《Maybe it would have been a good idea not to wish for a harem? Completed》 Chapter 1: Mackay and Seff make some wishes
Handel: The official neutral observer of Mackay and Seff Here we go again, two seventeen year old high school boys getting started on their favourite topic of conversation. I just wish they didn''t always try to drag me into it also. Yeah, it certainly would. anyone?" said Mackay. With all of these supercharged hormone effects flying around, let''s hope things don''t get out of hand. careful what you wish for..." said Handel. Mackay: Gets some sisterly love. Annoying little sister. I could just go home myself, after all Melissa knows the way... On second thoughts... I think it will be much better for my health if I wait. Mackay: A very bad day for his hypothetical harem Oh, right. She thinks I''m about as inviting as a week old dead rat dumped on her front porch. Hmm, my wishes for a harem aren''t looking too good, are they? Right again, the look she just gave me is definitely one of disdain. Or maybe contempt for my very existence. What did I do to deserve that? Oh well, I think the chances of achieving my harem goal has by now thoroughly evaporated. They''re still very desirable. What a shame there''s no chance..." Say, did he hear Seff? Oh well, I suppose he must be used to such things. He looks as if he had scrutinised us and then dismissed us as having no need for any further attention. So, he gets a chance to talk to a girl. Pity it has to be because of such a horrible accident. But I don''t get much of a chance, do I? There''s only one of my supposed harem members still healthy, Oh, and what do you know, there she is. What a miserable track record. All three of my not-harem-members cringe at the very sight of me. And two of them are now sick in hospital. Just hope nothing bad happens to Turquoise as well, otherwise I would start to feel guilty. Not sure what of, but still. Seff: Taking some first steps She''s still not looking at me directly, but still, it''s the first time I''ve had a direct conversation with a girl. How the hell did it get to this? Let''s get away from this divine retribution stuff. Daisy: Thinking about a nice boy Must do my homework. That''ll calm me down. And think about Seff. Maybe he''s a nice boy. A hug would be nice... Mustn''t think about such things. Do some homework.
Chapter 2: Mackay starts to wonder if his wish was just a bit unadvised Mackay: Some visits So, this weekend Seff is going to have a don''t-tell-the-parents date with Daisy. Handel is, of course, relaxing at home without the slightest care for such things. And I get my little sister lecturing me about being responsible. Still, I suppose I''m better off that those two poor girls. What the hell is this? What? This is relieving my mind? too relaxed, since I have some serious things to discuss." You''re reading my mind? Ugh, far too early to get up. Oh my God! What was all of that about? An Angel of Death. Free will. Judgement. Two girls dying. Did I have a have some sort of weird nightmare? Must get to school before the first lesson starts. Can''t take any chance that I miss the call for volunteers. She has the choice of not going. I don''t.
What am I being set up for? This must be the wrong room. Wrong room. Surely. Medium length black hair. Long auburn hair. Oh. Shit." he thought, "These little old ladies are Carmen and Jenny. There''s some mistake. Esmeralda! There''s no way I can help these poor girls! They are completely beyond my pitiful abilities! I''m out of my depth, right out of my depth, running out of oxygen, God help them because I can''t. The mothers are in denial? Denial? They must be in full-blown total rejection of reality! Ah, hold their hands? Right, it looks like I wasn''t all that wrong with my imagined scenario, after all. I have actually made them better. How amazing. And wonderful. What¡¯s gone wrong now? Was that all that my influence was worth? was going on? This was on the mind of everyone present. Especially the minds of the two nurses and the two doctors present. They all watched in wonder as, over the next half hour, the girls went from near death to - well, not to full health, not yet. But they did get to full consciousness. With full awareness of their surroundings. And themselves. boy? What if he attacks me?" said Jenny. him." him. It appears that the needle will get to the green part sometime in the middle of the night." Paying the price. They sure were paying the price. Stuck together like this. Hope we don''t end up murdering each other. Be thankful for small mercies. do not rape! Please!" For the time being? I get the feeling that the price to pay imposed by Esmeralda is not running out any time soon. Melissa: A daughter to be proud of everyone? Chapter 3: Three first ‘dates’ Seff and Daisy: First date Dasiy: Seff: Oh, wow, she''s got such warm soft skin. Daisy: This feels nice to be wanted, to have someone cherish her. It''s also somewhat scary, can I really trust him? It''s nice to have someone take an interest in me. Seff: It''s nice to get her talking - wait, did she just imply that there''s no one home at her place now? This is the first time I''ve sat on a girl''s bed with her! Perhaps she''ll let me kiss her! But will she want to? Daisy: Should I have let him in, let alone let him sit on my bed? He''s getting all anxious and nervous. He''s really a nice boy, after all. Seff: Did I do that? But this seems completely out of proportion. What''s going on? Daisy:
