Chapter 11
Bonding
Drama room - 5 pm - Dard, Rhys and Nick
They walk in and dump their stuff on the floor. They all sit down in chairs.
Dard: (flopping down in a chair) Uh! Kill me!
Nick: (giving an evil smile) Ok.
Rhys: It won't be that bad, just catch up on some sleep.
Dard: Yeh, at 5 in the morning!
Nick: They should make early starts illegal.
Dard: God you're lame.
Nick: Thank you.
Dard: *Screams*
Nick: (Covering his ears) Warn us next time you want to do that.
(No one says anything, they just look around bored.)
Dard: (breaking the silence) 12 hours of this.
Rhys: You'll be asleep for most of it.
Dard: Thank god. (leaning forwards toward Rhys.) So, you got a girlfriend?
Rhys: No.
Dard: Really?
Rhys: Yeh really.
Dard: Strange.
Rhys: Why's that strange?
Dard: Cos you're fucking gorgeous.
Rhys: Given up on Atth already?
Dard: No, but he's not here, and you are. (Smiles.)
Nick: Congratulations for noticing that.
Dard: Shut up Skay. (She stands up and stretches showing her stomach.) Well, I'm taking a shower, anyone coming? (Looking at Rhys. He shakes his head and looks away.)
Nick: I will!
Dard: (Ignoring Nick) Suit yourself, but if you change your mind, I'll be waiting.
(She walks out of the room.)
Nick: I can't believe you said no! Are you mad!
Rhys: She's just using us.
Nick: Who cares! (He gets up and walks out after her.)

Lodge - Maddy and Atth
When everyone leaves they sit there in silence.
Atth: So.um, what happened before?
Maddy: (confused) Huh? When?
Atth: At the docks. when you were crying.
Maddy: Oh, that. (bitting her lip.)
Atth: (seeing she's getting upset.) You don't have to tell me.
Maddy: Nuh, um. (Looking down) I was talking to Peter and he told me I was adopted.
Atth: (surprised) Your parents didn't tell you! (Maddy shakes her head and tries not to cry.) Shit, come on, don't cry!
(Not knowing what to do. He gets up and sits next to her, putting his arm around her. She looks up into his eyes and leans in and kisses him. After a moment of shock Atth pushes her off and stands up, backing away.)
Atth: (Angry) Why the hell you'd do that? (Maddy looks at him scared of his sudden mood change.) You can't just go around kissing people! (putting his hands on his head trying to work it out. He turns to face her) Oh, I get it. (pointing at her.) You just want to go around saying, yeh, I roughed it once! That's sick!
Maddy: No!
Atth: You just want your fling with the guy from the other side of town! Fuckin get over yourself!
(He goes to the other end of the lodge and sits down, looking out a window. Maddy sits there shocked)
********************************************************************
Maths room - Remy, Mystic and Clarence
Clarence: So, Mystic, if that is your real name, where're you from?
Mystic: (smiling) It is my real name and I used to live in Washington.
Clarence: Really! Same. (They sit in uncomfortable silence.)
Mystic: I hate this whether. (Clarence laughs.) What? (Annoyed)
Clarence: We're talking bout whether.
Mystic: Yeh. (Turning to Remy) So, where are you from?
Remy: New York
Clarence: Riveting. (He gets up and walks over to a cupboard and takes out a box.) Anyone for Scrabble?
Remy: Sure!
Mystic: Whatever. (Amazed at Remy's enthusiasm.)
Clarence: Scrabble it is then.
*******************************************************************
Girls' Bathroom
Dard is in the shower; Nick walks in and knocks on the shower door.
Dard: Ah, Rhys, Glad you decided to join me. (She unlocks the door and opens it, fully naked. She sees it's Nick and she screams. Nick is standing there smiling at her, while also staring at her. She pulls the door closed and locks it.)
Dard: You fucking asshole, get out!
Nick: What, you'll let Rhys in, but you won't let me in?
Dard: I'd rather let Remy in!
Nick: Wow, that's pretty sick.
Dard: Take the hint, if it's sick to let in Remy in, what it is for you! Go away!
Nick: Fine, see you later. (He walks out.)
****************************************************************
Maths room - 6:00 pm
Clarence puts down 'Ratio' on the scrabble board. Mystic smiles and puts down the letter I,N,C,A,R,C,E and N to make the word 'Incarceration'.
Clarence: Nice.
Mystic: I thought so, 35 points. (Clarence writes it down)
Remy: (putting down a word) Pig.
Clarence: Pig? Um, ok, what score?
Remy: Three.
Clarence: Ok. That means you have 56 points, Mystic 185 and I have 192.
Mystic: (Smiling) Close game. (Ignoring Remy)
Clarence: Uh huh. (looking at his letters.)
Mystic: So, what school did you go to?
Clarence: You wouldn't have heard of it.
Mystic: Try me.
Clarence: (Looking up. In a posh accent.) Pennrhos College for fine young men.
Mystic: (Surprised) Really!
Clarence: You heard of it?
Mystic: It's just like the best school in the state. Did you get a scholarship or something?
Clarence: (Embarrassed) Nuh.
Mystic: Wow, you're parents must be loaded!
Clarence: They're nothing to do with me.
Mystic: Oh, ok.
