The other team weren’t very good and we quickly scored three goals. But then we relaxed, I think. We thought ‘This is easy! We’re going to win.

But luckily we managed to score in the last minute and win the match.

I arranged to meet my boyfriend Jake last night but he texted an hour before and said sorry, he was busy. I texted back: ‘Busy? What are you doing?’ ‘I’m staying in. Really sorry. See you tomorrow,’ he said. But then Sally saw him in town with Lizzie. That’s what she said anyway. So, did he stay in? I don’t know.
