Dilemma: The Ex-Beanie

Can you help Lily?

Aaaah! I am in the worst mess EVER. 😱 I really hope everyone’s got their thinking caps on today. Literally.

Ok so here’s the thing.

Ever since Matt moved away, I am completely over him obviously. Rob is definitely the one for me. 💙💜

The thing is I may have accidentally sort of kept Matt’s old beanie hat to remember him by.

Not in a weird way or anything. I just like holding it and sighing and thinking about Matt’s gorgeous eyes, his hair, the way he used to roll his hat up and wear it to one side… Sorry what was I saying? 😳

Look, I know what you’re all thinking but I didn’t know this would happen. I mean, it’s just a hat, right? 

That was until Rob found the hat in my locker!

I had a total panic and told Rob it was my brother’s hat. 

Just when I thought I was safe, the worst happened… Rob asked if he could borrow it!!!! I tried to talk him out of it. I even suggested he lend me his favourite scarf in return, hoping he would say no, but that didn’t work either! (He was so happy to swap! Why does he have to be so kind?) 😫

As I type Rob is walking around school, with no idea that he is wearing my old boyfriend’s hat. What is Rob going to say if he finds out? 

76% of you voted yes!

Thanks to everyone who suggested ways of sneaking the hat back from Rob. 😃

You guys had some brilliant ideas about how to do it! 👏 I decided to tell Rob that Mr Malone wanted to see him urgently, and then quickly grabbed the hat out of his bag while he was gone. Kind of sneaky I know but I was desperate.😖

So the good news is the hat is now safely back in my locker. The bad news?

Rob thinks it has been stolen! 😨

Look what he’s put all over school!

I mean these posters are everywhere. 😨 He’s told all the teachers, he’s even hired Jas to investigate. 😱

If I don’t come clean soon this pesky hat is going to end up on the news. 📰

The way I see it I have two choices. I can either;-

Watch and wait as this thing gets completely out of hand.✋

Or

Tell Rob he’s been wearing my ex boyfriend’s hat all week. 🎩

Or… Something else?!

HEEELP!

Any other suggestions of how I can get out of this mess?! 😫

I am so happy this week is over! 😀

Thanks again for your brilliant advice everyone. I could not have got through it without you guys. 😚

So, I took Rob to his favourite ice cream place🍨, sat him down and prepared to tell him everything… Until he stopped me. He said he had something to say. 😲

It turns out I’m not the only one who keeps stuff from their exes💔. Remember that scarf Rob lent me on Monday? That used to belong to one of his old girlfriends too! I mean, thinking about it, I should have guessed really…

He said her name was Poppy Hammond and he never forgot her. I’m not jealous though. After all, he was only 7! 😊