Seff: Oh. Bloody hell. What do I do now? Daisy: It''s so nice to be held and have him express his concern for me. Seff: This is a lot more than I bargained for. But, on the other hand, I am now hugging her. Perhaps I can still kiss her? Daisy: Such a contrast, so nice to share my pain. Seff: Wow, I got to kiss a girl! Although that rape thing is pretty bad. I suppose if I don''t bring it up again, then maybe things will be ok? Handel: Also meets a girl. Oh, shit! It''s one of the girls from my class! Ah, what''s her name? That was not very nice of her, to imply that Seff and Mackay are not worth anything. This is unfortunate - after all that is exactly we do. Except that, I don''t look at the girls, of course. Ah, but the other two do. Bingo! She has me there. Well, except - anyone." only ones I''m capable of." something or other. She turned back to him and moved towards him, ending at a safe social distance in front of him. That''s a relief, to get away from her. And, are we really going to have a talk the next time we meet? At least that is the third person I''ve come out to. I suppose I''ll have to do my parents next. Mackay: His new sleeping arrangements Normally I just wear my worn out shorts and that T-shirt which is almost falling apart. But, if I wear something like that here, I''ll end up being attacked with the nearest blunt instruments by two enraged girls." Oh, shit, what if I get a... Think! Think! What can we do? I''m supposed to be responsible for these two. And the burning eyes of an Angel of Death are scorching the back of my neck, as she waits for me to stuff up. Anyway, apart from the main house and the normal set of rooms, there is a wing with eight bedrooms in it. So this is where you lot will be sleeping." said Jiro. Yeah, they need protection from horrible little old me. Ok, Ok, I''ll concede that this is real strain for both of them also. Janet: Mackay: OK, if I get up carefully, I can tip toe around Jenny''s bed... masturbate, God damn it! I''m a teenage boy! I was doing my best not to let anyone know. And no, I don''t fantasize about you two girls. Even in my fantasies, I don''t rape. And all I get is to be screamed at! This is all too much, why do I have to pay such a price to save you?" hate having to lie in a bed next to his, for heaven''s sake, just to maintain my health. But, you know, I''m reasonably sure that he''s doing his best to look after us. And it must be trying to him also, after all." boy." Janet: Chapter 4: Getting used to each other Mackay: Back to school strictly platonic!" said Handel. He sounded annoyed. Janet: Gets a summary of the progress of the investigation Janet: Coping with nuisance and disruption Mackay: Damage control Seff and Daisy: Second date Seff: Now''s my chance. Daisy: This is so nice. Someone is eager for my friendship and companionship. Seff: This is so nice. Her lips are so soft and warm. I need to make sure she really is ok with all of this. Mackay: Lead up to an all hands on deck discussion Apparently, she regards me as being just as threatening as Hyacinth. What''s she so scared about, anyway? him not to scrape his knife over the plate so much. It''s a really irritating noise." said Carmen. And stop saying Sorry all of the time!" said Carmen. In a voice that indicated she was getting to the end of her tether, and her next actions might include a hand axe and lots of blood being unfortunately spilt all over the place. Discussion Group you pay? What about the price we pay? I have my life to live, but I''m chained to this callow boy. Ok, I''ll grant you that you appear to be a reasonably nice boy, but nonetheless. I''m stuck with you! I have to sleep next to you! It''s so horrible, and what am I going to say to the kids at school if they ever find out?" Chapter 5: Adding the last harem member Daisy: Going to church with her parents But I didn''t do anything to encourage it! I didn''t! I was raped! Take deep breaths. Don''t cause any worry to my parents. That''s right, be calm. The singing is next. Mackay: The story is released Seff: Tells