"You always say how we have to never give in to our wolf-self." "This is proof, Tom." "Proof that there's something weird up there on the moors." "Why are you so interested in it, then?" "Got you!" "Seriously, Shannon, we always just thought you were a bit mental." "They believed me, Tom!" "No one's ever believed me before!" "This is the closest that I've ever been, Maddy." "Rhydian!" " You're like me." " Er..." "I haven't started transforming yet." "So I know more about this stuff than you do?" "If you weren't wolfing out, in the woods" "Shannon wouldn't have got a picture on the first place." " It wasn't me." " Then who was it?" "This is serious." "He could expose us all." "Er, 5 times 76." "Stop it, Dad." "380!" " Are you feeling confident?" " No!" "Hate maths." "No you don't!" "She'll walk these exams." "Right, come on..." "What's wrong?" "I don't know." "I just can't seem to focus on anything." "My head hurts, my hands are throbbing, my feet too, and..." "Right in the gums?" "Right, that's it, you're not going to school tomorrow." " What?" " I'll email Mr Jeffries." "I'll say you're ill." "Look, you're on the brink of transforming." "How are you going to cope with a week of exams?" "No way!" "I've worked far too hard for this!" "I'll be fine." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Dan, the cloth." "Oh..." "Maybe you WOULD be safer at school." "You're not going anywhere without this." "It's the last bottle in the house, so DON'T lose it." " I'll make you another one up tonight." " What is it?" "It's rescue remedy." "It'll keep you calm." " Urgh, it smells rank." " Listen, it works, Maddy." "You have to watch yourself for a while." "Just pop a few drops under your tongue whenever you feel stressed, OK?" "Hey, Mads, what happened?" " What?" "I'm fine." " Last night." "You never showed up." "English revision?" " Oh!" "Right, look I'm sorry." "Things just got a bit hectic." "The English paper isn't till tomorrow." "We could revise in the lunch hour if you like." "Thanks, Mads, you're the best." "Oh, what?" "Urgh!" "What IS that?" " It's nothing." " Smells vile." "You want a tissue?" "Honestly, Shan, it's fine." "You all set for the maths test, then?" " Okinawe." " Sir." "How am I supposed to chill out when I've got a week of exams," "Tom on my back and my whole body feels like it's about to explode?" " MADDY!" " WHAT?" "!" "Yes, sir." "Sorry, sir." "Waterman." "I'm here, sir." "Hot flushes?" "Shooting pains?" "Mouth like a Swiss army knife?" " Oh, my...." " Shut up!" "This should be fun." " OW!" " Keep it down please, Rhydian." "Right, you lot, as you know, this week's exams will start with maths, immediately after the dinner bell." "Tomorrow, we will be having English after first break." "Here's hoping those past participles will trip off your pens." " You worry too much, Thomas." " Oh, do I?" "Uh-huh." "There's really no need." " And we'll be winding up the week with General Science." " I have a plan." "Cheer up, Liam, it's not the end of the world." "Try revising this week instead of playing football." "That IS the end of the world, sir." "Right, everyone, before we get started..." "Six more days and seven hours of this." "I don't think I can stand it!" "Do you want to know what helps?" " Yeah." "Tell us." "I'll do anything." "What are we doing?" "You know the best way to get through the pre-transformation blues?" "Move!" "Hey!" "You've seen Maddy?" "She took off with Leek Boy, last I saw." "What, Rhydian?" " What's the big deal?" " Nothing." "You sure?" "Rhydian?" "I get it." "You want help from your little girlfriend" " for the English test." " Whatever, Jimi." "You know, I think revision is well overrated." "Yeah?" "Well, YOU don't have dyslexia." "Maybe YOU, Thomas, just need to think OUTSIDE the box." "Let's talk." "Hey, Shan." "Kara, what are you, like, doing?" "Do you mind if I sit down?" "No." "This can't be happening." "Um." "Actually, Kara, I'm trying to do a bit of revision..." "Yeah, I know." "I was thinking..." "we could work together." "Better?" "Better." "I know I've got a mum and dad and stuff, which is more than you've got, but..." " Sorry." " It's fine." "What I meant was, it's just really good having someone my age to," " like, share this stuff with." " Yeah." "That goes for me as well." "Because I've always hated it, keeping it a secret from my friends." "Everyone has secrets." "I'll bet Tom and Shannon don't share everything with you." "They won't have secrets like mine." "Sometimes I wonder, is it possible to stay friends with them?" "I mean, how well do they really know us?" "Oh, no..." " Tom!" " What?" "You're supposed to calm down." "No, I was supposed to revise with him!" "We've got a maths exam in ten minutes!" "Oh, yeah..." "I'll catch you up." "You want to tell us what all THAT was about?" "No big deal." "You sat at the same table!" "I mean, come on, Kaz, Shannon Kelly?" "So what?" "You two are my BFFs." "That just goes without saying." "But the thing is," "I NEED Shannon Kelly." "Why?" "Cos I think..." "Come on, Kaz." "You can tell us anything." "I think..." "I might be... good at science." "Come on!" "Aren't you fed up with being labelled