I love my friends! But the weird things we do….how do we come up with these things? And actually think it’s a normal thing to do? Take my 14th birthday for example. They teamed up to give me a "surprise" and had all these secret meetings, which they obviously kept me out of. So anyway, they do this for ages and then when my birthday actually comes, you know what they give me? A "Wife" card and loads of wooden spoons! I mean where did they come up with that? That was the latest one in a long list of weird and wonderful events.

Another thing we did was in Drama last year. They were obsessed with the cinema 3D glasses. We wore them a lot more than we should to be honest. So much in fact that our food tech teacher banned us from wearing them every again. But anyway back to Drama. They were being "nerds". So we had to make a talk show. We called ours Torcle's Talk show. The actual performance was not very funny but the planning was...unusual. Like my friend Sophie accidentally changing the pitch of her voice higher and lower every time and at one point she seemed to be glued to the floor. Not to mention she knocked me off my chair.

I'm never going to understand where we come up with these ideas to be honest I'm not sure I really want to know.

The last thing we're planning is me and my friend Jasmine are going to travel around as far as needed to buy her strawberry bonbons because she actually has never tried them! How, at 15, can you never have tried them, they are the nicest sweets ever?! Well, that’s my opinion.

In situations like these you have to laugh. You may not get the humour and I wouldn't blame you but, they're precious memories that we share which keeps us closely bonded. So, yeah, they do do some pretty weird things but I guess that's why I love them so much.
