Chapter 15 – Lab Partners.
The corridors of the college were plastic, too modern. Much had never appreciated how good this college was, teaching wise, and now he was going to have to leave, thrown out, like a dog on the street.
He tapped on the Head's door, lightly and cautiously until he heard a gruff voice, "Come in."
"Mr. Miller," The head looked at him, eyebrows raised, "Punching, twice in the same day! Robin Hood and then Carter O'Hara...this cannot go unpunished...but how..." The head, who was ever so slightly mad, looked at Much wide eyed as his frown curled into a grin, "This...problem; between you and Robin can't go on, I am ignorant to the situation, although I am not oblivious to the fact something is going on between you both. You will have detention every lunch time, 1:00pm, in this room, until I see fit. You and Robin will both have some counselling sessions after school, these detentions and sessions will begin after on Friday and continue after half term, when I have overcome my workload. Out!"

The ICT room, where the biology A-Level students were listening to, and yawning at, the teacher. The chairs were cushioned and blue and the computers, new 'Dells', and quite high-tech compared to the rest of the old school building.
Robin, Carter, Much, Will, Djaq, Marian, Allan and Jessica had all taken Biology A level. Surprisingly they were the only ones in the whole year. It was the last Friday before half term, last lesson. Over the half-term they had to do a project on a certain part of the body, in partners chosen by the teacher, Mrs. Sole.
"Carter and Allan, you'll do the heart, Much and Robin, the stomach and abdomen, Will and Jessica, the legs, and how they work, muscles and tissues, Marian and Djaq, the cranium and brain." This was followed by groans, "I have chosen people that don't often work together in groups, to see how well each works together. You will both have to take some time out of your holiday to meet up. I want at least a five minute presentation, it will count for 25 of your grade. For this lesson I will give you free time to work together and plan, you are free to research on the internet, please sit with your partner."
Everyone sat still.
"Get on with it!" She shrieked.
They got up all of a sudden, heading towards their partners.
Robin and Much sat side by side, backs to one another talking to the person next to them, "This is rubbish," Robin hissed.
"I know..."Much said slowly, "We'll meet up Mondays my house. Wednesday, yours. Yeah?"
"Yeah..." Robin grunted, turning to Carter and researching without Much.
