J Brown
J walked confidently onto the stage, and prepared for his first lift in the college weightlifting championships. He focused and went over the lift in his mind. To J, this was a routine lift, and aftre it was successfully completed he walked back into the holding room, passing by one of the officials. She was guarding the door to the holding room, making sure that nothign happened to the competitors. J had noticed that her name was Holly, and he had also noticed the way that she had looked at him. He turned and gave her a grin before closing the door behind him.
“She sure is a lovely young lady,” he thought to himself.
*******************************************
The competition was over, and a successful one for J, as he had lifted a personal best to win the title. Holly and J jad not exchnaged any words appart from a quick “hello” and “congratulations”, as officials and competitors were not permitted to speak during the competition.
After the presentation, J sauntered back to the holding room grabbed his bag, and made his way to the exit, finding Holly waiting. As he approached, she turned to face him, giving him a suggestive smile. J and Holly introduced themselves, and walked outsied whilst still talking. Some time later they noticed that the ground was slowly being covered by shadow, and that nobody else was about. They were alarmed at the amount of time that they had spent talking, and agreed to meet at a restaurant for dinner.

Ritchie - Why hasn’t she called back yet?
Ritchie sat up in his room for the third consecutive night waiting for Loz to call him back. He sat back in his chair feeling dejected, maybe she didn’t like him after all. Maybe it was just a joke and she was just fooling him around. “She had seemd so nice, exactly the point, why would a nice young lady like him?!” he though feeling sorry for himself. He turned around in his swivel chair and looked in the mirror. “It is time for a change” he said out loud.
“Change what?” Harry said walking in and dumping himself on Ritchie’s bed. Ritchie shrugged and dismissed the question. The two friends talked for awhile. He had to stop thinking about Loz, it was time to move on and get on with his life.

Sean - Rugby
Sean ate a hearty breakfast in silence and his mum sensed that there was something wrong. She looked up from the Saturday paper and gave him a quizical look. He looked up at her then picked up his bag and headed for the door.
“Hold on a minute,” She said getting up from her chair. Sean turned around and smiled at her. Christina seeing her son smiled, smiled back and simply said, “What about my kiss?”
Sean gave her a quick peck on the cheek and rushed out of the door. Christina sighed, her little baby was growing up so fast.
*************************************
“Good game Sean,” Sean’s rugby coach exclaimed grinning, “ you’re gonna make it big some day lad” Sean didn’t notice what his coach was saying, instead he looked past him over at the crowd, at Thuy and Fran. They seemed to be talking, thank goodness! He smiled and walked over to Justin. Justin turned away as Sean said ‘hi’. Sean wondered what was wrong, then he noticed Justin looking up at Thuy. So thats why Justin had been annoyed at him, he liked Thuy! Just then and idea came into Sean’s mind, how about Fran and Justin? That would get Justin’s mind off Thuy and Fran had always secretly fancied Justin.

Richard - distressed young lad
“I hate this school.” Richard exclaimed to his best mate Gary.
“What?!! You need to go the loo? Go then!!” Gary yelled back, he had his walkman blasting so he couldn’t hear properly.
Richard sighed and thought that any school would be better than this one. “His family always said he had so much talent, so why didn’t he go to one of those performing arts schools then?” Richard though to himself. He caught the bus on his own and arrived back at the bus stop to see Crys and Steve together again. Steve made another snide remark and then ordered Crys to get him a drink. Richard wasn’t having any of that.
“Why don’t you get one yourself?” Richard yelled out.
“Why don’t you mind your own business mummy’s boy? Shes my girlfrined and she’ll do what I say!”
Richard pushed Steve to the ground and punched him. Richard didn’t like to fight, he didn’t like hurting anyone or anything, but he hated Steve and the way he treated Crys. Steve retaliated by grabbing Richard by the Blazer and slamming him into the wall. Crys couldn’t handle this, she walked up to Steve and punched him too. Then she helped Richard to his feet and walked home with him. She apologised feeling terribly guilty and upset. Richard’s blazer was torn and his hat totally distorted. She left him at the bottom of his driveway still apologising. He told her not to worry about it and gave her a haldf hearted smile.
“Richard, what happened?!!” Richard’s mum exclaimed in a shocked and horrified tone.
