Chapter 21 – Being 'Cured'
Tom's POV
If this Preston guy was buying our school we didn't have a hope in hell but I couldn't stand him he can't work at a school like Waterloo Road as his views are a little 'outdated'.
I had taken him on a tour of the school and he had asked about my life so I said I had fostered a troubled student and that's when he let his views heard.
'Why are they troubled? He asked in his deep Texas accent
'He has a dysfunctional family and him having gender issues doesn't help'
'Gender issues?'
'Yeah Robbie used to be Kacey'
'And you let this happen you didn't knock it out of it'
'Robbie is not an it they are an he and if it makes him happen that is all that matters'
He walked away then saying something about changes in the school
Robbie's POV
It was my first day back and school had changed, everyone wore necklaces with crosses on and went to prayer meetings.
This made me laugh I don't think my family even knows what a church is and I didn't have the same first lesson as Zoe, she had a tutor and I had a free so I went in the corridor to practise my shots, no one ever bothers me there.
I was playing football when a weird man I had never seen before walked past not looking happy
'No football in the hall'
'Soz' I smirked his accent was REALLY deep
'What's your name lad?'
'Robbie Barry'
His eyes went wide as if I had just burned him he put his hands on both my shoulders and said
'It's ok God will help me to cure you'
I couldn't help laughing, this guy was loony, but he grabbed me and started to steer me away.
'Erm what are you doing?'
He didn't reply and carried on walking and then steered me into the science lab that wasn't in use.
He walked to the cupboards and pulled out a cloth and a bottle of acid and then walked toward me
'It's ok Robbie you can be cured'
He then put acid on the cloth and started to rub my arms with it I screamed as it was burning
'We will get rid of the dirt don't worry'
Nikki's POV
I was walking down the corridor and I hear screaming coming from the science lab I ran to the class and was shocked at the scene I found, Jerry rubbing acid on Robbie.
I tried the door but it was locked so I bashed on the window but he didn't even hear, but Barry did.
'Miss what's going on?'
He walked toward me and spotted the cause of my banging
'MY BROTHER'
He ran toward the door and in a fit of rage mangered to bust it open, as soon as he did Jerry from shock let go and Robbie ran into Barry's arms.
I had never seen Barry so protective he had his arms around him like he would never let him go.
I grabbed hold of Jerry and took him to Michael's office where I told him everything he was immediately let go, but the damage was done.
Robbie's arms were red from the acid so after letting everyone know what happened he was took to the hospital again but luckily he had no serious damage, but that man had damaged him as he believed all the words he had said and now we had to get his confidence back.
