Chapter 2: The Kids Part 2

"What!" Simon screeched loudly "Why"

"You know why" Helga said angrily "You were mistreating your brother"

"But mom…!" Simon said ready to complain.

"No buts, you are to spend the next two weeks in your room you can't leave unless it's for school or meals or to use the bathroom, you are to have no computer no friends and especially no phone, and no complaining this is the 3rd time this week you have started a fight with your brother." Helga said her eyes blazing. Simon widened his eyes but eventually decided to glare outside angrily. Helga then turned her gaze to Phil.

"Phil you are grounded for 1 week same conditions" Helga said her tone still disapproving but slightly softer since she knew that Phil felt guilty.

"Yes mom" Phil said still looking down sadly. Then he looked up at Simon. "I'm sorry Simon I should not have retaliated"

Simon fought the urge to roll his eyes and apologized for his behavior his tone was much less sincere but Phil appreciated all the same.

Helga smiled slightly. Those two are exactly like me and Football head. She and her two youngest said absolutely nothing in the tension filled car for the rest of the ride.

"So what happened at your house this morning?" Rachel asked curiously looking at her best male friend.

Derek's expression never changed but Rachel noticed his knuckles on the steering wheel turning white.

"Nothing"

"Yeah right" Rachel said her eyes rolling.

"It's true"

"No you would not have looked at me the way you do this morning if something hadn't happened. what happened?"

"My dad and I had a fight this morning" Derek relented angrily. "That's all"

"Ahh" Rachel said automatically knowing what the fight was about. "Your grades and career choice again?"

Derek sighed "Yup, I've tried telling him that this is my choice but he won't listen"

"Have you ever thought meeting him halfway?" Rachel asked him politely.

Derek looked at her curiously. "What do you mean?"

"You know still get good grades and at least think about a new career choice while at least trying to get your father to understand that this is what you want."

By this time they were at school. Rachel and Derek carefully got out of the car. Rachel slung her bag and on her shoulder and walked inside to meet their other best friend, Sophronia, the daughter of Gerald and Phoebe Johansson. She had the knowledge of her mother but the story telling abilities of her father.

"Hey Sophie what's up" When they started High school Sophronia had bribed, begged and threatened to have every call her Sophie.

"Nothing much" Sophie said her hands filled with books. "Mom is still kinda disappointed that I am only taking three AP courses instead of 4 but …"

"She's still on you about that?" Rachel asked. "It's been two months since semester started and you need that spare." Derek nodded his eyes widening slightly.

"That's what I said" Sophie said rolling her eyes "but what about you"

Rachel shrugged "Nothing much" It was true her morning had basically been her writing in her journal/ lyric book before she caught sight of the time and frantically hurried to get dressed. "I just spent the morning righting lyrics for…" but her tone was cut off as she realized the time "I got to get to my locker see you in class, Derek" To Sophie she said "See you at lunch" and she hurried off.

"Bye" Sophie and Derek said laughing slightly at their best friend.

"Here's your school." Helga said her tone less angry, and feeling slightly guilty even if she had no reason to be. "I love you remember that" she told the pair of them sincerely.

"I know, Mom." Phil said grinning cheekily.

"Kiss up" Simon muttered angrily. Phil eyes saddened slightly before he saw his best friend and ran to see him.

"Simon that was uncalled for" Helga said sharply to Simon, but Simon just shrugged at Helga before grudgingly waving good bye to him.

Helga gave up and just decided to drive off.

Simon then turned away his glare not lessening until he found his own best friend. Andrew Sullivan. He had Brown hair green eyes his hair long to past his chin which sometimes made people confusing him for a girl.

"Hey Simon what's up" His best friend asked.

"Nothing I'm just grounded" His best friend eyes widened.

"You were bugging Phil again weren't you." His brown haired green eyed friend said.

"So?" At the look Andrew gave him Simon sighed before nodding. Andrew rolled his eyes at his friend before they both decided to go to their sixth class.

"I don't get it Sam" Phil said "He's always bugging me"

"Maybe he's jealous"

"Of what"

"His sister who is the eldest and the only girl and you the youngest and the goody two-shoes" Sam said knowingly.

"Yeah you're probably right" Phil said sadly. "But that's not my fault and I am not going to change just because it makes Simon angry"

Just then the bell rang and the two 4th graders went to their class

Ok That's Chapter 2 hope you like it as usual review.
