Boarding at Nottingham Towers
2.Unexpected
I own nothing but the characters I create. If I did own Robin Hood. Marian would be alive, Guy and Sheriff would be dead, John would have found Alice again and Will and Djaq would still be in Sherwood. I said I'd say it again and again and I mean it!
Marian groaned as the anouncement came over the loud speakers in the hall outside their room.
"All 12th year students are to report to the assembly hall imediately!" said the crackly voice they all recognised as Mr John Prince, the deputy head of the school, who was covering for Mr Richard King the real head. He was away in Isreal doing this thing were he taught the deprived kids over there. To be honest none of them quite knew why he had left.
"God!" Marian said as she stuffed the last of her clothes in the wardrobe. "You would think they'd understand that we know all that by now!"
"Yeah," Djaq agreed.
"I mean," Marian ranted as she started for the door, "We're not year seven!"
"Very true," Djaq said, as they joined the scrum of pupils idally making their way to the hall.
"Hey guys!" called out a voice from behind them.
They turned to see Mira and Eve coming towards them.
"What's going on?" Mira asked as she saw the stream of pupils walking down the corridor.
Marian smiled, Mira was new here so wasn't used to the fact that when Mr Prince called, you heeded it!
"We're going to the assembly that's called at the start and end of every term." Djaq explained.
"Hey girls," said a voice they all knew was Allan's "Glad to see you didn't get lost then Mira, new girl like you. No map in your head!"
"That's 'cause my head has something inside it unlike yours!" Mira retorted instantly.
There were a chours of "oooos!" only stopped when Djaq said "Is Will coming?"
"Yes he is," said Will appearing at that very moment.
"Don't jump out at me!" Djaq scolded playfully.
"Come on let's get going," Eve said interupting the antics of both Will and Djaq and Mira and Allan. The gang nodded sighing and walked down the corridor in twos.
Marian couldn't help but envy Mira and Djaq, they both had their boys. Robin had gone off to Isreal at the same time as Richard. He had gone and left her with just a text saying
Gon 2 isrealSorry
Love u 4ever
Goodbye
All my luv
Robin
He hadn't even asked her to wait for him. Is that all their love had ment to him? 12 words of a text!
Marian shook her head and sighed, she wasn't going to let him back into her mind. He didn't deserve it!
With that thought firmly planted in her head she marched off after the others.

Why did he ever let Robin do this? Much thought to himself as he watched Robin flirt with the bar maid in Starbucks.
He had been doing it for about half an hour now. Much looked down at his watch to check.
Oh God! It had been a full hour. They should have been at school half an hour ago!
"Robin!" Much cried running over to him.
"Not now Much," Robin said, not taking his eyes off this bar maid. He knew he shouldn't treat his friend like he was doing, but he had a craving for love. After five years in Isreal, five years dodging attacks and trying to do school work at the same time, he needed love.
"But Robin we should have been at school half an hour ago!" said Much frantickly.
"I don't care!" Robin snapped.
Much leaned forward to Robin's ear, he really hated doing this but it was the only thing that would wake him up "Oh, so you don't want to see Marian then?" he asked.
Robin sat up and looked at Much, yes Marian, he had forgotten about her. What the hell! How could he have forgotten about Marian? The love of his life he had left behind.
"Bye," Robin said to the barmaid and in a flash he was out of the door with his suitcases and Much was running to catch up with him...

Marian, along with the rest of the pupils in the year, was bored silly! The long four hour speach that was always about how students should reach higher, strive harder, try to make tomorrow better than today and all that garbidge!
Prince was talking about the new harsh punishments. They were unbelievably unfair!
"If I find any of you do anything to annoy me or my collegaues, or if I get any reports from pupils then you will have a detension. Considering that most of you board I can keep you in detension overnight!" Prince cackled. Marian and Djaq looked at each other in horror, when suddenly a voice sparked up from behind them,
"That is the worst desicion I'v ever heard!" Marian span around, along with the rest of the hall, to see a figure standing in the doorway. It was Robin Locksley and behind him Much Green.
"Oh. My. God!" Marian whispered. She felt like she was going to faint, but for some reason she couldn't tare her eyes of him. She should be angry, but as she looked at his toned, muscular body, such an array of emotions came bubbling to the suface, she couldn't tell if she was.
"Now I don't know much about the laws in this country, I've been in Isreal you see. But even the Taliban wouldn't use something as inhumane as that!" Robin was saying.
Prince snarled "Who," he said outstretching a long knarled finger, topped with a dirty fingernail "are you?"
Robin didn't miss a beat "I'm Robin Locksley and this is my friend Much Master."
There was a buz of excitment as every pupil in the hall turned to their neighbour. Everyone remebered Robin Locksley, commonly nick-named Robin Hood for all the good deeds he did.
"I suggest you sit down," Prince snarled.
"And I suggest you get some manners, but I'll give your suggestion a try." And with that he sauntered down the isle and plunked himself in a seat.

As Prince's speach finially came to an end, each year 12 got up and stretched their tired limbs for the second time that day. The gang were included in this ritual, Will helped Djaq up- causing them both to blush and Allan and Mira went off-each of them had an earphone in their ear and were listening to Allan's ipod as they had been doing all through the assembly. Marian got up awquadly.
Fortunately Djaq was at her side in seconds, hooking her arm through hers. Mira took her quew from Djaq and disentangled herself from Allan's embrace and the earphone and did the same. She gave Djaq a questioning look and Djaq mouthed "I'll tell you later."
The boys were less sensative and rushed over to Robin and Much hi-fiving them and giving them manly hugs. The testosterone was so thick in the air the girls could pracitically smell it.
The girls felt Marian tense as Robin came over.
"Marian," he said softly.
Marian pushed past him, giving Much a small smile before huffing out of the room. Robin sighed and turned to go after her, when Djaq placed her hand on his shoulder and shook her head.
"I'll go after her," Djaq said.
"And me," Mira chipped in. Eve said nothing. So both girls hurried out...
What's Robin gonna do? Is Marian gonna come around to him? If she does what's Guy gonna do? What's up with Eve?
