Episode 96

The next morning (Tuesday), Alison is about to leave for TAFE when she opens the door to find Jenny standing there.

Jenny: I didn't even have to knock that time.

Alison: *slightly annoyed* Jenny, what do you want?

Jenny: I want to talk to you about Adelaide.

Alison: Can it wait until this afternoon? I have to go to TAFE now.

Jenny: No, it can't wait!

Alison: I got to hurry or I'll be late.

Jenny: Too bad. You're going to hear me out even if it takes all day. *looks determined*

Alison: Oh, all right. I supposed I have to hear about it sooner or later. Sit down.

*Jenny and Alison sit on the couch*

Alison: I'm listening.

Jenny: This move to Adelaide wasn't to abandon you or any of our family. When Brock took me there to meet his family, I fell in love with the town. We talked about it and decided to move to Adelaide within the next fortnight. We didn't plan it to upset you.

Alison: Am I still going to see my new cousin?

Jenny: Of course. We would NEVER stop you from seeing him or her. I love you too much for that Alison.

Alison: I'm sorry for avoiding you.

Jenny: Perfectly understandable. You've been through a lot lately.

Alison: I know.

*Jenny and Alison hug*

Alison: Well, I better head off to TAFE now.

Jenny: You have a great day.

Alison: I will. Thanks again for the talk. *shows Jenny out before leaving for the bus stop*

(At Civic High, Alexis turns up to roll call in a drunken state.)

Alexis: *drunkenly* Hellooooooo everyoneeeee!

*Sumara looks shocked*
Sumara: Bestie!

Alexis: Oh hey Sumara. Lovelyyyyy weather isn't it? *puts her arm around Sumara*

Sumara: *to Madison* I may need some help. She's off her face!

*Madison and Sumara escort Alexis out of the classroom*

Madison: Been drinking again?

Alexis: *drunkenly* Just a teensy-weeny bit. *gestures to Madison and Sumara before laughing*

Sumara: *yelling* DO YOU REALISE HOW DISRESPECTFUL YOU ARE BEING?!?

Madison: Sumara!

Sumara: No, Maddie. I'm sick of her making a bloody fool of herself!

Madison: Should we call her Mum?

Sumara: Tell one of the teachers.

Alexis: *slurring* All I wanted was a good time Mum! Is that too much to bloody ask?!?

*Sumara looks helpless as her best friend continues to slur and carry on*

Madison: She turned up to roll call drunk, Miss Mak.

Miss Mak: Right. I need help taking her to the sick bay.

Alexis: I think I'm going to be sick.

Sumara: Oh s***!

*Alexis throws up*

Miss Mak: Help me take her to the sick bay.

Sumara: All right. Come on Alexis. *to Madison* Please don't tell Riggot about this. He'll have a go at her.

Madison: I won't.

*Miss Mak and Sumara take Alexis to the sick bay*

Later that day, Donna is still being given a hard time by Natalie and her mates.

Natalie: Oh look. Derelict Donna has no friends!

Ella: I know. What a loner!

Donna: Leave me alone you bunch of slags!

Natalie: Not very friendly!

Carmen: Just leave her alone girls!

Natalie: Are you shaping up to me, Lopez?

Carmen: Yes! I'm sick to death of you and Ella bullying everyone! No one likes a bully and they never will! So, I suggest you stop before you lose friends!

Ella: Someone's gotten tough.

Carmen: No, it's someone that has some sense! Now clear off!

*Natalie and Ella storm off without a word*

Donna: Thanks Carmen.

Carmen: Anytime sis. Besides, I preferred you over those bitches anyway.

Donna: Really?

Carmen: Of course. *smiles*
Donna: Thanks. *smiles back*

Carmen: Hey. What are friends for?

Donna: Being there for each other. *puts her arm around Carmen*

(Over in the playground, Mareta is talking to some of her friends when Joy Clark, a Year 12 student, approaches her)

Joy: Hey Reta.

Mareta: Hey Joy.

Joy: I heard you lost your compact mirror.

Mareta: Yes, I did. Why do you ask?

Joy: Is this it? *shows Mareta the gold compact mirror which is all smashed up*

Mareta: Oh no! Where did you find it?

Joy: In the girls locker room. I was changing into my P.E uniform when I found it. I'm really sorry.

Mareta: This was my mother's compact mirror. I never intended to lose it.

Joy: I'm really sorry about this. *leaves*

*Mareta holds the mirror with an upset expression on her face*

Episode 97

When Mareta gets home from school that afternoon, she is crying.

