Book one (Tales from Kingswood) and book two (The Kingswood Eight) can be found in the High School section.

So excited to get started on book three of The Kingswood Saga. As usual, Chapter 0 is short part showing what happened over the summer. As you may recall, things did not end on a particularly positive note at the end of The Kingswood Eight. Can the boys recover? Read on to find out.

Aside from his usual constant texts with Chris, he hadn't heard from anyone in the dorm since they left Kingswood two days ago, though that was understandable considering most of the dorm weren't talking to each other. Two years or relative harmony and all it had taken was one week for it all to fall apart. He hoped he could use the summer to start mending things, though he knew he was being painfully optimistic. He thought for a moment and started typing. Danny: Hey everyone. Hope u all had a good journey and got home safe. Anyone got exciting summer plans? Rob: Never a long journey home for me, which is great. Off to France next week! [David has left the group] [Chris has left the group] Danny: Come on guys!!!! [Josh has left the group] [James has left the group] Nicky: Sorry everyone [Nicky has left the group] Mikey: This summer's gonna suck! [Mikey has left the group] Danny: I thought they just needed time to cool off :( Rob: They do. It's only been a week. Give them time! Anyway, what are you up to this summer? Danny: I got 2 wks at home on my own then Brians coming to stay for 2 weeks and after that I'm going back to his place til school starts back up. Rob: Wow, meeting the boyfriend's family. That's big... I assume! Danny: I hadn't even thought of that. I was so excited about spending time with him that I never even realised it meant he'd meet my family! Crap!!!! That IS big. Is it 2 big? It feels really big. Is it 2 soon? Rob: Mate, chill. It IS big but it's not too soon. You've been dating for a whole year. You're already engaged!!! LOL Danny: I told u, its not a engagement ring! Rob: Hold on, I'm just searching for the right Beyonce meme! Danny: Ur not funny!!!!! Rob: Really? My boyfriend says I am!! :) :) :) Danny: You and Luke are 2 cute together. Maybe when we go back we shud double date! Rob: TBH our dates are mostly just sex haha Danny: Ours too... we shud double date ;) Rob: Ha, nice. Missing you already, ya big perv! Danny: Besides, we may be the only two guys in the dorm who are still talking by then! Rob: It'll get better. Danny: What if it doesn't? What if this is just how it is now? Rob: Chill. It's all good. Why don't we divide and conquer. You work on Chris, Nicky and Mikey. I got the other three. Danny: Ugh, can u take Nicky? I know Chris said he had a reason for what he did, but he still hurt Chris and I'm worried I'll let rip on him. Rob: Fair. How about I trade you Nicky for James? Danny: Deal! We can check in next week before u swan off to France! Just checking, are u just going to try and get better at French so u can finally get top grades in the rest of the subjects, ya suck-up? Mr Richter'll be so proud. Rob: Ha. No chance. He said in my report that French probably isn't `the right fit' for me or something. Total lost cause. Only 3.5 stars! Danny: ONLY? I dropped to 2 and a half. Maybe I should be going instead of u! Rob: 2.5 is good... for you, anyway lol. Danny: I was wrong... not even u and me are gonna be talking in Year 9!!!!! Rob: Ha. Nice. Danny: Are u sure it'll all be okay. I'm kinda scared that things are too messed up. Rob: Danny, trust me. It's all gonna be fine. Now go. We'll chat again soon xx Danny: Thanks. Speak soon xx ***** As Danny closed the group chat – although just himself and Rob didn't really count as a `group' anymore – and started messaging Chris directly. Danny: Oy, arsehat. Why'd u leave the group chat? Chris: Cos I didn't want to speak to most of the guys in it, and don't call me arsehat. My official title is wankstain! Danny: Yeah, makes sense. Anyway MOST of the guys???? Arent u just pissed Nicky? Chris: Nope. Most of them! Nicky for dumping me the way he did. Mikey for being part of it and dumping me too on the SAME day. James for making me lie to David. Josh for being a bully, I hate bullies. Rob for defending Josh, it's like... come on, we get ur in love with him or whatever, but he was beating up a Year 7 kid. You can't defend that! David for just being a little bitch. It's not MY fault James lied to