So Mercutio's gone looking for Benvolio, who hasn't even arrived at the school yet! What havoc will he let loose now?

...

It did not take long to find George, hiding in the corner of the Teacher's Lounge in the dark with an impish smile on his face, and surprisingly, it did not take long to find Mercutio either. His yells and hollers for Benvolio, who still hadn't arrived yet, could probably be heard throughout the whole country, let alone the school!

"I can't find Bensy-Wensy!" Mercutio had wailed when Richard and Hal had found him searching through the bins outside the cafeteria. "He's hiding, I know it!" He pouted and stuck his head into the rubbish, soon followed by his entire body, with his legs left waving frantically in the air. "BENVOOOLIOOO!" the mad teen yelled, his voice echoing through the object he was stuck in. "BENVOOLIOOO! Yoo-hoo! Yo, Benny, are you in there?"

Both Hal and Richard rolled their eyes in almost perfect unison, and together, they both heaved the taller boy out with one big pull.

The bin fell over backwards and Mercutio rolled out, laying eagle-spread on his back. He looked up at the tired annoyed two, and gave a goofy grin. "I guess, he's not in there," was all he said, "maybe he's in the bathroom!" and he leapt up to his feet and dashed down the corridor again before Hal and Richard could even gasp or open their mouths in protests.

The two looked at each other and soon started to laugh. "He won't give up, will he?" Hal snorted.

"No." Richard replied, smirking. "Until he finds his 'Benny-Bens' he won't!"

"I bet you £20 that he won't find Benvolio in there."

"I bet you £25 that he will."

Hal's eyes flashed dangerously and mischievously. "Oooh! You're on!" he decided, before Richard could go back on it, and the two-shook hands.

They hadn't noticed that George had slunk off again.

The two boys waited a few minutes, talking about favourite TV shows and movies, when there came a distressed and defeated cry of: "He's not in there!" from Mercutio, and Hal raised a clenched fist in the air in triumph, while Richard face-palmed himself and let out a groan.

"I win!" Hal announced, his eyes sparkling in delight. "Pay up, Glossy!"

Richard frowned. "It's not 'Glosssy', it's 'Gloucester', Hal! How many times do I have to say it?!"

He sighed. "Honestly, you're as worse as Mercutio!"

"Don't care. Pay up!"

"I don't have £25 on me!"

"Sure you do!"

"No, I don't! I'll pay later. No, actually, NEVER."

"B £% ^d!" Hal swore, kicking the bin, which fell over. "No fair!"

"Yes fair! I don't have that kinda loot! Who do you think I am? The President of the USA?"

"YES!"

"Well, I'm not."

Hal swore again, and he started to kick the bin that now lay on the floor continuously. Richard smiled in his surprise victory, and smirked slightly as he watched his friend destroy the bin in his rage.

How it was good to laugh now and then…

* Meanwhile, Mercutio is STILL searching for Benvolio…*

"Nope!" Mercutio cried, slamming a door shut, and turning to the next one. He opened it and looked inside. There came several screams from within, and he realised that he was in the Girls Bathroom. He gave a flashy grin and a toothy, flirtatious smile. "Whoops! Sorry, ladies!" He ducked as an item of clothing was thrown at him. "Hey!" he yelled annoyed. "That almost hit me!" He slammed the door shut, but opened it again and stuck his head round the door. "By the way, you haven't seen Benvolio have you?" Another item of clothing was thrown at him, and again he ducked. "I'll take that as a no, then." Mercutio quickly slammed the door shut, before turning around to head down the endless flight of doors again.

*A few moments later*

Gliding smoothly down a flight of stairs, Mercutio jumped gracefully onto the floor and landed by a door. Without a moment's thought or hesitation, he barged straight through and stuck his head around the doorframe. "Hey, Headmaster Warwick!" he called rudely. "Have you seen Benvolio around anywhere?"

"No," came Warwick's reply. "I haven't."

"Nutty Fudgekins!" Mercutio cursed, kicking the wall and leaving a big black smudge of a foot imprinted onto it. "What about Romeo?"

