THIRTY-TWO

I fucking love Mr Yerbury!

I’ve been over to his place a couple of times since he made the offer to use that granny flat.

His editing kit is freaking amazing.

I’ve made so much progress on my project work, I’ll be caught up soon.

He just leaves me to it.

I even play my music through his cool speakers; it sounds incredible.

I managed to give Mum some money today.

She looked at me like I’d stolen it.

I sold some old video games on eBay.

I was hoping to keep them, but I made twenty quid, so I had to do it.

I sold a pack of Yugioh cards to a kid on the lower school, too, that made another fiver.

It’s not much, and I know it’s not enough, but I’m doing what I can.

I’m trying to eat fewer snacks.

My stomach rumbled in class today, but it’s worth it if it keeps the shopping bill down.

Something weird happened tonight though.

Usually, him or Yasmine give me a lift back home, but they said they had visitors tonight, so asked if I could catch the bus.

I was just packing up and switching off the lights when two people came into the living area.

I work in the bedroom, but there’s just a Z-bed in there. I think Mr Yerbury sleeps in there when him and Yasmine have a row.

I didn’t know what was going on, so I peeped round the door.

Fucking hell, Tilly and Jake were snogging on the sofa!

They were giggling, I’m sure they’d been drinking.

Nick and Yasmine must have had some of the sixth formers round to their place.

I’d heard rumours about it, but I’m not in with the in-crowd, so nobody would invite me anyway.

I don’t care, I love having this place to myself.

I didn’t know what to do when they came in, so I waited until they’d gone and then sneaked out.

I like Tilly and Jake, or at least I did until Zach started spreading lies about me.

They aren’t nasty like the others, but they might find the balls to stick up for me every once in a while.

Anyway, I didn’t see anything, I think it was just a snog. It’s not like they haven’t been going out with each other for long enough.

Oh, I forgot to say.

Mr Yerbury says I can have a key for the annexe.

He says he trusts me to come and go and I can’t come to any harm in there.

I could have hugged him when he told me.

It’s like having my own place.

I forget all about my worries when I’m in there.

It’s like my little den, when I was a kid and Mum pulled a blanket over two chairs.

I know mine and Mum’s problems won’t go away, but it helps life feel a bit better when I’m over at Nick and Yasmine’s.
