Once I got outside Raj’s, I looked in my bag for my mobile. Stupid tears kept getting in the way. Couldn’t see it. Darn it. It was still in my rucksack at home. I had to get hold of Nesta. I had to get her tomorrow morning to catch the post before Tony got to it and saw my card. Oh hell, I wish I’d never sent it, I thought as I raced home with tears stinging my eyes. I will never commit anything like that to paper again. I am an idiot, idiot, idiot. Total embarrassment on top of my heart being torn apart would be more than I could take. This is why people play it cool. You choose someone wholeheartedly and then your heart gets ripped to shreds.

I opened the door and legged it through the hall. Mum Dad, Steve and Lal were eating.

‘Lucy,’ Mum called.

‘Later,’ I shouted as I grabbed my rucksack, headed up the stairs, pulled out my phone and rang Nesta. Argh! Her mobile was off. I tried the landline. She wasn’t at home either. I left a message on Nesta’s voicemail. Then I texted her. Then I emailed. I can’t breathe, I thought as I lay on the bed and groaned as panic rose from my stomach into my chest. It’s all been in my head, my stupid head, I thought. He doesn’t care about me at all. Never has. It really has all just been a game to him. He’s never been into me the way I’m into him. I really thought we had something special and if he gets that card I am going to be exposed for the naive idiot that I am.

Hah! Only hours ago I had been saying it was the best day ever, school was out. Now it was the worst day ever and it wasn’t even over yet.
