"Are you insane?"

"Quiet please, Mr. Much." Much's head leant down to his book, to continue copying the notes.

"You invited Marion?" Much hissed a few minutes after, and Robin laughed softly but otherwise ignored him and continued to draw the motorbike he had nearly finished. He felt a hand snake around his waist and saw Jacinta sitting on his other side and tried to brush her off.

"Yes I did." Robin finally replied and looked to see Jacinta's face fall. They had been talking about Marion going to the bushlands for the past ten minutes of it- mainly Much hissing about how Robin always said it was their place and it was only meant to be guys. "Djaq goes there, doesn't she?" Robin responded which was when the math teacher caught Much for talking.

"Sometimes I don't understand you Robin." Much muttered and continued with his notes as Robin shaded the handlebars. They ran out of the room once the bell went, grabbing their bags as they met up with the rest of the boys to complain about the teacher's behaviour after their final lesson.

"Hey Fi!" Robin called and the girl walked over to him, smiling over her shoulder at her friends who were clapping lightly. "What are you doing this weekend?"

"Nothin'" She said flirtatiously, smiling up at him and twisting her toe on the ground. "Did you want to do something?"

"Sure. Text me with some suggestions tonight." He said and she nodded, not moving from the spot as he walked off.

"How do you do it Robin?" Allan asked in amazement, looking back at the girl, still waving at the group's backs.

"Where's the supplies?" Robin asked, ignoring both the girl and Allan's question. The kleptomaniac grinned and opened the lid of his bag, showing it filled with bags of chips, a bottle of coke, and several beer bottles.

"Seriously?" Djaq asked, her eyebrows raised. "You do the whole 'I'm a teenage badass cos I drink and smoke?"

"Hey, I'm eighteen." Allan defended and pointed to John who was walking up to them. "So is he. So we're like… you know, the legal guardians or what not."

"I know why you're eighteen in year twelve now." Djaq replied with a laugh from Will. Allan glared at both of them and Robin hit his head, reminding him to ignore them. They began the trudge up the hill to Sherwood woodlands- a place which used to be thought be full of beauty and the reason to move to Sherwood that was now just plain dark and creepy to people. It started where some guy half cut the rope at the top of the swing, and as soon as some girl sat on it, it broke and she hurt her leg.

"When's Marion meant to be coming?" John asked as he sat himself comfortably against a tree, his arms cushioning his head.

"Dunno…" Robin started, and wondered if she really was coming.

"Hello Marion." They all heard Much say, who had stalked off to sulk about a comment of Allan's. Robin leapt up, leaving the bottle on the ground and went over to the entrance of the woods. Marion had changed from her school uniform into jeans and a red shirt and Robin noticed the stone around her neck.

"You still wear that stupid thing?" He asked surprised, looking at the fake sapphire she first got on their year five camp.

"I like it…" She started, putting her hand on the stone. She looked up again, her eyes blazing, "Why am I here than Hood?" She asked viciously.

"Come on Edward, I wanted to hang out with you. Don't you remember how we were in primary school?" He reminded her and she stepped back as Robin reached to put his hand on her shoulder.

"Yes Robin I remember. I remembered that you never wrote to me when you were away. I remember that as soon as you came, I was so happy but then I saw that you didn't even know who I was. You even walked into me today and didn't make any difference from me to all those other bimbos you know." She hissed at him, so that the others would not hear and walked deeper into the forest to meet the others. "Djaq, hey." She greeted her friend and she began a conversation as Robin walked towards the group.

"Marion…" Robin started and she shook her head slightly. "Marion." He said, more confidently. People listened to him all the time- it would be no different with her.

"You should grow your hair," Marion continued, glaring at Robin behind her shoulder.

"Marion!"

"Robin, I don't want to talk right this minute and involve everyone in your stupid little life. You think that I will listen because I'm privileged enough that you know my name?" She turned away and he felt something he hadn't felt in a long time- embarrassment.

"I'm sorry."

"Yeah, you should be." She looked at her watch. "I've got to go meet up with Guy. I'm glad we caught up, even for this short time. I hardly see you at school anymore." She said to Djaq and gave everyone a comment except for Robin as she walked off, with promises to see them again.

After Robin watched her go behind the trees he slumped onto the ground and put his hands on his head. Allan passed him a cigarette which he put in his mouth and kept unlit, biting the end of it.

"Am I that much of an idiot?"

"Yes."

"No."

"A little."

"Worse."

"I dunno."

"Thanks guys." He said and took a swig of beer and closed his eyes. "Go away." He told someone who was tapping the toe of his shoe.

"Robin." His eyes shot open to see Much standing in front of him, his arms crossed. "Go get her." He instructed, trying to keep the nervousness out of his voice. Robin ignored him and closed his eyes once again.

"Go away." He instructed his friend again when he tapped his foot harder.

"You don't notice anything do you?"

"What?"

"Go follow her at least. Seer's picking her up from the road." Will shot in and Robin raised an eyebrow. Apparently they all knew something he didn't.

Marion was sitting on a barricade that separated the road from the park. One leg was swinging slightly and Robin sat behind a tree watching as she waited for the car she expected. Not soon after a revving noise was heard along with the bad music that normally follows. The girl stood up as the black car halted to a stop and a door was opened, the noise significantly increasing. It suddenly stopped and Robin tried to hear what was being said between the two.

"Where were you?"

"Just seeing some friends." She replied, her voice light while waiting to be able to sit in the car.

"Isn't this where Hood normally hangs out?" Guy asked and bent his head out the door, so that Robin could see the hair swinging in front of his eyes. Her shoulders slumped up and down in a shrug that was followed by an agree.

"But I was seeing Djaq, she's going out with one of Hood's friends." He got out of the car with a slam of a door and walked up to her.

"I don't care. Anyone who associates with Hood, you don't." He said, a decibel from screaming at her.

"So you say." She replied coolly. A second later, all Robin saw was his arm swing up before he jumped from the trees. Marion was lying on the ground when Robin's fist painfully collided with Guy's face. He was pleased to see the teen's face was split and blood was beginning to come out from the wound. Robin remembered the ring on his finger and saw the print on the other's face.

"You okay?" He asked Marion, helping her up. She nodded slightly and ducked suddenly as a fist swung by. It missed them both by nearly ten centimetres and it was only Guy tripping over, knocking Robin to the ground that made the captain of Locksley melt into a world of blackness.
