Chapter 15

Hatred



Drama room - 5 pm

Remy is still doing English homework while Atth & Mystic sit and do nothing.

Mystic to Atth: You done the maths homework?

Atth: No

Mystic: Why not?

Atth: Couldn't be bothered.

Mystic: You want help (He glares at her.) Seeing, I am supposed to be your tutor. (He doesn't say anything.) Didn't Peter say you have to at least pass all your subjects to stay here?

Atth: Fine.

Mystic: Hey Remy, can we use your maths book and a piece of paper?

Remy: Sure. (He hands them over.)

Mystic to Atth: Ok, do you know how to draw a graph?

Atth: No.

Mystic: Um, ok. (Thinking *this'll be harder than I thought*)

Lodge - 7:30 pm

Peter walks in to collect the plates from dinner.

Dard: Ah, slave.

Peter: Don't get used to it; if I trusted you all to not talk to other groups I would've had you doing this. (He notices Rhys sitting in the corner, away from Dard, just reading.) Hey Rhys, what you reading? (Rhys holds up the book.) Hannibal, nice choice.

Dard: Eww!

(Peter picks up the plates, one hasn't been touched, he looks at Rhys again and sighs.)

Peter: Ok, I'll be back tomorrow, goodnight. (He leaves)

Maths room - 5 am

Clarence, Atth & Rhys all arrive at the same time.

Atth: All boys group, thank god.

Clarence: Sick of the girls already.

Atth: You could say that.

Clarence: What happened?

Atth: Dard.

Clarence: Oh. (Understanding.)

Rhys: I'd watch Nick around her.

Atth: Yeah, I know, he tried to force her into kissing him.

Clarence: What happened?

Atth: I got him off.

Rhys: How? (Atth holds up his still red hand.)

Clarence: Ow, but I'm guessing he's worse off. (Atth smiles and nods.)

Rhys: Oh well, it was only one rotation.

Atth: Oh, and then there was Maddy.

Clarence: You're kidding.

Atth: She's not the all innocent we thought she was.

Clarence: I can't believe we wasted a whole weekend doing nothing.

Rhys: We still have tonight.

Atth: Joy to the world.

*******************************************************************

Drama room - 5 am

Maddy, Mystic & Dard walk in.

Mystic: Thank god there are no guys in this group.

Dard: You say that like it's a good thing.

Mystic: It is!

Maddy: I was talking to Nick and he's not that bad.

Dard: (Angry) Asshole.

Maddy: Nick?

Dard: Yeh!

Maddy: Why?

Dard: Because (Not wanting to talk about it.)

Maddy: After spending twelve hours with Rhys I still don't understand him.

Dard: Yeh, he's a strange one alright. I reckon he's gay.

Mystic: Why?

Dard: He turned me down!

Mystic: For fucks sake! So let me get this straight, you think Rhys is gay and Atth went to juvie for killing someone.

Dard: Yeh.

Mystic: You're delusional. (Dard glares at her.)

*******************************************************************

Lodge - 4:55 pm

Nick to Remy: So, why are you here?

Remy: I had trouble fitting in at school.

Nick: You're not doing to well at fitting in here either. Is that the only reason you came here?

Remy: My fellow pupils at my previous school didn't accept me as part of their group, so I taught them a lesson.

Nick: (leaning forward.) What sort of lesson.

Remy: It is not relevant; it is all in the past.



(Peter walks in with the other Cliff-hangers.)

Peter: Gather round. Ok, what did you learn? (No one says anything) Ok, we'll go around the circles, Atth you start, what did you learn?

Atth: (He looks at Dard) Um, that it's really annoying when someone ignores everything you say.

Dard: I didn't ignore anything; I just know what you really want.

Atth: (annoyed) What?

Peter: (interrupting) Clarence, what did you learn?

Clarence: That Mystic and I have a lot in common. (Peter smiles.)

Maddy: I learnt that Nick isn't as bad as I first thought. (Dard shudders.)

Dard: I learnt that Nick is a horny prick who will never get any.

Peter: That is inappropriate Dard.

Dard: It's true.

Peter: I'll talk to you after class. Mystic your turn.

Mystic: I learnt more about Clarence.

Rhys: I learnt. more about Maddy.

Remy: I learnt more about everyone.

Nick: I learnt. that, this was a waste of time. (Smiles evilly)

Peter: Try again.

Nick: I learnt that he is a totally weird. (pointing to Remy.)

Peter: (sighing) Ok, everyone can go. (They all leave.)

********************************************************************

Guys' Dorm - 6 pm

Remy walks into the guys' dorm, with his hands behind his back, Atth is the only one in there.

Remy to Atth: Have you seen Nick?

Atth: No, why?

Remy: You'll see. (He turns to leave.)

Atth: (under his breath) Weirdo.

(Remy turns back around and lunges at Atth with a knife. Atth reacts quickly and pulls Remy's hand away, but not before the knife cuts into Atth's arm, just below his shoulder. Atth pins Remy's down on the floor, with the knife a few inches away. Clarence walks in.)

Clarence: Peter wants. whoa!

(Seeing blood running down Atth's arm and Remy and a knife on the ground)

Atth: Get Peter. (Remy is still struggling. Clarence runs out.)

(Peter and Clarence run in. Clarence picks up the knife and Peter helps Remy up who has a look of hatred on his face. Atth is sitting on the floor nearby, holding his arm.)

Peter to Clarence: (about Atth.) Take him to the infirmary, that cut looks deep.

(Atth goes to stand up, then feels dizzy from the loss of blood and falls back down.)

Clarence: You ok?

(Atth nods. Clarence walks over to him and helps him up. They walk out with Clarence holding his other arm to make sure he doesn't fall down again.)
