after him to
spite me. She doesn't even like him. She told me so a few weeks
ago. She just wants to prove she can go out with whoever she wants.
I hate the little cow.
    LOL. Tram boy
looks a right tool in his blazer. I wish he had been born two years
later. I would have left Armthorpe by the time he started there. If
that snivelling little shit comes talking to me at school I will
kill him. He thinks he is so smart because he is in the top set. He
can't be that smart if he can't even fasten a tie.

    Dad showed me
how to fasten my tie today. I tried to remember how he did it, but
I ended up in a right tangle. I threw the stupid thing on the
floor. Dad wanted to show me again, but I’d had enough. He said he
will write down some instructions for me.
    I have
memorised the teachers’ names from their details and photographs on
the web site. I tried to remember which classrooms the senior boys
showed us on Tuesday. We don’t get our timetable until Monday
morning, so I don’t know which lessons I have on my first day. Mum
said I get two lots of homework every weekday. I hope they tell us
how long to spend on homework. I don’t agree with homework at all.
I think school should be for school work, and home should be for
hobbies and other things you enjoy.
    Lesley was a
pain today. She said I can’t speak to her at school because I will
embarrass her in front of her friends. She said I can’t sit with
her on the bus, or eat my lunch with her. I don’t want anything to
do with her, or her friends. They are all stupid. All they do is
giggle, and talk about clothes, makeup and boys. Lesley stood in
front of me, and put her tie on in ten seconds flat. She did it to
make me feel bad. She doesn’t like it because I am cleverer than
she is. She needn’t think I will help her with her computer the
next time she breaks it.

Diary
    Jamie drove me
crazy asking the same questions all day long. He had me test him on
the names of the teachers. If any of the other parents saw me, they
would think I had lost the plot. They would be right. He is annoyed
because he hasn’t got a timetable. He wants to know which lessons
he will have on his first day. He’s always been a bit of a planner.
I don’t know why they didn’t hand them out on Tuesday. There is
always the possibility they did, and that Jamie has lost his
already.
    He hasn’t made
much progress with his tie. Lesley didn’t help. She can be a real
little madam when she makes her mind up. She knew Jamie was
struggling, so she stood in front of him, and put on her tie in
double quick time. She had a great big smirk on her face. Andrew
has said he will write out some instructions for him.

    Michael Parkes
and his mum are coming to our house tomorrow. I hate it when he
comes over. He always wants to talk about football. I have no
interest in football. It’s a stupid, boring game. I have told him
I’m not interested, but he still goes on and on about it. He’s
always asking me if I saw this goal or that goal. I wish he was
interested in something else. I could show him some of my model
trams, but he’s always messing around, and I’m worried he might
break them. Mum and Michael’s mum are friends. She comes over here
about once a month. Michael starts at Armthorpe next week. I didn’t
see him on Tuesday, so I don’t know which set he is in. I hope he
isn’t in the same one as me. I don’t want to listen to him talking
about football every day at school.
    How can it be
so difficult to fasten a tie? I am much cleverer than Lesley, and
yet she makes it look easy. Lesley laughed at me. She did the same
thing when I was little. She used to make fun of me because I
couldn’t tie my shoelaces. I told her to get lost. Dad wrote some
instructions, but they are next to useless. I am going to look on
the Internet for clearer
