In the past two weeks alot of shit has happened. 1st- Jill and Gordon are officially my foster parents and i live with them. I sighned the papers last night making it official, they all cried but me i just laughed at them.

2nd- Miss Birmingham is being a bitch! Wghat i mean is, she is ignoring me, not looking at me and when she does its a glare. On one account she passed out textbooks, mine was slammed on the desk others were placed nicely.

So in return im being a bitch to her. She wants me to answer in class i be a bitch, i sleep in class and i glare at her. Two can play at this game!

Im currently walking to her class. I have a free period and earlier today in her class everything she said was going in one ear out the other. As much as i dont want to go, she said half the stuff she said is half our grade and i do want to pass this class.

Her door was open and i saw she was at her desk on her phone. She glanced up at me and i saw she was about to burst into tears. She montioned me to come in and i hesitated before walking in, and what did clumsy old me do,

Trip on my big feet!

Miss birmingham looked at me alarmed and i montioned to her i was fine, i really wasnt but i didnt want her to worry. My knee stung like fuck and i looked at it, it was all graxed and bl;ood pouring out of it,

"fucking hate carpet!" i mumbled as i looked at my sore knee. I got my water out and some tissues. I soaked the tissues and pressed it against the knee and groaned at the pain "you okay?" Miss Birmingham chocked out as she put her phone away,

"are you?" i asked cringing as the pain settled "what do you mean?" she asked and i looked at her as a single tear ran down her cheek "need a hug?" i asked and she nodded.I hopped up and gave her a bear hug and she lightly cried onto my shoulder,

I rubbed her back as she held onto me tighter "wanna talk about it?" i asked and she shook her head "it can help, it helped me!" i said as she calmed down. She let me go and i gave her a tissue to dry her eyes,

"i dont think you'll help, my mum died!" she said and i looked at her "sister oyu are preaching to the choir. My mum,dad and gran died on the same day so talk to me!" i said and she smiled.

I dont know why but we were btoh acting as if nothing happened, and to be honest i liked it!

"she wa sin a home for dementia, she totally forgot everyone three years ago.I never got on with her but after the divorce we thich as thieves. I was either at hers or she was at mine. It wa shard her not being round as much when we first put her in the home,

She always wanted me to get remarried. She would set me up with her bingo buddies sons, some were nice but others were frankly creepy.When i was younger i would always look up to her even though she favoured my sister, i mena some of the stuff she done was pretty obvious,

Claire would get a new comic from the shop when she asked i would get a 'No your not a child' even though i was a year younger. Claire could talk to her whenever she wanted i would have to say 'Mom can we talk tomorrow at four, are you free?', Im just glad i got some time with her before she forgot everything!" she said with a sniff,

"does your sister know?" i asked and she shook her head "they want me to call her, i dotn think i can!" she said looking at me. I didnt know what to say so i gave her another hug "i like your hugs!" she mumbled into my chest and i smiled,

"you can have as many as you want!" i said and rubbed her back "theres not much i can say but the longer you leave not telling you sister the madder she will be!" i said and she nodded "i dotn think madder is a word!" she said and i looked at her,

"i think it is im not sure!" i said and she laughed a bit "whatever!" she said and i smiled "hows your knee?" she asked and i looked down at it and frowned. There was a big blood blob and it was trailing down my leg,

"im use to it, im rather clumsy!" i said and she nodded "get it checked out and it should be fine. How come your here?" she asked and i nodded "your lesson made no sense ot me!" i said and she laughed a bit,

"dont worry i'll go over it next day!" she said and i nodded "im gonna head of and your gonna call your sister!" i said and she nodded "could you stay while i call her, please?" she asked and i nodded "sure!" i said and leant on her desk,

She got her phone out and just looked at it for a moment, i took my hand in hers and she looked at me "its gonna be okay!" i said and she smiled. She diealed her ssiters number and shakingly put the phone to her ear,

"h-hey Claire.... No well yeah i guess... Claire m-mums d-dead!-" she chocked out and i hugged her as she burst into tears "-they j-just called m-me!......o-okay!...b-bye!" she said and hugged me back and held onto me,

"come on its okay!" i said rubbing her back "what did she say?" i asked kneeling down "she's comming over after work!" she said and i nodded "see it wasnt as bad as you thought!" i said and she nodded,

"bastard!" she said and i smiled "gee thanks!" i said and she dried her eyes and laughed lightly "you gonna be okay?" i asked and she nodded "thanks!" she said and i nodded "its fine, just dont blow up!" i said and she raised an eyebrow,

"it could happen!" i said and she laughed "how come you havnt been at the care home lately?" she asked and i instantly smiled "i was fostered!" i said trying not to jump up and down "really?" she asked and i nodded,

"yeah, there really nice and Kate and Jake are in the year below there my brother and sister and everything!" i said and she smiled "im glad its working out!" she said and i nodded, there was some silence before she tlaked again,

"can i say somethign?" she asked and i smirked "you just did!" i said and she playfully smacked my arm "shut up!" she said and i smiled "see afew weeks back..." i immediatly knew what she was talking about,

"ah!" i said and she nodded "ah indeed!" she said and i looked away "look im sorry for acting the way i did, im just scared soemone's gonna find out and i'll loose my job and i have t think of Olive!" she said and i nodded,

"i wont tell anyone dont worry!" i said and she nodded "but that doesnt mean i dont want to give this a go!" she said and i looked at her and she was looking at her hands and playing with a pen "what?" i asked and she nodded,

"Jo, i cant help how i feel if i had a choice i would quit this stupid job and make a go of it but i cant but i dont want to not be with you. Its fine if you think im being completely crazy and never talk to me cos' i'll get it but its how i feel!" she said and i couldnt believe this,