Mrs Varu: Is that you Mareta?

Mareta: Yes? *shows her mother the broken compact mirror*

Mrs Varu: What happened to my mirror?

Mareta: Someone stolen it and smashed it all up. *sobs*

Mrs Varu: Really? Do you know who?

*Mareta shakes her head*

Mareta: Are you angry at me?

Mrs Varu: Why would I be angry at you?

Mareta: Because this was your favourite mirror.

Mrs Varu: Sweetie, it's just a mirror. I've got another one of those.

Mareta: I'm sorry.

Mrs Varu: Don't be sorry sweetie. Come here.

*Mareta and Mrs Varu hug*

(At Harley's, Natalie and Ella are talking about the mirror.)

Natalie: That was so priceless. You should've seen the look on Mareta's face when she came into Science.

Ella: It's a shame I missed it.

Natalie: I've decided to use this to my own advantage.

Ella: Really? Do tell!

Natalie: I've decided that the only way to make sure that Donna Maynard has no friends is to blame HER for breaking the mirror.

Ella: How are you going to do that?

Natalie: I bought a wig that matches her exact hair colour.

Ella: That will never work.

Natalie: And why not?

Ella: Because everyone will know it's you.

Natalie: I know. I'll forge her writing.

Ella: Now, that's better!

*Natalie smirks*

Natalie/Ella: Goodbye Donna.

At TAFE the next day (Wednesday), Lolly is giving back the classes half-yearly exam results.

Lolly: I just want to congratulate everyone on completing their half-yearly exams.

*Everyone claps*

Alison: *looking at her marks* 89 in English, 78 in Maths, 82 in Science, 81 for History, 87 for Geography and 73 for PDHPE.

Vicki: Those are pretty good marks.

Alison: Thanks Vicki. How did you do?

Vicki: I mostly got 70's. *to Sylvia and Melissa* How did you girls do?

Melissa: Passed every one.

Sylvia: My lowest mark was 68 and that was for Science. I was never a science whiz.

Alison: The important thing is that you did your best.

Sylvia: Thanks Ali.

Kat: Passed all my exams.

Amy: Got 93 in Maths.

Melissa: Well done Amy.

Amy: Thanks Mel.

Alison: All of us passed. We should celebrate.

*Rachael enters the classroom*

Lolly: Ah, Rachael. Here are your half-yearly results.

Rachael: Thanks Lolly. *looks at her exam results* Awesome! I passed every exam!

Alison: Let's celebrate!

Rachael: How about Friday night? We have dinner at Ocean Master.

Vicki: Not that good with seafood.

Melissa: How about Rashay's?

Alison: Let's vote on it.

*The girls raise their hands*

Alison: Rashay's it is. *smiles*

Girls: Awesome!

(At Civic High, Natalie has just finished forging a confession letter in Donna's name.)

Natalie: Perfect. That bitch is going to be sorry she ever double-crossed me. *plants the letter in Mareta's bag before walking off*

Episode 98

In their Maths class that afternoon, Leon and Hayley are talking about what they have planned for the upcoming weekend.

Leon: So babe, what have you got planned for this weekend?

Hayley: I got netball on Saturday morning.

Leon: I've got rugby the same morning. But what else can we do?

Hayley: Well, we could have a double date with Lexi and Riggz on Saturday night. How does that sound?

Leon: I don't know. I know Riggz is one my close mates, but it would feel awkward.

Hayley: Why? They're our friends.

Leon: It's just that we're used to dating on our own. It's a new thing for me.

Hayley: I see. Well, I don't want to force anything...

Leon: Where can we go?

Hayley: How about Harley's?

Leon: Sounds good.

Hayley: We'll meet up at seven.

Leon: Sure thing girl.

*Leon and Hayley kiss*

(Meanwhile, Donna is in her Visual Arts class painting her artwork when Mareta storms in.)

Donna: Bestie! What brings you to VA?
Mareta: I got your letter!

Donna: What letter?

Mareta: Oh, don't give me that! You know damn well what letter!

Donna: *looks confused* I really don't know what you're talking about.

*Mareta shows the letter that Natalie planted in her bag*

Mareta: DOES THIS RING ANY BELLS?!?

*Donna takes the letter and reads it*

Donna: *shocked* I didn't write this. I swear on it.

Mareta: Donna Maynard, you are so full of it! Not only did you write that letter confessing what you did, you have the nerve to stand here and lie to me about! Some best friend!

