I’m a shit. A total shit. Because I went back inside the Harrow school and begged them to interview me—and they did. And I can’t tell Katy that right now because this, whatever it is, would all be over—and I don’t want it to be.

Being back in my hometown reminded me how much I love it. I knew I could connect with all of my old mates again. Plus, my parents aren’t getting any younger and no matter how much they drive me insane, I would like to be closer to them.

So, I really wanted that job. It’s possible I told the interviewers that I’d had to rush because I’d been assisting Katy who had medical issues and that’s why I looked so hot and harassed and well, they said it showed what type of person I was that I’d abandoned the interview to look after her when she’d had the incontinence problem. They offered me the job on the spot and I accepted.

I. AM. A. TOTAL. SHIT.

I watch Katy now as she’s driving. Her pretty face staring at the road straight ahead, her lips in a pout. She’s not spoken to me for thirty minutes. Instead she put her CD on loud and has subjected me to Taylor Swift for the last half hour, with Shake it Off repeated several times.

'Please talk to me, Catherine.'

'No. And don’t call me that, only your mother calls me that.'

'You just talked to me. Yeeasss, Kitty Kat is talking to me again!'

'God, you are so annoying.' She says.

'Look. I didn’t want to tell you about my mum’s money because I’d decided that if we managed on our budget then we’d have a slap-up meal on the final evening, but then you got all girly emotional and so I thought I’d better fess up. Plus, we were penniless. So, no posh dinner but at least we can get a hotel for the night and even better there’s an offer on the budget hotel, £29 a night.'

'Oh good, and so then we’ll have thirty quid left.' She says.

'Yeah, about that… after tomorrow, we’ve no more interviews until Monday in Skegness, so how about we book two nights in the budget hotel and enjoy the seaside a bit? We’ve still got some food from my mum’s.'

'What are we going to do Saturday? Where are we going to stay?'

I shrug my shoulders, although she doesn’t see it as she’s driving. 'Let’s worry about Saturday on Saturday and just enjoy the next two days. There’s no point us being miserable and what-iffing. We know if it comes to it we’ll have to sleep in the car for a night. After Scarborough, I have a uni friend who lives in Newcastle, so I might give them a call.'

She lets out a huge exhale.

'Okay. You’re right. And I love the seaside. Two days in Scarborough it is. Unless I get a job and then you’re on your own.'

When she says things like that I don’t even want a job.

The other night when she was making herself come and she forgot herself, I saw a whole new side to her.