total air-brains?" "I've known for ages now... in science, I just, like, get it." "Even before the Nerd Brigade sometimes." "But I never, ever, put my hand up." "Why shouldn't I put my hand up?" "Out." "There are certain things we just don't do, Kara." "If you're so smart, you should be able to figure it out for yourself." "Sometimes in life, Thomas, you have to help yourself." "Right." "Nobody's going to do it for you." "It's all about self-reliance." " Innit?" " Exactly!" "I just hate having to ask for help, man." "Exams suck." "I know where Jeffries keeps the test papers." " How?" " He called me in yesterday after Seth Petherick dobbed me in for a dead leg." "Well, I saw him." "I saw him pop the test papers in his bottom drawer." "And...what?" "you still got that high-res camera in your dark room?" "Wouldn't take two minutes." "Nip in, I'll watch the door." "Email the piccies to our phones and..." "Tom!" "I'm really sorry, Tom, I only just remembered." "Yeah." "It doesn't matter." "No, no, it does." "I'll come rounds yours tonight, OK?" "I don't want your help!" "It's fine, yeah?" "Tom!" "Well, fine!" "Maddy!" "I do believe you have a maths exam." "Nice of you to show your face, Rhydian(!" ")" "Now, settle down, everyone." "You have exactly one hour, starting... ..now." "You may open your papers." "Walk!" "Don't panic!" "Stay calm everybody, please." "Maddy, it's over." "OK?" "Keep calm." "Deep breaths, yeah?" "Rhydian Morris, you are in big trouble, young man." "What did you go and do THAT for?" " Shan..." " You are mental, Rhydian Morris!" "Just because you want to waste your own time, doesn't mean you get to waste everyone else's!" "Right, your attention, please!" "Go to our form room, use this time to revise." "YOU are coming with me to see the head teacher." "Yes, sir." "Later, Maddy." " Why don't you just back off?" "!" " What?" "Jumping to daft conclusions." "Who are YOU to talk?" "You've been treating Tom like dirt!" "How many more times are you going to let him down?" "Look, I know he's sensitive." "I've just got a little bit more to deal with than babysitting Tom today, OK?" "!" "Well, you know where to find us when you feel like rejoining the human race." "This is perfect." "Now you can sneak into Jeffries' office whilst he's taking Leek Boy to the headmaster." "Tom..." "The English paper." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Why not?" "He's mad, that boy." "I wonder what got into him this time." "He's not mad, he's just a rebel, he can't help it." "Oh, you think so, do you?" "Well, you must be right, being so clever and all(!" ")" "Look, you don't know what you're talking about, any of you, so why don't you just leave it?" "!" "Did..." "Did someone speak?" "Oh, my bad, I must be hearing things!" "You don't HAVE to hang out with us, you know." "Hang out with your smarter friends if you think you're better than us." "Hey, Shannon, what you doing after school?" "Now why would you want to know THAT, Kara?" "I thought maybe we could revise together." "Is that OK?" "You know what?" "It IS OK." "I thought I'd head over to the science lab." "Great!" "Go, go, go!" "Remember, bottom drawer!" "I'm sorry, sir." "I just..." "I panicked." "All those numbers just started... ..swirling." " Swirling?" " Yes!" "... sir." "Swirling." "Hmm." "Perhaps the head teacher doesn't need to be involved at this point." "No, sir?" "No." "I really ought to discuss it with your foster parents." "Need to fill in one of these." "Here we are." "OK." "Right, ask them to sign this and we'll see about getting you assessed." "Yes, sir." "Do you think... you could show me where they should sign?" "It's...really confusing." "Oh." "Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely." "I could even mark it for them." "This doesn't mean you're off the hook, though." "I'm putting you in detention for setting that alarm off." "Yes, sir." "Not a lot slips past me in this school, Rhydian..." "Now do yourself a favour and concentrate on your education." "Will do, sir." " What happened to YOU?" " He came out of nowhere!" "No point in both of us going down." "Did you do it?" "Mr Jeffries..." "Could I just have a quick word?" "Wait there, Mr Morris." "I'd like you up at the front where I can see you, Rhydian." "Kay, Kara, Katrina, you'll join Rhydian in detention this afternoon." "But why, sir?" "Bullying a younger pupil should cover it." "Would you like me to go into detail?" "What is it, Kara?" "Sir," "I was hoping to revise in the science block after school actually." "I see." "It's true, sir." "Shannon said she'd help me." "Is this true, Shannon?" "Um..." "Yes." "Actually, I did." "Oh, right." "Well, then." "That's very admirable, on both your parts." "You can attend detention tomorrow, then, Kara." "All right?" "Look, um..." "Thanks for that, yeah?" "No problem." "Aren't you going to ask what I was doing?" "No." "None of my business." "I've got nothing against secrets." "Useful things." "Cool." " I'll see you later then, yeah?" " Yeah." " How bad?" " Oh, a lecture." "Nothing inhumane." " I'm so sorry about that." " No worries." "How you doing now?" "I'm good." "I could do with blowing off some