Marian and Robin walked through the school gates and made there way to the lockers. All the time Marian kept a firm hold on Robins hand. She was scarred that if she let go he was going to disappear again. She hadn't had time to ask him about his parents but she would ask him after school. Marian went to go to form but Robin stopped.

"What's wrong?" Marian asked turning to look at him

"I need to go talk with the head" Robin explained

"But.." Marian started but Robin stopped

"Don't worry, I'll meet you in form. I'm not going anywhere I won't leave you again I already told you that. So go to form I'll be there as soon as possible" Robin assured

"Okay but no running off promise?" Marian insisted

"Promise" Robin smiled kissing her and heading to the heads office

Marian sighed and walked up to form. She opened the door and made her way to where the gang were. She slumped into her seat and closed her eyes.

"Maz, you okay?" Paula asked

"Just give me a minute" Marian replied

"Okay" Paula said

A few moments later Marian opened her eyes to see the gang looking at her worried. Marian couldn't help but laugh. The gang looked at each other then back at Marian.

"Okay she's finally lost it" Alan laughed

"Sorry guys but your faces were just so funny. I'm fine really. Actually I'm great, fantastic ,brilliant!" Marian exclaimed

"Wow you haven't been this happy since Robin was here" Eve said

"O MY GOD! HE BACK AIN'T HE?" Paula shouted

Marian smiled and nodded her head. The girls squealed and hugged each other jumping around. The bell rang signalling the start of form time. The girls sat down when there form tutor walked in.

"Okay people! Settle down" he called out to get people to quieten down.

Once the class was silent he was about to begin the register when a knock came form the door.

"Come in" He shouted annoyance in his voice

"Sorry I'm late sir I had to talk to the head" Robin smirked

"Sit down Locksley. Every time you come back you disrupt my class" He complained

"I'll do my best not to disturb you any more" Robin promised and made his way to his seat next to Marian.

Form time went quickly and then they had maths. Mr Beveridge was happy until he saw Robin was back. He started muttering stuff under his breath. The whole lesson was spent going over what they had done in the past 2 years. He also gave out all the sheets they needed to do while on study leave. Robin sat there the whole lesson starring at Marian and making her laugh. He been told off a lot and had to answer every question. Yet he answered them all with out even looking away from Marian. Beveridge was just getting more and more annoyed. When the bell rang for the next lesson Marian and Robin made there way to French which was bound to be fun.

In French they went through there coursework. While Robin worked with one of the teacher to catch up on it. But by the end off the lesson Robin had completed 4 pieces of the 5 he needed to do. All he had was an essay left to do and learn his role play piece for the speaking exam. Marian had already said she would help him with it, weather he'd need it or not was another question. When Break finally came the gang headed outside to relax. Once they were out side they all collapsed on the floor.

"So Rob when did you get back?" Will asked

"Erm about 4 this morning" Robin sighed

"And you came to school? Dude if I was you I'd still be in bed" Alan exclaimed

"Well I wanted to see my mates and Marian and I knew all you guys would be at school so the best place to find you" Robin smirked "Anyway we only have this week then study leave"

"Yeah I know it's great. I don't see why we have to be in this week anyway we might as well just start study leave now" Paula moaned

"Were only here to get all our study material. I'm just worried about the exams that are coming up. They give us our career options" Marian sighed

"Says the A* student" Djaq stated

"Hay your just as bad" Alice laughed

"Yeah the dummy's here are the ones that need to panic!" Paula giggled

"What about me I need to finish all my coursework in the space of a week" Robin smiled

"Don't worry your like a super genius. Your get it done" Eve shrugged

The group just laughed and carried on enjoying life being back to normal. Even though exams were coming they knew that no fun and all work would never work. Things where good but weather they could stay that way was another question.

oOo

Robin was sat in geography bored out of his brains. He couldn't pay attention. Why did I take this class again? I could never stand it!I Robin thought to himself. He looked around the class to see most of the students half asleep on the tables. Sarah was sat up front starring at him with that same smile. Robin just ignored her. Did she really think she had a chance with him after all he and Marian had been through. No chance at all. Robin smiled thinking about Marian. Being away from her for a year was too long. It was hard so many times he had just wanted to turn round and come home to see her but he couldn't. He knew she would ask him about where he'd been what had happened. He would tell her everything anything she wanted to know. He didn't want to keep any secrets. This morning when he had found her with them men all he could think about was keeping her safe. Something he had been unable to do while he was away. His top priority was Marian.

The bell rang bringing Robin out of his daydream. He shoved all his books in his bag and made his way to P.E. He knew this was going to be fun. Guy and Vaisey were in this class. Robin couldn't wait to kick there buts in what ever sport they were playing now. As he got to the changing rooms he bumped into Marian and the girls. Who where laughing about something.

"What's so funny?" Robin asked

"O you'll see" Paula replied laughing as she and the girls entered the changing rooms to get ready.

The boy's went in and got changed. As they walked out they stood standing and talking to the girls. Apparently they had been put together. The girls were all giggling and whispering about something. The words 'I can't wait to see there faces' And 'This was a great idea Paula' was all the boys needed to know. Paula was known for her pranks and if she pulled one they couldn't wait to see. They were all talking when suddenly everyone burst out laughing. They turned to see Gisbourn's and Vaisey's once white shorts to now be pink and not just like pink but hot pink. Everyone was in fits of laughter. Even the teacher was having a hard time not laughing as he gave them both a pair of white shorts to put on. When Guy and Vaisey where finally back in normal kit. They were told they would be playing rounders. They were split into 4 teams so two games were going on at a time. Robin, Will, Alan,Much, John,Marian,Djaq, Paula, Dean and Alice where all on one team again Vaisey, Gisbourn and the other black nights.

The game started well with Robin's team fielding first. Robin was bowling with Will as backstop and Alan as first base. Marian Much and John were out fielding and Paula was on third with Alice on fourth. When they swooped the black knights had got a total of 14 rounders. Robin and the others where confident they could beat them. Epically with there rivalry. Robin was first up to bat and got a rounder first time. Next was Will who go to second safely. Djaq went next. The black knights not expecting Djaq to hit it that far because she was small moved in. But as soon as the bat connected with the ball it went flying round past them. Djaq got a rounder with time to walk to the last post. Next Alan went getting a rounder while mocking the other team by skipping to the last post. Marian went next hitting it and getting to forth as well. When John stood up to back the fielders mover out but even they didn't move far enough back John hit it and got a rounder by walking it. This carried on for the rest of the game and soon Robins team won 20-14.

Robin went back into the changing rooms and got changed then headed with the gang to lunch. Last lesson for everyone was a study lesson. Where everyone sat in the computer room finishing coursework or revising for the exams that started in 2 weeks time. Robin finish off his French coursework and his food and even finished one piece of his Geography. This was with the help of the entire gang. But with that done Robin handed them in and the gangs went there separate ways; promising to meet up again later.

Robin smiled as he walked home with Marian today had been a great first day back. But now came the hard part of telling Marian what had happened in the past year he had been away.
