27th March:

Darius went to Ghana and I carried on at school. It was the last week before Easter so it was funny. After school I went to Natalie’s house. She was waiting for me in her bedroom.

“How was your last day?” She asked me.

“It was alright I guess.” I replied.

That week was pretty hard without Darius to keep me company at dinnertime but I coped. I hadn’t picked up the knife since Natalie and Darius talked to me. I know I am worth more than I think and that there are people who care for me. Nat has started smiling properly and it’s good to see her happy again. I didn’t realise my happiness had such a big effect on her life.

We started making brownies and put in The O.C box set. We watched until it got to the evening time and then we went upstairs to Nat’s room. We took a load of stupid pictures on webcam and then Natalie started going crazy with her dance moves while we were listening to music. It was so funny. We went on Facebook and uploaded the pictures. Then we listened to music until we fell asleep.

28th March:

The next day, we went to a party. It was so funny. I met Carl again at this party so I didn’t really mind when Nat went off with her friends. Carl was such a joker and he kept on cracking me up. When the afrobeats came, Natalie cleared the dance floor for her to start skanking it out. Me and Carl joined in soon after and we couldn’t stop laughing. It was too much jokes. The food at the party was good as well. I was getting gassed over the jolof rice and chicken. I missed Darius but I was having a great time with Carl. I changed my picture on Facebook to a picture of me and Carl in mid-skank. I went back to Natalie’s house with a big smile.

“Did you have a good time today Ash?” Nat asked as we changed into our pyjamas.

“It was the best! It’s too bad that Darius wasn’t there though.” I replied.

“He’ll be back in a few days. For this week, it’s just you and me.” She told me.

“It’s Natalie and Ashley against the world.” I announced grinning. I climbed into bed as I was exhausted.

“Goodnight babes.” Nat told me before walking out to brush her teeth.

31st March:

Natalie, Adam and I went to the cinema today. We went to watch the Avengers. We’re all marvel freaks so we decided to go and watch it. We met up with our cousin Hannah as well. We were all excited because the Avengers had the best marvel characters in it. It was a great movie and we all came out smiling. It was worth us paying for it.

“Robert Downey Jr. is a joker.” Nat commented as we walked to the bus stop.

“Yeah and so is Chris Evans.” I agreed. We got on the bus and then we all went our separate ways. Natalie, Adam and I walked down to the house and then I walked into the kitchen.

“What do you guys want to eat?” I asked.

“I’ll do the cooking. You always do it Ash.” Nana insisted.

“There’s a reason for that; Ash is better at cooking than you.” Adam cut in.

I grinned at him and he grinned back. Nat screwed at us both and Adam cracked up before walking to his room.

“What are you gonna cook Nat?” I asked.

“Mushroom risotto.” She replied quickly.

I can admit that even though risotto isn’t hard; Natalie makes the best. She got down to cooking and I made small talk. I just couldn’t wait to eat it. When she was finished, she gave me the first helping. It was quite a big helping as well.

“For that comment, I’m not going to call him down.” Nat told me before plating her food. I was gonna leave it but I didn’t want to be evil so I went upstairs to call Adam down for dinner. Natalie plated his food quickly before getting back to hers.

“Why do I have the smallest amount of food?” He asked.

“You don’t want to get a belly do you?” She asked in reply and he was quiet.

Iburst out laughing and Natalie winked at me. We had a good dinner that evening and then we watched Dodgeball afterwards. It was so jokes because Nat, Adam and I find this film hilarious. We were bare cracking at Ben Stiller’s stupid lines and facial expressions. When it finished, we all went to bed. It was a great end to the day.
