"Ow" the both cried and laughed. Dominique went back down to pick up the bottle. David went to the kitchen area to retrieve some kitchen towel. They dried it up and chatted about other things till midnight.

"I'd...better go now" Dominique yawned. "Ok" He walked her to the door and they waved. "see you in the morning" "goodnight" dominique said "night" David closed the door, and leaned back on it as he smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was midnight and Nathan walked up and down in his dorm.

Nathans phone rang. He ignored it and continued to pace up and down. The answering machine kicked in. "This is Nathan, I'm not here so leave whatever message after the beep" it beeped "Nathan, pick up. I know your pacing up and down your dorm" Gemmas voice came through the speaker. "You bet I am" He shouted "You probably just shouted at the machine confirming what I just said" Nathan sat down "I want to talk about what happened today" she sighed "I don't" he mumbled "And I know you don't but you have to" "No I bloody well don't" He screamed at the machine "Your screaming at the machine again aren't you?" How did she know that? he thought "Your probably thinking how I knew that, well I can hear you" Gemma continued to talk about something but Nathan wasn't paying attention and walked over to the door and flung it open. "Stop using all my tape and come in" he said. She hung up her phone and walked in.

Dominique arrived home to a letter lying on her doorstep. The handwriting and postal stamp told her it was from her brother in America. She took the letter into the front room, her thoughts still on David. See you in the morning, he'd said. She'd never looked forward to morning so much in her life. She planned to go back to her lectures now she was feeling better, but many there would be a time between when she and David could meet up.. Sitting down she briefly scanned her brother's letter. It was much the same as any letter he'd sent, asking how she was, how Uni was going, telling her how he was, that he was planning maybe to move back to England next year. Putting it aside she started drafting a letter in response, but between almost every word she wrote her mind was drawn back to David.

"What do you want?" Nathan asked, feeling tired and exhausted. "Just want to know if you're alright" Gemma said "I got into a fist fight with my so called friend, I got screamed at by Alberts, who enjoys spitting on people's faces whilst shouting, ended up in a fight again, and then in the police station....sure, I'm feeling fantastic!" Gemma laughed. "Don't laugh, Gemma," Nathan said "The sooner we sort out Jon the better" "By the way, I went to the GP yesterday, and did some tests. Whatever drug Jon gave me is out of my body now, and it hasn't done much damage" "That's good" "It was a temporary thing, I'm ok now" "Well, what about what happened on that night?" "That I don't know, but I got a feeling he didn't do anything, just scared me a little" "Ok..." "And we got our revenge. He got beaten up twice and one of them was in Uni where everyone saw so he got completely humiliated." "So, what you're saying is, we should just leave it?" Nathan asked "I think so. I don't want this to drag on any further, and I want to move on and forget about it. Unless something happens which might be caused by Jon, I think we should just move on." NAthan paced around the room again. "Will you stop doing that?" Gemma said "You're making me feel sea sick" Nathan stopped. "Ok," he said "SO it's nearly sorted" "It is sorted. We'll tell the others in the morning. I need to go now" Gemma stood up. "I can walk you back" "It's ok, Sabien will give me a lift" "Sabien?" Nathan said "Where is he?" "Just outside, waiting. See ya" She left.

Morning came to soon for David. His alarm kept going off, he kept hitting the snooze button and kept thinking 'five more minutes'. His eyes opened slightly looking at the time. They shot open. He had ten minutes to get to Uni. He piled on what ever clothes were cleanist, picked up his bag and scrambled out of the door. He slammed the door shut, it locked if it closes and could only be opened from the inside unless you have a key, and bumped into Dominique. Her stuff went flying.

David bent down to pick the papers up. "I'm sorry" he kept saying. Dominique bent down too. "That's ok" she said, glad to see him. David piled the paper on her arms. "Late too huh?" "Yeah" David picked up a book titled "Advanced Latin" "I didn't know you're taking Latin..." he began "I'm not, well I am. I'm learning at home." David smiled. "I'll carry some stuff" THey went into David's car and they drove off to Uni.
At lunch break they met up with Nathan, Gemma and Sabien. "Where's Jenny?" David asked "Oh, forgot to mention, she got a call from home and left at once" Dominique said "I wonder what happened" David thought. Gemma told everyone what had she had told NAthan the night before, and they all nodded uncertainly.

