Mr. Hover slammed his desk in frustration, The class carried on chatting away, I stood nervously waiting for them to shut up, I clasped the paper that Archie had helped me to write last night, My hands began to get clammy, my heart was hammering along. I just hoped the class liked this, so yes I am popular now, but if this goes wrong everyone may just not accept me and throw me out of their gang!Eventually the class began to fall silent, apart from the few natters and whispers.
"Thank you." Mr. Hover began, "Today, Jade will be preforming her speech about herself so we can all get to know her. But before we begin I would like to say that it will be a teacher training day on Friday so you'll have a day off school, The head teacher also says that if the snow continues like this we may finish school for Christmas early-" He stopped as the whole class began cheering loudly. Looks like I'll be at home for my birthday!
"SILENCE!" He yelled, I swear I went deaf for a few minutes. "Now, enough of that! I'll pass you onto Jade." He said as he sat at his desk. The class attention was placed on me. I quickly put the paper in my pocket and tried to remember it.
"Erm..Hello..." I began searching me head for what was next, "My name as you all know is Jade. I was brought up in a...er...house located in Hailbury, erm...I have a younger sister called Cherry, and a baby brother. Uh... I will be fifteen on Friday and I live in a mansion erm erm... with Archie...uhh" Oh hell it wasn't coming out well, most of it was umm's and err's I tried to remember the rest but Mr. Hover came over.
"Erm, well thanks Jade... that was very.. nice!" He said patting my shoulder. His breath flew to my nose and I breathed it in. Ewww, It smelled like a harbour in there! I gagged.
"Er..." I began through coughs of disgust "Sir, I think its the end of form time!" I madly rushed away and picked up my school bag. The rest of the class copied they all made a rush for the door to get away from his fishy breath.
"Class!! Get back I haven't dismiss-- arghhh!" as I sprinted out I turned my head to see him wiggling his three caterpillars (Eyebrows and moustache) He sunk to the floor, Boy was I glad to escape.

"Ahahaha, what ahahah the hell?" Colette laughed as I told her about form this morning. It was the end of Lunch and I had Art next, Colette and I managed to escape from the rest of the gang, so we could talk more privately.
"So, whats your latest news you wanted to talk about?" I asked Turning to her while we waited for the teacher to let us into class.
"Well, I think you're the only one I can tell this." She said quietly. "Promise you won't tell the others, I've only told Alesha, Lisa, Mel and Samster." She said. To her that was a few, to me that was a lot.
"Promise." I said crossing my heart. She smiled with relief.
"Okay, Me and Lee, we finally did it!" She said excitedly. she clasped her hands. I pulled an amazed face.
"Wow..... erm... what did you do?" I asked confused as I allowed my amazed face to fade away.
"Y'know when you're totally in love..." She said through gasps. A string in my head bounced. I knew at once what she had done.
"Hell, no kidding?" I asked, when I use to hang with Kiki, Freya and Lily as far as anyone would go would be a kiss, let alone this. But I guess when you're popular you get up to this kind of thing. Even if you only are fifteen.
"Totes!" She exclaimed as the teacher opened the door, and the class walked in.
"Oh my honking hell, anyway we should shush, the teacher might hear." I laughed as we took a seat at the back of the class next too some of the other popular kids. My life had changed so much. I had totally upped my game.
"Yeah." She said opening her sketch book. The teacher informed us about the Mona Lisa, and that we must make a portrait of our neighbour, in the style of the Mona Lisa. Once the class was equipped, everyone began to chat.
"So, now you know about my love life, what about your's have you got a crush?" She asked as she began to draw the outline of my face.
"No!" I lied blushing as I thoughts about my soul-mate-to-be. I drew a small eye that looked nothing like Colette's eye. Oops.
"Liar, You have so! Who is it? I won't tell anyone just say pleaseee!" She begged as she put her work aside and cupped her ear for me th whisper
" Erm.. Its Archie." I whispered hoping she didn't hear I felt myself flushing. and my heart beating, as I drew the other eye, I gazed down at my drawing and my hair fell over my face.
"Hell! Archie, he's a blooming sex-bomb, a great guy," She nodded as she scribbled down a eyebrow. "Look up, I need to see your eyes." She said.
"Archie...mmm.... he's hotter then the sun." I said as I looked up, Hoping she wouldn't see the remains from when I blushed.
"Jee, Your eyes are amazing, they are blue! beautiful, I love blue!" She said as she began to draw my eyes, quite a good match actually. I felt ashamed as I looked at my drawing, with a massive eye, next to a tiny eye.
"Thanks, Archie said that once." I said dreamily as an Image of Archie scanned about my brain. I played back all of my love scenes so far.

"Have you seen my phone?!" Archie called as I came through to get my clean washed Pj's that evening.
"Erm, no?" I lied quickly as I grabbed the pyjama top and rushed to my bedroom, I better send that text soon, befor he finds out I have his phone!
"Oh, If you see it, tell me." he said. as He walked off. Phew, I pulled my top off and slipped on the Pj's I checked the bedroom door was shut, then I produced his phone from my trouser pocket, I forgot I had that in there all day!
I slid into bed and put the bedside table lamp on. I switched his phone on and swept through his contacts. Apparently he has 2,785 contacts and counting, Hell where has he been? Finally I found Olivia, I pressed the 'new message' button.
Hey babe, come over now need 2 tlk bout relationship
I finished writing it, I decided I should send it on my birthday, which is in two days, I saved the messages to draft then I slipped the phone in my trouser pocket. The countdown begins, Soon Archie will be mine. I smiled and turned the light off ready for the day ahead, I had to ruin the relation ship he had woth Olivia, the beginning of my plan awaited...
