About This Book
Tamara and Jasyn are in love. Jasyn lives with Aunty and his brother Dane is in prison for dealing. Jasyn wants to take Tamara to the formal, but he hasn't got the cash.In a world of absent mothers and missing fathers, Mrs Petchall battles to keep another year of students out of the ranks of the vanished. The Outsiders is on the syllabus again, but instead of Socs and Greasers, this is the world of Speds and Skanks—fuelled by Red Bull and powered by iPods. It can be hard to find your own rhythm when everyone is marching to the beat of a different drum.

Around nine a.m., TAMARA waits in an inner-city laneway. She listens to music on her earphones, seems transported to another place. She is meant to be in Petchall’s classroom.
SQUID arrives.
TAMARA: You took your time. Ya bring ya paint?
SQUID: Yeah.
TAMARA: Red?
SQUID: Yeah.
TAMARA: Good. Clash with her house. Teach her a lesson.
SQUID: What did she do?
TAMARA: Told ya. She rang the school ’n’ dobbed on us for jigging.
This’ll shut her up.
Do it. Like I said. Come on.
SQUID: Keep watch.
SQUID begins spraying ‘DOG POUND’ on the fence.
TAMARA: I am. Hurry up.
See her face when she comes out and finds this on her precious pink cement.
Don’t spell it wrong.
Concentrate! Finish it. Go on.
Fuck!
SQUID: What?
TAMARA: She’s in there.
SQUID: She’s not.
TAMARA: Blinds moved in the front window.
SQUID ducks down, hides.
A bell rings in the distance.
Got ya.
PETCHALL: Move in quietly. You all know the rules, so show some manners.
Get them out of your ears. Now. Out. Earphones out.
How many times have I said this to you all?

SQUID: We going or what?
PETCHALL: Honestly your ears’ll turn to/
SQUID: What are you looking at me like that for? Going to class. Delete that pic or I’m dead.
SQUID leaves.
PETCHALL: If I see an earphone I will snip it. If any iPods make their way out, I will confiscate them.
I don’t care about your rights or what your parents say.
A plane passes above.
TAMARA: Didn’t think much of him at first looks a bit mean not like other guys I like bit mean tough but hot but something wrong something going on inside his head seeping out something strange not sick but weird then one day I see him and he looks different something nicer—dunno maybe he’s just looking up ’stead of looking down. He smiles. That’s what it is. He smiles at me.
SQUID returns.
SQUID: Rowney’s at the end of the lane.
TAMARA: Late notes?
SQUID: Giving shit about uniforms.
TAMARA: Did he see you?
SQUID: Na.