Daisy the news next to them! Next to them! Mackay was very definite about that point." Ms Williams: Handel: Telling Harmony: not a harem!" Mackay: Makes himself useful Janet: Another police meeting Mackay: Gets his full harem Hyacinth: Plays her part Mackay: Saves again you certainly don''t have friends, do you?" The north bound express does not stop at this station, will all patrons please stand back from the platform''s edge" went the automated message. Sometimes I hate myself for being a teenage boy. Right. I''m in charge, by the looks of it. Maybe this time I''m not totally out of my depth? You have done nothing wrong! It is your father that is at fault." said Carmen. Maybe it''s your turn now? and an Angel of Death watching my every move." Janet: Turquoise: No longer living in fear Chapter 6: Girl Power Jenny: Is starting to come to certain conclusions Actually, what do I think of him? Oh, don''t be so mean, Carmen. He does have some good points - I think? So, Turquoise wants to be good friends with Mackay. That''s - nice. Turquoise: Has her hair combed If I''m right next to Carmen I certainly don''t mind! This is so nice. Such a contrast to yesterday''s breakfast. Hey! Does she want to hold hands with Mackay? Yes! I really like this group. Carmen most of all. at all. And we, of course, have absolutely no desire to go into his room." said Carmen. Janet: A police officer''s work is never done. Chapter 7: Both Seff and Mackay make some progress Seff: Meeting Daisy''s parents Ok, Ok, I don''t disagree with the need to keep commitments, not at all. But isn¡¯t this just a bit over the top? This must be standard fare for Sunday mornings. Frankly, it looks like religious theatrical performance to me. But I think I''ll keep my opinion to myself. Hey! I get to hold Daisy''s hand. So this is why we are in this order. Although it does feels a bit strange to also be holding the hand of a grown up woman. But I do wonder where does Mackay¡¯s Angel of Death fit into all of this? Three girls and Mackay walk to school three girls all walked to school together. Mackay and Jenny tentatively agree that sometime in the future maybe... Mackay: Turquoise and Carmen are getting along well. In spite of Carmen''s alpha male obsession. It would be nice... Nyah, doesn''t appear anything''s going to be happening any time soon. Jenny: Mackay has a really nice smile, doesn''t he? Since I''m stuck with him, I wonder... On the other hand, he''s always clicking buttons on that stupid computer game. What a worthless occupation. Maybe we could have a talk about something? Mackay and Jenny: I mean, perhaps you will have to put up with me, anyway. Maybe I should just put up with that, after all, what choice do I have in the matter?" said Jenny. Jenny: Damaged goods. That''s what I am. Damaged goods. I''ll never be able to get a man. Plus my very life is dependent on Mackay''s kindness. Every single day for the rest of my life. Oh my God. Who would be interested in me under those sorts of circumstances? Well, I suppose Mackay, perhaps? But he''s just putting up with me, paying the price of saving me. I should just vanish from his life; let him find someone for himself. But didn''t he actually say he wanted to be my boyfriend? Did he really? Or was he just being kind, just pretending to like me because he doesn''t want to cause a fuss. After all, he tends to take the easy way out of things. What a mess. I don''t know what to think. And my charge is down to ten minutes. Are they from across the road? Or close by? And where''s my phone - oh shit it''s at home. Mackay: Parker: Jenny: This is it. I can''t keep going. Maybe it will be for the best. I just get in Mackay''s way. But, what about mum and dad? And the others? Oh, what am I doing? Mackay: The Parents: Mackay: Chapter 8: At last, they make their choices The Alpha Male Event Alpha Male event?" said Carmen, "I''ve never heard of such a thing." real inner circle, of course. That''s right out of our reach. You could say that we''re being invited to the public inner circle. Where we can pretend to be on the same social terms as the premier and party politicians and generals, not to mention the movers and shakers of our economy. Us and a couple of hundred of others. But, nonetheless, it''s your chance to mix with those considered to be the alpha males of our society. And to go to the same exclusive shows as they do." Mackay: Wow! She looks really nice! The Alpha Male Event: Carmen: He''s a genuine alpha male! What do I do now? But Turquoise and Jenny are wonderful people. And he just casts them off without a second glance? That''s... Slightly off putting. They''re not like my mum''s and dad''s; they have nice smile lines around their mouths and eyes, but him... I hadn''t realised that there was