Peter's office
Maddy walks in.
Peter: Hi Maddy, sit down, how are you? (She sits down.)
Maddy: (looking down.) Ok.
Peter: I'm really sorry you had to find out about your parents through me.
Maddy: It's fine.
Peter: Have you talked to anyone about it? (She shakes her head.) Do you want to talk about it with me? (She shakes her head again.) Ok, but try talking about it with someone in your group, it'll help you. Have you talked to anyone, about anything I mean.
Maddy: I tried to talk to Atth, but he wasn't very interested. I don't think he likes me.
Peter: I'm sure if he got to know you he would.
Maddy: Nuh, he's too caught up in Dard.
Peter: What about Mystic?
Maddy: She keeps to herself. It's kinda hard to talk to someone if they don't talk back, or they just say what you're saying is stupid.
Peter: Have you contacted your parents yet, I mean your adoptive parents.
Maddy: No.
Peter: Why not?
Maddy: What am I supposed to say?
Peter: Ok, you can go. (She gets up to leave.) Oh and Maddy, (She turns back) don't give up on Atth, even though he doesn't show it, he need someone to talk to.
Maddy: Ok. (She leaves.)
Rhys walks in.
Peter: Hi Rhys, sit down. (Rhys sits down.) How have you found it so far?
Rhys: Ok.
Peter: Have you made any friends?
Rhys: No.
Peter: Have you talked to anyone? (hoping to get more out of Rhys.)
Rhys: No.
Peter: Why not. (Rhys shrugs.) Have you been eating?
Rhys: Yes (lying)
Peter: Don't lie to me.
Rhys: I'm not (looking down)
Peter: Why are you doing this to yourself?
Rhys: (getting annoyed) I'm not doing anything!
Peter: Exactly! You have to eat! If you don't you'll get very sick. (Rhys doesn't say anything.) Look at yourself! You're all bones.
Rhys: I'm fine.
Peter: Do you do this because of your brother? (Rhys doesn't answer, he just looks away.) How do you feel about the death of your brother? (hoping to get any reaction.) (Rhys goes white and doesn't say anything.) It's alright to be sad you know.
(Rhys gets up and runs out. Peter runs after him, they pass the lodge, Peter is falling behind so he yells to Atth because he has a better chance of catching up to Rhys.)
Peter: Follow him. (Atth runs after Rhys.) Ok, who's next? (out of breath.)
Remy: I believe I am.
Peter: Ok, come to my office.
Peter's Office
They sit down.
Peter: Now Remy, how have you found it here?
Remy: It isn't what I expected, but it has opened my eyes.
Peter: Ok, have you made any friends?
Remy: Not really, I don't seem to have anything in common with anyone which is most unfortunate.
Peter: Has anyone given you a hard time?
Remy: No.
Peter: Good. (Trying to think of something to say, Remy makes him uncomfortable.) Ok, I guess that's all, you can go.
Remy: (Getting up.) Thank you for your time. (He leaves.)
Peter: You're welcome.
Dard walks in.
Peter: Sit down, ok now how's it been so far here for you?
Dard: Well, even though I've no reason for being here, it hasn't been all terrible.
Peter: And why's that.
Dard: Because of Atth.
Peter: Really, what's actually happened between you two?
Dard: Well, I would tell you, but you'd probably suspend me.
Peter: Do you actually know if Atth is interested?
Dard: (Twisting her hair round her finger and smiling seductively.) Of course he is.
Peter: I would ask him if I were you.
Dard: I don't need to ask him, why wouldn't he want me?
Peter: Ok, (changing the subject.) Have you made any other friends?
Dard: No, they're all a bunch of losers.
Peter: Why?
Dard: Well Maddy is a try hard, Mystic is just weird, Nick is pathetic, Clarence is boring, Rhys is too quiet and Remy is, I dunno, he's just really weird.
Peter: Maybe you should get to know them before you make any judgements.
Dard: I don't want to get to know them; the only person I want to get to know intimately is Atth.
Peter: You know the rules.
Dard: Rules are made to be broken.
Peter: Not these ones.
Dard: Fine, what you don't know can't hurt you.
Peter: If I catch you doing anything you will be expelled immediately, (She shrugs) you can go.
(She leaves.)
Clarence walks in.
Peter: Hey Clarence, sit down. So, how's it been so far?
Clarence: No complaints, beside the food of course.
Peter: I see you've become friends with Atth.
Clarence: Yeh, or at least trying to. Man, he's hard.
Peter: I want you to keep an eye in him and Dard.
Clarence: Yeh, she's obsessed with him.
Peter: Have you talked to anyone else?
Clarence: Not really, but Rhys seems interesting, he is really anorexic?
Peter: Yeh.
Clarence: Why?
Peter: Why don't you ask him that?
Clarence: Yeh, I will.
Peter: Have you spoken to your parents?
Clarence: Nuh, I'm not even sure if they're in the country, I think they mentioned something about buying Hawaii, but I could be wrong.
Peter: (smiling) ok, you can go, oh, and has anyone heard anything from Atth and Rhys?
Clarence: Nuh, I think he's still running.
Peter: Ok. (Clarence leaves.)

Chapter 10
Will Rhys come back?
What is Peter's idea for bonding?
Do these questions make any sense?
Was that attempt to be funny, funny?
The answer to these is no, well, maybe, yes, I dunno.
I'll go now before I make a worse fool of myself
