‘Billy Bramble, settle down and focus,’ she will say in her trying to be patient but had enough voice.

Focusing is hard when you’ve got Gobber the dog sat at your feet ruining your life.

Gobber might also be the reason I never win anything.

I never ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER EVER EVER win anything.

I don’t win at cards.

I don’t win snakes and ladders.

I don’t win raffles. (My sister Lucy ALWAYS wins raffles and that makes me SICK.)

I don’t win trophies.

I don’t win quizzes.

I don’t win ‘dress as an idiot from a book’ day.

I have never won ‘Best Student Ever’ or ‘Student of the Century’ or ‘Child of the Decade’ or ‘Most Wonderful Kid in the Universe’.