such a difference between people. All of the parents look better than him. Mackay: Oh, crap. Carmen: I''m not having much luck with alpha males this evening, am I? Oh. Yuck. I think I''m out classed. Or something. Mackay: Well, well, it worked! All in all, this isn''t half so bad after all. Jenny: I''m so sorry I freaked out so much when we first started all of this. I hope he can see past all of that. He really does have a kind face. Perhaps I could give him some feedback about that? He''s really is hopeless at hair, isn''t he? Makes him look interesting. Perhaps like one of those heroes in the romance adventure books? Kinda cute. He knows! Right. Ok. Carmen: Oh jeez, this is too hard. Four teenagers: Chapter 9: The Plot Thickens Charlie: Let¡¯s go bowling! What the hell did he think he was doing? Jiro: What was that, something bad happening again? Janet: Jiro: our man." my man, Ok?" This is actually getting quite entertaining. I''d better not tell anyone, but. Daisy: Am I getting confused? Seff really is kind and nice. Police Station Boss Parker: Daisy: Having a talk Oh, that''s Jenny having a read. I wonder where her friends are. It¡¯s certainly a weird story about her recovery and association with Mackay and those other girls. Now, what was it, that''s right, that nice lady police officer from last night is her mother. Surely she didn''t tell Jenny about my being attacked... But Seff abandoning me she might have... Jenny: Daisy: Mackay: too upset." But, I suppose Seff wouldn''t deliberately hurt Daisy, so... Chapter 10: Seff Crosses the Line Hyacinth: Making a friend Everything''s going wrong. They don''t care. Don''t care. I didn''t really have any friends at all, did I? Neither of us is coping with that police station visit, are we? I suppose she is trying her best. But still... I just don''t care. Turquoise: She looks bloody miserable. Because of her bullying, where I am now is much much better than where I was before. I suppose she must have her own problems. Ok, Ok, maybe I will try. I hope that Hyacinth doesn''t lash out and push me away. Hyacinth: What the hell, is she going to rub my face in it? Remind me all about the humiliation of apologising in front of everyone? Well, they certainly have made friends. Daisy: Another date with Seff Seff: Daisy: So this is what''s it like to be in a loving relationship. I wonder how the next steps in our emotional bonding will go? But, I had better keep this from my parents for the time being. Things are going well; there is no need for them to worry about me. Seff: Dad''s not home from his truck driving for another three days. Wow! So that''s what''s it like to kiss and pet a girl. I can hardly wait for the next stage! Hyacinth: Makes a move So, does that mean Seff is a good candidate for being a boyfriend for someone else, just like my mother is always saying? Maybe. Turquoise has gotten a girlfriend. Jenny has gotten a boyfriend. They were the two girls considered least likely to find anyone anytime soon. But they did. So why can''t I? After all, he is a good candidate. Let''s ask him when no one else is around. After all, he can only say no, can''t he? So he ends up being one more student I avoid, but considering how many I''m avoiding now, anyway, so what? He actually said yes. What do I do now? Seff: I''m only going to see the movies with Hyacinth. I''m not doing anything more, so Daisy shouldn''t complain. And if she doesn''t know, then it''s all right, isn''t it? Hyacinth: I asked him for a date. So, I suppose, this is how it proceeds. That was - well, I suppose it felt strange, doing all of that with a boy. My first kiss. And first petting. He was certainly keen on my body. I don''t know him at all, really. But he does seem to be a worthwhile person. I see no reason why we can''t develop feelings for each other. And right now, the physical stuff is really not very interesting to me. But, hmm, given enough time for the emotions to rise, well... Of course I would only want to bother to develop that if it¡¯s a long term relationship. So, I suppose we shall see. Seff: Hyacinth''s legs felt wonderful! So did her lips when I was kissing her. I really must make another date with her. But what about Daisy? If she finds out, she would be very hurt. And I certainly don''t want that. She probably would also be very angry. I certainly wouldn''t be able to have any more physical contact with her. But, if Daisy doesn''t find out, then it doesn''t matter, does it? Janet: Rose: Meets some orphans I wish I had taken off my jumper. Cold and wet one moment, and then hot and sweaty the next. Which way? What do I do? Can''t let that lie around for any other kids to pick up. Never mind, I can do it. At least I have someone to look after. This is so much fun. I must tell dad