"I hear the field trip to Swanage is absolute carnage!" Jay exclaimed as the five of them stood outside the coach, waiting until it was their time to get on as they didn't all fancy being stuck on a coach for hours.

"I hear it isn't," Emma replied to them. "And besides, we're going there to learn and so we shouldn't really do anything which we shouldn't."

"But we should try and have a laugh," Simon piped up, sticking his hands into his pockets and shrugging awkwardly.

"Screw having a laugh," Jay snorted. "I'm going there to find my MILF."

"Excuse me?" Will asked him with a look of disbelief on his face. "You actually think that there is a MILF in Swanage?"

"My mate told me about her," Jay shrugged.

"This isn't the mate who once locked you in your shed and told you to strip is it?" Neil wondered and they all looked at Jay who narrowed his eyes at Neil.

"Shut up you mug," he said. "That never happened."

"Yes it did," Neil nodded, remaining adamant, "because you told me-"

"-Emma," a sudden voice interjected and she looked to her side to see Andrew who nodded at her and climbed onto the coach. She didn't nod back or make any eye contact with him as he said, fearing she may fall back into the trap of falling for him.

"I didn't know he was coming alone," Jay spoke up.

"Neither did I," Emma replied. "We'd best be getting on the bus. I don't want to end up sitting next to him."

Neil was the first to make a move and the four of them looked on at him with puzzled faces.

"You don't do Sociology or Geography," Emma pointed out.

"I know," he nodded.

"So why are you getting on the bus?" Will continued to push him.

"Mr Kennedy said I could come along," Neil said and they all began to laugh out loud.

"Paedo Kennedy?" Simon checked. "Why did he ask you along?"

"To help collect samples," Neil shrugged and got onto the bus.

"Of his spunk," Jay replied and Emma rolled her eyes at his crudeness as Will looked confused and they walked down the aisle of the bus. Emma took a seat in front of the back seat as the other's sat on the back seat. She turned around so her head was poking through the gap and she looked at them.

"You do realise the back seat isn't for people like you?"

"We're not going to give into social control," Will said proudly before the other three scampered and Will remained seated until Donovan came.

"We were here early to secure these seats!" Will snapped but it was no use as he was pushed from the seat.

"Ignore him," Simon told Emma as he sat beside her, noting her gaze was on Andrew as he sat next to his ex girlfriend and his hand stroked her hair and she hung onto his every word.

"He's stroking her like a dog," Emma muttered.

"That will be because she is nothing but a bitch," Simon said and Emma chuckled as Gilbert climbed onto the bus and Kennedy followed, thumbs up to Neil as he went.

The coach journey was long and tedious as Simon listened to his IPod and Emma fell asleep, her head resting on the headrest and occasionally falling onto Simon's shoulder. When they finally reached the seaside town and parked up they all disembarked. Gilbert managed to get his daughter to one side as Will, Simon, Neil and Jay stood talking.

"If Pearce bothers you then all you need to do is say," he told her, his eyes narrowed down into hers and she nodded at him.

"Thanks dad," she sighed. "But I don't intend on speaking to him for a long time so you don't need to worry."

"Well he won't try any funny stuff whilst I'm watching...even if he is back with that ex of his you don't care do you?"

"No."

"Damn," Gilbert sighed once. "I had hoped to make his life hell and not send off his UCAS application."

"No need dad," Emma chuckled before walking back over to the boys who were in the middle of a debate.

"I saw her first!" Will snapped at Simon.

"Alright!" Simon raised his hands up in surrender. "You can have her if you're going to get so tetchy."

"He's just tetchy because he is sexually frustrated...it's obvious...he hasn't had any," Jay shrugged.

"Neither have you," Emma said and Jay winked at her.

"Believe me," he began, "if you knew where I'd been...you'd be frothing to get some."

"I know where you've been and that is nowhere," Emma responded. "And I would only be frothing because I would be dying of a heart attack at the thought."

"We both know that's not true," Jay winked.

"Cartwright!" Gilbert suddenly snapped. "For speaking like that now you're helping the hostel staff with the washing up. Understand me?"

"But sir-"

"-No buts," Gilbert replied. "Now get up to your rooms before you all end up serving a years detention."

...

"That was so not fair!" Jay complained as he sat down next to Emma.

"You shouldn't have mentioned things like that whilst my dad was around," she told him.

"It was stupid mate," Neil nodded in sympathy.

"But if it was any other bird he wouldn't have minded!" Jay exclaimed.

"That's because they're not his daughter," Will said as he looked to the side and saw Lauren stood with a tray.

"Can I join you?"

"Move Neil!" Will demanded.

"It's alright," Jay said. "You can have my seat...I have to go and help with the washing up. You coming Neil?"

"To wash up?" Neil sounded appalled.

"And then we can go and see a woman about a pussy," Jay nodded suggestively and Neil then moved.

"I know what that means," Lauren said.

"So does everyone else," Emma muttered and the girl sat beside Simon who pushed Lauren to the edge of the bench.

"Sorry about them two," he said.

"I have a younger brother," she said as an excuse. "Idiots don't bother me. I'm Lauren by the way."

"Simon," he replied. "And this is Emma?"

"Are you that girl who everyone was going on about on the bus?" Lauren asked and Emma blinked.