"I think you should leave it," Dominique said, her eyes on her lunch. "You'll get into more trouble if you carry on like this." "She's right," Gemma put in. "But we have to make him realise--" Nathan began. "I think he's realised enough," Gemma said firmly. "Just drop it. I don't want you back in prison on my account, okay?" While they were talking, Dominique nudged David. She nodded to the left and they moved slightly to the side of the others. "I was just wondering," Dominique said, more to her hands than his face, "whether you wanted to...well, I was thinking...there's a new cinema opening just down the road from our flats, and I was thinking...wondering...if you wanted to visit it sometime." She hesitated, then added, "with me."

"Sure! Any idea err what movies are on? Wouldn't mind what kind it was" David replied excitedly "Well I don't really know" Dominique said while playing with her hair. "You free anytime this weekend?" David knew he wasn't but it was nothing he couldn't cancel. "Yeah sure Saturday ok with you?" He was giddy, he had planned to ask her to come to the cinema with him about the same time.

David headed for his next class and NAthan caught up with him. "What are you smiling at?" Nathan asked "Nothing much" "Ok." "Where's Gemma?" David asked, changing the subject as swiftly as he can. "Walked off" Nathan said "With SAbien" "They seem to spend a lot of time together after Gemma found out about the drink" "Don't mention it again." Nathan said.
Dominique walked towards her class and smiled as she thought about the weekend. Going to the cinema with David...she thought happily. THen Gemma came up from behind her and gave her a nudge. "What has made you so happy all of a sudden?" Gemma asked. "Oh, um...nothing" Dominique said, blushing slightly. Being more aware than Nathan, Gemma smiled. "It's David, isn't it?" she giggled "What?!" Dominique was surprised. "Don't pretend you haven't been spending a bit too much time with him" "I don't..." Dominique said quietly, already knowing that she couldn't get away with this. "You do! I've been watching." Gemma said proudly. "The other's might've not noticed but I have - you and David..." "Time for class" Dominque said, cutting her off and entering the nearest room, which wasn't where her lecture was. "She doesn't take Law..." Gemma muttered, watching Dominique sit down by a table. She shrugged and left.

As soon as Gemma had rounded the corner, Dominique darted out of the classroom and headed to her own, still grinning uncontrollably.
Gemma made her way to her own class. The lecturer hadn't turned up yet, but this was nothing new, so Gemma sat down, put her bag on the table and waited for someone she knew to arrive. Next thing she knew, her desk was surrounded by boys she didn't recognise. One shoved her bag aside and squared right up to her. "You Gemma Green?" Gemma blinked. "Yes." The boy narrowed his eyes. "You're the one who got Jon arrested?" Gemma sat up. "Arrested?" The boy sniggered. "Look, acting all innocent," he said to his friends. "As though she don't know nothin'." "What? Why has Jon been arrested?" Gemma asked, confused. "Don't act all dumb with me," the boy snapped. "You know. You told the police that he raped you!" Gemma stared at him, utterly shocked. "I did nothing of the sort!" Before the boy could retort their teacher arrived. "Boys! What's going on?"

David sat in his desk drawing stickmen killling each other in bloody battles and completely ignoring what Professer Alberts was saying about the Egyptians.
He stared out of the window and suddenly paniced. He didn't know what to do or say to Dominique if he saw her. Slowly he realised that he did know and maybe that Dominique was just asking him to come because no one else could. David was completely unaware of Dominques mutual feelings for him.
"Mr. Pariah!" He snapped out of the daydream when Alberts shouted his name, he looked up "Tell me one thing the Eygptians have done for us!" He paniked and tried to think of something "They er..."He closed his eyes and thought hard "They created a white paste that gives them fresh breath and clean white teeth for upto 24 hours" He hoped and soon realised the rest of the lecture room burst out laughing. He looked embarressed and sank in his chair. "No Mr. Pariah do pay attention and stop quoting whats from a tube of toothpaste!" He returned to his teaching and David thought to himself, I've got to stop doing my homework in the bathroom...I really need to clean my desk.

Gemma was in no hurry to leave her sport and excercise science lecture; she knew the boys would be waiting for her outside. Most of them were from the rich group who were in the uni rowing team with Jon she knew and they would be waiting outside to teach her a lesson for putting their bowman in trouble. she shivered in fear, trying to invent a reason to stay a little longer in the lecture hall as she decended the steps towards the lecturers desk. perhaps Sabien or Nathan would come looking for her if she was late and get rid of the rowers, or perhaps they'd get bored waiting

Gemma sat in her seat and flicked through her notes, glancing outside every now and then. The Professor got up, ready to leave. "Wait!" Gemma called. Professor Gordon looked up. "Gemma, why are you still here?" she asked "um..." Gemma looked outside but she couldn't see any of the boys. "Nothing" She left the room, and looked up and down the corridor - the boys weren't in sight. She desperately needed her friends right now, and went to look for them. 2 minutes later someone grabbed her shoulder firmly. THe rest of the gang surrounded her. "You can't hide from us, you know?" one of the boys sneered. "What do you want?" Gemma asked nervously "You," one of them said "get Jon free and maybe we will decide not to slit your face" THey laughed. "I don't know where he is" Gemma gulped. "Just go to the police station" The boy who had grabbed her shoulder pushed her away roughly and they left.