all about it. The police: another one?" very interested in this titbit of information. Rose: Seff: Well, if Hyacinth just out right asked me for a date, what if I just out right ask Rose for a date? I mean, it is not as if I actually doing anything with her, is it? Rose: I wish I could tell dad all about arranging my first date. Although why did Seff request it to be kept a secret from the other students? I mean, just because he has broken up with Daisy doesn''t mean that everyone else will think ill of him if he finds another girl, does it? Well, whatever. I must remember to ask dad what he thinks of this. Chapter 11: Seff is very busy Seff: Another date with Daisy Wow, I got to do all of that with Daisy! And tomorrow I have another date with Hyacinth. And then the night after, another date with another girl! I wonder how far Rose will allow me to go? Seff: Second date with Hyacinth Wow! That was even better! And tomorrow I have a date with Rose. Although, I had better rein in my expectations, it is only a first date, after all. Hyacinth: Are all men that keen on the sex bit? But apart from that, it''s so nice to have someone special. This is purely a precaution, Ok? Purely a precaution. It doesn''t mean I will necessary do anything anytime soon. And I certainly won''t tell him anything. Hyacinth: Swimming date with Seff But mum, it didn''t last. So that could just as well mean that he wasn''t a good catch? Swimming. Hmm. So he will get to see me in my swim suit. Now, do I want that... Of course, it''s all in the public, so there is no possible misunderstandings about what may or may not be expected to happen... think I shall wear my bikini. I haven''t worn it yet in public, you know." Ooh, he''s certainly noticing my body, but he''s doing his best to be polite about it. I think this might be fun! And he looks worried; maybe he thinks that he might be embarrassing himself very soon. Gotcha! first." said Hyacinth. Wait on, does that mean I actually am noticing the handsome men, even if just a little bit? Let''s hope that Seff doesn''t catch that. something starting with the letter P." That was incredibly good fun. I don''t think I''ve ever had such a good time like that since my childhood. We really do go together very well. We are starting to get to know each other. I can hardly wait to learn more! Seff: I can hardly wait to get alone with her again, her body is fantastic. Actually, our math teacher was also gorgeous... Seff and Rose: Seff: She looks so gorgeous, with her short skirt and top and hair ribbon. I wonder how soon we can get physical? Rose: He seems to be so interested in my life and me. I wonder how soon we can get to the intense emotional sharing stuff? Seff: Didn''t get far with the physical stuff, but it''s still a good start. Rose: I get to bring him with me to look after the children. This is going to be fun! I wish I could talk about this to dad. Although, on Saturday night after I have visited the orphanage with Seff, I can give dad all the details. That will have to do. Hmm, does it really make any difference that the other students know about our relationship? Well, never mind, I suppose it doesn''t make any difference, anyway. Seff and Rose: Taking a child to the zoo. Seff: This is hopeless. Evan hates me, and there is no way I can have any sort of interaction with Rose. Rose: I don''t know what''s gotten into Evan. By now, Seff is probably thinking both Evan and me are a write off. He''ll probably lose interest in me and not bother to say hello to me ever again. Seff: Little Evan is such a cute kid after all. It''s not what I expected, but the date was certainly fun. Apart from the zoo visit, of course. And now I get to visit Rose again, even if it is for a meal at the orphanage. Then, maybe afterwards, I can get some together by ourselves time with her! Rose: He really does like children. That''s so wonderful. Our personalities are definitely compatible! And, if we stay together, maybe we can have our own lovely children... Rose: Becoming friends with Carmen Well, now, why don''t I try talking to Carmen again? Her father is a policeman, and my father is now living with a policeman, so perhaps that can be a conversational starter. After all, dad did say that he was no longer going to keep his relationship a secret. The only difficulty is that Carmen is rarely seen without the other girls, especially Turquoise... man. Dad has finally decided to come out of the closet. His name is Gagnon, you know the one who deals with most of the school policing." Chapter 12: Everybody dates Four teenagers: Let us get out of here! Mackay: First date with Jenny She¡¯s so full of energy, so happy for once. This is great! Carmen and Turquoise: Four Teenagers: Parents can be so embarrassing sometimes The