I quickly wiped my face, pulled on a clean jumper, brushed my hair and finished off with some tinted lip balm and a spritz of body spray. \u2018I\u2019m in my room,\u2019 I called. I heard their footsteps come up the stairs and then there was a knock at my door. \u2018Come in,\u2019 I said as casually as I could manage. Molly and Poppy opened the door and stood there looking dead guilty. \u2018We\u2019re really sorry, Lotts,\u2019 said Poppy, \u2018We didn\u2019t tell you we were seeing Amber because we were worried it might upset you.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re sooooooooo sorry,\u2019 continued Molly. \u2018I know bumping into you like that made it look bad \u2026\u2019 I sighed. \u2018It did look bad. It felt like you were lying and doing it behind my back. And I know I said maybe you guys should make friends with Amber, but I didn\u2019t know you were going to hang out with TUMGG too.\u2019 \u2018We didn\u2019t plan on that either,\u2019 said Poppy.<\/p>\n

\u2018They just always seem to be there.\u2019 \u2018It\u2019s not that we like them or anything,\u2019 protested Molly, \u2018but if we\u2019re going to try to get Amber back, we\u2019ll probably have to hang out with them a bit.\u2019 \u2018A bit?!\u2019 I exclaimed. \u2018You both went totally AWOL on me and Jess yesterday.\u2019 \u2018I think that was my fault,\u2019 said Poppy sadly.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was so happy that Amber was talking to me again that I think I got a bit overexcited.\u2019 I felt myself softening. \u2018I get it \u2013 but I\u2019d rather you\u2019d have been honest about it.\u2019 Poppy nodded. \u2018I know, and you are SO right, but we were trying not to hurt your feelings.\u2019 Molly sat down on the edge of my bed. \u2018And, stupidly, I think we hurt them even more.\u2019 \u2018You did,\u2019 I said. \u2018Will you forgive us?\u2019<\/p>\n

asked Poppy with a hopeful smile on her face. \u2018I\u2019m not sure,\u2019 I said, but I knew it didn\u2019t sound convincing. Man, it was almost impossible to stay mad at these two. \u2018What if we told you we had KitKat Chunkys?\u2019 Molly grinned and pulled a couple of multipacks out of her bag. \u2018I\u2019ve actually already had one,\u2019 I said, folding my arms and pouting but struggling to stop the smile escaping from the corners of my lips. \u2018Since when do you only eat ONE KitKat Chunky?\u2019<\/p>\n

said Poppy, like it was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard. \u2018Also,\u2019 said Molly, \u2018you\u2019ll have definitely had more than one already!\u2019 I quickly picked up all the wrappers from my bedroom floor. \u2018I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about,\u2019 I said, laughing. Then we all sat on my bed, ate KitKats, played with the hammies, and the girls filled me in on their afternoon. They went to get manicures at a posh hotel \u2013 apparently Amber paid and it was REALLY amazing (apart from me not being there, obvs).<\/p>\n

KATIE KIRBY is a writer and illustrator who lives by the sea in Hove with her husband, two sons and dog, Sasha. She has a degree in advertising and marketing, and after spending several years working in London media agencies, which basically involved hanging out in fancy restaurants and pretending to know what she was talking about, she had some children and decided to start a blog called \u2018Hurrah for Gin\u2019 about the gross injustice of it all.<\/p>\n

Many people said her sense of humour was silly and immature, so she then started writing the Lottie Brooks series. Katie likes gin, rabbits, overthinking things, the smell of launderettes and Monster Munch. She does not like losing at board games or writing about herself in the third person.<\/p>\n

OceanofPDF.com OceanofPDF.com To Carmen and Chloe, the dream-team editor-and-agent combo, who have been there since the very start of Lottie\u2019s adventures. Thank you for believing in her as much as me! PS OMG, how are we on book eight already?! OceanofPDF.com THURSDAY 16 FEBRUARY Since Bella turned one, she has also turned quite bitey. It\u2019s particularly concerning because Mum goes back to work soon and Bella is going to start at Happy Teddies Nursery, where she will be free to inflict her vampirish reign on the other unsuspecting babies.<\/p>\n

She has eight teeth now, and I know this because I counted the number of indents she left on my arm this morning! You see, I was just minding my own business \u2026 watching TV on the sofa \u2026 and she waddled over, clamped her jaws on my left arm and WOULD NOT let go. I tried to pull her off, but unfortunately she has a super-firm grip, and the more I tried to prise her mouth open, the harder she chomped down.<\/p>\n

I might add that she was also squealing with delight! Eventually, Mum appeared to find out what all the commotion was. \u2018Awww,\u2019 she said, looking at us lovingly. \u2018What do you mean, awww?\u2019 I said. \u2018It\u2019s not at all awww. She\u2019s trying to take a chunk out of my arm, and it actually REALLY hurts!\u2019 \u2018Oh, I see \u2026<\/p>\n

I thought she was kissing you. Bella, it\u2019s not very kind to bite, is it?\u2019 said Mum. \u2018EEEE!\u2019 squealed Bella. \u2018Mum, she doesn\u2019t understand you \u2013 just get her off!\u2019 \u2018I\u2019m trying to practise gentle parenting, Lottie.\u2019 \u2018What does that even mean?\u2019 \u2018It means staying calm and rational,\u2019 Mum explained.<\/p>\n

Then she turned to Bella and said in a really gentle voice, \u2018We don\u2019t bite, do we? Because biting is \u2013\u2019 \u2018EEEEEEEEEEE!\u2019 squealed Bella again. \u2018\u2013 not very kind and it can \u2013\u2019 \u2018EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!\u2019 \u2018Muuuuuuum, it\u2019s hurting!\u2019 Mum sighed and tried (and struggled) to remove Bella from my arm.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
