So as promsied Gisborne is in this chapter but be warned he's not exactly...nice...
Louise spent the rest of the evening talking about everything and nothing with Mikey, glad to be around a friend that weren't also Robin's. He had short black hair and bright green eyes and spent more time on his hair than Louise did getting ready but he was her best friend and he loved him like a brother. They chatted and gossiped, watched films and ate junk food; Michael being 'oh so helpful' by pointing out the hot men on the TV.
When she finally went home the next day no one said anything about the record deal, Robin didn't mention it and neither did Louise. Now the gang knew that they were both going to explode at some point, and dreaded the day that they would, but both Robin and Louise acted as if nothing had happened and they were that way until the end of the holidays, much to the gang's concern.
.
"I hate school." Allan groaned as they walked through the red brick building three days later.
"Well unfortunately for you," Marian commented. "You have to stay in full time education until the age of eighteen."
"I hate the government." Allan groaned. "David-bloody-Cameron and Nick-fucking-Clegg."
"Now you're starting to sound like my dad." Will warned as they climbed the stairs to their lockers.
"Still, it's a joke." Allan complained. "I've spent the past thirteen years of my life in school learning about things that I'll never need."
"Yeah well in four months we'll be in LA," Much said, "And only occasionally doing work." The gang all looked worriedly at Robin who just gave them a look.
"I'm not going to go off on one just because you mention LA," Robin told them. "And Louise said she was fine with it." Marian made a noncommittal sound in the back of her throat at that as Allan looked round in confusion.
"Where is Little Locksley?" He asked in confusion.
"She had to talk to Mr Matthews about something." Djaq said.
"Why's she talking to the head?" Will asked and they looked at each other, shrugging as none of them knew what why she had to talk to the headteacher.
They reached their lockers and began piling books, that they wouldn't need until later that day, into the small metal boxes.
"Aw thats minging." Allan groaned, taking something out of his locker. Everyone turned to look at Allan and all recoiled as they saw what he was holding between his thumb and forefinger. Allan lent forward and hesitantly sniffed the bagged mouldy sandwich, flinching backwards as the smell reached his nose.
"That is revolting." Much complained, looking at Allan with a sense of disgust. Allan grinned and waved the bag in Much's face, taking joy in the horrified noise that made it's way out of Much's throat.
"Allan what is it?" Djaq asked, locking her locker and turning to her friend.
"I think it was a cheese sandwich." Robin replied, shutting his own locker as Allan dumped it in the bin.
"Three O'clock." Will muttered as the gang picked up their bags. They turned to see Gisborne and a few of his friends walking towards them.
"Don't let him wind you up Robin," Marian murmured quietly to him, "Just walk away. You really don't want to get into trouble on the first day back."
"Yeah think about LA." Allan added. Richard, their new manager, said that the gang had to get good grades and not to get into any fights in order to go to LA but that was easier said than done, especially since Gisborne and Robin were constantly fighting.
"Hey Locksley," Gisborne growled as he got closer to the gang but the they just walked off in the other direction, determined not to allow this to escalate into a fight. "I hear you're leaving." Robin tensed as he kept walking. "And I hear that Louise is staying behind." Robin froze. They could hear the laughter in Gisborne's voice as Marian placed a hand on Robin's arm, trying to get him to move on but that was impossible as Gisborne continued talking.
"Don't worry I'll take good care of her." Robin dropped his bag from his shoulder and turned to launch himself at Gisborne, wanting to punch that sneer off of his face.
"Robin!" Much shouted as he, Will and Allan dropped their own bags and jumped in front of Robin, grabbing his blazer to try and stop him attacking the laughing form of Gisborne.
"Calm down, Robin."
"Robin it's not worth it."
"C'mon Rob, don't do it mate"
Robin didn't hear his friends urges to calm down, he just saw the smirking form of Gisborne who was insulting his sister, who would never, ever, be with a slime ball such like him, and he saw red at was Gisborne was indicating at. His anger was not improved as he was effectively being restrained by his friends so he was not able to attack the man as he wished to. Robin struggled and pushed but couldn't fight against three of his friends however the red mist didn't fade and the restraints just made him anger. His heart was pumping in his ears sending adrenaline and anger coursing through his bloodstream with every beat of his heart distracting him from everything around him; so much so that he didn't feel Marian's hand on his shoulder, it was just another block trying to stop him from attacking his enemy.
"Robin." She murmured softly into his ear, "Calm down, please." Robin heard her voice through his red-hot anger and it calmed him down slightly but he still pushed against Much, Allan and Will, just with less strength.
"Aww Locksley," Gisborne mocked. "Don't you fight your battles now?" Anger flared back up in Robin and he began struggling with increased vigor but Marian was quick to quash it.
"Don't." She murmured. "Please my love, just walk away." Robin stopped fighting but he was still breathing heavily. Mairan nodded and Allan, Will and Much hesitantly let go of Robin's blazer but it obviously wasn't quick enough for Robin who violently shrugged off his friends grip before stalking away from Gisborne and the gang, picking up his back as he walked off towards the courtyard.
"Go on then." Guy mocked as the gang picked up their bags. "Run off after you master."
"Oh fuck off Gisborne." Allan snapped, "Why don't you go and bully year sevens, that is what you do in your spare time isn't it?" With that Allan followed his friends, after Robin.
When he reached the courtyard Robin was pacing like a caged lion as Marian tried to calm him down. Allan moved over to the rest of the gang and moved to stand next to Djaq, his backpack slung over his left shoulder with his thumb hooked into the strap.
