Nightmare day of rumours and gossip and unrest at school, there must have been someone in the pub on Friday from school. I don’t know who it was, but everyone seemed to know that Imogen and I were there and that Imogen was popular. Suddenly people were talking to her and asking what she had been up to and when she was next going out, they all seemed to forget that her mum had just died, nobody mentioned it. Even I was affected by the popularity of Imogen, all these sad saps started coming over to talk to me as if they had been doing it for years, I couldn’t be arsed with any of them.
