Neighbours

This week started out with Donna Freedman showing up at school in this really eye-catching outfit!  She was wearing a big red scalf around her neck with the school uniform, which screamed "look at me!"  I'm not sure if Ringo and Rachel just feel sorry for her, but they seem to have taken her under their wing!  I haven’t got to know her much myself, but if Rachel and Ringo like her, then I'm going to have to get to know her sooner or later. 

That evil witch Mrs Carr caught Dec and I kissing in school and decided to make a big thing out of it.  She put us all on detention that afternoon, and said there was a new school policy on Public Displays of Affection, otherwise known as PDAs.  It’s crazy, we can’t show any affection whatsoever while wearing our school uniforms.  So Dec and I started pashing in protest, and everyone stood around us chanting, "PDAs".  We were protesting because we were being treated like criminals. They ended up calling Mum and Dad and Rebecca up to the school.  It’s so stupid.  We were only kissing! 

Mum and Dad weren’t that happy, Dad's just freaking out because I'm growing up too fast!! Rebecca was so cool though, we had a chat in the gym changerooms.  I always thought Rebecca was cool, but now I know.  I guess she's just a bit more open-minded about teenage love than Mum and Dad are.  She was really supportive, she's also happy that I’m with Declan.  Rebecca told me how young she was when she had Oliver - she was only 16!  I didn't actually know that.  She said that although she has two beautiful boys there is so much that she regrets about her life!  I don't want to live with regrets, I know what that feels like and it's such a horrible, suppressing feeling.  And that's what happens when you rush into things, you end up in a situation you weren't prepared for!  I know, that's what happened with Chris Knight. 

Rebecca is cool, her advice was really sound.  She said I should be around for Declan, but on my terms.  She said she is going to stand by me and make sure I do that, cause she never did.  Respect!   It was nice to be talked to as an adult for a change!     

But…. trying to slow things down with Declan was another story.  He really didn’t take it well, but I assured him there was nothing to worry about.  He was getting a bit angry and frustrated, poor Dec.  I guess it was weird for him seeing me so full on one minute and then back off the next.  I mean last week I was ready to fight to keep things at the pace they were going, and then this week with the talk I had with Rebecca I just backed off.  He's a bit annoyed by it all, but in the long run it will be better because we made good choices because we took our time. 

I could’ve killed Zeke when he walked in on me in the girl’s change rooms. What was he thinking? I mean it’s where chicks have showers, get dressed, what was he expecting to find in there?  A bunch of fully-clad females prancing around….. I just screamed at him to get out. The moron just stood there, looking at me.  He was so embarrassed, I was so embarrassed.  He saw me naked!  

He was so scared of Declan finding out, it was quite funny actually, he thought Declan would kill him if he knew he’d seen me naked.  So I told him I wouldn’t say anything.  But then my conscience got the better of me, especially because Declan was getting so angry and weird about the pace of our relationship changing.  I just couldn't keep a secret from him.  So I told Zeke I had to say something.  Zeke flipped out and Declan walked in on our conversation.  So he found out anyway. 

Then it was payback time.  Declan made Zeke come out in front of all of us at school with just his towel on, and then Declan ripped the towel off of him.  Poor Zeke, he was so shocked, and embarrassed.  But it was funny seeing him standing there naked.  Fitzy walked in on the scene, and was pretty mad, he grabbed two schoolbags and covered Zeke from the front and back and walked him to his office.  We were all in hysterics.  Zeke and I are even now.  Poor Zeke, I think his payback was slightly more embarrassing than what happened to me, but only slightly!  I took some photos, can’t wait to get them developed.  I don’t think I’ll be able to publish them up here, they’ll be a bit too graphic for public display! 

Oh yeah, I saw Donna do something really odd at Rachel and Zeke’s place this afternoon.  She picked up a letter, which was obviously addressed to Rachel, and put it in her bag.  Why would she do that?  I’m not so sure about her now.  I’m going to have to confront her about it.  You don’t steal your friend’s things!
