Getting better again.

Katie didn't feel very well when she woke up in the morning. She is usually a happy person who doesn't let anything get to her but she was starting to wonder if moving to Riverview was a good idea after all. She liked having a place of her own but she didn't have to move out of the town as well. "I knew nearly everyone there and I was happy."

But then she remembered; she didn't have much independence because she lived with her parents who wanted to know everything, her job wasn't going anywhere and then there was all the memories of her 4 year relationship and the way it ended...


Work was rather uneventful and a bit boring Katie had to admit. That is until the end of the day. "I've only been here a week and I've been promoted AGAIN?? I know I'm good but I didn't think I was that good" she said to her boss. "You wouldn't have been given it if we didn't think you deserved it" was her bosses reply. "Keep it up and you'll be editor in no time" Katie bounced out of the office and carried on bouncing all the way home.


A letter was waiting for her when she got home. After opening it she saw it was an invitation to Walter Grisbys party that evening. "How different could today and yesterday be?" Katie thought, excitably. Then she noticed the dress code- Formal Dress. Because she has just moved Katie didn't have a lot of clothes at the moment. At her parents house she had so many clothes they started to take over the spare room as well as her own!  Her mum had persuaded Katie to leave some behind so she could get them when she had enough space. After hunting out something she thought would be formal enough (the Grisby house was in a posh neighbourhood) Katie only just had time to quickly grab something to eat and and have a quick shower before the party started.

There were quite a few people already at the party when Katie arrived, some she knew, some she didn't. After talking to a few people she already knew, she decided to make some new friends. She mingled and chatted away for most of the night, ending up talking to George Dean. They seemed to click straight away and talked about so much for the rest of the night. The only down side was once again he was already taken. "I like George and I think we're going to be good friends" thought Katie as she listened to George chatting away. "But I want a boyfriend, not just another best friend. Are there any single men in Riverview at all?" But this time she wasn't sad at the thought and when she finally got home she fell into a happy sleep.
