h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm not sure... We've been doing Prevert poems so far
I do ancient greek...supposedly!!! It is very very fun, but that may just be the tea and cake we have

And I've been meaning to ask you if Will's coping ok, cos I've purposefully left him alone...

God I'd have loved to have done Greek!

He seems ok, but I'm not sure how he really is. I ask, but I don't like to make him talk if he doesn't want to, so I just worry quietly...

Oh dear oh dear - looks like I'll be giving up French now!!!

He's never ever talked about it, and has always covered it up by being, or pretending to be happy, and i'm just worried he may blow some day...

He'll have to, sooner or later, because you just can't keep it all in for ever. And although it'll hurt him and I don't want that, I'd hope that it's sooner rather than later because the longer he carries on like this the more painful it'll be when it does all finally hit him. I just hope I can be there for him in the way that he needs me to be.

Congratulations on your results, by the way!

you will be

Congratulations on yours too!!! I got an A* at my Greek!!!!!!! very much unexpected!!!

Well done!! So how many GCSEs have you got now? 13?14?

errrrr, 12

Well, it's two more than I'll ever have.
So have you started back to school today? I've got until Tuesday to waste time and do nothing and I'm bored. I want to go back!!

No, I go back next Wednesday - that's even worse!!! Not fair!!! I hardly know anyone else who actually *likes* work
Monmouth schools started back today (tee hee hee) but you probably knew that already... Everyone went offline at about 10 yesterday, apparently to sleep.

Yeah, poor them. Although I wouldn't have minded going back with Will today, just for something to do!
I do like work, actually, it saves hanging about doing nothing. That's fine for a while but it gets boring really quickly I find.

Going back...to the boys' school...with Will?

I can't cope if I don't work!!!

Yeah, why not? It'd make a change and I'm dying to meet all his friends...
I know what you mean. I'm feeling the absence of anything proper to do so much that I might even start my personal statement this afternoon... God I must be desperate!!

Nooooo, you don't want to meet his friends !!!

I've nearly finished my personal statement - and it's too long

If only. Mine's about 5 lines long so far!
But I'd love to meet his friends, I've heard so much about them all, Matthew especially...
And apparently they've heard lots about me, too. Just out of interest, what has he told you about me?

Nooooooooo, not Matthew! Pleeeeeease! He's so up himself he'll get lost one day He's an ex-boyfriend...
He's just told me how wonderful you are And that he's in love with you

Aaw, isn't he sweet?

I know what you mean about Matthew... when I fist met him I liked him, he was really friendly, he used to chat to me about Will and reassure me when I was worried about him... then one day he got a bit drunk on red wine at the William Jones Society meeting and told me he thought I was clingy and paranoid and he was sick of listening to me overreacting. Which was what he'd thought all along, the two-faced so-and-so.
Oh, and then he told me that Will was two-timing me with you, which I simply gave no credit to at all. I have no idea what he was trying to do by saying that. And then there's the way he's treated my best friend, but that's a whole other story.
We didn't speak for months, but we're talking again now for Will's sake - it can't be much fun for him to have to listen to us bitching about each other. I just try to remember when I'm talking to him that he's not necessarily saying what he really thinks.

And don't believe anyone who tells you I'm wonderful. I'm really not.

Well, Will said you're wonderful, and that's enough to make me believe it. And I really wouldn't worry about anything Matthew says. He spends his life twisting what everyone else says into something completely different. We split up because he managed to talk himself into believing I'd cheated on him with Will, which was completely untrue. What precipitated him telling you that Will was two-timing was that I told Matt I was having a really bad time trying to get over Will, which was true then, and still is, but I have nothing to hold against you, or Will, so don't worry about that!!! What I don't understand is why Will spends half his life being jealous of Matt - he's blatantly the nicer one If I were you I'd tell Matt *nothing* unless you want it to be twisted and repeated to everyone he knows! I have *so* much experience of that!

Finally, someone agrees with me about Matthew!!! (Although I'm supposed to have stopped being nasty about him...) And I know exactly what you mean about Will being jealous of him - it's pointless. Will was afraid to introduce me to Matt in case I decided I liked him better and went out with him instead. Like I ever would!!!
I don't really talk to Matt about anything important any more, I've learnt my lesson

hey, don't get me wrong, Matt's a friend of mine ...

but I do know his true colours, as it were!

Yeah, I know what you mean.
I'm back to school tomorrow! Thank God!! I'm so sick of playing at being a housewife, babysitting and shopping and cleaning... I'll be glad to get out of this house, even if it is to go back to personal statements and other hellish UCAS items