him. Danny: So I'm the only one who's safe? Yay, I'm a survivor! Chris: Next year's gonna SUCK!!!! Danny: And so will u... every chance u get!!! :p Chris: I really wish you were as funny as you think you are. I'd never stop laughing. Danny: Aww, ur a real widdle Mr Cwankypants today aren't u Chris: Yes I am and I think I have good reason to be. Danny: You do. I can sympathise. It's so hard, I can barely imagine something so difficult! Hey, have I ever told u about the time I got paralysed... Chris: Don't you dare!!! Danny: It was horrible, laying there, unable to move. I had so many reasons to be cranky... Chris: DANNY! Stop it!!! Danny: Day after day in so much pain. Never knowing if I'd even walk again... Chris: STOP! I know what you're doing and I get your point but I need you stop joking about that!! Danny: Haha chill Chris: No, I won't chill. Not about THAT! I get that it happened to YOU and I'm glad you can joke about it, but I still have nightmares about that whole time and I can't handle joking about it, even with you, so please please please stop! Danny: Sorry, I guess I didn't really think about that Chris: I know. And I know you didn't mean to make me cry (shut up!!) but just don't do it again, okay? Danny: Okay, I promise. I'm sorry, love u xxxx Chris: You're forgiven. But I do kinda get what you're saying. I know the shit that happened isn't... like... world ending stuff, but you just gotta let me feel what I feel. Danny: Ok ok ok. I will. Just promise me u'll at least try and patch things up with the others before the new year starts or it's really gonna suck (even more than u do hehehe) Chris: I promise to maybe consider thinking about possibly trying... Danny: That's the best I'm getting out of u, isn't it? Chris: Totally. Gotta go. Family dinner!! Danny: Say hi to Blane for me, *wink wink* Chris: IH8U!! ***** Saturday 24 July 2021 Danny: Bonjour mon petit navet!! Rob: My little what??? Danny: Turnip! Wow, going to France and don't know the word for turnip? You're doomed! Rob: Well there go all my turnip-related plans. Hey Danny, why are we talking about turnips? Danny: Because it's more fun than talking about the other stuff!! Rob: Ha. Going well then, is it? Danny: Chris is fine... until I try to talk about anyone else then he just shuts down. James just says he's not in our dorm any more so he's not our problem. And Mikey... I dunno, I think being back with his family is really messing him up cos he seems to be getting angrier more every day. And I just really need a hug but it's still a week til Brian comes to stay! :( Rob: I'm sending you virtual hugs!! Things aren't much better on my side. Josh is pretty much in denial about the whole thing and won't talk about it, except for calling Nicky... very mean things. Nicky just doesn't wanna talk cos he thinks the whole dorm hates him so it's pointless and he's pissed that I'm not pissed at Josh, which I am, but I don't wanna tell him that cos then it just like... validates him being pissed at Josh. And David just hasn't even replied to any of my messages. Danny: U remember when I called u `the only other sane one' in the dorm? Really feeling that today!!!!! Rob: I know right! Danny: Anyway, excited for le pays des navets? (That's The Land of Turnips to save u googling) Rob: Tell me again about how you're one of the sane ones... Danny: I'm not insane, just... quirky! Anyway, gonna miss ur boyfriend? Rob: Nah, me and Luke can still chat while I'm away! Danny: I meant ur OTHER boyfriend *wink wink* Rob: Haha funny. Jazz is NOT my boyfriend! Danny: Not yet... hehe. Just wait til he's in the next bunk, u'll be dating him too in no time! Rob: Yeah, that's not happening. Danny: Pfft, I said I wasn't dating and look at me now! It'll happen!!! Rob: I meant the sleeping on the next bunk is what's not happening. Jazz got his induction info and apparently it says he'll be in dorm 1.10. Danny: And what one are we in? I didn't check! Rob: We're going into 1.09, so Jazz is gonna be next door. Danny: So that means James'ses's spot is being taken by some total rando. Oh great, that'll totally help with all the weirdness in the dorm! Also, sorry u don't get to shack up with ur new boy toy! Rob: Shack up? Danny: Something my dad says. He's weird. Oh my God, wait, this actually MIGHT help with the weirdness. I'm switching back to the group chat!! ***** [Danny added 6 members to the group] Danny: Big news