"What's going on?" Louise hissed as she appeared next to Allan, making him jump in shock as she did so.
"Bleedin' hell," Allan cursed. "You don't half move quietly."
"What's going on?" Louise asked again as Marian grabbed Robin's arm to stop him pacing, making him face her as she continued talking hurriedly to him.
"Gisborne wound Rob up again." Allan murmured, not taking his eyes off of his mate. Robin had his hand shoved in his pockets, his shoulders were hunched and he looked like he was sulking.
"Did he attack him?" Louise asked and Allan shook his head, much to Louise's relief.
"But he didn't half anger him."
"It was unbelieveable." Much added, looking over at Louise. "What Gisborne said about Robin and about you."
"Much." Will and Djaq looked as Allan gave him a disbelieving look.
"What did Gisborne say about me?" Louise asked, her voice low as she realised that the gang weren't planning on telling her that bit.
"It doesn't matter," Djaq said and Louise raised an eyebrow at her.
"Look does it really-" But Allan was cut off as the bell rang throughout the school.
"Saved by the bell." He muttered under his breath as he shifted his bag higher onto his shoulder before turning to Louise. "What do you have now."
"French." She said, "With Rob and Mairan."
"Isn't Gisborne in your lesson?" Djaq asked and Louise nodded, not encouraged by the gang's worried looks.
"What do you lot have?" She asked.
"Chemistry." Djaq said.
"We have coding don't we Will?" Allan asked and Will nodded.
"I have catering." Much added.
"See you lot later then." Louise said before walking off towards the language block.
.
When she reached french Louise sat in her normal seat, on the isle next to Robin who was next to Marian.
"I hate french." Robin groaned, his head in his arms, still annoyed by Gisborne.
"Here here." Louise echoed. The entire class was whispering and the three of them all knew what they were talking about.
"Robin." A whiney voice called from in front of them and Robin looked up, suppressing a groan at who he saw.
"Yes Samantha." He asked, trying not allow his anger to seep through.
"Why did you allow your friends to stop you attacking Guy?" She asked in her whiney voice.
"Nessuno ti ama." (Nobody likes you) Louise half sang in Italian under her breath as she swung back on her chair, causing Robin to grin at his sister as Louise grinned sweetly at Samantha, who glared suspiciously at Louise.
"My friends were looking out for me." Robin explained. "They didn't want me to get into trouble, even though Gisborne needs a good beating."
"You're all talk Locksley," A voice growled behind them, "We all know who's the better fighter." Robin went to stand up but Louise and Marian grabbed a shoulder each and forced him back into his chair as the teacher, Madam Baxter, walked into the room.
"Samantha and Guy please sit down." She ordered, "We have a lot of work to cover these next couple of months so I won't settle for any messing around. Do I make myself clear?" No one said anything. Madam Baxter was one of those teachers who believed themselves to always be right and, if she hated someone, she would pick on them merciously for even breathing.
"Right." She said, her french accent obvious as she addressed the class. "To start with Mr Locksley will you please sit up?" Robin dragged his head off of the table and slumped into the back of his seat. "Well this term we're doing a team project." There was a combined groan that echoed up from the class at that information. "Of which I have chosen the groups." Again another groan echoed up from the students. "And you will all be in twos."
The teacher began to read off the partners to a multitude of different reactions, some were happy, some were annoyed and others just didn't care. Robin grinned and winked at Marian as the teacher said that they were working together but it was replaced with anger as it the teacher read out that Louise was pared with none over than Gisborne.
"WHAT!." Robin shouted, standing up. "You can't put Louise with Gisborne!"
"Tell me why can't I Robin?" The teacher replied dangerously.
"Because he's a thug," Robin growled, leaning on the table and gesturing angrily at Gisborne who was sitting smugly on the other side of the room. "And I refuse to allow my sister to work with someone like that!"
"Who's the teacher Robin?" Madam Baxter asked lowly. "You're lucky that I'm still allowing you to work with Marian after the stunt you almost pulled this morning. Now sit. Down."
"But Miss-" Robin tried.
"Enough Robin!" She snapped. "Another word off of you and I'll send you to your head of year do you understand?!" Robin nodded bitterly, forcing himself not to look over at Gisborne who was smirking at the siblings as he allowed Marian to pull him back into his chair. "Anyway it might do you good. This feud between you and Guy needs to stop and I believe that both Louise and Guy are mature enough to work together. Understood?" She looked at Louise and Guy, who both nodded. As the teacher turned back to reading out the rest of the pairs Louise looked over at Gisborne who met her gaze and smirked, his eyes raking up and down her body, making her feel uncomfortable.
When Madam Baxter finished reading out the pairs Louise stood up, grabbed her back, and walked over to Gisborne, sitting down in the unoccupied seat next to him.
"Listen here Gisborne." Louise murmured, turning to face him. "I don't care that you and Robin don't get on I just want to get through this year and to hopefully pass this miserable language." Gisborne seemed slightly shocked by this but quickly regained his composure.
"Alright Locksley." He agreed, opening his book.
"Yeah but a few ground rules." Louise continued. "One, don't call me Locksley that's my brother's name and two, I swear to God that if you use me to try and get Robin in trouble again you won't be able to have kids." Gisborne let out a huffed laugh at that, but didn't argue as they began to organise the stupid amount of work that they had to do in the next five weeks.
