Diary pg-no.2 : Yesterday

Dear Diary,

Earlier on today I saw William talking to Lilly. That could have meant only one thing (and not that he need's to find a revising partner) which is that he likes her. Personally I think he's too frigid too even ask her out and even if he did, she would say no. He's a nice, intelligent boy but let's be realistic - so are the rest of us. William's always been quite shy and even though I know him for quite a long time , I feel like I don't. He's weird. That's a way to put it. He doesn't open himself up to anyone about anything. Thinking about it, I might just know Lilly better than William and it's only been a few days.

Lilly's alright I suppose. She's hanging out with me and Cissy at lunchtimes for some company ; from what we've been talking about I've changed my mind about her. For example, yesterday while I was eating my healthy (only 213 calories) pasta salad , with fresh spinach and chopped pine nuts, Lilly ,out of nowhere , had the nerve and audacity to ask Cissy if she would have Bennett's children! Although it was surprising that Cissy did take it well-she only told Lilly to fuck off.

But what shocked me even more was what Lilly said to Cissy once she dramatically pointed out that she "was fat" .Cissy always makes a big fuss out of small things and it's mainly because she's an attention seeker. She's gets it from Bennett. Definitely.  Who cares about Cissy when Lilly does something like that! She's only been here for roughly a week ; yet she's shouting at Cissy to not over react about being fat. Lunch just got a bit more interesting.

 The reason I only hang out in the common room at lunch is I know Bennett and the rest of the boys don't. They usually go out for some chips and because Cissy's on a ( personally i think is dangerous) atkins diet she doesn't go. So we get to gossip once every now and again : boys, exams, rumours etc..
 Gives me a chance to actually talk to her instead of seeing her in the corridor throwing herself at Bennett's feet- I do feel sorry for her.

Diary pg-no.1 :Finding the New Girl

Dear Diary,

I can't believe every person relies on me take responsibility of someone else. Whoever that Lilly girl is better stay where she is so that i can find her. Shouldn't a teacher be showing her around instead of me, I mean, they have more knowledge of what happens in this dump. School is such a drag and it's an even longer drag when your being relied on! But I know I'm responsible , i'm aware of it, but it doesn't mean that people should use it for their own purpose. Can't Macfarlane find Lilly herself.

I bet you she's a nerd , she lives in Cambridge for god's sake! Oh and we got some random letter stating her father was working in Cambridge university. But there's nothing about her mother; she might have passed away or her parents are divorced. I don't really know a lot of people whos parents are divorced (it would be a first) but it would be interesting to know someone who does. I wonder what it's like. And apparently i have to be 'especially nice to her'. Who the hell is she?
 ...
I'm supposed to meet her in the common room but she's not even there. I am hungry you know. I haven't even had lunch yet and I'm only going to have time once I've found her. That girl better have some good excuse because so far I've gone up 2 flights of stairs in the library just to find her. She's probably already realised how much of a trash this place is and ran back to Cambridge to her dad and the rest of the snobs there.

Even though I'm pissed, and who wouldn't be, i'll try to approach her as well as I can so that she sees I'm a cool person. I'm convinced that any of the boys who are desperate enough will hit on her , attractive or not. There aren't anymore rumours to be spread around anymore unless it's something about Cissy's 'relationship' with the i'm-too-cool-for-you Bennett. He's starting to get on my nerves and I don't think I'm the only one. He's being a real dick to Chadwick (in a way I do feel sorry for him however weird he may be). I'm getting the feeling he wants his relationship with Cissy to go a bit further than she has in mind ; I hope she respects herself well to know that enough is enough. I'm serious about her braking up with him but I'm also scared he might harm her. He has the potential to and he could use Cissy's words against her to have an excuse to. She needs to do something. I'm just imagining what he would do to her if she wanted to brake up with him: hurt her , blackmail her, threaten her, RAPE her. God, please do something.

You see I'm the type of person who cares for other peoples businesses , even though it's not my concern. But at least it comes with a little gossip! Anyway I should be getting on with finding..Lilly.

Who is Tanya Gleason?

Questions- Tanya Gleason

1)Who am I?
2)Where am I?
3)What time is it?
4)What surrounds me?
5)What's my relationship?
6)What are the given circumstances?
7)What do I want?
8)What is in the way of me getting what I want?
9)How do I get it?

1) My name is Tanya Gleason and I am studying in a grammar school in Stockport in Manchester. I am 16 year old.With all the others, I am very intelligent however at times I can be random. I act maturely towards my work and knowledge ; people trust me with responsibilities. I feel that I am sometimes the only normal one in the group and I behave like your average stereotypical teenager.

2)I live in England, in Manchester,Stockport. I am currently in the common room which is upstairs from the library. The common room is the main place where I come on a regular bases to meet up with Bennett's girlfriend Cissy and 'the new girl' Lilly.

3) It's just coming to the end of October, 2009 and the sky outside is slowly getting darker like a normal autumn afternoon.

4) Surrounding me, are several circular wooden tables jotted around the room, along with reupholstered velvet chairs. The centeral part of the room has a long coffee table with a plate of a selection of classic biscuits. The walls are covered with beige wallpaper and some are a bit tatty on the corners where the wall can be seen. All the windows are slightly old stone-framed, apart from the others that are arched with long red victorian curtains , which suit the brown all-carpet floor. The only things displayed on the walls were a class photo of our 2009 six-form ; a bland abstract painting by an unknown artist and a group of career advice posters pinned together. The room looked simple with not much decoration to make it less boring.Some students decided to put a half-dead indoor plant into the corner of the spacious room to make it seem more appealing to the eye. I don't see anyone watering it while I'm up here.

5) I'm close with Cissy and Lilly and i guess I hang out with them because I don't fit in anywhere else. Apart from those two girls, I don't really talk to anyone else unless we're hanging out with Bennett , William and the other boys. If i'm to be honest I think that Bennett's starting to be a bit of a bully towards people like Chadwick. But I suppose it's due to his wanting to be controlling, like he is with Cissy. And Cissy can do much better, I don't think she even realises how that idiot is treating her.
 
6) Currently, I'm discussing with Cissy and Lilly what I have in mind for the future. I want children, four to be exact and I'm serious about having them with Anderson. That man is gorgeous. And together we're going to spoil our children rotten; I'll make sure they get anything they want and that they're perfectly educated. I met Cissy when a few days before one of my teaches told me to be responsible for meeting her. I guess lots of people trust me.

7)As a short term goal in my scene I want to have a chat with Cissy and Lilly, but probably Cissy more just because I know her better. I mean Lilly's nice and she's starting to be more open with us. As well as that my main purpose is to be in the common room to have lunch like I normally would.
8)There's nothing stopping me from eating except the conversation i'm having between Cissy and Lilly. It's good to have that sort of a chat where we all can talk to each other freely and have a little laugh, rather then when we have nothing to talk about. I'm just more interesting to talking with the girls than having lunch right now , when I know i'll just have time a bit later to do it.
9) I begin to eat my food when Lilly asks a question to Cissy, which I don't know about that well. So it gives me a chance to have a snack and not go hungry for my next lesson. Although I am still listening; I am aware of what they're talking about. I don't have that much to say about what they're discussing.
