it and make up your own stuff? It would be like if we were in the wilderness camp and it said make your own fire and someone used matches.â
Oh God, I couldnât believe we were back here again, round the sodding campfire. I said, âAnyway, he is fabby beyond the dreams of avarice. I have got all of the Horns combined for him, Particular, General and Cosmic.â
Jas looked very disapproving. âYou said Robbie was your only one and only only one and now itâs Masimo, who you have only seen for two minutes. You will end up a lonely person with a reputation for promiscuosity.â
What is the matter with her? She is the Mother Teresa for a new generation, with a crap fringe. Iwas furious. I said, âYes, but do you know what the good news is, Jas? I wonât end up YOU, Mrs. Slug Eater.â
She got the megahump and we were walking along ignorez-vous ing each other when we came across Dave the Laugh AGAIN. Since he got a girlfriend I have seen him all the time; I wonder if he is stalking me. I was about to say that when he grinned and said, âLook, Georgia, stop following me around, you know I love it.â
Damn!! By this time we had reached Jasâs gate and she went into her drive and said, as a parting shot, âGeorgia thinks Masimo is really cool. She likes him, if you know what I mean.â
I couldnât believe it!! She had ratted on me and cheapened my love by announcing it on Radio Jas. I could feel my ears going red. As we walked on, Dave was looking at me in a looking-at-me way. Which I hate.
âYou just canât resist a lead singer, can you, Georgia? Heâs flash.â
I said, âHeâs not flash, heâs Italian, thatâs what they are like.â
Dave said, âWhen I saw him, he was carrying a handbag.â
âThatâs not a handbag, thatâs aâ¦erâ¦wallet thing.â
âItâs a bag he carries in his hand, known as a handbag.â
I said quickly, not necessarily bothering to involve my brain in the process, âHe keeps his revolver in it.â
Dave looked right into my eyes. He said, âExcuse meâare you officially mad?â
I said, âNo, are YOU mad?â
And he went, âNoâ¦are YOU mad?â
Weâd got to my gate by then and we could have gone on with the âno, are YOU mad?â game forever, but as I started my bit Dave stopped me by tickling me in the ribs. It made me splutter and I got spazoid and he kept doing it. Now I was playing tickly bears with Dave the Laugh. Heâd probably start talking Elfin in a minute. What is the matter with boys? I said to Dave, âWhat in the name of arse is the matter with boys?â
And he looked at me and then just snogged me! How dare he!!! I tried to tell him off but I couldnât speak for the snogging. I donât like to admit this under the circumstances, but he really is a cool snogger and I forgot everything in the puckerosityof the moment. When we stopped for breath he said, âPhwoarâexcellent snogging, Georgia.â
I said, âWhy did you do that? Youâre going out with someone else.â
Dave said, âSo?â
I said, âWell, itâs not right.â
âWhat isnât?â
âYou enticing me and snogging me when youâre going out with someone else.â
âGeorgia, you are repeating yourself, and anyway, there is an explanation.â
Oh here we go, heâll tell me that it is really me he likes and that it is moi he wants but I will have to say, âIâm sorry, Dave, but I am putting you aside with a firm handâI am in love with another.â
I looked at him sympathetically. âWhat is the explanation, Dave?â
âI like snogging you and I have got the General Horn.â
âButâ¦â
âItâs my age. Iâll grow out of it when I am about forty-five.â
âBut Iâ¦â
âDonât you like snogging
