A/N: I know it's been a while but omg GCSE REVISION GUYS.
Ronnie watched as Filkins threw a stone at a pedestrian, and then sped off in his black Mustang '69 before they could even turn around. They were bunking off, courtesy of the embarrassment from the day before and test he had in Workshop. They slowed at the corner where a very attractive blonde was crossing the street. Filkins leant out the window and gave her a wolf whistle. She turned and winked at him, offering a cute wave and continuing to walk off.
So he still had it. So why didn't Anna want it?
Yeah, she had kissed him, but then she had humiliated him in front of the whole school. Well, maybe not the whole school but he hated being made fun of. But he also admired her for standing up for herself, the kid had spunk. No matter how much he drank or shouted out he couldn't free his mind from the feeling of her heavenly lips on his. He had never experienced anything like it before. And he wanted more.
Filkins gripped the steering wheel tighter when he thought back to that moment when the back of his legs hit that trash bin. The burning desire fused with hatred had singed his veins. He slammed his foot down on the accelerator and shot through two sets of traffic lights. Ronnie chuckled, leaning back and holding on to the top of the open window. They zoomed along the street, passing shops and houses and skate parks.
They drove along to the beach and sat smoking with the windows rolled down for about an hour.
"Hey, I'm hungry." Ronnie muttered.
"Well, let's go get somethin' then." Filkins replied, flicking his stub out onto the pavement.
"I haven't got any money, have you?" Ronnie turned his head in Filkins' direction.
"Nah." He answered as his gaze swept over the horizon.
"Well we better go back to school then. At least they have free food." Ronnie grunted.
"I already told you I'm not going back in there." Filkins growled.
"I'm hungry." Ronnie growled back.
Filkins didn't have the energy to stare him down so he gave in, speeding rapidly off back towards the school.

A beam of light glanced down on Anna's worksheet. She moved her paper so the corner was in the sunshine. She then proceeded to draw a skull, weaving in poison ivy along the jaw. David leaned over and murmured something along the lines of, we really should be getting on with the third question, but she ignored him.
Anna felt a sense of dread deep inside her gut. With the passing of yesterday's events she didn't for one moment think that there wouldn't be repercussions. In all honesty Anna was immensely glad both Filkins and Ronnie hadn't been sighted this morning by either her or David. A slow ache sat deep in the back of her head from the half bottle of vodka she consumed yesterday. She usually didn't suffer from hangovers but this one was getting to her.
At break Anna had nothing interesting to do, so she grabbed David and decided to follow Filkins for a little while, just to see what his daily routine was like. David kept reminding her that she was treading on very thin ice but Anna wanted to find out more about him. What made him tick. Also what made him angry, which she would duly take note of and try to avoid doing in the future.
They kept a fair distance behind, Anna watching Filkins and David watching Ronnie with a very worried expression. The bell sounded out as they turned a corner.
"C'mon, Anna!" David urged her.
Anna didn't reply, but instead walked over to a first grader who was opening their locker and told them to walk away. She pretended to get something out, hiding her face but all the while staring at Filkins. She looked past them and saw the three terrified kids from the first day.
"Hey, look!" Ronnie said, taking his sunglasses off and grinning, "The Siamese Queers had a baby."
"I guess that makes them triplets now, doesn't it?" Filkins added in a low voice. Anna could see he was playing with his food. It sent an unwelcome shiver down her neck.
"Well, actually, we still wouldn't be triplets, see, they'd be my parents and I'd be the baby-" Emmett started.
"Don't get smart with me." Filkins cut across him, and Anna could imagine the dangerous glint in his eye, "I said you're triplets and I think you need to get into his shirt, and be triplets."
Anna watched as they cowered in front of them, not nearly as tall. It was like three children going up against two fully grown men.
"We can do that." Emmett said, desperately wanting to leave without getting seriously injured.
"You know what?" Ryan pushed Emmett aside, "Emmett, shut up, look, do you really have to do this crap, guys? C'mon, give us a break - it's the second day at school!"
Anna's heart beat a little faster, knowing they wouldn't have enjoyed being talked back to. She watched as Filkins and Ronnie simultaneously cocked their heads to one side.
