Silverdale Boarding School For The Gifted II

Leon laughed again.
"I never said I was anything special." he explained as he watched the other cars zoom by. "You on the other hand seem to think you are."

---

Josh turned around quickly.
"Die? You're gonna kill him too?!"

"Well you seem to think you can pull anyone in school... And you're going after people like... Lance," Tom shivered, "Seriously! That's like me going after... Carter!"

He paused for a moment, "And you're really creepy."

---

"YES! YES I AM!" Maya screamed and carried on furiously jabbing buttons. She paused, "Wait... what?" She spluttered.

Leon frowned.
"Isn't Carter really easy? That Matt faggot seems to have pulled her."
"Can you even say faggot when you're gay?" Tom asked.
"...I'm not gay." Leon responded with a surprised obsession.

---

Josh winked at Maya.
"I'll take off my belt-" Saphira slapped him around the head.
"Nobody is taking off their pants!"
"No, I meant we could strangle-"
"NOBODY." Saphira repeated.

"WHAAAT?!" Tom stood up against his seatbelt, bashing his head against the overhead compartment then hitting the seat in front of him with a surprising force, "Whatdoyoumeanyournotgay?" He said quickly, the words coming out in one surprised burst.

---

"Taking off pants? Strangle? Belt?" Maya stammered, "I think my brain is melting..." She whined, "Who are you trying to kill?" She leaned forward with surprising interest.

---

"Soo, Mr. Body."
"Shut up."
"Sir I-"
"Shut up."
"But I-"
"Quiet."
"DID YOU SLEEP WITH SOPHIA ANGEL?!" Jake shouted as loudly as he could manage.

Leon looked down with a slightly offended look.
"No! I'm totally into girls." he explained earnestly. "Why is this such a surprise?"

---

"Alex because we can't kill Sophie because she has a baby inside of her." Josh rambled on. Saphira was about to respond when she overheard Jake screaming something.
"Jake, you idiot." she groaned.

"You are?" Tom stammered and turned to face Leon, looking for any signs he was lying. on his face. He shook his head, "Oh... um... maybe because you've been chatting up every guy in school. And... the... um... obvious," Tom waved his hands in Leon's direction who raised his eyebrows, "The way you look."

---

Maya raised an eyebrow, "So... Why is killing Alex the logical solution? Surely it would make sense that you wait until the baby is gone and then you kill Sophie. Or you kill Sophie's estranged lover?" She replied in a bemused tone.

---

"Jake you idiot..." Jake slapped a hand against his head.
"What did you just say?" Mr. Body stood up, finding himself lodged halfway in a strange not quite standing but not quite sitting position.
Jake gulped, "I said, did you sleep with Sophia Angel?"

Leon tried not to cry and turned to face the window so that Tom couldn't see how upset he was.
"The way I look..?" Great. His self esteem was already pretty low. He didn't need this shit as well.

---

"I can't be bothered listening to Alex moan and bitch all through this trip." Josh snorted. Saphira tutted angrily.
"You're a terrible best friend."

---

Lexy kicked the seat in front of her out of boredom. The kid in front turned around and snarled. She shrunk back and promised not to do it again.

Meanwhile Danny was sat next to her with a confused look on his face.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I just overheard those two over there say something about Sophie..." he muttered, pointing to two of the gossiping Barbie dolls who were whispering quietly close by.

"Would you like to say it again?" Mr. Body seethed.
"Christ, are you deaf or something?" Jake rolled his eyes, "Or would you rather I asked the question to the entire coach."
Mr. Body panicked, "Don't bother."
"Why, do you have something to hide?" Jake grinned.

---

"So you want to kill him?" Maya said slowly, folding up her DS and placing it in her bag, "Do you have to go so OTT? Can't you just... Um... Mentally scar him or something?"

---

"Well it's just, if you wear tops with necklines down to your knees it's bound to... um... raise a few eyebrows?" Tom cringed, "And there's the whole chatting up guys thing..." He re-enforced his point.

"Piss off." Leon swore at Tom. He was sick of being picked on. He shouldn't have come to this school. He pictured an MP3 player in his head and it appeared in his hands. He shoved the earphones in and put the volume up.

He swore under his breath as electric six played.

---

Josh sighed.
"I really can't deal with this shit. Nobody should have to at this age." he complained. Saphira rolled her eyes.
"Oh shut up, Josh. It's not like it affects you much at all."

"Josh, you're not even the one with the pregnant girlfriend with a baby that isn't even yours..?" Maya said slowly, "Don't kill him," She added at the end, giving him a strange look.

---

Tom stole an earphone from Leon's ear, "What are you listening to?" He grinned and put it in his own ear.

---

"Fine then, I'll do it," He unclipped his seatbelt and stood in the centre of the aisle, grabbing on to seats for support, "MR BODY DID YOU SLEEP WITH- agh!" He jumped as Mr. Body made a grab for his arm.

Josh shrugged and went back to playing Cooking Mama.
"Then help me kill Sophie."

---

Leon quickly fumbled with the MP3 player and switched the song. He watched as Tom put the earphone in his ear and smiled. The song that was beginning to play was fairly familiar but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. He froze as the chorus of Y.M.C.A by the Village People blasted into his and Tom's ears.

