feet up as well. ‘So, come on then –
what do you wanna talk about?’
    ‘I know Mum
told you I was over Mark, but I’m not. I want him back, Cat. What
do you think I should do?’
    Catherine
looked up at the ceiling, her fingertips brushing her forehead. It
was her way of trying to look intelligent. ‘Do you want my brutally
honest opinion?’
    ‘I wanna know
what I should do…’
    ‘After what he
did to you I wouldn’t want anything else to do with him.’ She
sipped her wine and avoided eye contact.
    ‘I know all
that – but I can’t help still being in love with him can I? I don’t
want anyone else. I know if I don’t get back with him then I’ll be
on my own forever.’
    Catherine
laughed. ‘Oh my God, you’re so dramatic. You might not think you’ll
meet anyone else like him, but believe me, you’ll meet someone
better than him – I did.’
    ‘ Yeah,
but you weren’t engaged before Graham, were you? Me and Mark were
together nine years!’
    ‘ What
does that matter? I’ve been in love before, too.’
    ‘ Ok, ok,
I know all that, I still want to know how I can get back with him
though. What should I do?’
    Catherine sat
up and stretched. ‘I don’t know. Phone him. Tell him you miss him
and you’d like to go out as friends and catch up.’
    ‘That won’t
work. Ever since we cancelled the wedding and sorted all that mess
out he hasn’t spoken to me. The last thing he said was that he
hoped I’d get over it.’
    ‘ Oh,
bully for him. He sounds a right prat, Tez. I always knew he
was.’
    ‘ He’s
not. I know he won’t go out with me though – not even as friends.
He’s got a new girlfriend now and she’d probably go mad
anyway.’
    ‘Is he on
Facebook?’
    ‘Yeah.’
    ‘Can you still
see his wall?’
    ‘Yeah.’
    ‘Well then.
Find out what he is up to and accidently bump into him.’
    I
couldn’t believe that I hadn’t thought of Facebook. It was perfect.
She was bound to be on there. I would find out everything I could
about her and then I would accidently bump into her, not him. I
would be her new friend and then I would become her enemy. My plan
was perfect. I ran to get my laptop so Catherine could help
me.
     

Chapter Five
The good
book
     
    I’d never
been so happy to see Facebook. I must admit, I was starting to get
a little bit bored with it; all people seemed to do was bitch at
each other and fall out. And, I knew for a fact that some of the
girls from my old school had touched up their photos – how else
would Lisa’s spotty skin look so smooth and tanned? It took a while to load but the
first thing I noticed when I looked at Mark’s page was the new
photo. It used to be one of us together from our holiday in Vegas,
but it had now been callously replaced by one of him with her!
Catherine took out her glasses from her handbag. Her mouth dropped
open. ‘She’s not that nice, Tez,’ she said, obviously trying to
make me feel better, as in my eyes she was absolutely gorgeous.
They both had their arms around each other’s waists and they were
smiling into the camera. I moved my face closer to the laptop and
stared intensely at this girl. She had long, glossy, brown hair and
dark eyes. Her skin was tanned and her white, cropped-top and mini
skirt showed her slim, toned figure off to perfection. Her teeth
were straight and white and she had a smattering of freckles across
her snub nose which gave her an “all-American” look, which I
envied. She was the total opposite of me. My naturally curly red
hair was frizzy in comparison to hers and mine stopped growing once
it reached my shoulders; hers was halfway down her back. My light,
grey eyes felt dull compared to her sparkling peepers and my size
12 figure felt flabby and hideous next to her tiny frame. They do
say men go for the opposite of their partner when they are looking
for an affair and I realized that there was no way on earth he
would have me back now. Why would he want a frump like me when he
was with a
