I wonder who will go to The Jones’s gig? I’m only going because Vaisey wants to see Jack so much. And Jo wants us Tree Sisters to give her moral support while she waits for Phil’s phone call. I am a very good pal actually because I have no reason to go. And in fact I would rather not go, I haven’t seen Cain since the nose-licking thing and I don’t want to.

I wonder if any of the Woolfe boys will go? Will Charlie be there?

I was having a lie down on my squirrel bed while my face mask (homemade, egg white and curry powder… well, I thought it might give my skin a bit of a tanned glow, it was quite orange coloured) took hold and worked its magic. I was planning how icy and cool I was going to be if Charlie did turn up. And wanted to “talk”.

Oh, I bet I can guess what he wants to “talk” about, probably how much he really likes his girlfriend and can we just be friends. Yeah, well, friends don’t do snogging and hugging, do they?

I won’t say that though. I will just look at him and nod. Icily. So he doesn’t really know what my nod means. But he will know I am being icy.

In all honesty, after I have punished him with my icy nod, I would quite like to be friends with him. Even after being so upset. It would be nice to have a boy matey mate. Maybe he could help me understand how boys work? He might even be able to help me with Alex.

I went to run a bath and heard the sound of a stone being thrown against my window.

Who was this?

It was Ruby with Matilda. She looked up and said, “Bloody Nora, tha looks like a pillock.”

I said, “Thanks for that, Ruby.”

“Hey, you will nivver guess what, there might be trouble at The Jones’s gig toneet. I can’t wait. All the village girls are saying that you Dother Hall lot are stuck-up Lady Mucks that are stealing their lads.”

What?

She was hopping up and down, she was so excited.

“Yeah, and get this, Beverley is sneaking out to the gig toneet, she’s banned by her mum after her nearly drowning when Cain messed her about before.”

I said, “Ruby, she didn’t nearly drown, she just sat in the river and got her dress wet and then went to bed for a fortnight.”

Ruby tutted. “You’ve got no imagination, you. Come down and see the owlets wi’me.”

I said, “I can’t, the girls are coming round soon to get ready.”

“Good, I’ll come round and get ready as well.”

“Ruby, you aren’t going to the gig.”

“I am.”

“I heard your dad say that you’re too young.”

Ruby kicked a stump.

“If me mam was still here, she would let me go. It’s only because he’s a bloke and he dun’t know owt.”

I’d never asked Ruby about where her mum was and I didn’t want to ask her now with my hair in curlers and the curry powder making my eyes water.
