Chapter 17 – Kiss.
"What?" Robin asked, shocked.
"You, Mr. Hood," Mr. James began in a snooty voice, "Are a bad influence and unruly child, your grades are slipping and we've had enough."
"Dear, may be you'd fit in better at another school, you're friends here, ever since you met them, you've been, well different," Katie said.
"It's for the best son," Ken said softly.
"I'm not moving!" Robin hissed adamantly, starring at the dark blue carpet and shuffling his feet.
"You don't really have a choice Robin, unless you convince me to let you stay before Christmas, I'll have to expel you," Mr. James explained.
"Ok," Robin paused before answering, "Sir," and leaving the room.

At the beginning over November, the mocks were upon them. The gang, now including of Dean, Paula and Marian, sat in silence every evening, like all the other year tens, revising madly.
Each teacher would say the same, "You're mocks are coming up, you're homework is to revise, now lets go over everything you've done this year."
"So what is the sum of x if y 15x 8?" Robin asked, his eyes fluttering closed.
It was eleven O'clock in the evening, the night before the first exams, Maths and Chemistry.
"What's the symbol equation for…" Paula began, "Actually, I don't think I care…2
"Let's go to bed," Marian moaned.
Everyone murmured in agreement and quickly grabbed there books, yawning and stretching.
Much and Dean were the last to pack up there books, stuffing them into their black and blue school bags and moving towards their dormitories.
"Night Much," Dean called sweetly.
"Night Dean," Much replied, watching her walk up the stairs and sighing.
"Do you want something?" Dean asked, turning to find him staring at her.
Much shook his head, beginning to turn as Dean continued, "Well I do."
She rushed over to him, pressing her lips to his before Much pulled away in surprise.
"What…?" Much looked confused, but happy.
"Sorry," Dean blushed furiously as she avoided Much' eye.
"It's ok," Much said softly, smiling and kissing her again before walking to his dormitory and leaving Dean grinning with happiness.
