Rachel was furious, she had never been so angry at her son before, she was confused as to why he had missed detention.

"Can I please have a word with Jake please" Rachel said to the teacher, who nodded, Jake stood up, ready to walk out of the class.

"Collect your things please" Rachel said to her son, who put his books and pencil case back into his bag, and followed his mother out, whilst smiling and Beccy,

"Mum, I can explain?" Jake started to say, but Rachel, cut him off before he had a chance to.

"I don't want to hear it Jake, I'm fed up of lies and deceit" Rachel said. Jake was embarrassed, Rachel was starting to shout, and there were older kids in the corridor, including his stepsister.

"Girl's, shouldn't you be in class" Rachel shouted over to them, as Sam, Lauren, Sarah, Amy and Siobhan left.

They arrived at Rachel's office, and Jake, went in, the scene was one he was getting to know very well, he was missing detention and Rachel was giving him another, but what would she do this time.

"Do you want to explain, what went on today?"

Jake sat in silence, how could he explain it to his Mother.

"Well?" Rachel said louder .

"I forgot" he said quietly "I didn't mean to forget, I just did"

"That is a lie, isn't it?"

Jake still sat in silence, nothing he could say would make it better.

"Isn't it" Rachel shouted, she had of course spoken to Eddie, who had told her that he had gone to see Beccy at lunch.

"Yes, but it's not like a bad lie"

"So, where were you?"

"I met Beccy, we were down in the lane"

"we will discuss that later, but for now, you can spend the rest of the day in the cooler, that way you won't accidentally miss your detention"

Jake nodded, he knew his Dad would go mental at him later as well, but for now, he just wanted to get out of his Mum's office. He stood up and walked towards the door, after turning the handle, he turned back when he heard his Mum talk.

"Jake, can I trust you to make your own way there, or do I need to escort you?"

"I'm sure I can manage" he replied.

"You had better" Rachel said as she watched her eldest son disappear out of the door.
