katherine and the roller disco


There's a girl who thinks she's from Brixton having volume control issues. Stop. Shouting. I don't care about Leeroy and Chayanne.

She thinks she's from Brixton but everyone knows she's from Fratton.

A fitness fanatic jus sat next to me. In a waterproof jacket. Lycra legging things. And helmet. She smells of trying to hard.

She's not wearing any makeup and her hair is cropped. She takes herself way too seriously to care about her appearance.

And she wonders why John never takes her to fancy restaurants?

John's away on a business trip. She trusts him. She shouldn't. He's not cheating but he's thinking about the relationship.

Is it really going anywhere? Katherine is career focussed and insecure. And he thinks she might be gay.

A lady is talking about the roller disco she went to at the weekend. She's talking about the politics about roller discos.

She's been once. She is now an expert.

Now listing every single injury she sustained. Stretched arm. Aching shoulder. Potential fractured finger (suspect this is an exaggeration)

I wonder if telling her companion five times how long they skated for and how much it cost is enough? Apparently not.

I can't stop thinking about my umbrella.
