Rehabilitation

"I can't do it when everyone's watching," Simon said timidly.

We were all stood in the locker room in our orange jumpsuits staring at Simon. We were trying to figure out who could have put that note in Nathan's locker and Simon suggested he turn invisible (I still couldn't believe he could actually become invisible) and see if anyone came into the locker room.

"So, I guess it's like pissing in a urinal if you've got a tiny cock," Nathan said.

Simon didn't find that funny.

"Wow, that's really impressive," Alisha said sarcastically and walked out. Everyone else followed.

"Brilliant, Barry," Nathan added.

"You know you don't have to be so mean to him," I lowered my voice so Simon couldn't hear, as me and Nathan walked out of the locker room.

"Who? Oh Barry, he's cool, we're only joking."

"Just stop being such a prick," I whispered angrily.

"Alright, i'll stop bullying your boyfriend."

I rolled my eyes, "He's not my boyfriend. You're just saying that because you want to be my boyfriend."

"Oh, do I?"

I walked ahead of him into the hall and turned back to say,  "Yes, but unfortunately I don't date pricks."

Nathan opened his mouth to say something but someone spoke before he could.

"Okay so, all of these clothes have been donated by members of the public and we need to sort them before we ship them out to Africa."

We were stood in the hall and this guy was there to tell us what we had to do for the day. In the hall was a big pile of clothes.

"If you've got any questions just ask."

Nathan shot his hand up. Here we go again.
"If a bear and a shark had a fight, who would win," Nathan asked. I bit back a smile.

The guy just stared at Nathan for a good few seconds before saying, "If you've got any relevant questions, just ask."

As the guy walked off, leaving us to sort the clothes, Nathan jumped into the pile. We all made our way into the the pile of clothes and I'm not sure how it happened but we all began throwing the clothes at each other.

"I think this would suit you," Nathan told me, holding up a bright green thong.

"Haha," I laughed sarcastically and threw a shoe at him. He dogged it so I picked up another one. This time it hit him on the shoulder and he winced. His expression slowly morphed into a charming smile.

He bent down and picked an item of clothing up and before I could react he had thrown it at me.

"Need some more socks, sock girl."

The socks had hit me right in the stomach so I managed to catch them.

I glared at him for a second but I couldn't help myself from smiling. I threw the socks right back at him and I stepped forward to push him, trying to knock him over into the pile of clothes.

He must have guessed what I was doing because he grabbed a hold of my arms as I pushed him making me fall with him. I landed almost on top of him and we both burst out laughing.

When I finally stopped laughing and could breath again I looked over at Nathan, a wide grin was on both of our faces. We were so close I could see he had the faintest trace of freckles on his nose.

"Ow," I groaned as Curtis pushed Alisha on top of us. We all burst out laughing again. We stood up, being careful not to touch Alisha's skin directly and after everything had calmed down we began to actually sort the clothes.

I was sat on the floor on one side of the pile and Nathan was sitting on the opposite side to me. He picked up a pair of ski goggles, "Here," he said putting them on his head, "Who am I?"

I stopped what I was doing to watch him as he began to hum a song in a strange voice. He kept going for a few minutes before stoping.

"Come on!" He waved his hands about in frustration, "Okay, i'll give you a clue, I'm an annoying cunt."

"Yeah, we know that," Alisha muttered. I snickered at her comment.

"No, i'm pretending to be an annoying cunt."

"Oh, you don't need to pretend to, you do it so well anyway," I smiled at him trying to sound serious.

He rolled his eyes at me and said, "I'm bono!"

We all just stared at him, unimpressed. He took the goggles off and we went back to sorting.

The rest of the day was pretty boring. Apart from Alisha flirting with guy that was helping us with the clothes and Curtis not even hiding the fact he was jealous. That was pretty entertaining to watch.

After we were done we all made our way into the locker room. I opened my locker, about to get out my clothes to get changed when Curtis jumped.

"Don't be doing that shit around me!" He snapped.

I turned around to see Simon standing next to Curtis grinning.

"What happened?" I asked.

"He just turned...not invisible," Curtis told me and then turned back to Simon and said, "Have you been in here all day?"

"Yep," Simon said proudly. I wish i'd seen it but now that Curtis had I found it a little easier to believe.

"What happened?" Kelly asked. If anyone left another note in our lockers Simon would have seen.

"Nothing. No one came in." Simon said.

Nathan gasped, "That's an anti-climax."
