Thanx soooooooo much to all of my reviewers, I luv u all!

A rumour is a powerful thing. Rumours, as you probably know, are peices of information that go around societies, suchas schools. Most rumours are normally lies or twisted tales. By twisted tales I mean stories that have been twisted in one way or another normally to make it seem better or worse for a certain person. Rumours can, as I have already said, be very powerful. If a rumour is spred about you then it is a very hard thing to repremand and even if you do manage it, most people will still believe it true.

Most people don't like rumours and Marian didn't think that Guy would, when he heard the rumour being spread about him.

"Hey Marian!" she turned at the sound of her voice being called.

"Oh hey guys!" she exclaimed as the gang came up behind her.

"Did you here, Guy got beaten up by the Night Watchman!" Allan smirked.

"Really?" Marian replied, risking a glance at Robin.

"Yeah," He said smilling at her.

"Hey, are you okay? You weren't in bed when I woke up!" Djaq said appearing at her side and hooking her arm through Marian's.

"Yeah, I'm good. Just needed some air."

"Okay then..." Djaq wasn't convinced.

Fortunately Marian was saved by the bell.

"Oh great! School already!" Allan grumbled as they all split and went in different directions.

...

Marian sat next to Djaq in their form room.

"You are so NOT okay!" Djaq said.

"I am !" Marian retorted.

Djaq was about to reply, when Marian was saved once again by their teacher sweeping in.

...

Marian sat under the large oak tree in the forest that bordered the school. It was nice to sit here after school and think. The sunlight glowing through the trees left a dappled effect on the ground.

Footsteps came and she looked up. Robin was standing in front of her, obviously deep in thought.

"Hi Robin," she said, pulling him into this world.

"Oh hey Marian," he looked around nervously, noticing that this was obviously her spot "I'll just go."

"No! This is a free country, sit here. I'd be glad of the company."

"I wouldn't want to intrude," he said but with less conviction.

"Sit." She ordered.

There was a silence.

"Marian, in Isreal there were millions of people had wounds and I was sorry for them. But the wound I am most sorry for is the wound that I gave you by leaving."

"Robin," she said, getting up. "Some scars still hurt, even after years of not doing." And with that she walked away.

...

The gang sat around the fire in the common room. All but Eve, who was apparently doing homework.

"Miss Owen and Mr Jones! No way!" Allan cried.

"Yes way!" Marian protested "Have you seen the way they look at each other, it's sweet!"

"No," Allan repremanded "it's wrong!"

"It is-" but she was cut off by her mobile.

"Ha, see, you agree with me!" Allan declared happily.

Marian chuked a cusion at him.

"Hello, yeah, what! When? Really, but surely, no hope! That's stupid, you idiotic son of a..." Marian screeched down the phone, by the end of the conversation she was in tears and ran out the room.

Robin instantely got up and ran after her...

So, what's happened? Eve will come to a head in the next few chapters, promise. It might be a long time before I next update, like three weeks long, sos! Or I might update before I leave.

Even so, I luv all my reviewers so press tha button and go on my luv list too!
