I'm going to try and get another chapter out today, I'm sure I can manage it, enjoy thanks for your reviews.

In light of what had happened with the money for the kits and the uproar it had caused amongst the people who had bought tickets for the main raffle, the football team were eventually disbanded and Janeece and Maxine spent two weeks in after school detentions. The kits were dry cleaned and sent back and the other donations were given back. Weslie's father was surprised to be given his money back, but was disappointed that it had been for nothing.

Though she had enjoyed being on the team, and spending time with all the girls, just having fun, Weslie wasn't too upset when the team had been disbanded. She hadn't really been too fussed about joining in the first place and had only done it to prove she could, and though she did miss spending time with all the other girls, she didn't miss it that much.

But as usual at Waterloo Road there was always something happening and something to talk about, so she didn't find she had too much time on her hands.

……

When Weslie walked out of her Art lesson one Thursday morning, there was an usual atmosphere in the corridors. There was an excited chatter about the place, students were huddled in groups together, discussing something eagerly; something was going on.

'What's going on?' she asked, turning around to look at the boys behind her, both of whom looked just as confused as she was.

Bolton shook his head 'No idea, maybe Masons sacked Budgen or something?' he suggested hopefully, his friends laughed.

'I don't think we'd ever get that lucky mate' Paul said regretfully.

'I don't know' Weslie chipped in as they walked down the stairs together 'I quite like having the miserable old get around. We'd be a lot less entertained if he weren't here'

Bolton snorted 'Speak for yourself man'

She opened her mouth to respond but was interrupted as Janeece and Maxine came walking towards them with that look on their faces that everyone in the entire school knew to mean they had something to gossip about.

'You won't believe it!' Maxine said with a smirk on her face as they came to a halt in front of them 'Chlo's cheated on Donte!'

All three jaws dropped 'No way!' Weslie exclaimed, she certainly hadn't seen that one coming 'with who?'

'Brett Aspinall' Janeece said, looking less than impressed and slightly less excited than Maxine.

Weslie gasped and Bolton asked 'Isn't he seeing Mika though?' it was common knowledge Brett was dating Chlo's older sister Mika.

'Exactly' Janeece said, arms folded firmly across her chest 'make it worse dun't it? Her sister's boyfriend an all' she looked disgusted by the whole thing.

'How do you know?' Weslie asked, to which Janeece replied 'heard Chlo and Donte arguing about it before' She was surprised, Donte hadn't been seen around the school for days since he and Chlo had fallen out.

'Does Mika know?' Paul asked

'Don't think so, but it won't be long before she finds out, half the school's know something's up with Chlo and Donte, he smashed Lawsons' car up this morning' Janeece said.

The boys both laughed, and Weslie gasped 'Holy shit! What did Lawson do?'

'He went mad' Maxine said 'dragged him up to Masons office, not seen him since' she said, shrugging her shoulders as she and Janeece walked away.

'Wow' Weslie said as they started to walk again 'Poor Mika, that's gonna kill her'

'It's awful that is, to her own sister' Paul said, shaking his head.

'With Brett Aspinall too' Weslie said 'No thank you'

Bolton laughed aloud 'You wouldn't go there with Aspinall Wes?' he asked, nudging her with his elbow.

She gave him a look 'Definitely not, he's so far up his own arse he could tell you how the inside of his ribs look, complete dickhead' Paul laughed loudly.

Bolton smirked and slipped his arm over her shoulder 'You like modest men then? Like yours truly?' he said with a proud smile.

She laughed and picked his arm up by the wrist, moving it from around her and dropping it by his side and said 'not even if your life depended on it Smilie' with a wink 'and you are definitely not modest'

Paul started to laugh, earning him a punch on the arm from his taller friend 'Yeah Bolton, your head's almost as big as Aspinall's already, you wanna keep an eye on it' Bolton frowned and followed his laughing friends outside.

……

The subject of Chlo and Brett didn't die down throughout the day, and was still being talked about in hushed tones for the rest of the morning. Weslie was sitting beside Paul at the back of their Geography lesson in their period before lunch, and the two were still talking about it.

'What about you? What would you do if one of your sisters slept with your boyfriend?' he asked, watching her spinning a pen between her fingers.

'I don't know' she said honestly, she was thinking about it, staring straight ahead of her at the information on the board, not really taking it in 'I don't know if I could forgive any of them, but I don't think they'd do that to me' it occurred to her that Mika hadn't though Chlo would ever do something like that to her either, and yet here they were.

'What about the boyfriend, if you've got one?' he asked.

She looked at him and smiled 'I don't have one, but cheating would definitely mean the end if I did have one' she said. Paul smiled at her 'Oh' she added, raising her hand and brushing something out of his hair 'you've got fluff in your hair' Paul blushed slightly and grinned, avoiding her gaze. He reached up and took hold of her hand was she as lowering it, his fingers and palm covering the back of her hand, he smiled at her for a second, then let go. She watched his face for a moment, almost studying him, then turned away. Her cheeks were tinted a pale rose as she smiled to herself.

'What about you?' she asked after a moment, breaking the odd silence between them 'Could you forgive a cheat?'

He looked up at her again, thankful she had ended the silence and shook his head 'I don't think so, I can't stand cheats, it's stupid' She smiled, pleasantly surprised, he didn't seem all that much the typical teen male she had perhaps thought he was.

......

They met up with Bolton for lunch after their Geography lesson and sat together at the back of the canteen, enjoying the Sheppard's Pie Candeece, who also happened to be Bolton's mother, had cooked. Lunchtime went by incident free for the most part, until they were making their way to their next lesson.

Down the other end of the corridor and through the doors, they could hear noise and see a large crowd of people gathered round something 'what's going on?' Paul asked as they sped up to find out what was happening.

Bolton pushed the door open and they joined the crowd, who were circled around an open space, and in the middle were Chlo and Mika Granger, fighting.

'No way man!' Bolton exclaimed, excited 'girl fight!' Paul laughed and they watched eagerly. A second later Tom Clarkson came flying down the stairs, followed by Janeece, he grabbed Mika and pulled her away from her sister.

'Hey! Pack it in, both of you!' he cried as she dragged Mika backwards.

'She slept with Brett!' she screamed angrily.

'I guess she knows then' Weslie said, growing bored with the whole thing whilst the two girls and Mr Clarkson argued in the middle of the circle, Mika calling out that she hadn't been around for Chlo to tell her because she had been with Brett and he had been dumping her.

'I never, want to see you again!' Mika said viciously to her sister after picking her things up 'so don't ever come home, ever' she turned and walked away. Chlo looked around for a moment, then ran away up the stairs.

'Come on' Weslie said, tugging on Paul's arm 'Let's get out of here' she felt sick, this was a family problem and they had no right to interfere. The look on the faces of both the girls had been awful and she prayed that she would never look at her sisters that way.
