  Heading towards my lesson, I couldn't stop my mind racing, thinking about what I'd just agreed to. At least Beth and Joshua would be there on the date to keep the conversation flow; it'd be pretty uncomfortable for me otherwise. I had yet to meet the infamous Joshua, anyway. He and Beth had only been dating for a month and, until now, I'd refused point-blank to meet him.It wasn't out of jealousy or spite or anything – Beth's short-lived relationships usually only lasted anywhere between a week and three months, so I'd just completely given up meeting all of her boyfriends. Sure, she was my best friend, but she went through boys like clean socks (no shame, power to her) and it was hard to keep up with all the names and faces.

I figured it would be better off here where somebody might get a bit of entertainment from it rather than it gathering metaphorical dust on my hard drive.I think a lot of parts of this novel are a little dated, now - my writing style has changed drastically since I was a teen for one thing - but a lot has also changed in the world in the nine years since I wrote it and while I've made some small edits here and there, I've tried to keep it as true to the original as I can, and as true to its time as I can.If you notice the characters don't text a lot, that's because back in 2
