Left school limping along next to Jas. I think it’s quite attractive if you like Long John Silver. I said to Jas, “You know, I think I am going to give up on boys altogether– tell Dave the Laugh it’s over, forget the Sex God and just concentrate on lessons and so on. I might ask Herr Kamyer to give me extra tuition.”

“He’d have a spasm to end all spasms if you did.”

I said, “I think I might be over the Sex God anyway. When I saw him pick up Owlie in his car, that did it for me. Anyone who can go out with Wet Lindsay, with her stupid no forehead and sticky insect legs, and…er…”

“Goggly eyes?”

“Yeah, goggly eyes. Anyone who can do that has got something very wrong with them. You know, if he asked me out now I would say n-ung.”

I meant to say “no” but that was when I saw him leaning against his car. The Sex God. Oh don’t tell me he was waiting for gorgeous (not) Wet Lindsay. Pathetic. Très pathetic and très très sad.

I hobbled past him. He wasn’t so very gorgey. Well actually, yes, he was. He was a Sex God. Really. He looked me straight in the eyes and I went completely jelloid. In fact, my other leg nearly gave way. He half-smiled and I remembered what it was like to be attached to his mouth. Somehow I kept hobbling. We’d got past him and I was feeling all shaky when he called after us, “Georgia, can I talk to you for a minute?”

OhmyGodohmyGod. Was this an elastic band moment? Jas was just goosegogging at my side. I said, “You walk on, Jas, I’ll catch you up.”

She said, “Oh it’s OK, I’m not in any hurry. Anyway, you might fall over and lie for ages with no one to help you. Like a tortoise on its back or—”

I opened my eyes really wide at Jas and raised my eyebrows. After about forty years she got it and walked on.

Robbie said, “Look, I know I’m probably the last person you want to talk to, but…well…I’d just like to tell you something…I’m really, really sorry about what happened between us…1 handled it really badly, I know. She, you know, Lindsay, just was like, so upset, and you were so young and I couldn’t…I didn’t know what else to do. I thought I’d be going away soon and that would just sort things out…but then I was at the match…”

God, was there anyone in the universe who hadn’t seen my huge wobbly bottom and enormous conk bobbling around the hockey pitch?

SG was going on in his really sexy voice, “…and I saw how Lindsay deliberately hurt you…and I…I’m sorry. I’ve caused a lot of trouble and you’re a really nice kid…Look, I’ll…”

Then I heard, “Robbie!!”

Wet Lindsay was walking over towards where we were and I just couldn’t handle any more. I hobbled off.
