Chapter One
Atth
Juvie Hall
Two guys about 16 years old are sitting at a table playing their own version of poker, seeing they didn't have a full pack. Another guy walks in, seeing one of the guys sitting down, he takes something out of his pocket, and walks up to the guy.
Guy: Hey Atth, hows your count going? (He slams his hand on Atth's back, digging the pin into Atth's shoulder. Atth cringes and turns around.)
Atth: Even better now that I'm one more up on you, Garth.
Garth: (Annoyed) Don't worry, I'll get you. (Turns and walks away)
Atth: Bullshit man, you couldn't get a fly! You'd better watch you're back, man. (Garth leaves.)
(Most of the guys in Atth's section were involved in a game where they'd go around sticking pins in each other. If they made a noise, then they lost a point and if they didn't make any noise, they'd gain a point. Atth was on 36 already, while Garth was on 17.)
Max: (the other guy playing poker) Ok, show us em. Atth, smiling, places down his cards showing a royal flush.
Atth: Sorry man, you lose.
Max: Fuck! (Getting up) You cheated!
Atth: Nuh, you just can't play (Getting up too) Hand it over! (Putting out his hand)
Max: Fuck you! You cheated!
Atth: Hand it over, wanker! (Max lunges for Atth, but before he can throw any punches, Atth has him against the wall.)
Atth: You wanna start something? (A guard walks in with Peter behind him.)
Guard: (Sighing) Atth, get off Max. (Atth punches Max in the stomach and whispers to him.)
Atth: I'll collect it tonight. (He turns around. Max leaves)
Atth to the guard: (Sarcastically, grinning) Andy! You back from you're holiday! How was Hawaii? You bring me back anything? (He rubs his hands together)
Guard (Andy): (to Peter) You say you want him at you're school?
Peter: (Smiling, walks over to Atth.) You must be Matthew.
Atth: Uh huh (suspicious) and you are?
Peter: I'm Peter Scarbrow, I run Mt Horizon.
Atth: (Confused) Am I supposed to know you? (Sarcastically) Looks if it's bout the smack, I'm sorry, my dealer.
Peter: (Interrupting.) I run a school for teenagers who have run into a bit of trouble.
Atth: How charitable of you.
Peter: I would like it if you'd consider attending.
Atth: As much as I'd love to, I have prier engagements, like being in gaol.
Peter: I meant, next week, when you get out.
Atth: Sorry, not interested, I'm gonna spend all my money on drugs, thank you very much. (Starts to leave)
Peter: It's free (Atth turns back around) You'd be on a scholarship.
Atth: Yeh, right, cos I'm so smart.
Peter: Not that kind of scholarship.
Atth: What exactly is this little school of yours? Boot camp?
Peter: Not quite. Mt Horizon is a boarding school in the middle of the bush. You'd get free meals, free accommodation, schooling and we also do a lot of outdoor activities.
Atth: No thanks I'm not going back to school.
Peter: Where are you gonna get money for food and rent?
Atth: (Grinning) I'll find a way.
Peter: Not legally, no one's going to employ someone that's been in here. (Atth glares at him) What do you say? What have you got to lose?
Atth: My integrity. (Someone runs in.)
Guy: (Out of breath) Oy! Atth, Garth's at it again!
Atth: Shit. (He runs out, Peter and the guard follow)
Bath room
Garth is punching someone on the ground. Atth pulls him off the boy and throws him against the wall. He helps the boy up.
Atth: (to the boy) I told you, you're either the hunter or the hunted. Stay away from Garth, he's physco. Go to the nurse. (The boy walks off. Atth turns to Garth.)
Atth: It's his first day, give him a break!
Garth: Oh, I'm so sorry your highness. (Atth slams him against the wall.)
Atth: You will be. (The guard, Andy, pulls him off. Peter is watching this all, surprised. Atth walks out passing Peter.)
Atth: (walking by) Alright, I'm in. (Peter starts to regret it.)
Sorry it's so short; I'm still working on my other story as well as million of assignments at school. Please Review. Lauren.
