I sat in the restaurant with my date Esmerelda. She was great. I met her at some club and she was quite a few years older than me. I really did like older women.
So we walked into the restaurant and Esmerelda saw one of her friends Sherrie and her husband who looked old enough to be her father. Well Sherrie invited us to eat with them. But we couldn�t start because her stepdaughter wasn�t there yet.
�Daniel where is she? She knows she�s supposed to be here.� Sherrie whined to her husband. He rolled his eyes.
�She�ll be here soon. She had to work today. Look there she is.� Daniel pointed across the room to the door. We turned our heads and then I noticed who it was.
She quickly walked over to our table and sat down next to me. Her dad was at the head of the table and Sherrie was to his left. Esmerelda sat next to her so they could talk so I was sitting across from Esmerelda. And the only empty place was beside me.
�Hi daddy, Sherrie. Sorry I�m late. I was working and couldn�t get off sooner cos we were shorthanded. Cos see Lori threw some soup at her ex boyfriend today and well got the rest of the day off. So I had to work late. But I�m here now. And may I ask why HE is eating with us?� Addie pointed to me. �My dinner is thoroughly ruined now.�
Addie�s stepmum�s face went pale. Obviously she didn�t appreciate her remarks. �Well at least I know you�re not preparing it. I might get food poisoning and die.� I commented to Addie.
�Oh you are SO mature. So is anyone going to answer my question?� Addie looked around the table expecting an answer.
�Well, Esmerelda is a friend of mine. And this is her date J. So I invited them to eat with us.� Sherrie explained.
�What gave you the right to ask them to eat with us? You had no right. This is supposed to be a daddy daughter get together. Not a daddy daughter, stepmum and all her um, maybe I shouldn�t continue.� Addie shutup and looked at the menu.

I could not believe it! Abs and Lori had brought Brittany over to my apartment to visit me. And now they wouldn�t leave!! I was supposed to go visit Billie but I couldn�t leave. Brittany followed me around everywhere with her camera taking pictures.
�Oh Ritch! Your flat is just charming!� she gushed. �I absolutely love it. Your taste is so choice.�
�Thanks Brittany. Um, I really need to be going now. I have things I need to do. Brittany I had lots of fun. Thanks for bringing her over Abs and Lori.� I quickly got up and pushed all three out the door. I could hear Abs and Lori laughing down the hall.
I ran into my room and grabbed some lipgloss. I had to make my lips look shiny for Billie. My, they look good after I put some on. I then grabbed my jacket and bounced out of my flat. I bounced all the way down to the lift. I was a very bouncy person. People always commented on my bounciness. And I loved it.

I was so bored! It was a Saturday night and I had nothing to do. Addie and I were going clubbing when she got back from dinner which would be around 9:30. So right now I had nothing to do. Nothing to do at all.
I decided to watch tv so I flipped it on. Of course nothing was on. I stood up in disgust that we have satellite tv over 900 channels and yet nothing was still on.
Addie had told me some about this Sean fellow. He sounded like a real nice bloke. She said she would introduce us sometime. I wished we knew eachother NOW so I had something to do. I walked into Addies room and noticed it was a mess as usual. So I decided to clean it. I quickly began picking up all her dirty laundry and throwing it in a laundry basket.
~Lori~
After Abs and I made up, we decided to go out. I really felt like playing on a playground so we went to one outside of London. But first we stopped at my flat where I changed and picked up a few essentials.
�Hey Lori look at me!� Abs called out. He was hanging upside down on the monkey bars waving at me. I reached into my bag and pulled out a marble and my slingshot. I loaded the slingshot and let go. It hit Abs square in the arm. Just like I wanted.
�Ow� Abs screamed as he fell to the ground. Meanwhile I ran over to him laughing my head off. I helped him off the ground and he asked what happened.
�I don�t know. You just fell.�
�Something hit me in the arm.� Abs bent down and picked my marble off the ground. �This hit me. Someone threw a marble at me. If I ever get my hands on them...� Abs muttered under his breath. I took his arm and led him back to our bench.
It was then Abs noticed my slingshot I forgot to put back in my bag. �Uh, Lori what�s this?� He asked holding it up. I quickly grabbed it and took off running.
�Um, you�re it!� I yelled. Abs then began chasing me.
~Addie~
This has got to be the most boring dinner of my life, I thought to myself. Sherrie and her friend Esmerelda wouldn�t shut up. Esmerelda what type of a name is that? She sounds like a skanky whore to me.
�So J, where�d you find your date? I�m a loser who can�t find a date dating services?� I asked him. My dad was talking on his cell phone at the moment to some important client.
�Oh you are too funny Addie. How�d you ever get this funny? And for your information, though its not any of your business, I met her through a friend.� Just then J�s cell phone went off. �Hallo? Oh hey Scott. No I don�t know where Abs is? What do I look like his personal secretary?�
�Well you�re ugly enough for the job.� I muttered under my breath.
�No, I can�t go clubbing with you. I�m kinda on a date.�
�You mean you�re with an escort.� J shot me a look.
�Why would I know their number? Well if you really want to talk to them Addie�s right here. You can talk to her.� J handed me the phone. I couldn�t figure out why Scott wanted to talk to me.
�Hello? Oh hey Scott. Sure that sounds like fun. I�ll bring my roommate Kelly with me. Sure, um Blue Planet at 10. See you there.� I hung up the phone and handed it back to J. �See that�s how you get a real date.�
�you�re the last person I need dating tips from. Your last date your dad probably had to pay off.Wait your dad probably doesn�t have THAT much money.�
�Excuse me, NO. I�m perfectly capable of getting dates on my own. Unlike you, who needs their friends to set them up.� Again our voices started rising. Everyone in the restaraunt looked at us.
�ADDIE MARIE SUSAN HYDE!!! SIT DOWN RIGHT THIS MINUTE AND BE QUIET.� I quickly sat down when I heard my dad screaming at me. He never yelled at me. J also sat down and shutup. �I want you to apologize right now.�
�but...but...� I started to protest.
�I don�t care. Apologize. And you young man. I have never seen such ungentelmany behaivor before. The next time you yell at my daughter I will crush you.� We both muttered an apology to eachother. �Now Addie, I think you should leave. It�s obvious you cannot control yourself in public.�
I stood up and said my goodbyes then walked out of the restaurant. My dad had NEVER yelled at me before. I didn�t know what to do. One thing I knew for sure, it was all J�s fault.
