If you have absolutely no idea who I am talking about, or you are thinking of the countdown girl then I urge you to read these fantastic books. So far Joanna Nadin have covered four years of Rachel’s fictional life through six books all structured as Rachel’s diaries (www.rachel-riley.com and it is after book number six ‘the facts of life: Rachel Riley (almost) wakes up and smells the coffee’ that I am writing to you from. However that diary ended in December and I (Rachel) have started to blog in May so a few gaps need to be filled in…
January 1st
Ran to Scarlets (which is hard in pumps, I think they must cause some drag or something) and got there to find Jack with massive, giddy grin on his face. Thought it was for me so I ran towards him but as I was running blond girl obstructed my path and I ended up running straight into her which caused a pile up of heroes and heroines on top of me. Got up to see blond hanging off Jack in a ‘not just friends way’. Tried to run away but tripped up stairs (damn pumps) and knocked self out just as the party was counting down into the new year. So missed party, missed new year countdown, and made a fool of self in front of everyone and Jack, like Marigold has been forced into the arms of another.
So now on Scarlet’s bed with ice pack on head and a mass of painkillers. Scarlet on the other hand does not need her bad as according to Suzy she is in TREVORS! Apparently the bat boy apologised and whisked her back to his ‘batcula’ lair. Jack is no where to be seen and Suzy said that the blond girl is his girlfriend who he met in Guatemala and she was also on her gap year from Hull.
Once again I am a love pariah and in a pit of despair. However the road to love and life is education so this years new years resolutions are:
1. Pass all A-levels with flying colours
2. Talk to Uncle Jim more (he appears to be full of (hippy) wisdom)
3.Choose a University and course
4. Find a new amazing lover and forget all past rock star flirtations
5. Go on exotic end of exams/sixth form/era once in a life time holiday with best friends Scarlet
and Sad Ed.
Since January
- Uncle Jim temporarily moved into spare room (previously occupied by Grandpa Riley, Treena and Jesus and Granny Clegg and Bruce (the dogs moronic offspring)
- Jack considered moving up to Hull university with blond (aka Ammie)
- Jack and is minty with me over love, uni, Guatemala, Justin issues
- Sad Ed overwhelming gloom due to very evident Goth love of Scarlet and bat boy Trevor
- James has inadvertently attracted the attention of new female mathlete (Beth) who ‘has a wonky face’!
- Have applied to do English at UEA!!!!

EDIT:
Right Ok, this requires a change in font!
Here's the deal it is now the end of October 2011 and Rachel has gone off to university. I am however only 17 so having not experienced uni life I cannot deliver the fan fiction she deserves at this pinnacle time in her life. Therefore Rach is travelling back in time to year 11 upon the strike of the 1st November. Having experienced Year 11 and all its joys(!) I can offer you a more comprehensive coverage of Rachel's life and all its moments of note!
Thank you dearest reader =) xx
