Our School
I was watching the news, with my mum, the other day and we saw this:
Stockport Grammar School
What a load of rubbish! School's nothing like this. I mean, maybe it is for the younger people but not for us!
If you're a parent and you want to send your child here.. DON'T.

Dear Diary (Post 3)
Dear Diary,
William. Shootings. Danger.
William shot my friends. I can't- I can't stop crying. How could he do this? I thought he loved us! He's gone. The old him is gone. It's all over the news! He's now at Sutton Manor Hospital (the private mental-health hospital near Stockport). Fuck you William, you ruined yourself.
Cissy. My best friend. She's gone. Forever. I wish I could go back in time and just talk to her again. Last time I spoke to her was when I was angry at her for talking about her weight. And now- now, I'm never going to speak to her again! I guess Cissy memorised the timetable for mocks for no reason.
The backs of my eyes are stinging. The tears keep streaming down my cheeks.
Why wasn't I there to help them?!
The funerals' for all of them are next Sunday. Pull yourself together Tanya! You need to be there for your friends.
William, if you ever see this, I hope you're proud of yourself. I hope you're proud that you ended your friend's lives. Ended their dreams. Ended yourself. You can never ever fix this. You can't fix what you have broken. You can't even try to fix it.
It's gone.
You're gone.

Dear Diary (Post 2)
Dear Diary,
I had History with Anderson this morning. It was perfect. I sat in front of his desk so that I could look at him without him getting freaked out. Oh God, he's perfect. The work was really easy but I still asked for help so that he'd lean over my desk and explain it to me.
It's lunch now in the Common Room. I was sitting with Cissy and Lilly. Cissy's my best friend but, God, does she got on my nerves? All the time. She's convinced that she's fat and she tells me and Lilly all the time which, since Cissy's the thinnest one of us, makes me and Lilly feel like shit. Can she just shut up about her weight? Thank God that Lilly stood up to her; someone finally told her to shut up!
I would never tell anyone this, in person, but they all think they're better than me. Since I went to public schools before and they didn't. Since I don't have a boyfriend yet and they do. Since I'm the only person who defends my friends when Bennet's rude to them and they can take it. I don't think they understand that we can all be different but equal.
As if they'd want to be equal. They just want to be the best and only the best.
Lilly's acting a bit strange lately so I better go and find out what's happening with her.
Love from,
Tanya x

Dear Diary
Dear Diary,
I'm not very good at writing these things so I'll start by intoducing myself; My name's Tanya Gleason and I'm 18 years old. I go to a fee-paying grammar school, in Stockport, where I'm in sixth form with my friends.
Today, we had a new student, Lilly, joining our school. I had to go around looking for her all morning. She decided to make her own way into the school; I am so pissed off. Was there even a point in me showing up? I wished she made it easier for me to find her this morning.
We happily welcomed her to our friendship group, but we're a bit weird. We're seen as the outcasts of the school, but we thought 'Why not? Why not have yet another outcast?'. Her dad works at these fancy universities all around England. Bennet was really interested that he had worked at Cambridge. Cambridge! Of all places, she has to come from the most prestigious universities. I guess it's kind of cool.
Everyone is starting to revise for the mocks. They're only mocks! You don't need to revise for mocks. Cissy even memorised the timetable for them. She doesn't even do PE! Photographic memory, she says. More like showing off if you ask me.
Year 7's are really getting on my nerves. Last Friday, I found out that if you line them up and push them over, they fall on top of eachother. Everyone thinks I'm mean but they're just so rude! I had to experiment.
Anyway, I have a lesson in 3 minutes, with Anderson, so I'll write to you after.
Love from,

Tanya Gleason
Who am I?
My name is Tanya Gleason and I am assigned to look after Lilly. I am in love with Anderson who is a teacher at my school; I don't understand why we can't be together! My friends just don't understand. I like to hang out with my friends, Cissy and Lilly, in the common-room at lunchtime. People say I'm very mature but I just believe that I'm well behaved. Cissy thinks she's fat when she's clearly not! Lilly gets so annoyed when Cissy calls herself fat but I just like to stay out of it!
Where am I?
I am at my grammar school in Stockport in 2009. To be honest, I love going to school because I get to see Anderson; I'm so happy today because I just had a lesson with him. My permanent smile goes from ear to ear. I'm in the common-room with Cissy and Lilly; They started asking me about whether I think about being a mother; I do all the time. I can't help it.
What time is it?
It's lunchtime and I am sat, stretched out, in the common-romm with Cissy and Lilly; they're some of my best friends, and since Nicholas just left, I tell them everything; about Anderson, about how I want a family with him. Everything. It's almost Winter so we've all started wearing oversized jumpers and scarves. It's so cold!
What's my relationship to the other people in the room?
Cissy and Lilly are some of my best friends; we tell eachother everything. Everyone else in the common-room think we're outcasts, all because we're intelligent and witty. We're the only people who understand eachother. I don't understand how we are classed as outcasts. I mean, we go to a grammar school, for crying out loud; we're supposed to be clever!
What surrounds me?
A group of other students surround us, leaving a 3 metre distance between us and them. We all speak in hushed tones but we're still cautious that other students can hear us. The autumn leaves fall from the trees and crumble when they hit the ground. The other students leave their rubbish around the room, when there's a perfectly good bin a few feet away! The chairs have been left untucked, which makes the room look messy.
What are my given circumstances?
I'm in a friendship group where something is happening. I don't really know what or why but people are cracking. Like eggshells. Most of them are in relationships but I have a feeling that they won't work out; not like me and Anderson will. Once we get together, we're gonna be together. Forever.
What do I want?
If I could have anything, right here right now, I want Anderson. My friends say I'm becoming a bit obsessed but I really want Anderson. I want to start a family with him and, when we do, it'll be perfect. I'll be the perfect mother. I'll home-educate them. I'd even learn foreign languages to teach them!
What's in the way?
To be honest, I don't see anything in the way that can't be overcome. Maybe age and, possibly, money to start a family.. But other than that, nothing will stop me from becoming Mrs Tanya Anderson.
What do I do to get what I want?
To start a family, I'll have to get with Anderson first. That won't be that hard. I have a feeling he likes me but he's keeping it a secret. Secret. Yeah, that makes sense. Once we're together, all I have to do is get him to marry; then he'll obviously want a family!
And we'll live
happily
ever
