Cherry: Oh my god – RJ from This Place was sleeping in my bed!
Lizzie: Hi Cherry – did you have good trip?
Cherry: Yes, great, now tell me all about RJ!
Lizzie: Don’t call him that, his name is Robin.
Cherry: What was he like? Was he all demanding and diva-ish? Did you have to peel his grapes and buy him special food?
Lizzie: Oh you are SO ridiculous! He’s very sweet and a bit shy and not ‘starry’ at all.
Cherry: Really? Oh… but I want to know all the gossip! He must have loads of celebrity friends, too – does he know Kylie? – he must have LOADS of interesting stories. Did he tell you all about what it was like being in the band? How come they split up, what’s the inside story? How come he’s moved into that funny little cottage?
Lizzie: Well –
Cherry: Come ON Lizzie – tell me everything! I would tell you.
Lizzie: There’s nothing much to tell you. He doesn’t really want to talk about anything like that.
Cherry: Maybe he doesn’t want it to seem he’s being big-headed by talking about being famous. He wants you to think he’s, like, just a normal person! Just ASK him!
Lizzie: No!
Cherry: Oh well, I’LL ask him myself then – if I ever get to meet him!
Lizzie: Cherry – don’t. He said just this afternoon, he just wants to forget all that.
Cherry: Aw – okay…I will get to meet him though, won’t I? I mean, you will keep on seeing him?
Lizzie: Of course I will – I’ll be seeing him all the time, he’s my friend, and Mum said he’s got to come round here at least once a week for dinner, so it won’t be that long before you meet him.
Cherry: I’m home for a whole week now; ask him round as soon as possible – and I promise to be on my best behaviour!
Cherry: Hey, what are you looking at – doing a bit of shopping on the net…?
Lizzie: No – it’s nothing –
Cherry: Ooh you’re looking up your boyfriend! Oh don’t close it down…
Lizzie: He’s NOT my boyfriend! There was just something I wondered about …
Cherry: What?
Lizzie: Oh, nothing much…it was a silly idea, you don’t know what to believe on half these websites.
Cherry: Oh I just pick and choose what I want to believe! Anyway, whatever it is, I expect you’ll get it straight from the horse’s mouth before long, won’t you?
Lizzie: Yes – I suppose I will.
