"so how'd the tests go"Becky said beckoning Simon to the table with Bruce,Kerry(who Simon fell in love with at first site),James,Gabrielle,mike and Dana.

"good"he said siting down with a naan bread smothered in mayonnaise with salad and 3 portions of bacon.

"try great you've got to pass basic training "Bruce said showing Simon a bone sticking out of skin it was his rib but not broken just torn flesh .

"dude get that stuff away from me!" James yelled getting a waft of mayonnaise everyone laughed and Kerry invited Simon to sit next to him and he happily sat there in case a fight broke between him and James. Simon finished him dinner quickly and went to get seconds "brings us back a Donner kebab,no mayo" James said

Bruce called after for same but with mayonnaise.

"pigs!" Lauren screamed from her table at James,Bruce and Simon.

"three Donner kebabs 2 with mayonnaise and 1 without"Simon asked.

After Lauren screamed James and Bruce stared aghast while Simon called back saying thanks which left everyone shocked.

"what didn't you know pigs are some of the cleanest animals around" he said wolfing down his kebab.

"you have quite an appetite for someone so small." Kerry said sounding impressed

"i never used to be when my family was around i hardly ate anything I'm kinda amazed at myself"he replied looking down at what he'd just eaten. " night guys" he said going to his room he'd had nothing so they gave him a room immediately.

it was morning and Simon realized he had no clothes but the one on his back and had to go into town he invited his friends who all went after picking up several clothes including a tuxedo, 3 pairs of board shorts, 2 hoodies and several t-shirts and trousers he went over to Game where James got a ps3 Simon got an xbox 360 and Nintendo ds ,Kerry asked if she could get a ds but everyone but Simon laughed "ahhh Kerry and video games thats the funniest thing I've heard yet."James giggled

"I'm serious." Kerry sighed

"yeah and thats your problem your always serious" James replied

"shut up before i reconsider my generosity to you James and yes you can Kerry" Simon screamed moving to the till to pay for the stuff and moving on to hmv where he bought a new iPod and some albums like dan le sac vs scroobius pip "angles" Electric Light Orchestra and Savage garden.

"good thing theres a lot of us to carry this stuff before leading the guys and girls to the bus.

Before long Simon's room was full of stuff including a big HDTV which they got in hills the electric appliances store on the way back to campus.

"lets shove this puppie in" Simon declared pointing towards a brand new copy of halo 3

"yeah !" James and Bruce nodded in sync

"um Simon how does this work?" Kerry asked referencing the ds

"oh you need to charge it up for how many hours it says in the manual" he sighed "i thought it was guys that ignored the manual." James and Bruce gigged

"thanks i just kind of blanked I'll go charge it" Kerry thanked.

in a few weeks Simon was going to start cherubs grueling basic training he thought he'd get on thew good side of the training instructors by showing up early, he was horribly wrong instead it just gave them an excuse to bully him. the next 100 days were going to be tough but he had no idea what was about to happen...
