and I'm gonna make sure I've got a black suit and tie ready. I'm pretty much looking forward to it, feel more relaxed now Summer's not gonna be there. Should be good.