"Hey, I like this kid," Ronnie growled, a smile still on his face. He shoved Ryan on the shoulder, Filkins and Ronnie walking them back into the lockers, "Yeah...double-stuff's got an attitude."
Anna heard their bags make contact with the lockers. The little office that Anna had asked for help in not long ago shut its blinds, not wanting to be involved in any way with what might happen next.
"Yeah," Filkins leant down over Ryan, Ronnie right next to him, "We have to this shit, because it's hilarious." He stepped right to hover over Emmett, "This school, is boring, watching you freak out," He moved onto Wade, "Amuses me, and yeah...it's just the second day of school," Filkins moved back to Emmett who was rocking back and forward, "So guess what, it's gonna keep coming," Filkins said to Ryan, "And coming," He leaned right into Emmett, "And coming!" His hand shot out to grab Wade around the neck and hold him still. He brought up another hand and flicked him on the forehead, a smirk on his lips.
"Filkins!" Anna shouted before she could stop herself. David ran away faster than she would have thought possible.
Why the fuck did I just do that.
"Well, look what we have here." Filkins said as he turned to face her. Ronnie spun around as well. The other three sprinted off down the corridor. Anna turned but no one was there. The second bell rung and nearly everyone were already in their lessons. Anna was glad she could save the first graders but now she was the centre of the attention. Not exactly what she had wanted.
"Right," Anna started, closing the locker and edging backwards, "I should really be off to my next lesson..." She whipped around and started to speed walk to her next lesson.
Filkins decided to let it go, just enjoying the swaying of her hips as she went out of view.

At lunch she joined her friends and went off to the library. Not her choice. They were crowded around the Folk Lore and Occult section. Anna chuckled when she found out there was one.
As the others pored over books explaining the pentagram, Anna watched the kid, who was nearly shut in a locker, work on his laptop. She zoned out, following his little hands moving deftly over the keyboard. Suddenly, a figure came along out from an aisle and poured his drink all over the keypad. Anna broke out of her daze as her eyes shot up to see Filkins as he smirked. Steam rose from the laptop as he squeaked, eyes wide.
Ana dived behind the bookcase and peered around the edge.
"What are you doing?" Joseph murmured in a deep voice.
"Nothing." Anna replied, blushing guiltily.
"You're looking at Terry, aren't you?" He said in a low, almost bored, tone.
"I, er- NO!" She exclaimed finally.
"Then what are you looking at?"
"I, erm, well I was looking at-"
"You were looking at him, weren't you?"
"Shut up, Joseph." She snapped.
Anna glared at him before straightening and walking past him as casually as possible. Her 'friends' probably wouldn't notice if she slipped out anyway. She exited the library and met up with David outside who walked her to the canteen. She was at the end of the queue and had paid when Filkins was standing in front of her. He blocked her way as she tried to scoot past.
"What?" Anna snapped.
"You wanna go out sometime?" He asked, arms folded and looming over her.
Anna's jaw dropped a little. What did he just say? She recovered quickly though and tried to answer his question with indifference.
"Not with you I don't." Anna answered, trying once again to side-step him. David was behind Filkins, looking at the ground as Ronnie leaned over him.
"Well what's wrong with me?" His blue eyes burnt hers. Anna scoffed, did he really just say that?
"Well, apart from being incredibly stupid and ignorant, you're also arrogant, selfish, spiteful, narrow-minded and a bully." She finished, her cheeks slightly pink with the effort of ranting.
Filkins looked taken aback for a second, "You like getting high?" He narrowed his eyes and let a small smile creep up onto his face.
Anna answered unconvincingly, "No."
"Come meet me outside my car after school, I'll set you up with some real grade A shit." He winked before walking past her, Ronnie following.
"But what if I don't-"
"See you there." Filkins called over his shoulder. Anna huffed, gently pushing David along as they walked over to his usual table. She couldn't face Joseph and the rest of her new friends right now.
Filkins strode away victorious, he had scored a date with the exact person he wanted all alone. Well, she may not think it was a date but Filkins had something in store for her that she would definitely not expect.
