Mitchell and I arrived in class and saw Stephen crying, Chantelle hugging him and Joe in front of him with a box of tissues.

"Babes, what's wrong?" I asked.

"My parents are taking me away from Abbey Grove! I hate them!"

"Hey, it's okay we'll sort this out. Awh look at you come here" I sympathised and engulfed him in a big hug. "I'm not letting you leave babes, I promise"

"Hey, what happened?" Alfie asked as he walked into class.

"His parents are making him leave Abby Grove" Chantelle explained. "They said it's not academical enough" Stephen added.

"What? You can't leave. Have your parents seen the league tables?" Alfie replied sitting on his desk.

"The one where were ranked below two orphanages and the kennels? Sure bring that up" I said.

"They want me to become some boring lawyer, sir, are you and Miss Gulliver cool at the mo?" Stephen asked.

"Yeah, I mean she just broke up with Alex so I think I have just enough time to seduce her before she remembers her self-worth" Alfie explained.

"You going to give her a knob to cry on sir?" Mitchell joked from behind me snaking his arms around my waist.

"Actually no Mitchell, I believe your mum is consoling herself on it tonight."

I moved my head to the side and looked up at him and saw that his face had dropped from a smirk to his 'fuck you' face. I kissed his cheek which made him look down at me and smile.

"Can you ask Miss Gulliver to persuade my parents to let me stay here?" Stephen asked.

"Why can't I do it?"

"Cause you'll mess it up sir"

"But I'm great with parents!"

"Whenever you see my parents you insist on taking your shoes off" Jing commented.

"And I bow, respectful"

"[in Chinese] they think you're a dick"

"oh, shay shay. Nee how" he replied not knowing what he nor Jing has just said.

"She said that her parents think you're a dick sir" I spoke.

"Don't be silly Katie what do you know about Chinese?" Alfie hushed me.

"[in chinese] I know more then you ever will you virgin pompous ass" I replied proud of myself that I'd spoken Chinese for the first time in a while. Jing let out a small laugh at what I'd called Alfie.

Everyone just stared at me in shock.

"What? I translate what Jing says all the time! No one believed that I know what she says?" I laughed.

Alfie then went on to talk about how he made a coffee shop have a sign saying "do not drink directly from the nozzle" which was pretty boring so I stopped listening properly.

~~

"Okay, there will be no history class today" Miss Gulliver spoke as she came into our classroom and everyone cheered.

"I will be doing a drugs talk so if you have any questions you'd like to ask?"

"Yeah, Miss is it true police dogs can't smell skunk if you put it in a bottle of Femfresh?" Mitchell asked.

"I sincerely doubt it"

"Awh man, anyone want some Femfresh?" RemDogg asked.

"I'll take it, my flat gets smelly" Alfie spoke clearly oblivious.

"Do you know what Femfresh is?" Jing asked.

"It's like Febreeze, right?"

"Yeah, it makes your curtains smell nice" Mitchell joked and laughed along with everyone.

He gestured what Femfresh was and Alfie made a disgusted face.

Miss then brought in a cardboard cut out of a girl.

"Miss why are you showing us Mona Vanderwall after a night?" I asked.

"This is Maria, now what do people like her need?" She asked practically ignoring my question.

"A drug mule from Mexico"

"Oh yeah, if I lived on Mexican goods I couldn't keep anything in my ass" Alfie joked and we all laughed.

"What do people like Maria need?"

"Hair straighteners? Look at the split ends on that" Stephen replied.

"True that, any maybe some makeup to fix this car crash" Alfie gestured to the cutouts face.

"Maybe better dress sense?" I added.

"No, what Maria needs is our respect."

"G's hustlers, crisis averted" Fraser spoke as he entered the classroom. "Your drugs counsellor has arrived."

"No, no, no, see I'm giving my talk on-"

"no need Miss G, I have a professional up my wizards sleeve"

"Ew" I simply said as Fraser gently pulled miss out of the way as a woman with a suitcase looking bag walked into the class. I saw in my peripheral vision Mitchell mouthing the word "fit" I slapped his arm.