guys. Jazz is going to dorm 1.10... which isn't our dorm, which is gonna be 1.09 which I totally read for myself and didn't have to ask Rob. That means we're getting some weirdo stranger in the dorm. This is HUGE! [David left the group] Danny: Oh come on. [Mikey left the group] Danny: Guys. Please!!! Nicky: Sorry Danny. Thanks for the info. [Nicky left the group] [Josh left the group] James: Seriously, pigeons learn faster... [James left the group] Chris: Well that went well... [Chris left the group] Rob: It was a nice idea! Danny: Those guys suck. Oh well, have fun in Turnipland. Rob: You're a very strange creature. Speak soon. Have fun with your fiancι! Danny: Danny has left the chat... LOL ***** Monday 9 August 2021 Rob: Salut toi petit pervers fou Danny: If I google that, am I going to be offended? Rob: That really depends if you find being called a pervert offensive! Danny: Oh, no then. Sweet. Also, hi. Back safely then? Rob: No... I died on the way! Ooooooooh, I'm a ghost! Danny: Great, Jazz can take ur spot in the dorm then. Can never too many cute roommates! Rob: You think Jazz is cute? Danny: I think everybody's cute! LOLOLOLOL Rob: Fair point. How's things going with the hubby? Danny: Shut up, titface. But things with my BOYFRIEND are good... now! OMG, the journey home when we picked him up!! I MIGHT not have mentioned Brian's age before and Dad was a bit shocked. He just assumed Brian was in our Year. He gave him a proper grilling in the car! Rob: And he survived???? Danny: Brian turned on the charm. But things got... weird. My Dad started asking us if we were actively sexual or something! I could have died!! Rob: I think the term is sexually active! Danny: That's it. Yeah. Then he was talking about safe sex and condoms and he said he left condoms on my bed and OMFG, total cringe! Rob: Sounds about as fun as getting caught having a video call wank with Luke... Danny: OMG, who caught u??? Rob: My mum. She still can't look at me. I think she was more embarrassed than we were!! I seriously cannot wait to get back to Kingswood! Danny: Yeah, at least there anyone who catches u is probably just gonna join in LOL. Rob: On the bright side, it gave Nicky and Josh a laugh when I got them talking... Danny: You got them to talk?!?!?!?! WTF!? HOW?!?!? Rob: Wow, go easy on the punctuation. Save some for the rest of us. Anyway, we'd just finished at the War Museum when I got an idea. Danny: Eww, I didn't know it was gonna be a `museum' type of holiday. I was picturing beaches and guys in skimpy swimwear!! Rob: Danny, you're ALWAYS picturing stuff like that... Danny: Ha. True! Rob: Anyway, long story short. Got them in a group chat, started talking to them, totally embarrassed myself by telling them the wanking story, but it got them talking (laughing at me). Nicky apologised for calling Josh a bully. Josh apologised for getting `revenge' on Angel behind Nicky's back. Josh kinda opened up a bit and said he just gets really angry when he thinks someone's a bully cos of all the shit he went through with his brothers. Shitty as it all is, I think it's kinda done some good. But they both seemed to accept he was sorry and it wouldn't happen again and that they don't need to hate each other, so... progress at last! Danny: Awesome!!!! Any luck with David yet? Rob: No :( Still hasn't even replied to ANY messages at all. How's everything with your lot? Danny: Chris seems... okay-ish. He still just wont talk to me about it all, but I kinda get the feeling hes not `grr argh' kind of angry any more with Nicky and Mikey. Its more like hes just `doesnt want to hang out with them' kind of angry. Rob: Oh, that's good. It's not like they'll ever see each other LIVING IN THE SAME ROOM?!?! Danny: IKR! But I dont think theres likely to be shouting, more just quiet avoiding. Mikeys more likely to be shouty, but that seems like its aimed at everyone EXCEPT Chris, so... lucky us! Rob: And James? Danny: Sticking to the same thing. Saying he's gone from our dorm so we can just leave him alone. I'm kinda starting to think he has a point!!! Rob: Well this is... good I suppose. Sounds like nobody's gonna be at each other's throats when we go back. Danny: Yeah but it won't be like it was before, either. Rob: Yeah, kinda feels that way. Oh well, you feeling better now you've got easier access to hugs? (and other things hehe) Danny: Totally! I love having Brian here. He says hi btw Rob: Tell