He doesn’t reply immediately. Perhaps Hazel wants to do something else now. Everyone to the skate park, Hazel’s had a whim! I’m not getting a good feeling about this girl. But she’s Gabe’s new friend and I am going to be nice.

They’ll be in the cafe by the bandstand. Everyone goes there, they give out free cake and there’s always seats. The one near the pond is dingy and dark. I feel shy and annoyed. Why do I have to run around, chasing Gabe’s friends, listening to podcasts and hoping I’m good enough for them?

Also, Lav’s skinny jeans are so tight it’s quite painful to walk and not helping my mood. I daren’t put my phone in my pocket or else it’ll crack into dust. I reach the bandstand cafe and look around for Gabe, nervously smoothing my hair and T-shirt. I look down, realizing I’ve smeared hair oil down Lav’s top. Oops. You can only see it if you squint at it in bright light … which she will when I bring it back.

I order the smallest, cheapest thing I can see – an espresso. I take the teensy weensy cup to a table and stare at it. That’s like two thimblefuls of coffee. Who’s it for, pixies?

The first sip hits me like a smack around the face. I put the cup back on the saucer and push it firmly away from me. So I’m done with that for ever, thank you, bye.

But once I swallow it, weird noises start coming from my stomach. Fine, not my stomach, my BOWELS. Because I am made of sexy and cool. I text Gabe.