"I haven't seen him either, Mercutio, and mind that wall! Come back at break to clean that off!"

"Hell no!" Mercutio yelled, and ran out of the room before Warwick could stop him.

"Come on Juliet!" Anne, daughter of Warwick cried joyfully. "I can't wait to get to school! I can't wait to see Mercutio and Hal! They're so funny!"

Her friend smiled at her. "Yes. They are aren't they? I can't wait to see Romeo! And Benvolio, too!'

Anne gave a grin. "They are such good boys…" she said. "Unlike 'cutio. Such a naughty boy..." Anne gave a girly giggle and bent down to pick up her school bag. She placed it over her shoulder, and turned to face the stairs. "Hermia, Isabel, Kate, let's go!" she called impatiently, frowning and tapping her fingers against the wall. "Mercutio, Benvolio, Romeo, Hal and George will be waiting for us! We don't want to keep them annoyed!"

"We're coming, Anne!" came a quick reply, soon followed by the rushing sound of trampling feet on carpet. Three pretty young teenage girls stood at the foot of the stairs. One had striking red hair, and pretty blue eyes, with purple nail varnish on her fingernails. Her eyes shone with a mischievous glint.

The second was tall and had similar hair colour to Anne, but had a more golden tint to it. She had brown, hazel coloured eyes and stood taller than the others. She smiled at Anne with a softness and sisterly affection.

The third had dark chocolate like brown hair, grey eyes, and a smile that could light up the room in seconds.

Anne beamed at the three of them. "Great!" she cheered. "You're all ready! Let's go!"

The girl with the red hair grinned even wider. "You really do like school, don't you, Anne?"

Anne smiled at her. "Yes, Hermia, I do."

Hermia winked an eye. "Or is it Richard you want to see the most?" she giggled.

Isabel, the girl with the hazel brown eyes and sisterly affectionate smile, laughed delightedly.

The other girl with the room lighting smile and dark chocolate hair, Kate, simply blushed, even though it wasn't her who was being teased.

Anne swatted the laughter away with the simple swipe of a hand. "Enough is enough, Hermia. I look forward to seeing Richard as much as the other boys…" and with that she opened the door to the house, and strolled confidently out, leaving the other girls behind. "Why won't she just admit it?" Hermia said to Juliet, "that she obviously likes him?"

Juliet simply shrugged and followed Anne out of the house, the other

two lagging behind them.

The minute Benvolio walked into the school building, Mercutio had leapt at him excitedly. "Benny, there you are, I was so worried, I couldn't find you at all, and Din-Dins hit me and I went around the whole school looking for you, and I got stuck in a rubbish bin and-"

Benvolio rolled his eyes, and turned to Romeo, who was standing nearby, for help. Romeo simply laughed at him and stood there doing nothing. Mercutio tugged at Benvolio's shirt and literally started to kiss him all over his face. Benvolio squirmed and pushed the overly eccentric boy away from him. "Mercutio, stop!" he cried disgustedly. "Get away from me, you weird person!"

Mercutio laughed. "You need to let yourself go a little, Bensy-Wensy." He stated. "Live a little!"

"Yeah, and end up like you? No thank you!" Benvolio said, mock horrified, raising his eyebrows.

Romeo smiled. "Let's go and find the others," he said, "they're bound to be somewhere around here." He turned to Mercutio. "Didn't you say that Richard was around here?"

"Yeah! Along with George and Hal."

"Right." Benvolio decided, slinging his school bag over his shoulder, "I'm not staying with 'Mr. Florescent Madman' here, I'm off to find someone who isn't insane. Who's with me?"

"I am." Romeo said, picking up his school bag over his shoulder as well, and he joined Benvolio's side.

"Right," Benvolio said again, "I'm off! Bye!" and he turned and walked away with Romeo following. Mercutio's face fell and he ran quickly after them. "Wait, you can't leave me on my own, now that I've found you, Benny!" He stopped and folded his arms, pouting. "You don't even know where they are!" He stomped his foot. "BENNY! GET BACK HERE, NOW! BENNY!"
