October 31What an evening! There was a Halloween party at Nickʼs house. Just before I left home, Mum said, ʻCan you take Sam with you?ʼ Sam! My ten-year-old brother! ʻMum,ʼ I said, ʻThis is not a childrenʼs party. There are no games and sweets. We want to dance.ʼ But she didnʼt listen to me. So I went to the party with Sam in a Harry Potter costume! I wasnʼt happy! At Nickʼs, there was a totally beautiful girl called Diane. I wanted to dance with her but she … she talked to Sam! She thought he was cute! Then Diane came up to me and said: ʻYouʼve got a really intelligent brother. He wants to be a pilot just like me. We want to go to the Science Museum next weekend to look at the old aeroplanes. Would you like to come with us?ʼI opened my mouth and closed it again. Then I said, ʻYes.ʼSo, now Iʼve got a very strange date at the weekend. A date with a beautiful girl and my ten-year-old brother at the Science Museum! Iʼm reading Samʼs books on aeroplanes … Watch this space for more news next Monday.