"Right here" I whispered.

"I love you" he whispered back and kissed my cheek.

"Hmm, love you too"

I turned my chair a little so that I could put my legs on Mitchell's lap as the woman began to speak. "Namaste, I'm India" she introduced herself. Alfie then introduced himself as

"Alfie, teacher, leader, legend" which made me laugh, he shot me a glare just making me laugh more.

"Barely a teacher" I mumbled making RemDogg laugh as he was the only person to hear it.

India then went on to talk about how where she works and how it gives non-judgmental advice

"I'm sorry can we loose the fat girl?" She said, making my look up from my hands sort of thinking she was talking about me.

"If you thought for one second she was talking about out I swear" Mitchell whispered.

"I didn't" I lied and looked back down at my hands, I decided to draw on them so I took my pen from the table and began to doodle.

Then music came blaring from a speaker and disco lights displayed vibrant colours over the walls.

"Okay, yeah, you're having a massive night, the sun is coming up and you're completely chunged!" She said through a microphone. I saw Fraser in his element by the door, dancing away like there was no tomorrow. She then turned off the music and Fraser turned the normal lights back on.

"The good times are over, you now have to suffer the consequences of drug abuse. You" she pointed to Mitchell. "Lost your Oyster card, it's a long walk back to Chiswick"

"You" she pointed to Jing. "Lost an earring your grandmother left you in her will, that's 45 minutes on your hands and knees using your phone as a torch"

"You" she pointed to RemDogg "you kissed the guy who runs the deli you go into everyday"

I laughed at RemDogg making him throw a pen at me. "And you" she pointed at me. "You wake up in the middle of an alleyway in someone else's clothes and in a different state then later find out that you slept with your sister"

"Are these all experiences you've had? Because they're very detailed for 'examples'." I asked. She just rolled her eyes.

"This is nonsense" Miss Gulliver scoffed.

"Nonsense? You're being a real negatude!" India "insulted"

"Negatude?" Miss asked.

"Yeah, negative attitude, it's a mashup"

"yeah, it's a mashup, get with the times Marple." Alfie defended India.

"Oi" I whispered to get Mitchell and RemDoggs attention and they learnt in closer.

"How my do you bet that India does drugs?"

"Tenner she does" Mitchell replied.

"Same, Remi?"

"Nah, tenner she don't"

"you're on" I laughed.

~~

Mitchell, RemDogg and I were sitting together at lunch.

"Okay, I'm going to eavesdrop to just shush okay" I chuckled. They put their thumbs up as I listened in on Alfie and India's conversation. I'm very good at eavesdropping, I have quite strong hearing.

"So if we go to this rave tonight, are you going to take anything, like, you know to help you through?" I heard India ask.

"Yeah, well if we're going dancing at the break of dawn I'll probably need my supportive in-soles" I face-palmed at my history teachers stupidity.

"No, no, drugs" I had to lip read as she whispered the last part.

"Remi, you owe us a tenner each!" I made a drum roll sound on the table.

"What did they say?" Mitchell asked

"they're going to a rave, she asked if he was going to take something and Alfie said he's going to take his supportive in-soles" I rolled my eyes.

"And she corrected him by saying 'no, drugs' so pay up bitch" I said and help out my hand for RemDogg to hand me £10.

"Fine" he groaned and took his money out of the pocket of his jacket and handed me a £10 note and Mitchell the same.

"Thank you" I smiled.

~~

"What do you mean none of you sell drugs?" Alfie asked our class.

"We mean, we're not like India" I replied.

"India is the drugs counsellor, she doesn't take drugs"

"Only nine to five babe" I said in impersonating India.

"Right, I forgot that you listen to everything" he replied.