Parents: All things considered, it''s not all that bad after all. Daisy: Another date with Seff Daisy: We are creating a bond, emotional and spiritual and sexual. This is wonderful. And why shouldn''t it last for our lifetimes? Seff: Hooray! I got to caress a girls'' breasts, with her full permission. This is wonderful. And why shouldn''t things proceed to even more triumphs in the near future? Hyacinth: Another date with Seff If I''m really going to be in a relationship with Seff, I had better be as truthful as possible. Which means that I''m going to have to tell him about... Seff: A girl wearing only her underwear! This is exciting! Hyacinth: So this is what it''s like to have a friend and to go on outings. I love it! And doesn''t he love my body! I should have no problem binding him to me. And vice versa, of course. I''m even beginning to enjoy the petting. And it''s also nice having help from Turquoise with my mathematics. So how can I repay her? I suppose I could try developing a friendship with her, couldn''t I? Rose: Another date with Seff. And Evan. Seff: Oh wow! Rose with just a bra and skirt! And, she likes it! I can hardly wait for more. Rose: That was fun! We are definitely a matching couple. It is so good to play with children together like that. And the petting afterwards was great also. Although, am I going a bit too fast? It wasn''t too much after dad introduced me to Gagnon that he started to spend the occasional night with him. Although perhaps he knew Gagnon for a while before introducing him to me? Exactly how fast should Seff and I proceed? But, but, if we are compatible, does it matter? And, and, well, the petting is so good... Seff: Perhaps I''m getting distracted by other things? Chapter 13: Mackay is Well and Truly Owned Mackay: Has a discussion with three girls to further clarify certain things Seeing Jenny''s silhouette like that, she really has got a very attractive body. Very attractive... Say, has she stopped wearing a bra under her pyjama tops? Oh, shit, this is getting just a little awkward. Oh shit. I''m in deep trouble. I should have woken up earlier and made my escape. Actually, I didn''t really need that extra bit of information right now... This is getting really really bad. I hope nobody notices. Oh-oh... Fat chance, Mackay. Gulp. boy and made a facial expression of utter contempt. And probably dashed off to your room." said Jenny. gorgeous girls, and considering that we just can''t get away from you, I really think you should - just stop looking at pictures of other ladies. Carmen and Turquoise, don''t you agree?" all of the time." No one in sight. Phew. At last... Could I give these to some other boy? Nyah, too embarrassing. Besides which, the only suitable one I know is Seff, and, well, ah, let''s forget it. Have to re-format, not just erase. Since erasing them only flips some bits to say that the memory pages are free, the image data is still present. So, I get to admire Carmen''s and Turquoise''s bodies, with their approval. Limited approval, but still. That''s actually quite an achievement, considering up to now I''ve had to sneak looks at every girl whose body I have ever admired. I''m sure most were aware of it, but none would have been all that enthusiastic about it all. But now I get to have Jenny as a girlfriend, and I still maintain friendships - strictly platonic! - with the other two. Hmm, overall, not bad. Maybe the price I have to pay for saving the girls is not very high, after all. Wait a moment, our situation means that Turquoise, and to a lesser extent Carmen, also get to admire Jenny''s lovely body. So does that mean that things are not quite so one sided? Perhaps I should say something about this... On second thoughts, I think I will leave things as is. Turquoise: Jiro and Janet: Turquoise: Cuddling a baby It feels a lot easier being close to him when we''re both looking after a baby. In bed with the flue: Chapter 14: Fading to Black Mackay: Carmen: Daisy: Such a beautiful relationship to be in. Although I will have to tell my parents at some stage. And eventually we will, of course, work out some arrangement for living together. And one day have children. Hmm, how many I wonder? Seff: Fantastic, just fantastic. That makes doing it by oneself look like nothing at all! Her body is incredible! Hyacinth: I''m feeling nervous about all of this, but by the looks of it Seff isn''t. Which is a good thing, isn''t it? He really enjoyed himself, didn''t he! And I''m starting to do so also. So this is what it''s like to start a life time partnership. Seff: Rose: Narrator: Hyacinth: Making friends Oh. Have I lost her friendship after all? But why? Turquoise: Jenny: I wasn''t expecting this... Say, isn''t Daisy just a tiny bit defensive here? But why? I was