year.
    “What do you think you’re doing?” said Yuri moving closer to
Lela who didn’t flinch. “Your fancy moves don’t impress me anymore,” he added.
    From the corner of her eye, Lela was monitoring the movements
of his new gang members. As Yuri moved closer to her, she noted the oriental
ones were well trained, their eyes moved well and their posture was good. She
might even get some decent practice this year. She turned her attention back to
Yuri, having not even bothered to register what he had said, although she had
sensed every movement of his body.
    She curled her nose up as Yuri got closer.
    “Euoouh, what is that smell? Yuri you really should get that
potty training sorted or wear the nappies, the toilets are over there,” she
shouted across the restaurant pointing to the toilets.
    Yuri couldn’t help but look down at himself. He had felt the
wetness but only now did he realise it was his own. He had wet himself after
Lela bumped into him. He hadn’t even felt it. He just stood in the middle of
the restaurant looking at his own mess while everybody watched him. A laugh
started at the back of the restaurant and soon the place was filled with it.
Yuri did not even look up, he just ran out of the restaurant with his head
down, his face bright red. His gang following closely behind but were careful
not to get too close.
    “You’re nasty,” said Tom to Lela.
    “He deserved it, the big bully,” replied Lela although she did
feel a little guilty. Her behaviour was no better than Yuri’s really. However,
the rest of the students didn’t feel that way and gave her a round of applause.
    “How did you do that?” asked Tom, who was always fascinated to
know more about Lela’s special skills.
    “It’s quite simple actually, if you hit the lower back in just
the right place, it relaxes the bladder and whoosh,” she replied nonchalantly.
She underplayed her scientific knowledge of the body, even the best trained
doctors could not have done what she did. The only other people who could do
these ‘simple things’ were the islanders.
    “I was surprised you were so public back there, you don’t
normally let people see your moves,” said Tom as he realised the implications
of what had just happened.
    “What are you talking about? I just bumped into him. That’s
all anybody would have seen,” replied a smug Lela.
    “Hmmm, anyway, come on, we need to speak to Oleg. He never
mentioned anything about Yuri coming back,” said Tom, leading the way back to
their block.
    It took them two minutes of hard knocking to wake up Oleg
despite the complaints from his neighbours.
    The door opened and a very drowsy Oleg stood in front of them.
    “What’s wrong?” he asked rubbing his eyes and yawning.
    “We want to know what the hell Yuri is doing back here?”
responded Tom.
    Oleg woke up immediately and looked behind them. “Where?” he
said panicking.
    “Well, that clears up that point,” said Tom to Lela. “He
obviously doesn’t know, that’s why he didn’t tell us.”
    Oleg became very agitated at the mention of his step-brother’s
name. Lela took him over to the bed and sat him down.
    “He’s here, back at The Academy?” he asked, incredulous.
    “’Fraid so,” replied Tom. “But there’s no need to worry,
Lela’s already declared war on him and his gang, so we’ve got that out of the
way nice and early.”
    Oleg looked at Lela as if she were crazy.
    “You’ve what?”
    “He’s just being over dramatic, don’t worry about it,”
comforted Lela.
    Tom proceeded to describe every gory detail of what had
occurred in the restaurant.
    A smile crept across Oleg’s face.
    “Really?” he asked.
    Lela nodded while Tom pulled out his mobile phone and showed
Oleg the pictures he had taken of Yuri’s most embarrassing moment.
    “Let me call my dad and see if he knows why he’s here,” said
Oleg picking up his phone.
    Tom and Lela listened as Oleg talked to his dad, waiting for
him to finish
