I can't believe it. It's weird. I've just come back from the walk and I, I, I have to write this down. I'll forget otherwise, and I don't want to forget any of it, it's too great.
What happened, happened a few weeks ago, My sis and me were invited to go on a walk by one of my dad's mates. There's loads of other people going that are my age.
The walk was horrible. I got stuck with this idiot called Matthew. He talked none stop about boring subjects, like, oh I cant describe them, they were too way out. He really did my head in. He was talking about deep Sheepyosophical things, and we had known each other for about half an hour, but I don't want to talk about that. What I want to talk about is Iguana. Just writing her name down on this paper, gives me butterflies inside.
Iguana is a girl that my sis met. They really hit it off. Looks like they'll be really good mates. I'm glad because She is like an angel. If God is a woman, he will look like Iguana. She has exotic brown eyes, just thinking about them makes me fell weak inside. At one point she looked at me and I thought I was going to faint. They're hypnotic, I cant describe the way she makes me feel when she looks at me.
And her hair. I don't think that anyone has nicer hair than her. It's just below shoulder length, and when she laughs, her had shakes and her hair softly flows over her ivory cheeks, Oh it's wonderful, I really love her. And when she is talking and stuff, she subconsciously plays with her hair, she was talking to me, yes me! at one point and all I could think about was the way she was wrapping her hair around her index finger. It makes me feel hot just thinking about it, I think I might be falling in love!
That's all I'm putting for now, I just had to write down how I feel about her because It's driving me crazy, when I feel this way, and I cant say it to anyone, especially if they become best friends!
Oh that'd be too weird.
Scrap 2
I've just been talking to my sister. She says that she likes one of Iguana's brothers, Sheepy. He's a very funny person, he is always cracking jokes, or at least he was on the walk. He's very funny when he smiles though, because he shows all his teeth in a big wide grin, which is very easy to impersonate.
I really don't know what I am going to do. We've been invited to go to bowling with them. I'm hopeless. last time I went, I only got 45 points, no strikes or half strikes either.
Oh now I'm really nervous, what if she talks to me, I'll die of embarrassment. All of her friends are going to be there, I'm gonna die.
What am I gonna say if she talks to me, should I try and be funny. No, I just sound weird If I do that.
I'll just act normally, everything will be fine. I am really nervous
---------------------
Oh man we're gonna go! I cant cope I really want to see her, but I'm just going to beam my head off, and they'll all know that I like her.
Wish me luck!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
That was probably the worst night of my life. Apart from the fact that I knew two people, my sis and Iguana, man I still get butterflies, but I made a complete fool out of myself.
I got the lowest score out of everyone there, and there were 15 people there. First time round I got 39 after that game, she came up to me and said that I'd "probably do better next time."
I wish
I got 29! 29! I could have cried. They were all teasing me saying I should put the bars up on the sides. I felt like such a fool. no-one talked to me really. It was an absolute disaster. We went to the cinema afterwards, and watched a really boring film. It dragged on and on. I couldn't wait to get home.
When I did, sis just talked all night about how she liked Sheepy. I wanted to bang her head against the wall.
well at least she has a reason to carry on being friends with Iguana.
Scrap 4
Disaster strikes. My sis has been to Iguana's house quite a few times now. She has met Iguana's brothers. She has three, Sheepy, Dan2k1 and FantasyMeister. She says that FantasyMeister is very shy and seems to be a bit of a loaner. She said that Dan2k1, the other brother, is pretty nice. I thought he was ok when he brought us home after the dreadful bowling.
Anyway, Iguana had come to our house once, and spent most of the time in my sisters room. That was good because it meant that I couldn't make a fool of myself again.
But today, i went out with my dog for a walk after dinner, like I normally do, and when I came back, she was in the sitting room. I was in a world of my own, when I came in and I took my shoes and coat off and started to walk through the sitting room to go to the hallway. I saw her looking at me in the chair. she was curled up and had her legs underneath herself and she was playing with her hair.
She looked up from my sister and looked at me with her dazzling eyes and said "Oh Hi, are you ok?" I almost fainted as she sat there running her fingers through her velvety brown hair. I just kept thinking why cant you be running your fingers through my hair. The thought of that made me want to beam with happiness, so before I did I managed to mumble out "yeah fine," or something like that!
As I walked past she followed me with her eyes, and I could feel her stare as if it were lasers. I couldn't look at her because I thought I might collapse or faint or something. But I started to smile, and once I start smiling, I cant stop, I felt very uncomfortable. When I made it to the hallway, I sat down on the stairs, composed myself and went in.
The afternoon was fine after that. But I spent it thinking, 'you're gorgeous,' 'I've never met anyone as nice as you!' and the like.
Ohh Iguana, if you knew how you make me feel.
Scrap 5
The summer has been a hot one, so we have lots of barbeques! The first one we had, I met quite a few new people. Apart from Iguana and her 3 brothers there was Whooo Style, Sheepy and Dan2k1’s best friend. Iguana said that she viewed Whooo Style as another brother because he was always round at her house, lucky thing! I met Iguana’s cousin Nat. He’s freaky. He is so vain. He spends his time looking in mirrors and adjusting his hair! The creep.