Donna: I would NEVER break anything that belongs to you!

Mareta: STOP LYING TO ME!!!

Donna: I'm not lying! I never wrote that letter! It was forged!

*Mareta slaps Donna very hard across the face*

Mareta: I hate you! I'm never going to speak to you again! *leaves the classroom, crying*

*Donna starts crying herself*

Donna: I would never do that.

Ella: You're pathetic, Derelict Donna! Absolutely pathetic!

*The whole class glare at Donna, who runs out of the room*

Girl: I can't believe she did that to her own best friend! What a bitch!

Ella: Never trusted her!

Boy: She's such an attention seeker!

Mrs Bateman: ALL RIGHT CLASS! THAT IS ENOUGH!!!

*The class falls silent except for Ella and the girl she's sitting with, who are laughing their heads off*

With TAFE over for the day, Alison is now on the bus heading home. Five stops before her one, a male bus passenger is approached by a junkie woman.

Junkie woman: Oi mate! You got a lighter on ya?

Man: No, I don't.

Junkie woman: I just want a bloody lighter for so I can have a smoke! Give it to me!

Man: Go bother someone else!

*The junkie woman goes to punch him, but Alison grabs her wrist!*

Alison: DON'T you even think about laying a hand on him!

Junkie woman: Why don't ya mind ya own business, ya putrid mess?!?

Alison: We don't need people like you making a mockery of our society. We're in 1989, not 1979!

Junkie woman: Whatever! I'm gettin' off! *gets off the bus*

Man: Thanks.

Alison: You're welcome sir.

*As the bus drives off, the junkie woman flips Alison off.*

Alison: Charming piece of work that one.

Man: Tell me about it. The drug problem is just getting worse by the minute.

Alison: They need help professionally.

Man: They sure do love. *laughs*
*Alison presses the button for her stop*

Man: See ya.

Alison: Bye. *waits until the bus stops*

V/O: Doors opening, stand clear please.

*Alison gets off the bus and heads to her house*

(At Vicki's house, she is trying to find Cameron.)

Vicki: Where's Cameron?

Tevita: Huh?

Vicki: I said where's Cameron? He should've been home with you by now.

Tevita: *realising* Oh s**t! I forgot to pick him up!

Vicki: *sarcastically* Oh did you? More like DELIBERATELY forget!!!

Tevita: Don't start on me, Vicki!

Vicki: I'll go pick him up!

Tevita: No, I'll go!

Vicki: Why bother Tevita? You'll just screw up like you always do!

Tevita: Now, that's out of line Vicki Adams!

Vicki: Is it? Well, I'm just stating a fact. *walks out and closes the front door*

Episode 99

On Thursday morning, Lowana decides to cook breakfast for Leon as their parents have left early for work.

*Leon enters the kitchen*

Leon: Morning sis.

Lowana: Good morning. *smiles*

Leon: Cooking breakfast?

Lowana: *sarcastically* No, I'm cooking dinner! Of course, I'm making breakfast.

Leon: What are we having for breakfast?

Lowana: Poached eggs with bacon and blueberry pancakes.

Leon: I'm hungry already. *laughs*

*Lowana laughs back*

Leon: Oh, Hayley should be on her way. We're walking to school together.

Lowana: She can stay for breakfast too. I wanted to talk to her anyway.

Leon: What about?

Lowana: I'd tell you, but I'd have to kill you. *laughs*

Leon: Very funny sis.

Hayley: *entering the house* Leon?

Leon: In the kitchen.

*Hayley enters the kitchen*

Hayley: Oh, I didn't realise you lot were having breakfast.

Lowana: Come have some.

Hayley: You don't mind?

Lowana: Of course not. Help yourself.

*As they eat breakfast, Lowana decides to talk to Hayley.*

Lowana: Leon, why don't you find your shoes?
Leon: What?

*Lowana gives him a knowing look*

Leon: *catching on* Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me sis. *heads off*

Lowana: So, how's school going?

Hayley: Don't ask. I feel so bad for poor Donna.

Lowana: Donna Maynard?

Hayley: Nearly everyone in her grade is treating her like crap!

Lowana: Hope Leon isn't!

Hayley: Of course not. I wouldn't be surprised if Natalie Evans is behind it.

Lowana: Oh that bitch! I don't know WHY I got involved with her?!?

Hayley: She was playing with your emotions towards me.

Lowana: You doing anything on the weekend?

