Today was the day Leela was going to get the results about her daughter Peri, hopefully this would explain her behaviour and why she hasn't been coping very well. Peri came down stairs ready for school and ate her toast that Tegan had made. Chardonnay-Alesha knocked for Peri with Tom, Nico and Carla.
"Would you like any toast, Tegan can make it", Peri asked.
"No thank you", Tom said followed by everyone else.
Peri shrugged and ate the last piece of her toast and then picked up her school bag and left with her friends. Tegan could see Leela was worried about Peri. She put Rose down to play and then spoke to her sister. The post came and Leela walked over picked it up and flicked through it to find the one she wanted. She found the results and shut her eyes. Tegan nodded at her to open in. Leela took a deep breath and opened the letter and read it.
"Well", Tegan asked.
"She has asperger syndrome", Leela replied.
Leela started to cry and Rose looked up at her auntie and then to her mum. Tegan hugged Leela and calmed her down. Leela wiped her eyes and went to sit with Tegan.
"How will she take it", Leela asked.
"Not sure", Tegan replied.
"Will Carla, Chardonnay-Alesha, Nico and Tom still want to be her friends", Leela asked.
"They're idiots if they don't", Tegan replied.
The day quickly ended and Peri came straight home. Leela looked at Tegan and Peri knew something was up. She walked over to Leela and Tegan where Leela made her sit down.
"What is it, is it Ste", Peri asked.
"No, Ste is fine", Leela replied.
"Then what is it", Peri asked.
"You have been diagnosed with a form of autism called asperger syndrome", Leela said.
Peri just looked at Leela, she was worried what the other kids would think if they found out at school. Leela hugged Peri and Tegan just watched. As the news sunk in Peri walked out.
"Peri", Leela said.
It was too late Peri had already left.
