“He’s stick thin with tight red-and-white checked trousers, black high-heeled slingback shoes, a girl’s fitted jacket that’s too tight, all topped off with fluffy, backcombed hair. The building students erupt at this spectacle, shouting and cat-calling, but he ignores them and struts confidently to the middle of the canteen queue, pushing in to join his mate.

I just know this boy’s going to be my friend; even though my look isn’t as extreme as his, I like his bravery and style, he’s my kind of person. I make eye contact with him and burst out laughing. I laugh with a mixture of recognition and relief because I know our friendship is inevitable, we’re obviously like-minded people so we may as well get straight to it and dispense with the slow polite phase of getting to know each other. But I’ve offended him and my laughter is met with a wounded expression.

So I say, ‘Hello, I’m Viv.’

In a soft voice with a South London accent, the boy replies: 'Mick Jones.’ (x)
