 Well, you just could not find a more annoying person than Tina Titmus.
For as long as Chubbly could remember she had been there right behind
him, almost every day of his life, pestering the living daylights out of
him. Chubbly had named her Tina ‘tenacious’ Titmus! She always had to
be correct every single time, even when more often than not, she wasn’t.
Tina always had to be better than everyone else, as second place was
just not her style. Poor Chubbly has suffered her for too many years. She
really didn’t need to say much at all to wind him up to the point of
explosion. Far too frequently she made Chubbly’s blood boil. Trying to
explain anything to her was just a waste of time, and explaining the
reason why she wasn’t correct just fell upon deaf ears. When Chubbly
started his first primary school, there she was, sat right behind him on
one of those little chairs pushed under a small coloured wooden table,
dressed in those same silly denim dungarees, the style that she still
wore to this day. Even then her long shiny black hair was plaited into
two enormous great Catherine Wheels, which looked as though they were
stapled to either side of her head, (probably the very reason she
couldn’t hear a thing!)
She even wore that same metal brace, which she still continued to wear
to this very day. Why she even bothered to wear it was beyond Chubbly,
the dental treatment must have cost her parents a fortune, and Tina’s
teeth, both top and bottom, still protruded as much today as they did
nearly nine years ago. In fact it’s quite possible that they even stick
out a little further today than they did back then, thought Chubbly.
There was no doubting that Tina Titmus was indeed a very clever girl,
but unfortunately she had always used her cleverness in the most sneaky
and crafty ways possible. In other words, for Tina there just weren’t
any rules to play by, and if things could be cleverly twisted in order
to make her appear the best, then she had become the master of
manipulation.Continuing with this kind of behaviour made Tina a pretty
lonely girl, and it soon became apparent that when it came to friends,
Tina had very few.