"Please say we're talking metaphorically..?" Maya widened her eyes, "Why can't you just... I don't know scare her. I mean if you kill her you're giving her an easy ride surely."

---

Tom froze, 'don't act like a dick, don't act like a dick, don't act like a dick'. He laughed out loud, "Seriously..." He continued to laugh, "If you're trying to convince people otherwise you're not going the right way about it... Not that anyone would care if you were. I mean-" He swallowed, "Most people know you're gay anyway. What with the flirting and everything. They'd feel much more comfortable if you were... straight? about it?"

---

"Gerrof me!" Jake protested, "Fine, but seriously... Did you sleep with Sophie?"
Mr. Body huffed, "I am not obliged to answer that..."
"So you are hiding something?"
"No, I'm not!"
Jake smiled with satisfaction, "It's not like she'd sleep with you anyway..."

Alexa watched Danny freeze as he heard the rather loud conversation towards the front of the bus. Other people were beginning to listen in as well.
"Of course Alex is the dad." he hissed. Alexa nodded in agreement.

---

Leon snatched the ear phones back.
"I'm not gay. Stop telling everybody I am." he snapped.

---

"Oh who gives a fuck about Sophie, I just made the perfect ommlette!" Josh exclaimed with joy.

"Ommelettes are overrated," Maya waved off his comment, "And you obviously 'give a fuck about Sophie' if you're planning to... you know... kill her and everything."

---

Tom scowled and took away both headphones, "Stop being so... hormonal! You give off a huge massive 'I'm gay' vibe... Jesus Christ if you were any further in the closet you'd be hitting fucking Narnia!"

"Piss off, I'm not gay." Leon insisted. He took his earphones back and turned the volume back up. He wasn't going to put up with Tom any more.

---

Josh glared at Maya.
"Leave my omelette out of this. Anyway, Sophie isn't my problem. Alex is."

"Would you like to put it to public vote?" Tom seethed and stood up, "Seriously, it's your choice... Just get it into your head NO ONE CARES. I'm sure people would rather you admitted it than creeped them out and denied it, no one likes a liar."

---

"Omelettes are overrated," She reasoned, "And how is Sophie not your problem? She's the root of the entire thing! She let Alex convince himself he was having a child through a 'special hug'..."

Leon tried not to cry and shook his head.
"I'm not lying. I know what's true and what isn't. I don't care what you think. Just fuck off."

---

Josh shrugged.
"It's really not our business. We're not involved." he decided.

"No, we're not involved... Yet you want to go out and kill someone!" Maya replied incredulously.

---

"Fine, whatever, if that's what you want to believe... So what now? I'm not sitting awkwardly with you for the rest of the journey..." Tom scowled.

Leon, glared at Tom and unclipped his seatbelt. He squeezed past Tom, trying not to touch him and walked to the seat behind. He looked at Catherine.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" he asked without waiting for a reply as he sat down and fastened himself in.

---

"Yep. I'm frustrated." Josh muttered calmly. Saphira was now ignoring the situation. She really couldn't be bothered with it all either.

"Ugh, how about we talk about something nice?! That isn't murder... You can focus on that when we get to wherever the hell we're going..." Maya trailed off, craning her neck to look out of the window.

---

"If this seat is good enough for you! I mean Jake completely ignored it and Tom didn't want it," Catherine began to rant, "I mean come on! Seriously!" She stopped and smiled sweetly, "Yes, you can sit there."

"AIAIAIAIAIAI" Alex screamed as he shot awake. "BELLY DANCING BABIES, IT WAS CREEPY." he howled in Josh's face. Saphira closed her eyes and tried to ignore everything. She didn't want to hear any more nonsense about babies.

---

Leon smiled warmly. It was nice to finally have somebody be kind to him.
"I should have sat here in the first place. I don't understand why a lovely girl such as yourself hasn't got people queuing up to sit with her." he sighed.

"Because it seems my idiot of a friend would rather annoy the hell out of you than sit next to me," Catherine crossed her arms, "Anyway, we haven't met properly! I'm Cathy!" She smiled.

---

Maya rolled her eyes, "Brilliant," She shook her head and turned to Saphira who seemed completely bored of it all, "You know what's creepier?" She attempted to change the subject but fell short half way there, "Er... Um... Mr. Body... In a bikini?"

Saphira sobbed uncontrollably.
"My... eyes..." she breathed. Maya tried to comfort her.
"I know... I know... I'm sorry." she awkwardly apologised.

---

Leon grinned.
"I'm Leon. I'm pretty lonely at the moment because I don't have any friends. It's a pleasure to meet you, Cathy."

"Lonely leon..." Catherine smiled, "Has a nice yet creepy and depressive ring to it... So..." She searched her mind for a question, "Um... yeah! What powers do you have?"

---

"Really, really sorry," Maya held on to her own head, "Ewwwwww. Seriously. Sorry. Bad idea."

She paused for a moment, "But hey! Josh! If you wanted to mentally scar Sophie or Alex..."

Josh turned around.
"Alex wears skirts and belly dances. He is invincible.*"

---

"Oh, picture stuff and it appears and I can walk up walls and stuff." Leon picture a rose and pulled it out of the air to prove his point. He handed it to Catherine with a wink. "What about you?"