Sighing she listened to her messages "Gemma Green, Miss Green this is Marcael Lewis calling from WETA saying we called round this morning but you weren't in, give us a call when you get home, the number is 0132..." Gemma pressed skip on her ansaphone; she wasn't in the mood "Gemma it's Anthony from student support..." skip, "Gemma, you're not home, i was thinking about doing extra training for the..." skip. finally she got to a message she wanted to hear, somthing to take her mind off it "Gem, it's 'Nique, look ok i do like David, i really need your help, i'm going to the cinema saturday and.."

Dominique put down the phone. "Ok" she said to herself "Next time you mention guys and dates, get desperate help from someone else" Then she remembered Jenny. "I wonder what she's up to right now" SHe decided to call her later.
On Friday Gemma came to get Dominique at 8am. "Come on you" Gemma said "There's no time to waste" She dragged Dominique to the shopping centre and started flicking through the racks. Dominique looked at the price tags. "Who'd pay £55 for one dress?" Dominique muttered. "I would" Gemma replied. "THat's gorgeous! YOu don't have a bad taste after all!" "I only picked it up because it was the most expensive one on this rack..." "Go and try it on!" Gemma pushed her into the changing rooms. "We're not buying it!" Dominique said. "We are if it looks great!" Dominique sighed and got dressed. It was a soft pink dress which came down just past her knees, and had two thin straps holding it up. "Gemma....isn't this slightly too formal for the cinema?" she asked "and I deteste pink" "Ok, then time for something else." Gemma flciked through the racks, unaware of the gang of Jon supporters eyeing her from outside

Nathan just happened to walk by that same group and over hear them. "We gonna slash her face unless she gets Jon out" one said angryly. "Gemma such a bitch" said another Nathan was fuming and stomped into the Sports shop. He found a metal baseball bat, payed for it even when it was expensive, then walked out and watched the group to see what they would do.

He tapped one of them on the shoulder. "Got a problem with Gemma?" he asked, swinging his bat. THe boys saw it, then shifted away, muttering curses. Nathan looked at his bat. "Great," he thought "WHat am I gonna do with this?" He went back to the shop, returned it, and smiled to the shop assistant. "Always great to have a sports shop nearby" Nathan winked.
Gemma had finally picked an outfit which fits and one which Dominique didn't moan about. THey decided to go for a casual yellow and orange dress for a summery look, skinny jeans, and gold stilettos. Dominique wobbled towards Gemma. "I like the dress and jeans, but I'm not sure about the shoes..." "They'll be fine. If you collapse, just grab his arm. Now, time for hair, a bag, and accessories. I'll do your make-up tomorrow. " They left the shop, not bumping into Nathan.

two hours later the two girls emerged from the hairdressers. Dominique looking totally different with her newly styled hair. they began the short walk along the main street to catch the bus back to Gemmas. “Wait a second; I’ve got to pop into the dance shop in Seaborne Alley to see if my costume for the Europeans is done yet” Gemma veered off to the right across the road towards a small side street with a few cafés on it that opened out onto the square surrounded by shops that made up the alley. She slipped into a little dance shop on the corner “Isn’t it pretty” Gemma held up the leotard “very” said Dominique “do you mind if I just try it on” Gemma was giving Dominique a mild dose of puppy dog eyes, she really wanted to try it on and wasn’t going to be stopped “yeah sure” said Dominique. Gemma ducked into the changing room to try on the costume emerging again ten minutes later smiling broadly and carrying the leotard on its hangar which she handed to the shop assistant at the till “I’ll be back in a week to pick it up” The lady nodded "see you then miss Green" Gemma picked up speed a little to catch up with Dominique at the door Gemma shut the door behind her with a clang of bells and turned to speak to Dominique who was gazing wide eyed and fearful at the large group of men sitting on the fountain looking straight at them “Hey look guys it’s Gemma and her friend” drawled one of the biggest guys of the mob....