Hayley: Well, Leon and I are supposed to have a double date with Riggot and Alexis on Saturday night.

Lowana: Did you want to go shopping with me?

Hayley: I would like that. *smiles*

Lowana: Come here babe.

*Hayley and Lowana hug*

At TAFE, Alison and her friends are waiting for Lolly to arrive.

Alison: Amy and I stayed up until 1:30 this morning finishing that assignment.

Kat: When's it due?

Amy: Monday.

Melissa: I've been so busy helping Dina with her baby that I haven't even started it.

Rachael: I'm sorry, but Nina should help her too.

Melissa: She's got a salon to run.

Rachael: Well, still she should pitch in.

Sylvia: I can't wait until our HSC exams.

Alison: We've still got another two months to go before we worry about that.

Kat: If Vicki and Tevita start arguing today, I'm seriously going to lose it.

Amy: They haven't been getting along lately, haven't they?

Alison: I'm just over it. If they start with their nonsense, I'm getting involved and I don't care if I lose my friendship with both of them. I'm sure you guys are fed up with it too.

Melissa: Yeah, we are.

*Sure enough, Vicki and Tevita are already arguing the minute they arrive at TAFE.*

Vicki: You could've at least told me that you ran out of fuel!

Tevita: I didn't realise until this morning!

Vicki: Then CHECK the fuel gage!

*Sylvia rolls her eyes at Rachael and Alison*

Rachael: I know.

Vicki: Hi ladies. I'm heading inside. *waves at Alison and her friends before heading inside the classroom*

Amy: *sarcastically* This'll be a great day.

Melissa: Amy. *to Tevita* What's today's argument about?

Tevita: I forgot to get petrol last night and didn't realise until this morning.

Kat: Well, it's hardly your fault.

Tevita: I know.
*Lolly arrives*

Lolly: Hello everyone. You can come in now.

*Alison and the others head into the classroom*

At Civic High, Alexis is waiting for Donna when Sumara approaches her during recess.

Sumara: I seriously need to talk to you, bestie.

Alexis: Is something the matter, Sumara?

Sumara: I think Donna's heading for a nervous breakdown.

Alexis: *alarmed* Why?

Sumara: The poor girl got heckled left, right and centre since roll call. I just found her in floods of tears in the library.

Alexis: Can you blame her after her "best friend" stabbed her in the back?

Sumara: No, I don't. And I don't think Donna wrote that letter either.

Alexis: Of course she didn't. I bet it's Natalie. Stupid f***ing bitch!

Sumara: Wouldn't be surprised.

Alexis: Who's with Donna now?

Sumara: Julianna, Carmen and Carina.

Alexis: At least she's got some true friends not like that bitch Mareta! If I wasn't dating her brother, I'd beat her up!

Sumara: That's not like Mareta to turn on anyone, though.

Alexis: I don't care. You mess with my friends, you mess with me.

Sumara: I still remember when you hit Mrs O'Malley with a ruler back in primary school.

Alexis: She deserved it for making you cry.

*Sumara laughs*

Alexis: We have to be there for Donna. She needs her friends right now.

Sumara: I totally agree. *hugs Alexis*

Later that morning, Vicki and Tevita are having another argument in the classroom.

Vicki: I still wish you should've got the petrol last night instead of this morning. We we're nearly late coming here!

Tevita: Vicki, I'm trying to do my work!

Vicki: You just want to avoid the subject as usual!

*Fed up with their constant arguments recently, Alison finally snaps.*

Alison: ENOUGH!!!!
*Vicki and Tevita look at Alison in shock*

Alison: Right, you two. With me, NOW!

*Vicki and Tevita follow Alison out of the classroom*

Rachael: I bet Ali's gonna tell them off.

Amy: You bet. She's about fed up with their fighting as we are.

(Once outside, Alison is more or less angry.)

Alison: I cannot believe how childish you are both being. Yes, you may have arguments in your relationship but don't bring them into TAFE! I'm really starting to get seriously annoyed with your constant bickering and yelling at each other and so are the rest of our friends! If the pair of you argue when we have dinner at Rashay's tomorrow night, not only will you both lose each other but you will lose me as a friend as well! *heads back into the classroom*

*Vicki and Tevita look seriously worried*

ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF ALISON PATTERSON'S JOURNEY

- The constant bullying takes it's toll on Donna

- Alexis decides to let Mareta know what she thinks of her!

- Will Alison's ultimatum solve Vicki and Tevita's arguing?
