I walked alone most of the way through town watching on as mum and this so called guy mark were holding each other's hands and pecking each other on the cheek. It was disgusting really! But I could just about handle it, if it made mum happy. We enter a massive shop filled with tones of brightly coloured school uniforms, gloves, socks and even shoes. This place sold everything. Just by my luck the uniform for my school is a grey dress, white stockings and a pretty frilly cardigan, so not me! "Go and put it on then princess" mum says. Mark is there so I do what I'm told. The changing rooms are tight and makes me feel claustrophobic, but I deal with it and get changed as fast as I can. I walk out slowly and take one look in the mirror before running back inside the changing rooms screaming. This was not me at all. "Come out I'm sure it's not that bad darling" mum is the worst at persuading and mark doesn't even bother. I take it off and neatly fold it into the bag and walk out like nothing happened. "Let's go pay" mark says. "Yeah let's" I say sarcastically.

Dear diary,
Nothing seems to go right, mums got a new "partner" and he is very serious, too serious for my liking and him and my mum are madly in love. It's like I don't exist. I can't believe she kept it a secret from me. And if matters couldn't get any worse my new uniform is so ugly and girly I can't stand to wear it. What am I going to do? I guess I will sort something out.
See you later,
Love clove x
