Thursday 4^th I’m not so sure Ralph will ask me out tomorrow coz Emma put him off the idea in Food Tech. He said he was considering it and asked what she thought I’d say. She told him that I don’t want to go out with anyone until the World Cup’s over. He just said, “What?” and assumed I didn’t like him. Emma and Lena assured him that I did.

When Emma asked him later if he was going to ask me out, he said, “Not if she doesn’t want me to.” Phew!!! Hopefully there won’t be any awkward situations tomorrow then. I think I’ll still avoid him though, just to be on the safe side.

I saw Ralph after school and he sounded disappointed when I said I wasn’t going to Freddie’s tomorrow night and he was trying to persuade me to go.

Think I’d rather go with [snog] him before I went out with him coz it can get awkward otherwise. The thing is that there aren’t many chances and I’m not asking him or doing owt in school. The best bet’s the cinema really but he’s always skint. I’ll just have to see what happens.

Actually, that’s probably why he was so desperate for me to go to Freddie’s. Oh well, I can’t go now coz I’ve got to go and see Grandma S.
