Chapter Fourteen

The bell rang again, as all students hurried out. It was lunch time now, as they all walked the hallways. Justin, Dodger and Amy then getting back up. As they all walked with everyone else, the teachers cannot tell them of now anyway.

"You know what, Ste will forget about it; just don't mention it again" Justin insisted.

As all three carried on walking, they were on their way to the canteen which is also the assembly area. The school is pretty poor so they use areas for a number of different things.

"Amy are you on free school meals?" Mark asked.

"No, I got money" Amy told them.

Mark nodded.

"Kevin, alright?" Mark asked as he seen him in line.

He has free school meals because his mother doesn't work, she cannot be bothered to get of her backside. Going to the shops is enough for her, so she is stuck on benefits which a lot of the locals bitch about. Saying 'that lazy cow' doesn't deserve to get money as she just sits on her backside all day. Poor Kevin has to take a lot of verbal abuse from them, they have been saying he will grow up and be just like his mother.

"Yeah, I'm starving; I can't wait for tonight" Kevin told them.

"What's tonight?" Mark asked, as they went behind him now.

"My mum is taking me out for dinner" Kevin replied.

Mark and Justin had no ideal that he was picked on at home. If they did then they wouldn't make cruel jokes on his behalf.

"Where to?" Mark asked him.

"Subway" Kevin replied.

Mark and Justin bursted out laughing, as they looked down on the floor. Mark was almost in tears. Though going to Subway was really nice for Kevin, it was not an everyday thing. His mother hardly takes him out or gets him things.

"You're going to Subway with your mum tonight for tea" Mark spoke through laughter and tears as he and Justin moved up.

"You're just jealous" Kevin protested, making them laugh even more.

"Anyone would be jealous of going out with your mum, she is as fit as anything"Mark spoke, he took the joke too far and Justin knew it.

"You what?" Kevin asked, seeing red as he turned around.

He is sick of them saying stuff about him, taking the piss out of him every chance they get. He has had enough, even Ste doesn't take the piss but that's only because he know's how it feels to have a bad mother.

"Kevin; I'm just joking" Mark said, not expecting his sudden comeback.

"Joking? Yeah, it's funny Dodger; I find it funny being taken the piss out of everyday; I find it bloody hysterical" Kevin snarled, as he started to square up to him slightly.

"Chill out" Mark replied, leaning back.

"I will chill out once I take that smug grin of your face" Kevin hissed.

Justin went in between them before anything occurred.

"Stop it you two; just go and get your lunch Kevin" Justin spoke, as he pointed towards the empty entrance to the food part of the canteen.

Kevin stormed in, as he had to stand besides Walker who was getting his lunch also with his free school meal pass. As Walker was in the middle of choosing what he wanted, he has been standing there for at least three minutes.

"Mr Walker, please choose" the woman behind the canteen bar spoke. She looked very annoyed as she looked at Walker.

"I would choose you if you were for sale" Walker spoke, it was just a harmless joke.

She tutted, feeling slightly offended. As she knew he was being sarcastic.

"Go on, give me the cheese sandwich" Simon finally spoke, she breathed in almost relief as she quickly passed him the sandwich.

"I have the same" Kevin spoke, she passed him the sandwich as well.

He carried on walking, he did feel pretty cool. Because he had to show of his 'free school meal pass' Though Walker was taking his sweet time again.

"I'm PC Walker, I have this pass" Walker spoke, as he proudly showed him the 'free school meal pass' She just nodded, telling him to move on.

"Move on? I love Shawnee alright? Though honestly love, you be the first I move on to" Walker spoke, she laughed nervously as she watched him leave.

Kevin showed her his pass too with a smile.

"Oh not you as well" she spoke, Kevin gritted his teeth shaking his head as he put his pass back in his red blazer pocket.

Amy, Mark and Justin soon followed, as they all grabbed on cheese sandwiches. Getting out their money and passing it onto the woman at the counter. As they walked back out again, with their three cheese sandwiches.

"Kevin, have you calm down yet?" Mark asked as he was stood in the small arch hallway of the canteen which was just outside the food area.

"I'm going to subway later okay'" Kevin spoke, alerting them that he doesn't care if they know or not.

"Good" Mark replied, avoiding make another snide comment.

Brendan and Ste were on the other side.

"I can't wait to see your drama class; so whats your new drama teacher like?" Ste asked with a laugh, they had a new drama school teacher called Danny.

"Steven, I hate my drama class; anyway you have to go to one as well; its apart of the school lessons" Brendan reminded him.

"I know; but I always skive it like" Ste replied.

Danny Lomax was looking over at him from the door. He knew it was his son, that is why he got a job here in the first place. Pauline has no ideal that he has a new job in the school just so he can watch over his son. His daughters are in another high school.

"He's looking at us" Brendan commented, as he discreetly pointed towards the door.

"Freak; I hope he doesn't move up closer to you in Drama or anything" Ste replied, as he didn't like the way he was looking at him and Brendan.

"He wouldn't touch me" Brendan shivered as some bad memories returned.
