Six Steps to a Girl
“‘Happy House’ Siouxsie and the Banshees After four days of spring weather, the temperature dropped to almost freezing on Thursday night. Then on Friday it rained. Eve and I met as usual in the park, but it was grey and wet and miserable and Eve kept complaining she was cold.
We wandered out of the park and up towards the high street. I’d been trying for hours to think of somewhere we could go. I never took Eve back to my place in case Chloe was in, and Eve didn’t want us to go to hers becau...se her mum was home.
Then I remembered the building site. It was set back from the road, on a quiet part of my route to school. The builders were hardly ever there and the place was a total dump – just rubble with a few walls and ceilings. It was supposed to be a development of new flats, but they hadn’t even started building the first floors yet.
It was private. It was dry. And it was empty. Perfect.
I dragged Eve past the no-entry signs and we huddled there for most of the afternoon.MoreLess
