Flo's Diary

Sat. June 7th 2014

Dear diary,

I spent all day with Lauren at her house yesterday. Just the girls; me, Lauren and Kayla. We bought lots of feel good food such as ice cream, cake, chocolate, crisps. We stayed in Laurens room all day. Her room was massive. Mine was a bit bigger, but it looked smaller due to all of my wardrobes and desks. Her parents had a lot of money though. Her mum was a head teacher at the local junior school and her dad was the CEO of some big company. Like me, she was an only child, but she never seemed to mind. She never went without. Her parents bought her expensive things to go in her room. She had and massive flat screen TV on her wall with the Hi-Tec equipment that came with it, so many DVDs and CDs and a top of the range computer. She had more but they were the things she used most.

'Are you coming to the meal tonight?' Kayla asked both of us.

'Of course!' Lauren said 'I can't let what happened break me.'

'Johnny and I will be there too. I showed him the dress girls'

'And?' Kayla asked

'Did he like it?' Lauren asked

'Let's just say, I only had it on for two minutes.'

'OH MY GOD!' Lauren shouted. 'You two did it, didn't you?' I was never good at lying.

'What? No, I had to- needed to'. They gave me an unconvinced look. 'Fine! Yes'

'What was it like?' Kayla asked.

'It was okay, the first time.' They looked at me strangely.

'Thursday wasn't your first time?' Lauren asked

'No. our first time was the day when the police came round about Eva. Thursday was great, until my dad walked in'

'No way!' Lauren said. I nodded.

'I haven't actually spoken to Johnny properly since. I really miss him. He knows I'm here today, I told him'

'Absence makes the heart grow fonder my dear.' Lauren said. Then, Lauren's phone starts ringing. She ran out of her room and answered it.

'Who do you reckon it is?' I asked.

'I don't know. Let's listen at the door'. We ran up to the door and gently place our heads against it. We could make out certain words.

'I heard Johnny's name being mentioned Flo'

'It could be him, I think it's Jack though' we heard her say goodbye to the mysterious caller and ran back to our seats before she came in.

'Who was that?' Kayla asked.

'No-one. It's a surprise' Lauren said.

----------------------------------------------------------------

20 minutes passed and Kayla and I were still trying to get it out of Lauren what the surprise was. All of a sudden, pebbles were being thrown at Lauren's window. Kayla rushed over to see who it was.

'Flo, you might want to see this' Kayla said. I got up and rushed to the window. Outside was Johnny, wearing the blue shirt I bought him and some really nice jeans and he was wearing his favourite vans. I looked round to Lauren.

'Surprise!' I went up and hugged her. 'Go to him' she told me. I practically flew down the stairs, put my shoes on and ran out the door. Then I saw him, I ran to him and gave him the biggest kiss. My friends were still watching us from Laurens bedroom window.

'What are you doing here?' I asked Johnny. 'I thought you were having a boy's day with Jack?

'I was' he started. 'And then I realised that I didn't see you at all yesterday. I missed you. Also, your dad phoned me.'
