‘Sometimes I think Seymour’s the same. I never feel
quite good enough, if I’m honest. But Nishi loves you – she really loves you. She thinks you’re amazing. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to her. Honestly,
since she met you, she’s been a way nicer person. I mean, she’s always been nice, but . . . You know what I mean!’
‘Sure.’ She sounds hesitant.
‘You do love her as well. Don’t you?’
‘Oh, Chew – I really do. So much.
So
much. She’s the coolest person I’ve ever met, and she’s really beautiful and clever – how could I not? I think
it’s my fault; I’m crap at speaking up for myself. I’m going to work on it. I wanted to start with telling you what I thought. Next, maybe I can even tell Nishi!’
We both laugh, both relieved.
‘Well, maybe I can help you,’ I suggest. ‘I’m used to standing up to Nishi and her craziness. I’ll give you lessons.’
‘Do you know what? That sounds great. It’s really helped talking to you, Chew – thanks. We should hang out more, just the two of us sometimes. I ought to start spreading my
wings a bit.’
‘Yeah, that’d be cool,’ I agree.
For the first time today, I feel like I’m doing something right and not everyone is against me. The least I can do is help Nishi and Anna out. Maybe Nish will start being a bit nicer and
seeing things from my point of view if I can heroically save the day and help to solve her relationship problems.
‘Anyway . . .’ Anna changes the subject with a sly grin. ‘Enough about me. I don’t know if you know this, but I’m a big Sour Apple fan as well.’
‘Right . . . ?’ I hope I’m not going to get it in the neck again; I’m kind of over discussing this subject for one evening.
‘So I’ve been doing a bit of research and I really think your mystery commenter
is
the real Jackson Griffith.’ Her eyes are shining and she sounds almost as excited as
I have been. ‘The style of writing, everything he says – it fits. And he’s known for randomly chatting to fans and stuff like that; this is just the sort of thing he would do.
It’s not that crazy an idea.’
At last. Someone. I haven’t told anyone about the photo with the driving licence, or the emails that Jackson and I have been exchanging since. All anybody knows about are the public
comments on my blog, and just that has caused enough of a backlash – Seymour and Nishi have made their position clear and I haven’t even wanted to tell my mum for fear of her reaction.
This is so huge and I have been forced to keep it totally to myself – which is
so
not me.
It might be stupid and childish of me, but suddenly the urge to spill is too much. Even if this is a very risky thing to admit to my disapproving best friend’s girlfriend.
‘Anna, can you keep a secret?’

Hey there Ruby Tuesday!
I’m stoked that you replied to my email. I don’t wanna repeat myself and start boring you, but I really think that you’re a cool girl. And they’re rare around these
parts, believe me.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but you remind me of my sisters. The kind of girls I grew up with, before things got so crazy . . .
I loved those interview questions that you sent me. But I have a better idea. Maybe.
So, this is top secret and I’m probably nuts but I have the weirdest feeling that I can trust you. I maybe mentioned that I have been working on some new solo tunes. Man, this is top
secret!! And I mean TOP secret.
Anyway, I like it over in Europe and I’m kind of bored of LA. Don’t know if you’ve ever been here but it’s a pretty boring place. Scratch that – I shouldn’t
say it in case that means you don’t ever want to come here and visit me! LA’s GREAT! Honest! Shangri-LA, baby!
So, I feel like it’s time for a change of scene. Overdue, in fact. My management’s lining up some secret appearances for me in the UK. Good old Blighty as you would