completely freaked out by the horror of last year. It took me ages to warm to Mackay, and even now just kissing him is about the most I can do. Well, apart from sleeping in a bed next to his. But that''s due to the actions of an Angel of Death, it certainly does not count as the normal part of a relationship. Whereas, Daisy managed to continue her school life without noticeable difference, and she has now even started a physical relationship. People sure can be different. Nyah, I won''t even tell the Mackay and the others. Even if I still think something is just a bit off. Carmen: Seff? The coward who ran away when his first girlfriend was threatened? And why so fast?" Bloody hell, Rose is being so damned nice about my outburst. It''s forcing me to consider the possibility of acting nice in return. Handel: Frankly, I don''t understand your obsession with sex and all of that. It''s such a waste of time. really slept with a girl?" said Mackay. gone all the way! But has he changed?" said Handel. Mackay: He did say it was a secret, but on the other hand, he didn''t say that I couldn''t tell my close friends... But if I do tell them, it''s no longer a secret, is it? But Seff has told us, so it''s already no longer a secret, isn''t it? Turquoise and Hyacinth: Janet: Chapter 15: The Shit Hits the Fan Janet: MC for a very robust discussion On that Friday evening, at the dining room table after their meal, were the four teenagers, plus the three mothers. Jiro was out, with the other two fathers, at the bowling range. your slimy friend is two timing, no three timing, Rose? What sort of friends do you have?" said Carmen. Jenny: It''s amazing how much control over herself Daisy has. By the time we got to her house, no one would have known that her emotions were in complete turmoil. Daisy: Oh my God. I feel like I''ve been shouted at for the last two hours. Now, let''s see. If I had gotten pregnant as a result of being - raped - last year, then, then I would have definitely gotten an abortion. Bringing up a child in that sort of circumstances... But this, this was by an act of love. Except that, it wasn''t, was it. No, it was, at least on my part. But, but, Seff, but, was he just playing around? Does he actually love me? But, if he did, then why would he go after not one but two other girls? Oh shit... I''m going to have to discuss all of this with him. But not tonight. Tomorrow. Meanwhile, meanwhile, what am I going to do? Damn it. I''m going to have this baby! I thought he or she was conceived in an act of love, so that''s good enough! I will go through with it! I have to tell my parents, I''m going to be missing school next year, what about all my other friends, how am I going to I cope with bringing up a baby, oh hell. Carmen: Rose is so nice. She is so sure of herself, so committed to her image of a wonderful Seff. And I have to smash that feeling, destroy her wellbeing. This is all too much, even for me... Nevertheless, she kept trying. Using as reasonable as possible voice, without too many sarcastic edges to her tone, she laid out the evidence. And held Rose''s hands as she reduced her to tears. Seff is a shit. A real shit. God, boys are horrible - wait, Mackay is actually nice, isn''t he? And, I suppose my dad is, err, a grown up boy. And he''s nice. And the other two dads. But still, Seff is - Carmen added a few swear words. In fact, just like Turquoise''s dad. They are both unspeakable. Plus that rapist! So, some men are horrible. Some men deserve to be ... As Carmen made her way home, she entertained herself answering the question about what these men deserved. She got quite inventive, too. Rose: Turquoise: Mackay: Seff: Why must they be so upset? Jeez this isn''t fun at all. Daisy: I''m pregnant, but I haven''t told anyone yet. My boy friend has been hopping from bed to bed and betraying us all. My parents are going to freak out when they learn about all of this. Jenny is the only confidant I have, but even she doesn''t know the full story. Seff. Seff. After all, he is the father of the baby, isn''t he? So he deserves to be told. So, perhaps, he will be willing to commit himself to me, after all. I mean, won''t he want to have a part in his child''s future? Surely those other two girls were just, err, just, ah, just what? I going to cope? It''s your baby too, you know." jerk that you jump into bed with any girl that smiles in your general direction!" I''m glad we sorted that out. Wait, we forgot to actually make any arrangements for the future... Well, next time I''m sure we''ll get to it. Hyacinth: I can''t hide in my room forever. Maybe I''ll meet him and give him a piece of the mind. At least I can let off some steam. anything unless it is in a committed exclusive relationship!" Well, I''m glad we''re together