Ch 7: I Make This Look Good

Wilson came round the next day with my new books and a makeshift uniform. He wasn't too sure about my dress code, well 'assumed' dress code. So he presented me with black school shoes, knee high black socks and a black and white tie that all the guys wore. A black, white and red tartan skirt to match the school emblem, and a white shirt that was a school issue, but he had tailored to fit me.

As well, he had a blazer that fitted me very nicely, taking into consideration that I am a girl. The tailor had put extra material in the right spots and taken in at others. Wilson had put so much effort into my uniform that I didn't know how to repay him. He just replied with – 'Teach these boys something new and I will be happy with that'

'Wow! Look who's trying to fit in now.' Posner remarked as I walked into the general studies class. Mr. Landford wasn't there yet.

'She looks great.' Timms put in.

'Hot more like.' Wilkes added.

I continued walking to my original seat from the day before.

'Now this is why having a girl in here is a bad idea.' Crowther pointed out.

'Why? What's so bad about it?' Rob wanted to know.

'Well how are we meant to control our selves when this pretty thing insists on hanging around?' Dakin's voice commented from the back of the class once more.

'Shut up Dakin.' Rowan remarked from his seat across the room.

Dakin laughed. 'What's wrong Rowan? You got a thing for her do you?'

A few others sniggered.

'Nah Dakin, I don't. Did Steven tell you what he and a few mates were doing yesterday? They were harassing Megen, the wankers.'

'You serious?'

'Yes, they were disgusting.' I added.

Dakin stared at me with questioning eyes. With that he jumped up and ran for the door only to run into Mr. Landford.

'Where are you off to?'

'Got to have a chat with a mate of mine sir. Sorry.' He ran out the door leaving the rest of us behind. I wasn't sure what he was going to do but all I knew was that I was going to have to thank him for it later.

'Hey Megen what were they saying?' Posner asked, as he turned round in his seat to look at me.

'They were just being sexist pigs.' Rowan replied.

I looked to him with a face to say thank you. He seemed to get my message when he nodded back.

Class continued on as it normally did. Whatever normal was. Landford got us to perform any scene from any play and he tried to guess it. He won every time. Surprisingly it was a lot of fun. I wanted to have a go at it but I knew very few plays let alone the words from it. I didn't hear from Dakin, or Steven for that matter, for the rest of the day. I was glad for this. I couldn't stand another fight.
