Amelia left last night, and she’s going for 6 weeks :S

When are we doing that little lit get together/reunion thang? Cause isn’t Nat and Liam leaving soon? And is Vicky back from leavers yet? And isn’t Amelia going off on holiday soon too? DD:?

I don’t need one there any more, or back..

Amelia’s mum is taking me back, thankyou Des.

And yepp I can take you to the drama exam, but you have to ask Chris’ parents about the lift back (I’m sure it’ll be fine) Coz they’re taking me home :)
