CHAPTER 2 (The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole)

Adrian goes to the doctor for his spot, but he doesn't say or prescribe anything. The dog destroys Mrs Lucas' path and she has an argument with Adrian's mother. Adrian helps poor too and he gives his comics to a family.

In the next weeks, Mr and Mrs Lucas get a divorce. Adrian's mother looks for a job and she finds one with Mr Lucas. His father is very jealous and he's angry. Adrian is afraid because if his mother gets a job, she doesn't look after Adrian and his father. He thinks that his mother is selfish and he doesn't know that she is into Mr Lucas. Besides he has to help Mr Baxter: a weird and eighty-nine-year-old man with a dog.

He is worried with all its troubles. But the most horrible thing is that Nigel is going out with Pandora! Adrian falls ill when he knows this. He is very sad. Adrian thinks a lot about it. He doesn’t want to do anything. He is ruined. And, of course, he hates Nigel.
