SHE RAN INTO THE FIELD, SCANNING  the area for Will and when she saw him she ran right up to him, placing her hands on his shoulders as his eyelids fluttered open and then closed again. Mike and Lucas ran over and saw the two.

"Come on Will," she said and she turned to Lucas and Mike.

"One of you get the others, hes having an episode," Bea said and Lucas nodded, running off.

That's when the other three, and Joyce, ran over and Bea moved out of the way as Joyce shook Will, calling his name.

"Sweetie, wake up! Its mum!" She called out as she tried gently shaking him. The boys and Max stood helplessly watching as Joyce shook Will trying to wake him up, Bea standing on the other side of him.

She could hear the panic in Joyce's voice as she tried to wake Will up, tried with everything in her.

Suddenly he gasped, opening his eyes and looking at his mum. Joyce engulfed him in a hug before walking out of school with him, constantly asking if he was ok.

"Thanks Bea, for being there," Joyce said and Bea smiled.

"No problem, hope you're OK Will," she said and he smiled half-heartedly. The three other boys, Max and Bea stood on the steps of the school as Joyce and Will walked down, ignoring everyone else and just heading to their car, probably lost in some conversation.

"Ok that totally freaked me out. Did thay not freak you guys out?" Max asked as she held her skateboard in her arms.

The boys just watched him, ignoring Max's comment.

"Two episode in two days," Lucas said and Mike sighed.

"Its getting worse, you think its true sight?" Mike asked and Max stood confused.

'What is true sight?" She asked and Bea looked at her sympathetically, knowing that it must be hard not to understand anything.

"Nothing," Lucas said and they all watched as Joyce and Will drove off.

Max checked the time on her watch and swore under her breath when she noticed the time.

"I have to skate home, Billy left me," Max said as she got her skateboard out.

"Hey, I'll drive you home," Bea said and Max looked at her, smiling.

"Really?" She asked, as if Bea was joking with her and it was some kind of rude prank.

"I'm not going to kill you," Bea suggested and Max laughed.

"Ok, thanks a lot," she said and Bea turned and winked at Dustin who she knew had a crush on Max.

Max sat in the shotgun of Bea's car as they started to drive,

"So where do you live," Bea asked and Max crossed her arms.

Bea and Max laughed as they drove along the street.

Max gave Bea the directions to her house and the older girl recognised where she was going - well kind of. After a long and hilarious car drive, Bea pulled up at the house that Max marked as her.

"I'll come with you, don't want you getting molested," Bea suggested and the two girls laughed as Bea rung the doorbell.

Billy opened it, topless and with a cigarette in his mouth. He raised an eyebrow at Bea.

"You drove this little shit home?" He suggested and Bea scoffed.

"Yeah, I drove your sister home," she said, emphasises the words sister. Billy scoffed and looked down at her as a girl peeked her head out of his bedroom.

"Sorry, did I tread on your moment?" Bea asked sarcastically and Billy looked at her in annoyance.

"Get in here, and you," Billy said looking back at Bea, a smirk on his face.

"Here's my number, I always need company" Billy said

He forcefully grabbed Beas hand, pulling a pen out and scribbling his number onto her hand. When he let go Bea pulled her hand back, rubbing the piece where he wrote as it stung from the pressure he put on it. Bea shook it off, looking at Max.

"Hey Max, you ever need a ride home or just want to get away from this asshole, you have my number, call me up," Bea said to Max before looking up at Billy who just looked at Bea, waiting for an answer.

"And you, I'd rather die than become another one of your whores, see you at school tomorrow," Bea said before walking off, ignoring Billy as he called her name out.

She just hopped in her car, driving home and thinking about her conversation with Billy as 'Can't take my eyes off of you' played on the radio.

SHE WATCHED THE BASKETBALL
game again. Billy topless with the girls swooning over him left right and center.

Bea recognised one as the girl he took home last night and Bea scoffed to see her practically drooling over him. She subconsciously looked at the phone number on her hand.

"King Steve, King Steve, everyone,' he said, looking into the crowds and spotting Bea, winking at her.

