Chapter 1

Sherri Rose Michaels

Do you ever have one of those moments? You know, the ones where you feel like the whole world is on your shoulders. And you feel so depressed? Your Mom has kicked you out the house so you have to live in some crummy council flat with a fat man called Bill who has literally the most facial hair you have ever seen. And your so called best friend has been shagging your boyfriend of 2 years for 3 months. And you have the crappest job in the entire world, because your boss always tries to grope you, there are bitchy girls who always judge you like they did back in school, a creepy caretaker called Martin who looks like a spastic chicken and says the exact same thing to me every night "Goodnight Shelly, make sure you get that rash sorted." I don't even know what he is on about? And why does he keep calling me Shelly? And more importantly how does he know about that rash? Its on my cu-

"Sher?" My friend Cheska said "Sherrise Rose Michaels, snap out of it, we are trying to plan my wedding here which is only in 2 months time, I have so much to do, please help me!" She said "Oh Ches, im sorry, I just feel like shit that's all, me and Bill got wasted last night" I croaked out "You mean that hairy fat guy? Why are you hanging out with him? Please tell me he is not your plus 1?"  She said "Oh god no! We just have to live together, since my slag of my mother kicked me out so she has more room for her alcohol and men. And anyway, he isn't that bad once you get to know him." "Yeah im sure" She laughed

My phone rang all of a sudden, "Yello?" I spoke into the phone "Sherri? Its me Olly, can you come over its urgent?" "Urm well, its kind of a bad time, im just helping Cheska wedding planning." I said "Please?" He did sound desperate "Okay, i'll be there in 20? "Okay." I hung up. "Chesk? I gotta go, come round tomorrow night and we'll do it properly, get a takeaway and wine, yeah lots of wine okay?" "Yeah, as long as you kick Bill out that guy just creeps the shit out of me." "Will do, see ya"

I stepped outside and climbed into my car, Get Like Me came on the radio, I blasted it up. I pulled of the driveway and made my way down the hill to Olly's, he lives 2 minutes away. I finally pulled up to Olly's house and stepped outside. I knocked on the door and Olly's girlfriend came to the door, I just love Sian shes like the sister I never had. She is just great for Olly. "HEY!" She screamed "HEY!" I screamed back, "Is Olly here?" "Yeah, he's through there" She said. "Thanks"

"Hey Olly, whats wrong?" I asked "Its not what's wrong with me. Its just something you need to know." I was confused, what is this bitch not telling me? "Go on..." I said "Weeeel, the other day I ran into Karla and Ben, I had to pretend to be nice, I really wanted to beat the crap out of those herpes ridden whores, but I kept my cool." Okay..."So what happened?" I asked "They are engaged!" He blurted out. I was angry and upset, mainly angry. I needed to get my frustration out. I ran out the house and got in my car. I could hear Olly calling after me but I ignored him. I drove away and drove as fast as I could to Ben's house, I think he still lives with his mother. Sad, pathetic... WANKER!

I pulled up outside his house. I got out and slammed the door as hard as I could. I practically knocked the door down. "Alright, jeez calm do- SHERRI!?" Ben exclaimed "Surprised asshole? You little cunt, you couldn't wait to rub it in my face. Shag my supposedly best mate for months then get engaged. WELL FUCK YOU!" And with that, I punched him in the face.
