Parenting Lessons

Robin and Marian are in High School (Nothing to do with Lady Clarks Book challenge - I have already done one for that lol J

Robin waited on the garden fence as he did every morning as Marian emerged from her house and walked over to him. He smiled and winked at her, as they began walking of down the street to Nottingham High.

'So what did you do last night?' Marian asked.

'Nothing Much, just hung around with the lads. You?' He asked looking at her.

'I hung out with Djaq all the other girls were busy.' Marian stated.

'Sounds fun.' Robin said.

'Yeah well it was until she started going on and on about Will.' Marian and Robin laughed.

'Why can't those two just admit that they like each other.' Robin said. Little did he realise that he and that very girl he was walking with had that same problem. Only they didn't realise it.

They turned the corner and walked through the gates to school. On the grassy hill, they saw all their friends. Robin winked to Marian. 'See ya later.' He said and walked of to his gang of lads as Marian smiled and walked off to her girlfriends.

They were sat in form talking to each other. Marian turned to say something to Djaq, but noticed that she was concentrating on something else entirely. Marian followed her gaze until her eyes fell upon Will, who was talking to Robin. She sighed and shook her head.

Marian then got up and rose from her seat and began heading over to Will. Djaq's eyes widened in horror.

'Will could you swap places with me. I have to talk to Robin.' Marian smiled. Will nodded and moved to sit next to Djaq, as Marian sat in Will seat.

'So what did you want to talk to me about?' Robin asked frowning.

'Nothing. I just did that so those two could sit next to each other.' Marian nodded behind her to Will and Djaq.

Robin laughed and shook his head. 'You mean, you interrupted me discussing important football scores, so those two could blush at each other.'

'Well…Yes.' Marian replied.

'Well this is going to be fun' He sighed and looked out the window.

'No No. Come then, talk to me about football.' Marian offered. Great this is going to be fun she thought.

Robin looked at her and raised his eyebrows, in a are you kidding me? Kind of way.

Marian smiled and nudged him to do it. He shrugged.

'Right well you know Man United'

'Wait.' Marian interrupted him. 'I can't think what team that is. Name the cute players in it.' She asked.

Robin groaned and put his head on the table. Marian tried not to laugh and his exasperation.

Finally the lesson ended. Will and Djaq walked down to find Robin almost asleep on the table and Marian poking him, much to Robin's annoyance. But his fondness of the girl ,let him forget it, and even almost enjoy it.

'Robin, come on.' Will nudged him to try and get him to sit up. But he didn't.

'Wander what you got up to last night that makes you so tired' Will joked. Robin looked up at him and frowned tiredly, rubbing his eye.

'I was with you and the guys last night Will.' Robin replied. Will stopped laughing and went silent at having his own joke thrown back in his face.

'Come on Robin, we have a free period next.' Marian said smiling. Reluctantly Robin got up and began leaving with his friends.

They were sat in the common room. Marian was sitting on the couch with Robin's head on her lap, she was softly playing with his hair. Allan and Will were sitting playing the play station nudging each other with their elbows, while Much was trying to get John to open a jar of pickles. Djaq was sat in a corner reading a book on medicine. They had all laughed earlier when Much had attempted to read the title.

Marian smiled at Robin who sat curled up in her lap, like a little baby.

'What are you doing tonight?' He asked causing Marian to jump, as she believed that he was asleep.

'Nothing planned yet.'

'Why don't you come round to mine and we can watch a film or something.' Robin asked.

'How about you come to mine. My parents are going out at 7.'

Robin nodded.

Later that night Marian was sitting on her bed. Her parents had just gone out, and she was waiting for Robin to come. As usual he would climb in through the window as he had done since they were kids. Just as she thought that she heard scrapping outside her window and smiled knowing who it was. Then his face appeared and he smiled and climbed in. She smiled also and walked over to him and gave him a quick kiss. Their relationship was strange. They kissed and hugged each other, yet if anyone asked them if they were dating, they said they didn't. But neither one would go out with someone else. It had all happened a few months ago. She had been at the park with Robin. They had been sitting on those things that people spin to try and make you dizzy. Robin had spun it gently then had climbed on and had sat in front of her on the bars. They had gazed at each other intently until they had both reached forward and kissed. But they didn't stop the little kissed turned into a passionate one.

Marian had thought that it had just been the dizziness and thought that it was something that they would laugh about the next day. However, it wasn't they had kissed again, not in front of anyone, but little sly and stolen kisses. And Marian was surprised that she actually liked being kissed by Robin, and now couldn't bare to see him with someone else.

Robin smiled and held up a DVD. 'The Grudge' Great she thought any excuse to have her curled up to him.

He smiled and walked over to the DVD player, and put the film in. He turned to find Marian already laying in her bed. He smiled and went and lay down next her and pulled her into his arms.

Half way through the movie, Marian was petrified and Robin was secretly happy that Marian kept curling up closer to him.

'Robin?' She asked him quietly.

'Hmm'

'What's happening here?' She asked finally bringing the topic up.

'Sarah Michelle Gellar's trying to find out what's in that house, but the police don't believe her.' Robin said casually.

'No, not the film. I mean what's happening here…with us?' She said leaning up to look at him. He frowned and paused the film.

'What do you mean?' He asked confused.

'This..Us. Kissing.'

'I am still confused. Do you want me to tell you what kissing is?'

'No Robin! I mean are we together…or are we…not together?' Marian asked getting frustrated.

'I don't know. Do you want to be?' Robin said. What had brought this on he wandered.

'Oh cause that makes me feel good.' She shouted.

'Marian! What's wrong why are you yelling at me?!' Robin asked sitting up.

'Because I want to know how you feel. About us! About this situation!' She yelled.

'You want to know how I feel then fine! I do care about you and thought of you being with another man hurts so much I can't even think about it. And yes I do want to be with you. I have wanted to ask you out for so long, but I've never thought that I was good enough for you!.' He yelled. 'There does that make you happy?' He asked more quietly.

Marian sat in shock. He wanted to be with her. Marian quickly moved forward and kissed Robin passionately, and he quickly responded to the kiss. He gently lowered her back onto the bed and lay on top of her. She wrapped her arms around him, and he moved his to her waist.

Later that night Robin awoke at the sound of the front door being closed. Marian's parents. Robin looked down at the sleeping Marian wrapped in his arms. He gently crawled out of the covers and looked for his clothes. He had to get out of there, before her parents found him.

He quickly got dressed and gave Marian a quick kiss on the head, and began climbing out of the window.

The next morning Robin was in his usual spot, leaning on Marian's garden fence, waiting for her to come out of the house. He heard the door open, and turned to see Marian smiling heading down her garden path towards him. He smiled and held out his hand for her. She smiled and accepted it gladly. They walked to school in silence, looking at each other and smiling every now and again. Then they heard the school bell ring, and they both looked at each other in shock and then began dashing for the school.

Will and Allan were sitting in form, wondering where Robin was, and also Marian. Will had been worried it was not like Marian to be late for school. Allan however, had completely different thoughts of why the two were missing running through his head. He smirked at Will who shook his head. Suddenly the door burst open and in came Robin and Marian puffing out of breath. Marian went and sat with the girls and Robin went and sat with the boys.

'Ok class. Today maths has been cancelled.' The class erupted in cheers. 'As you have a Sex Education lesson.' Everyone stopped cheering and looked annoyed. The only one who was smiling was Allan who was also rubbing his hands together, happily. Causing Will to nod his head John and Much to look away and Robin to smirk.

Marian and the girls were all a little shocked, as the bell went and they headed to their first lesson - Sex Ed.

Please Review - ch. 2 should be up soon.
