TEN SECONDS LATER
“Why is the motherfucking audience so big?” Noah demanded of Mr Cooke.
Mr Cooke grinned.
“Oh, I thought you would have noticed ages ago,” Mr Cooke said with barely contained glee.
“It thought it would just be the Sixth Form?” Noah said.
The Five Dukes Sixth Form consisted of around two hundred boys aged between sixteen and eighteen and Noah had figured maybe 150 would actually attend. The Year 12 and Year 13 boys occupying the audience was six or seven times that number!
“It is just the Sixth Form, Noah,” Mr Cooke said innocently. “However, rehearsals were going so well and the message was so important that I suggested we extend the invitation.”
“Extended it to who?” Morys asked because Noah was too stunned to speak.
Which was quite a feat. For a nudist who had spent the whole school year totally naked to balk at the idea of being seen naked seemed irrational. However, Noah looked at it this way:
Between nine hundred and a thousand boys Noah’s own age were about to see him on stage totally naked and shaved.
“Well, there’s boys from Five Dukes obviously and from Barons Edge Comprehensive,” Mr Cooke said. “Then there’s Dukeskettle Comprehensive, Dukesbank High School, Dukeswell Academy, Dukeshead Secondary School, High Baron High School and Baron’s Lee High School.”
Almost every school in the motherfucking country!
“I don’t believe this,” Noah said.
“Dural sent invites via messenger to everyone’s phone. That was my idea,” Mr Cooke admitted.