He’s funny when he’s around Emmalou, Iguana’s old best friend. Emmalou mothers Nat. She acts like his mother, it’s so funny. They’d make a perfect couple, but Emmalou is in love with Dan2k1. After spending quite a few weekends with him the only word I can use to describe him is cute! I think this because he obviously likes my sis. If she looks at him, he’ll c**k his head on one side and smile and it’s really funny. It reminds me of a dog really.
My sis still loves Sheepy. But she also likes Dan2k1. She cant decide between them as to who she likes best! I keep teasing her about how Dan2k1 likes her, and I keep saying to her what are you gonna do if Dan2k1 asks you to marry you. She just looks at me! I think that she secretly prefers Dan2k1! The problem with that, is that Emmalou really likes Dan2k1.
Iguana. Iguana is still the nicest person on earth. She’s coming on holiday with us next week, I really cant wait! 2 and half weeks with her in the south of France. It’ll be heaven.
Something horrible happened. My mum asked my sis if Iguana liked anyone of her friends, and she does, Turbonutter. I hate him. When my sister said that it felt like a knife had been stabbed right into my heart. and she started to describe him to my mum it was like somebody was ripping my insides out with the knife. My sis said that she really, really likes him. What am I going to do. I am the youngest person in that group. Iguana is the next, but she is 1 and a half years older than me! By the time I’ve finished my A levels and am in a position to get married, she will be married to someone. It feels like my world is falling apart.
Oh well I suppose I just have to really make an impression when I go on holiday with her next week.
Scrap 6
I’m sat on the beach in St Tropez. It’s half nine and the sun is setting. Today, me and Iguana went for a walk into Port Gramaud a little village across the bay from St Tropez. It was really hot, the sun beaming down. When we got there. we were really thirsty, so we went into the little winding streets to find a nice cool cafe to have a drink. We found a little square, with little stone buildings all around it. There were little green wrought iron tables and chairs in the middle of the square. We got one in the shade, so that we could cool off. We both got a bowl of ice-cream and a lemonade. I had mint ice-cream and she had lemon flavour. The square was so romantic.
I said to her how wonderful it would be to sit here for a meal on an evening with the person you love. Yeah she said it is really romantic. She looked into my eyes and I went all weak inside I sat there just looking at her and her looking at me. Then she said “I love you” I think I must have lost my mind then because I just looked at her and said “I do too.” He started to beam, so did I, but then she stopped smiling. And said come on lets go. We left the ice-cream. We started to walk in silence. We were walking down a little narrow street, the sun dappled by the ivy swaying in the soft breeze.
She stopped walking, looked at me like she had in the square and said, “Kiss me.” I turned around, not saying a thing, and we kissed. It felt like an explosion went off inside me. I, I cant describe how I felt. My heart started to beat so fast I thought I was going to explode and my mind was going everywhere, but my body was there kissing Iguana. I felt like I was in heaven.
We caught the boat back to the apartment. It was a day that I will never forget.
Scrap 7
I proposed the summer after we went on holiday and kissed. We planned to get married the following spring, April, the 20th.
Everything was great. Sheepy had married my sis, and Emmalou had married Dan2k1. Dan2k1 had asked my sis to go out with him, but she said she didn’t want to and dropped a hint that Emmalou liked him. He took up on that hint and Emmalou accepted Dan2k1’s offer. Sheepy then took advantage of that and asked my sis and she accepted.
My sister’s wedding was massive. She looked so lovely in her wedding dress. My mum cried none stop! It wasn’t long after that, that Emmalou and Dan2k1 got married.
Then it was our turn. Everything was going fine, until April came. Things kept going wrong, just niggling things, which upset Iguana, like the flowers she wanted couldn’t be got and things like that. I was starting to dread it, in case something drastic went wrong.
It was 1 week before. We had met up in a pub, and had a drink. I was getting the last things done and discussed them with her. Everything was planned, all that was left to do was to get married!
She left first. I had another drink, and then went home. At 2 o’clock in the morning, I heard a knock at my door, so I went to answer it. It was the police. They said that there was a drunk driver, driving recklessly on the wrong side of the road, and he’d hit Iguana’s car.
She was pronounced dead on the scene.
My life is over, there is no point in living anymore. I cannot live here, waking up each day, knowing that I will never see her smile again, I will never feel the way I felt when she looked at me, when she told me that she loved me and then when I kissed her.
My life was over, never again would I see her face, her hair, or the way her eyes would screw up when she laughed. All those things were gone, everything that I held dear in my life was gone. I want her back, I cant cope without her. I need her with me.
I cannot continue without her, I cannot live here on earth while she is not here, goodbye everyone, goodbye.
Enjoy. (Yes I know it's in the archive but no-one's read it so Im putting it here instead!)
