THE STORY OF ME AND MY LIFE ENTRY TEN

7TH MARCH, 1999,

Hello, Abi,

Do you still want to know what I worked out? Okay, here goes:

When my mum was younger she married my dad, Terry Shobby, and we all had the name Shobby. But when Mum married Hannah's dad, we all, including me, took the name Bazter.
It took me ages to figure it out. And when I did, I jumped out of my seat and exclaimed: "OH MY GOD!"
"Sit down, Ali," said Nanna. "It's quite rude to jump up out of your seat when we're all eating!"
"Sorry, Nanna," I said, meekly. "But I've realized this pizza is really tasty."
I couldn't believe it. I'd made friends with a potential older sister. We were both so silly when we were sitting by the bridge and talking about our families. We both thought it was a coinidence that my dad already had a one year old daughter when I was born, and that Chantelle was the same age as this daughter. It was a bit silly of us to not work it out. I took out my phone from my bedside table, switched it on, and texted Chantelle. She'd given me her number before I went home:

"Hi Chantz
can i cum 2 ur place 2moro hav sum xcitin news"

I waited half an hour, and then I got a reply:

"yes of course u can ali c u 2moro wots this xcitin news u hav"

"sorry chantz i will tell u wen i cum round 2moro"

"ok. c u"

I can't wait til tomorrow! Hopefully, Chantelle will be just as excited as I am!

See you later, Abi!
