As we stroll into college I can't help but feel butterflies jumping in my tummy making me feel sick and nervous.

I'm paranoid about whether people will talk about me, whisper comments or debate my newly updated relationship status. And sure enough once Han had left me I felt like I was gonna be eaten by the big bad world. As i stepped into history, Mussolini was not on the tip of peoples tongues but i was... at least i felt like i was.

I just wanted to get away from it all, just and hide in the cleaner's closet. But what else could I do, it wasn't my fault why I got dumped.

The day crept by at a snail’s pace. On and on the teacher droned and the clones whispered in unison. I couldn't have wished for lunch to come quicker because that was when the man hunt would begin. I enjoyed hunting whether it was for a new pair of shoes, a bargain, a man or even duck faces and shouting 'BANG' it somehow always cheered me up.

Stepping outside, I could feel the sun dancing on my cheeks and the warm air hit me like i had just got off a plane, I love summer. It’s not like winter where Britain can't decide whether it’s gonna be snowy, frosty, icy, chilly, freezing or just everything. Where as in summer it’s either sunny or rainy and that’s it.

I was suddenly nudged and urged not to block the door but that was just Smithe being rude as always and Babs who were also coming along for the hunt. So as we strolled down to the local shopping centre I couldn't help but notice out of the corner of my eye. My ex, Arny

He was flanked by all his mates each as dumb and dims witted as the next and him in the middle with his jet black hair and muddy brown eyes, tall, dark and handsome but he just didn't know it which made him even more attractive.

The four of us soldiered on to town, as Han had notice the Ex-Boyfriend she gently nudged me in front, turned and gave Arny her middle finger and smiled so elegantly that it couldn't be missed.

Instead of man hunting like the rest I spent my pennies and came home with my arms ladened with shopping, Primark, Topshop and river island stock shares had dramatically increased by a massive amount.

Fortunate for the economy, unfortunate for my bank account.
