– Misfits 4 – Community Service

Slowly all over the next few minutes the rest of the crew filed out of the front door.

The last to come out was Tony, the probation worker. He took a deep breath. "This it it This is your chance to do something positive. Give something back. You can help people. You can really make a difference to people's lives. That's what community service is all about. You know, people out there they think you're scum. You have an opportunity to show them they're wrong…" he said.

"Yeah, but what if they're right," Nathan asked the probation worker.

Kelly gave him a surprised look.

Nathan looked over at Gary. "No offence, but I'm thinking some people are just born criminals," he said pointing towards Gary covertly.

"You looking to get stabbed? " Gary asked aggressively.

"You see my point there?" Nathan asked the probation worker.

A phone rang. Alisha grabbed the ringing phone from her pocket.

"Hey!" Alisha said answering the phone.

"Doesn't matter what you've done in the past…" Tony started saying.

"…doing my community service…" Alisha said talking over him.

"Hey!" Tony said trying to get her attention.

"..Boring as fuck…" she continued still ignoring him.

"Excuse me! Hello, I'm still talking here," Tony interrupted her.

"What? I'd though you'd finished…" Alisha said.

"You see my lips still moving? That means I'm still talking…" Tony berated her.

"Yeah, but you could have been yawning or… chewing." Nathan responded like a smart-ass.

Alisha smirked.

"End the call… Hang up!" Tony ordered losing his temper.

"My probation worker…" Alisha

Nathan pointed at Simon. "You alright there weird kid?" he asked.

Simon just looked away feeling too awkward to respond.

Alisha chuckled. "…don't be disgusting. Call you later," she said and hung up the phone.

Nathan got into Gary's personal space and blew him a kiss.

"I will rip out your throat and shit down your neck," Gary told him.

"I shouldn't be here man," Curtis said to himself more than anyone else.

"Look, we need to work as a team here…" Tony

Gary shoved Nathan who responded by puffing up his chest. Gary aggressively grabbed the collar of Nathan's jacket.

"Hey... That's enough!" Tony yelled.

"Can I move to a different group? This isn't going to work for me," Curtis said looking at Gary and Nathan fighting.

"Ehm… Wot makes u think you think that you better than us?" Kelly said in a thick chav accent.

"What is that accent?" Nathan asked her.

Curtis laughs. "Is that for real?" He asks.

"Wot you tryin' ta say sumthin' now then yeah?" Kelly retorted.

Nathan made a bewildered face. "It's… are you… that's just a noise. Are we supposed to be able to understand her?" he asked.

"Do you understand that?" Kelly asked flipping him off.

Chris chuckled watching the two of them which just earned him a glare from Kelly. 

Nathan smiles giving Gary a side hug. "I think she likes me," he said.

Gary pushed Nathan away. "Get off me!" He said.

He kept pushing Nathan.

"Pack it in!" Tony warned them.

"It's love, man!" Nathan said.

Tony got between the two of them trying to break up the scuffle.

"Do it man! Do it! You're a prick, man, look at you." Gary shouted.

Curtis, Alisha and Kelly just laughed watching them go at it with no intention to interfere or help Tony break up the fight.

Nathan kept taunting Gary from behind Tony who was doing his best to block Gary from reaching Nathan.

"You're a fuckin' pussy, bruv. He's taking the piss. Come here!" Gary yelled.

Chris grabbed him by the neck of his jumpsuit.

"Get your fuckin' 'ands off me!" Gary yelled at him.

Chris' grip tightened and lifted him up. "He's a right wanker, but you're pissin' me off the most right now," he said threateningly.

Gary gulped. He was feeling rather powerless in Chris' grip and it made him uncomfortable. "Fuck you!" he said. However despite his bluster he turned away, straightening his jumpsuit and hat rather than continuing the fight.

Chris shook his head, but didn't say anything. He had lost what little motivation he had to risk himself to save Gary. It would just be up to fate now.

Alisha was giving him another look. He could have sworn he saw her licking her lips.

Nathan gave him a wide smile. "Thanks pretty boy. I could've taken him though," he said.

Chris just rolled his eyes at his antics. He knew Nathan was just the worlds biggest troll, ignoring him didn't do much. However feeding him just made it worse.

Tony sighed. "Thank you, now back to what we'll be doing," he said.

He had told them to re-paint the outdoor benches around the community centre and lake as their first task. After making sure they had what they needed and were painting he walked off.

There were only three benches there and seven of them so they split into groups to split the benches between them.

After a they had been painting for a while Gary took off his cap and checked it out. What he saw pissed him off. "Oh man, there's paint on my cap," he said.

This is bullshit!" he yelled.

He walked off kicking a can of paint over in frustration.

"Ooh!" Alisha said making fun of him.

Curtis and Alisha laughed watching him rage as he walked off.

A shopping cart was blocking Gary's way so he kicked it away aggressively so he could keep going.

Alisha leaned over on the bench they were painting intentionally showing off her cleavage she had left exposed. "I know you." she said to Curtis with a playful smile.

"No, you don't." Curtis said.

"Yes, I do. You're that runner guy," Alisha said.

"You screwed up big time," Alisha said with a sly smile.

Curtis seemed annoyed. "You noticed, yeah? Thanks for reminding me." he said dismissively.

She rolled her eyes. She seemed to lose interest and turned to Chris instead. "What about you? Why are you here?" she asked curiously.