"Pardon?"

"Well everyone was mentioning this girl named Emma and a boy named Piece?"

"Pearce?"

"That's the one," Lauren replied.

"Then yes. That is me," Emma sighed once.

"If it is any consolation then I didn't think what they were saying was nice," Lauren said.

"Feisty one you are," Will piped up in a high pitched voice.

"What?" Emma wondered as he continued to look at Lauren.

"Feisty one you are!"

"Why are you saying that?" Lauren asked.

"It is Yoda...from Star Wars?" Will checked with her and she chuckled.

"I thought you had a condition or something," she said and Simon laughed once and Will looked deflated.

...

"Where have you been this afternoon?" Will asked when they saw Emma.

"I had to work with Andrew," she snapped at them.

"What?" Jay checked. "Did he try anything?"

"He didn't dare," she replied. "Mr Rason put us together. Arse."

"Sit down," Simon said. "You look as pale as a ghost."

"I just want to go and hit him...he didn't do anything but the things he said...telling me how I will realise I made a mistake dumping him...absolute tosser!"

"Calm down Em," Will urged her. "He's not worth getting angry over."

Emma sat on the bottom bunk and sighed once, taking a deep breath before they heard a knock on the door and rushed over to it as it was Lauren.

"There's a party Em," Simon said. "You up for it?"

"I'm fine," she said. "I'll stay here...you go on."

"You're going to stay in our room?" Simon asked her.

"It's either this or go back to Susie and she smells funny."

"Make yourself at home then," Will shrugged and they left her to fall asleep on the bottom bunk.

...

"Emma!" a voice in the middle of the night hissed as Simon heard the door open. He was in the bottom bunk with Emma against him and the wall, sleeping soundly. She awoke with a start as Simon pulled the duvet up around her head with haste. They all watched on as Kennedy moved into the room and stood near Neil. As he lowered his hands to the teen the door opened again and Gilbert walked in, ushering him out and pointing at the boys.

"Did that just happen or was it a dream?" Will asked.

"It was your wet dream," Jay replied.

"No. It wasn't," Will replied.

"Shut up," Emma replied. "I'm tired and want to sleep."

"Your dad could have seen you here," Simon hissed at her.

"I have clothes on. He wouldn't have cared."

"Want a bet?"

...

"Why are we going on a boat?" Emma asked as they saw Will stood on the wooden platform and they stood in front of him.

"For a laugh?" Jay replied. "But miss prim and proper doesn't do fun."

"Shut up Jay," Emma snapped.

"Permission to come aboard?" Emma asked as they approached Will, saluting him.

"Permission denied. I'm taking Lauren out later."

"Later," Jay said, clambering into the boat. "Not now."

"Irrelevant," Will replied. "I have a deposit on this boat."

"Come on Will," Simon said. "Just for ten minutes."

"Fine," Will huffed. "Don't expect me to take you to sea though."

They all managed to get onto the boat and Will started the engine up, steering the boat towards the end of the harbour as Simon stood up, embracing the air as he did so.

"Simon!" Emma shouted as the boat began to weave about. She grasped onto his hand as he lost balance and fell into the water, pulling her with him. The two of them splashed around in the cold water, their blue uniform completely drenched. Emma wrapped her arms around Simon's neck and held onto him tightly as he tried to keep to the surface.

"Are you trying to drown me?" he snapped at her.

"I'm trying to stay alive!"

"By killing me?"

"Grab onto the rope!" Will shouted as he threw the rope into the water. Emma grasped onto it as quickly as she could and allowed Will to haul her back into the boat, her body shivering as she went. Simon managed to swim over to her and pull his body into the boat.

"Holy shit I'm cold!" Simon snapped.

"You need to take your clothes off!" Will said and tried to start the boat again.

"I knew you were gay from him," Jay chuckled.

"It's basic survival," Will rolled his eyes.

"In that case..." Jay mused. "Emma...you need to strip."

"What?" she asked incoherently.

"No!" Will snapped and Neil suddenly hauled a large fish onto the boat as Simon began to take his clothes off.

"It's a fish!" Jay jumped back. "No! It is a shark!"

"It's just a fish," Neil shrugged and Emma huddled up to Will for warmth.

"It's a terrifying shark fish!" Jay shouted and grasped onto the spark, allowing it to fly into the air.

"Why did you do that?" Will snapped. "We're one hundred metres from shore with a fish!"

"We need the sea police!" Jay snapped.

"I think I need to kill it," Neil mused.

"Why?" Will asked.

"Because it has left it's natural environment." Neil said and began to punch it. They all recoiled in shock as blood went everywhere and they all looked onto it.

"We need to keep Si warm," Will said and stood up, huddling around him as Emma remained on the floor of the boat, huddled in a corner.

"Kylie!" Simon suddenly shouted and dropped the blanket onto Emma's head. Maybe that was for the best, as the sight wasn't one which anyone needed to see.

...

"I'm disappointed in you Emma," Gilbert told his daughter once they returned home.

"I didn't mean to fall into the water!" she snapped.

"Well you embarrassed the whole school...you and your stupid friends."

"Dad!" Emma replied.

"It's true," he replied.

"They're not stupid...just slightly odd."

...