again... Wait, we haven''t sorted out anything for the future, and, and... What the hell, have we really sorted anything out? I went there to give him a piece of my mind, and, and, we end up making love. But, has he really reformed? Shit, I still don''t know why he ended up in bed with two other girls. I mean, why? How? Shit, have I been taken for a ride? Again? Aargh! Damn him! Am I that desperate for love and friendship? I am. I''m that desperate. How pathetic. What the hell do I do? Come to think of it, what the hell are those other two girls going to do? With my boyfriend. What if I have a talk with those two girls? Make sure they aren''t going to pinch my boyfriend again. Or something. Rose: But that should be alright, I''m only going to talk with Seff. Only going to try to find out just what sort of person he really is. two other girls?" both of them?" He is a nice boy, after all. He''s a nice boy, right? Of course he is. But, did we really resolve anything during our discussion? We didn''t make any concrete plans for our future at all, did we? We just made love. But, he''s said that he wouldn''t stray again, and I can believe him, can''t I? Can''t I? How could anyone lie in such circumstances? But, but, he actually did end up in bed with those two other girls, didn''t he? How the hell can he just ''accidentally'' end up like that? I''m getting confused here. Confused, confused. Should I talk to my dad? But, how embarrassing, I split up with Seff, then just go straight back to bed with him. Oh, what a mess, a mess... I wonder what those other two girls are thinking of now? The three flower girls: something. Moving between classrooms at one of their change overs, she saw Daisy walking by herself. my boyfriend alone in future." Your boyfriend? He''s my boyfriend. So don''t you forget it." said Daisy. What!" said two voices simultaneously. Chapter 16: Bad News Janet: Telling the teenagers the bad news Mackay: Has been very busy? two babies. Oh, my, Seff was right, she really does look gorgeous! And, wow, she certainly does look just a little pregnant. three babies. Wait, wait, how does that work out, anyway? not a case of getting three more girls for you harem! You must admit that you already have sufficient! Right?" Daisy: Hyacinth: Rose: Handel: different ideas about how a platonic friendship goes. And when I struggled to maintain my boundaries, I was told that I was pushing them into the friend zone! Which is where I thought we were, anyway! And then some of them got even nastier!" Janet: Turquoise: Just a little conversation about death Class discussion time: They just cannot get away from the topic, can they? Chapter 17: End of Term is Approaching Mackay: I suppose that is a reasonably high standard..." little bit. and their married teacher." said Jenny. Carmen: Turquoise was so much more agreeable when we first met. But, I suppose, that was when she was still shell shocked from you know what. But she doesn''t have to make such digs at me! Although, I suppose some of the comments I''ve made about Mackay have been far worse... Perhaps the more she regains her normal personality, the more independent in her opinions she becomes? Relationships really are hard. But I don''t want to be preached at by him! She was picking up some nasty vibes. Molly: Daisy: But, that was never going to happen, anyway, was it? Janet: Back to the time that Inspector Parker and co were investigating the three prime suspects that sort of things to anyone, let alone innocent teenagers..." Four Teenagers: Janet: bastard. The only doubt is how soon. And how much damage he might do in the meanwhile." Mackay: Chapter 18: End Game Janet: Jenny: A message from someone - Oh Won''t die. Won''t die. Mum told me not to split from the others. But if she ignored the message, Mackay would die. And everyone else. But if she obeyed the message, she would be, would be, ... Pathological. Pathological. This certainly is. What to do... If she doesn''t do what was being asked, Mackay would die... Mackay: Parker: Trevor: Jenny: If I meet him, he''ll only rape me, right? He said so in his email. Surely? Otherwise, he''ll kill Mackay. I know he can, he could have killed him easily last week. And I''ll die also. What will mum and dad think? I can''t allow that, I can''t. But it''s so horrible, horrible. Mackey: Parker: Jenny: Trevor: Janet: Parker: Jenny: Trevor: Janet and Charlie: Trevor: Mackey: Parker: Mackay: Janet and Charlie: Trevor: Mackay: So that¡¯s what she looks like when she really is angry. Trevor and Parker: Why was everyone in the room staring out of the window, and not at the body? Janet: Tanner: Mackay and Handel: Tally the Final Score Chapter 19: Epilogues Birthday party: You might get it.¡± Eight decades later: They got their wish.
