Barwick 1910
6 years later.
Five boys around the age of twelve are gathered around an old oak tree on fine summers eve, two of the tallest boys are gathered within its branches, them boys being Stuart and Benedict, six years later and still competing.
"There is no point trying you silly bugger"
Benedict shouted with his yet to break voice
"Remember who the taller one is shortie"
Cried Stuart back, being two inches taller made all the difference in his mind.
"If you two would stop for a second I'm sure we all have the same imposing question fresh on our minds?"
The boys sighed at Alan's phrasing
" sorry, sorry. But Stuart my old chum how on earth did you get such a teribble dark bruise around your eye?"
Stuart grinned from ear to ear.
"Well you know our Katherine she invited me round to hers to eat some fresh made stew, next thing I know her lips are on mine. Then her dads fists in my eye"
His smile wavers for a second.
"What did you do stu?"
Jon's weedy voice almost like a whisper asked.
"Well I turned round and gave him a little something I like to call the sharker, he fell over and started crying"
Benedicts laughter was all to clear.