him I said hi back. You're lucky, I really miss Luke (and before you say it, yes, I miss Jazz too... shut up!) Danny: Haha u know me too well Rob: Danny, I know we both might be busy with everything else we've got going on, so time might be a problem, but do you think we might be able to hang out more this year? Danny: I'd like that :D <3 Rob: Great, me too. Maybe we can have a look at our schedules once we're back and even have a regular thing? Danny: *gasp* Like a friend date? Ur cheating on Josh? LMAOOOOO Rob: Yeah, don't tell him! Haha j/k You're just fun to hang out with Danny: You're totally thinking of when we jerked off together, aren't u? Rob: ... no *innocent whistle* Danny: Haha cute. Anyway tell me more about Turnipland. Were the guys hot? :D ***** Friday 27 August 2021 [Danny added 5 members to the group] Danny: Okay, before u all storm out again, I'm not gonna try and make u all talk, but u know we need a group chat for once we're back just for staying in touch and arranging shit, so if u could all just stay this time it'd be great. Danny: Ok five minutes and nobody's left. This is good. Anyway looking forward to seeing u all on Sunday. Danny: Oh yeah, I know I said I wouldn't make u all talk, but u can at least read and this might give some of u a laugh. I'm staying at Brian's place at the moment and last night he dared me to walk out into the street in the middle of the night and jerk off, which I did... cos I'm me! Anyway, I do it and then freak out right after cos suddenly it's like... I'm not horny anymore, I'm covered in spunk and I'm laying naked on a road so I get up and run back to the house, but I tripped over and made all this noise and Brian's parents panic and come looking and they find me just as I'm heading in the door! Totally caught, stark bollock naked! OMFG!!! Josh: Fuck. What did they do? Nicky: I woulda just died! Chris: That's so hot!!!!!!!!!! Mikey: Ha, loser! Rob: The only surprising thing in this story is... none of it hahaha! Danny: Screw u all lol. They just looked at me like I was crazy and I just looked at them and said `I musta been sleepwalking!' I might have pulled it off if I hadn't popped another boner... and been covered in cum! Nicky: Dead. I would just be dead!!! Chris: That's even hotter! Mikey: You suck at excuses!!! Danny: Well I'm glad my humiliation brings u all joy. Rob: Your humiliation bringing us joy is like the basis of our whole time at Kingswood. BTW, also looking forward to Sunday!! Mikey: Losers!!! Mikey: But... me too, just to get away from the bitch and the arsehole! Danny: He means his parents, just to be clear. Mikey: Oy! You don't speak for me, perv! Josh: Ooh, is it Psycho Mikey coming back on Sunday? Excellent!! Rob: Psycho Mikey???? Mikey: NVM. And no, it's just Mike. Danny: Mike? You're missing a Y Mikey: No I'm not. I'm sick of Mikey. From now on it's just Mike and anyone who calls me Mikey gets a nut-punch. Josh: Okay Mikey... Mike: That's one you're getting! Anyone else? Rob: No, Mike. I'm good! Mike: Wow, someone who actually listens. Thanks Rob. ***** Rob: I see what you did. Totally copied my idea of getting them talking by embarrassing yourself!! Danny: Haha u noticed that? Rob: Did that even happen??? That story you told them? Danny: Well I didn't get caught ;) Rob: Again... not surprising! Did you notice no messages from David? Danny: Yeah, but he didn't leave either. That's something I suppose. Rob: True. And... Mike?!?! Danny: Ugh, I'm so used to calling him Mikey. And I know he's serious about the nut-punches, so I may need to start wearing a cup!!! Rob: Might be a good idea. But so was that chat. I know things are still a little bit off, but I kinda feel like maybe we MIGHT be okay. Danny: And then they all died... lol. Come on, u can't say stuff like that and then not expect some big disaster?!?! Rob: Oh no, I've jinxed us? Danny: Not us. Maybe u and everyone else are due a big disaster, but I've had my go. It's someone else's turn. Maybe we should take bets on it. The big disaster of Year 9, whadda u think? Rob: Hmm, I'm gonna go with... Mikey in some kind of illegal porn ring... oh wait... Danny: Or David in a hacking scandal... Rob: Mate, our dorm is a hot mess! Danny: I no. And we've still got 5 years of it too! WOOP! Rob: Ha, yup. Well here's to 5 more years at Kingswood... let's hope we all survive the experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed.