"Yup, it's how I blackmail. So, you want to buy drugs to impress a drugs counsellor, you called it Dirty Viennetta, which doesn't exist, and you're asking a bunch of 15 and 16 year olds to buy it for you because you already gave Grayson all of your money to get you some?" I recapped the last 30 minutes of my life of Alfie explaining all of this.

"Yup"

"Okay, just wanted to be sure I didn't loose any details" I smiled and sat back in my chair.

"Oh, boom squared!" Alfie rose form his seat.

"If I can't buy the drug, I'm going to make the drug" he smiles.

"You're an idiot, you know that?" I added.

"No, I'm a genius"

"I assume you want us, 15 and 16 year olds, to help you cool drugs in school?"

"Yeah, Mitchell you must know something about drugs" Alfie asked.

"Yeah, my brother spent so long in a Thai prison, he came out speaking fluent scouse" Mitchell replied, making me chuckle at the memory.

"Alright, you'll be my head chef, my LS-Delia."

Mitchell snapped his fingers in celebration and I just rolled my eyes. Alfie somehow convinced Jing to do the science aspect of it all.

~~

Everyone was doing their parts accept for me who started to feel sick from the fumes, "jesus." I spoke. "I'll be right back" I said walking out of the room and to the toilets where I stayed until I thought they'd be done. I walked back in when Mia Gulliver walked out.

"So you want me to die a virgin?" Alfie asked.

"Okay, Mitchell I can sense you sniggering and Katie wipe the smirk off yeah"

~~

Joe and I were walking with Alfie who was still going along with the horrific plan.

"Alfie, you don't have to do this, Mis Gulliver's right, you have loads of great qualities that India would love." I said.

"What great qualities?" He asked looking for compliments.

"You can speak Elvish" Joe said.

"Just 'where's the toilet' and 'can I have some tap water'"

"Well, were impressed."

"And, you can talk to people when they're going through shit, you can relate to people on a whole other level, you a really good listener and you an amazing person to talk to" I said.

"Thank you guys. You're right, I don't need to do this."

"Hey, Albert do you want to hit up some Chamomile tea?" India came walking towards us.

"Okay"

"You're teaching us Alfie" I interrupted making India give me a look of pure disgust so I just gave one back.

"Yeah, you're learning about the build up of hostilities prior to the First World War. Downtown Abbey series one is on my desk." He nodded towards the classroom.

"No wonder Grayson calls you that" I muttered and walked into class pulling Joe along with me.

~~

Alfie ran into our classroom and hid under Joe's table. "Alfie?" Joe asked

"who's Alfie? My name is Ariel" he replied.

"Get up Alfie" I ordered and Joe pushed him away form under the table and he was face to face with a police dog, held on a lead with two officers.

"Officers, this is Mr Wickers." Pro Green introduced them.

"Bitch" I muttered.

"He's taken those drugs" I whispered to Mitchell who stood up along with me and the rest of the class to stand at the front of the room. Mitchell stood behind me with his arms around my waist and his head resting on my shoulder.

Alfie went on about waiting for prince Eric to come and how he's Ariel and Joe was Flounder.

"I've got to get Miss Gulliver!" Joe exclaimed as he ran out of the classroom.

~~

Stephens parents had walked into the room seeing Alfie shirtless with paper over his nipples to look like a bra.

"Who here would ever touch drugs after this?" Miss asked. No one out their hand up accept for Mitchell who, without thinking, did so. I slapped him, in the stomach, but I missed and hit him a few inches down. he groaned and put his hand down making me laugh.

"Please, dad, I'm so happy here" Stephen pleased for his dad to allow him to stay.

"Please Mr Carmichael, it won't be the same without Stephen, he's my best friend, I don't know what I'd do without him here." I added. "I'll think about it" he said and we all cheered. Stephen, Chantelle and I had a little group hug.

"Why don't you swim with me? The waters so lovely and warm" Alfie said to Rosie and looked down making her do so too

"oh my god Alfie" she said putting her head in her hands.

"Hah, sir pissed himself" Mitchell said pointing at him with his adorable goofy laugh.
