My name’s Helen and my best friend is Nicola. We’re both 16. We met eleven years
ago when we first went to school. We go to the same girls’ school, but Nicola and I
are very different. She is very sporty – she loves running and doing athletics, and I’m
very musical – I sing in a group, and I play the piano and the violin.
We have very different personalities, too. For example, if we watch a romantic
film, I always cry, and if we watch a
horror film, I’m always terrified. Nicola is the opposite – she doesn’t show her
feelings. My favourite thing about Nicola is that she is always honest. If I ask her
opinion about a new dress or a boy at a party, she always tells the truth. She’s also
very patient. She doesn’t mind waiting for me when I’m late for things.
Nicola is great, but there are some things about her that drive me mad. She is too
modest. She blushes every time someone says something nice about her. She’s
also very, very tidy. Everything is in the correct place in her bedroom. (Mine is the
complete opposite because I hate tidying!) The worst habit she has is getting up
early. She goes running before school and she never stays in bed late at weekends.
I hate people who are active in the mornings – I’m sleepy for an hour after I wake up.

Emma’s diary page – Friday 16th November I went out with Dave again tonight. We’ve been out lots of time since the middle of September when we met. He’s really nice – we never have arguments – but he’s a bit too unemotional for me. He bought me some flowers once, but he hasn’t been very romantic since then. My old boyfriends used to write love letters and poems and I really liked that. I’m not really sure what to do. I don’t want to split up but I think we need to make some changes. We’ve seen each other three times every week since September and I think that’s too much. I’d prefer to go out at weekends and not meet in the week. I hope that will make the relationship more interesting. I’ll also have more time to see my friends and concentrate on my studies. I think the problem may be our star signs. I’m Scorpio – very hot-blooded and sensitive and Dave is Libra – very balanced and logical. But my mum and dad are very different and they have been happily married for years. Perhaps I need a love potion to make Dave more romantic or I could give him a book of love stories. It’s my birthday soon, so I hope Dave organizes something special for me – a romantic dinner for two would be lovely (better than our last meal together in a fast-food café!)
