Chapter 1 Scott Robinson

Scott hurried across the road dodging cars as he went. He had to catch up with his mates, get into his form room before 9pm and talk to Amrit and Loz before they went to school. It was already 8.30 and time was running out fast. ‘Amrit, Loz wait up!!’ he called after the two younger girls. They turned around and as usual started giggling. ‘Whats up Scottie boy?’ they chortled as they stopped and faced him. Scott chuckled, these girls were definately weird but then so was he in a way. He caught up with them, gave them his usual cheeky grin and put his arms around them as they kept walking. He told them about the party he was planning and eagerly awaited their answer. The girls said they’d try to make it and that contented him.Ten minutes passed as he chatted to the girls then he realised he was walking in the wrong direction and had no chance of getting to his school in 20 minutes. The girls giggled as he ran down the street, he was such a funny boy, he was ever so sweet!! Around the corner came Joanna, the world’s biggest snob, she clutched her tiny bag, unappropriately decked in ten times too much makeup and totteered along in her high heels. The minute she caught a glimpse of Scott she started calling out. Scott ran on oblivious, but she carried on calling and just as he turned around she tripped up and went flying through the air ans face first onto the har concrete pathway. The two girls giggled again, not even trying to conceal their amusement. Scott rushed to help her, what a chap?!! Joanna got up slowly, red in the face but seemingly unharmed and fell straight into Scott’s arms. The girls saw him helping her and walked on still laughing tremendously. Scott had been a long time friend of them and despite the three year age difference he always invited them everywhere he went.

“Mr Robinson, late again, sorry no allowances this time, go and get a laet note!” Mrs Carter said with a stern look on her face. “but Miss, I am only 10 minutes late, I just had to see these friends of mine, it was sooo important and then Joanna fell over and......” “I’m not interested, go and get a note right now!!” Great Scott thought as he walked down the empty corridor, now HE wouldn’t be able to go the party, his Mum had had just about enough of all these notes he kept getting! He walked on wishing he didn;t have to go to school, wishing he could be with his mates right now having a laugh anf partying. He could see that wasn’t going to be possible any time soon, he’d have to go to college and work after school was finally finished and the boring cycle would start again! He wished he could be famous, this thought always consoled him. When he pictured the miles of girls screaming out how mucht hey loved him, the millions of dollars tumbling in, no it wasn’t just that, he pictured the proud faces of his parents! Thats what he wanted the most, his parents to be happy, yeah they were already proud but he could make them extra proud, he knew what he wanted and he WAS going to do it! “Scott wake up, you should be in class right now!” a mean voice called out. Scott whirled around to see his favourite (yeah right!) teacher walking towards him, a grim look on her face. She lectured him about the importance of punctuality and Scott began to despair again. This was going to be a long day, he could see it now!
*****************
“No Mum I wasn’t purposely bunking off school! Would I do that? I just got late!!” “No party Scott actually no going out full stop. Not until you get your act together at least, 10 late notes in 3 weeks, its ridiculous! Now go and clean up your room, dinners almost ready!” Scott went up the stairs in despair, no party or going out meant not seeing his pals. Why did the bad stuff always happen to him? He couldn’t manage without his mates for a whole weekend, it just wasn’t fair to keep a 16 year old boy indoors the hwole weekend just for being late. He got to his room and slammed the door shut then grabbed the phone off the hook. He had to do something to stop him from being so bored. 804956, he dialed Amrit’s number and waited for her to pick up. “Hello” She said in her usual happy go lucky voice, in the background he could hear Ace of Base booming out of the CD player and he could hear Loz and Billie raving over how brilliant Dean Cain was in this weeks Lois and Clark. “Hey babe, hows it going?” he said. Immediately Amrit sensed the not so happy tone of Scott’s voice. She wondered what was wrong, “Whats up Scott, you alright?” she said. Scott spotting the concern in her voice felt a sudden surge of happiness, the girl of his dreams did care abotu him after all. He went on to explain the situation then chatted to Loz and Billie for a while. The girls were so sweet, shame he couldn’t spend the weekend with them like he’d planned. Just as he was saying “ta-rah” to the girls his Mum stormed into the room. Scott said a quick “see ya” and then hung up quickly. Thats was it now, he would be banned form the phone aswell. He got a lecture from his Mum and it ended with his phone being pulled out from the cord and slung in the downstairs cupboard. It wasn’t coming back in a hurry he could see.