steam, though." "I've got detention, haven't I?" "Look, take it easy, yeah?" "On your mates, too." "After all, they're only human." "They forgot to lock up the chemicals cos of the fire alarm." "Look." "Uh-huh." "Kara?" "C'mon." "Let's do some real science." "I still don't get why you couldn't have warned me!" "It's not a big deal." "You made it out in one piece, you got the photos." "Relaxez-vous, Thomas." "Just hand over the camera and I'll download it at home." "No way!" "You're just going to have to let me get on with it." " What's HE doing in here?" " I let him in." "You got a problem?" "Yeah, I've got a problem - he's not a member of the club." "And you've never let anyone in who's not a member before" "That's not the point!" "I think you two ladies need some alone time." "Don't let me down." "Get me that download." "OK, what's going on?" " It's none of your business, so drop it, yeah?" " Tom!" "No, Mads." "Do I ask you about everything you get up to?" " Um, pretty much, yeah." " But you don't TELL me, do you?" "!" "You've been acting weirdly since Rhydian came and you know it!" "What are you talking about?" "I'm not stupid!" "And neither is Shannon." "Fine!" "I'll leave you to it, whatever "it" is." "Great." "See you around." "So Kara told Saskia she's a size zero." " Not with THOSE calves!" " Give it a rest, Katrina." "You're late!" "BOTH:" "Hi, Rhydian." "I could have sworn there were three of you this morning." "So, if you mix in the bromide..." "Do you have any idea what'll happen if we get caught?" "Relax, will you?" "I'll do it, then." " Shan?" " Oh!" "I was...wondering if you wanted to get hot chocolate at Bernie's after you're done?" "Voila..." "Chemical reaction!" "Or you could just..." "do science with Kara?" " Cool, huh?" " This is unreal." "Sorry." "What, Mads?" "Can we do that again, but with like an accelerant?" "We shouldn't even be doing this." "Just be careful!" "What's wrong with everyone today?" "What?" "You're the one out of whack, Maddy!" "Ignore her." "Best way." "Look, I don't know what you think your new FRIEND is after, but once she's got it, she won't want to know you any more." "Jea-lous." "Yeah, I am aware of that, Maddy, thanks." "What?" "And if you cared about Tom so much, you'd be helping him, not one of them, so don't have a go at me about it." "I really don't like this." "Can you please just put the chemicals down now?" "You have been a cow all day, to Tom, to me and anyone dumb enough to care about you!" "You've got no idea about my day." "None!" "I'm out of here!" "See ya." "Aren't you going to help clear up?" "Ladies and gentlemen, you are free to go" "Rhydian." "So who do you think's the prettiest?" "You can be honest with us." "We don't mind, do we, Kay?" "You don't really want me to answer that, do you?" "Yeah." "Course I do." "Kara..." "Finished your revision?" "I'm going to ace that science exam, Rhydian Morris, and I don't care what anyone has to say about it." "Brains AND beauty." "Hey, Shannon, I don't want to leave it like this..." "Shan!" "We have to help her!" "You go and get help!" "Hurry." "Hurry!" "Is this you?" "Twice in one day!" "No, there really is a fire, in the lab." " Maddy and Shannon..." " Get Jeffries!" "Tom, thank goodness!" "Get them out of here!" "Now!" "You saved them." "Shannon..." "Are you all right?" "I saw..." "I thought I..." "I thought..." "It's over, yeah?" "It's finished now." "You're safe now, Shannon, you're safe." "I don't know who Maddy is any more." " What do you mean?" " I told you what happened." "You banged your head, Shan, you were sucking up all them fumes." "I KNOW what I saw." " Is it Maddy?" " No, it's Jimi." "Hey." "Wait up!" "I really don't need this, OK?" "You don't have to hang with me, but do me a favour and lay off the attitude." "What I do with my life is my business, end of." " Of course it is." " End of." "Me and Katrina were thinking, maybe we could all study together tonight." "Kara..." "You were seen leaving the science block just before the blaze began last night." "I think a little chat in my office at first break might be in order, yes?" "You owe me an email." "Just because you're a school hero, don't think I won't tell them exactly what you did." "Tell 'em what you like." "Well, I'll hardly need to when you actually do well in an English exam, for once in your live." "Well, I deleted the photos, so I won't do well, but I'll do my best yeah?" " Hey." " Hey, Mads." "Tom, I just want to say..." "I know." "Don't worry about it." "What's THAT?" "Smells disgusting." "Something to get us through the day." " Not a werewolf potion, then?" " Sorry?" "Shannon's new theory." "Get this - apparently, you're a werewolf." "Why would she think that?" "She supposedly saw you "turn" in the fire." "We have two competing theories." "One, they're dating, two, she's..." "The castle is haunted!" "From now on, we stick to them like glue." "On the bus, at school, after school." "Rhydian!" "Go get help!" " Rhydian's hurt!" " I'll be fine." "Get off the island while you can before the moon rises." "I can't leave you here." "We've taken the decision we're going to stay here overnight." "It was the ghost dog!"
