Warning: Homophobic language

Chapter Eleven

The assembly was exactly what they thought it was going to be, it was just another talk about when they come to year 11. As they were trying to get out by pushing and shoving like rats in a cage. The exit door was a small wooden one, you could almost see the bronze hinges hanging of. As one by one got out, as people kept dragging people back by their bags to make it in front.

There were still mindless chatter among the struggle, Steven sighed as he ran past the teachers and out the fire exit door.

"Hay!" a teacher shouted, though he was already gone.

"I'm going out the fire exit" Dodger told them, thinking he was smart as he tried to copy Ste by running though he felt a teacher grab the back of his bag.

"Not today Savage" the same teacher spoke, as they pulled him back.

Mark sighed in defeat, as they pointed towards the exit. As he walked back over unhappy, the exit door was still full. As he slowly walked behind, taking one step forward each time. The teachers were pretty pleased with themselves.

"Move it!" Mark groaned furiously.

Amy was still not out, as she was in the middle of the scrimmage. She felt Mark pull her back by her bag. As she went backwards, as he pulled her all the way towards him.

"Alright?" Mark asked an unimpressed Amy. She looked at him with slight anger, as she looked away. Not saying anything, giving him the silent treatment.

"I take that as a yes" Mark spoke again

He tried to place his arm around her. She brushed him of, as she finally got to the exit and out of the exit door quickly. Walking down the corridor quickly, making her way out of the school and onto the outside part of the school.

"Amy, English is the other way" Mark spoke, just increasing her already burning anger.

As she turned around, waiting for him to leave. He put his hands up, in surrender posture before walking back in the school. As she watched him leave until he was out her eye sight; standing still till he was gone.

She made her back towards the door, opening it up. As she walked into the next corridor, looking for the English room. As she moved one of her plats away from her face, her mother Kathy would rather Amy has a hair cut. It's too long according to Kathy.

It took her a couple more minutes until she found the room, she was late. As she walked in, to find all the seats but one has been taken.

"Why are you late?" the teacher Mr Gregson asked her.

"I couldn't find the room, I'm new so" Amy spoke nervously, as the whole class had their eyes on her.

"Okay well sit next to Wayne for me" Gregson pointed towards the ginger haired kid.

Michaela's ex boyfriend who he dumped yesterday as witnessed by Amy herself. As she reluctantly sat besides him, she had to reluctantly do a lot of things lately. Wayne looked at her, chewing bubble gum.

Gregson put an exercise book on Amy's table, as she pushed it towards herself. Writing her name on it. This was her first English class in this school, as she looked to the front after writing the date, title and learning objectives.

"Okay" Gregson finally spoke after writing on the board. Today they were going to learn about Shakespeare for the first time. To help them in Year 11.

"Okay, put your hand up if you know a Shakespeare play" Gregson spoke, as some hands half rose up.

"Kevin"

"Er, Romeo and Juliet" Kevin replied, as he leaned forward again on the chair.

"Yes, Vinnie"

"Othello" Vinnie replied nervously, he was quite shy.

"Jay"

"Winnie the Pooh" Jay spoke on purpose, he just said it as a joke. As some of the class laughed.

"No Jay, surprisingly William Shakespeare did not write Winnie the Pooh" the teacher spoke, the class laughed again.

"Aw, I thought he did; my queer father lied to me" Jay spoke, as he changed the mood. As the whole class went silent, the teacher paused.

"Jay, none of that language in here; you always take the joke too far" Gregson paused again before starting to talk again. As he wrote down some more Shakespeare plays on the whiteboard.

"Sorry was I offending the queer in here" Jay hissed, staring at Ste. Who stood up, he wasn't going to take that comment lightly.

"Jay, get out before you cause more trouble" Gregson commanded, as he walked over to him.

He nodded, as he pushed his chair back as he tried to shove it behind at Ste on purpose. As he stormed out, making people shudder slightly.

"Steven sit down please; I will deal with him" Gregson spoke, as he moved the chair back to where Jay first had it.

"Why did Jay have to leave? It should have been Ste" one of Jay's homophobic friends Wayne snarled, he was sitting right besides Amy.

"You can make you way out as well Wayne" Gregson spoke, Ste stood up again. As he pushed his chair, storming out and slamming the door.

"I'm not surprised he left, are you Wayne?" Gregson asked him rhetorically.

"Screw this shit!" Wayne stood up, slightly making Amy jump. As he too pushed his chair, as he too stormed out and slammed the door shut.

"I will be back in a minute class, all stay in your seats please" Gregson commanded as he made his way outside.

As Ste and Jay were involved in a fight, it was normal in this school. To see a fight in the middle of the hallway. As soon as Gregson left the room, the class got from their seats as they all went towards the door to look out the door window.

Mark took it book as he sat besides Amy which she was grateful for. She didn't want to sit besides Wayne again, she can see why Michaela didn't want to be with him anymore.

"I feel sorry for you Amy, having to sit next to a homophobe" Mark started, as he chucked Wayne's book across the room.

"Is he really? I thought they were joking" Amy spoke, biting her top lip.

"Yeah homophobic joking" Mark replied.