"Jesus, do you ever stop talking?" Steve asked in frustration, sweat all down the back of his top and making his hair stick to the base of his neck.

Billy laughed at Steve who was so ready to just kill him.

"You afraid the coach will bench you now that I'm here huh?" He questioned, obviously trying to get into Steve's head. Billy rammed into Steve, knocking him to the floor as Billy shot the ball into the hoop.

Bea gasped, running down the steps and crouching next to Steve.

"Is that not a foul?" She questioned as she looked around. Billy walked over to Steve.

"You were moving your feet, plant them next time, draw a charge," Billy whispered to Steve.

Bea smiled to herself, maybe there was a good side to him after all. Deep down anyway.

"You ok," she asked, holding out her hand and he nodded, grabbing it and allowing her to help him up. She wiped her hands down her jeans and Steve laughed.

"Off the court Henderson," the coach said and Bea smiled at Steve before walking back over to her book, reopening Frankenstein and starting to read it again.

AFTER A TENSE DAY IN THE SHOWERS with Tommy and Billy, Steve found out that Nancy had skipped school that day with Jonathan.

Tommy walked off, leaving Steve and Billy alone.

"Don't take it too hard man, pretty boy like you has got nothing to worry about," Billy said, leaning up against the wall and smirking.

"Plenty of bitches in the sea," he said, turning the shower off. Billy pat Steve on the back before walking off.

"I'll make sure to leave you one, but Morticia, yeah I call dibs," Billy said as he walked off.

Steve's hands clenched into fists.

"Hey asshole," Steve called out and Billy turned back around, a huge smirk on his face as he looked at a riled up Steve. His face had gone red and his knuckles white as he looked at Billy.

"Lay one hand on her and I'll kill you, she's not one of your prey," Steve yelled and Billy smirked, knowing he got the reaction that he had wanted out of Steve.

"No can do pretty boy, you should know that the chase is my main game." Billy said before walking off, leaving Steve to slam his fist into the wall.

BEA WALKED OUT OF SCHOOL AND
looked around for Max, she wanted to ask her how last night and hadn't caught her yet. Bea's eyes landed on Billy's car which was near the school wall and she saw him grab Max's hand, an angry expression on his face.

She ran up to the passengers seat, looking in at Max.

"Get your hands off of her," Bea said as she saw Billy in the car, his hand wrapped around Max's wrist as she looked at him with pure fear in her eyes.

Billy let go in an almost sarcastic way.

Max looked like she was about to cry and Bea looked at Billy with the worst face she could possibly see.

"Come on Billy, be a man and pick on someone your own size," Bea said and Billy snarled, getting out of the car and walking up to her.

He stood over her, being his normal cocky self.

"Max, you ever need me call me and I'll pick you up," Bea called out, looking around Billy before looking up at him.

"You're an ass," she said and Billy chuckled to himself. He started to walk towards her which maneuvered Bea backwards.

Her back hit the wall behind them and Bea's heart raced as she wondered what he was going to do. Billy placed both hands either side of her head, smirking as he trapped her.

"I thought I told you to call me," he said and she smirked, knowing how to get out of this.

"I was going to," she said and Billy blinked a few times confused.

Bea walked her fingers up his chest and Billy looked at her confused for a second before a smirk appeared on his face.

He removed his hands from beside her head and Bea took this opportunity to walk away.

"Tease!" He yelled out, obviously not understand it was a trick.

Bea flipped him off before walking back to car. In that split second she forgot about Max and as she turned back to check on her she saw Billy's car disappear in a cloud of dust

When Bea got home she saw her mum scanning the room for their cat.

"Mew, mew, dinner where are you?" Her mum called out as she poured mews cat food into a bowl. Dustin walked in, rushing to his room. Bea knocked on his door and Dustin swore before opening it slightly and smiling at her nervously.

"What are you doing?" She asked and he looked at her nervous.

"Reading," he said and Bea didn't want to ask anymore so she just walked off, tired from the long day of harassment at school.
