Everyone thinks they know who I am - ditzy Sarah, who cares more about appearances than she does about anything real. And yeah, I do care about what people think of me.
Take my friends Alex and Rachel. We all go to Strandbrook College, Dublin. We re supposed to be best friends. But Alex and Rachel - they re really close. They tell each other things that they would never tell me. I try not to mind.
And then there s Simon. He s my sort-of boyfriend but we hardly see each other. And when we do, I feel like he doesn t really see me, you know?
Everything s such a mess right now. My dad left us to be with Her; my mum is really angry all the time; and my brother Louis, he just doesn t care.
I guess that s why the shoplifting started. It makes me feel good. In control.
I just want everything to change. And it does. The day I got caught . . .
