Lolas Pov

I was sat in class, stairing at the black board. I had finally given in and decidded to go to school, though all i could think about was my dad's treatment. I watched the clock as it ticked away slowly.

I let out a frustarted Growl, catching the teacher's attention. "Lola is there somewhere, you would rather be instead"

I looked at her muttering a "Yes" before back tracking and saying "No"

The history teacher nodded, just as the Bell rang, signaling us to go home. I stood up, packing my stuff away.

"Ok remeber everyone, you're History Homework, is meant to be due in today" She said as everyone started lining up, to give her there homework.

I let out a gasp, as i rememberd i hadn't done my homework and it was at home under my pillow.

I looked around, wondering if i could cause a distraction.

"Lola, You're homework" Asked the teacher, putting her hand out.

"You see Mrs Duff, i don't have my homework with me" I said, closing my eye's waiting for a blow.

"I see, Lola is there problem's at home"

I opened my eye's and realised i was still alive, i let out a sigh and nodded.

"Ok, would you like to tell me what's wrong" She asked.

"My Dad's got Cancer, My ex Boyfriend is in a jail cell and my mum's Pregnant, she wakes up to puke every night, it's disgusting" I said honestly.

The teacher smiled at me, which i thought was very odd.

"You're Last name's Mitchell" she said and i nodded. "I have alway's meant to ask you about you're name, I have ony been teaching here a few month's, but i remember year's ago i used to teach here as well, What's you're dad's name, are you related to Joshua Mitchel"

I let out a laugh "Me and Joshua are Adoptive Cousin's, i think that's how ill put it" I said

Mrs Duff tilted her head in confusion.

"My Dad was adopted by the Mitchell clan When he was younger his name was Jay Brown and my mum's name was Abi Branning" I said

Mrs Duff let out a gasp, then smiled. "Yes i taught both you're parents" she said with a surprising tone in her voice.

I smiled and sat down on a chair beside her. "What were they like in school" I asked

"Well you're mother, i remember her very well, she was top of history. Then again she was top of all her classe's. She would come into school, with her hair up in a bobble and her school clothe's neat. She would then sit down and get on with her work" Smiled Mrs Duff. " She was my favourite Student, Though don't tell anyone i said that"

I nodded and laughed.

"You're dad on the other hand, what a hand full. I can't beileve there married. Well you know what they say, opposite's attract" she smiled.

"You know i remember, you're dad, constantly in detention. He was brave enough to talk back to teacher's, he never did his homework and he was often moody"

I frowned at that. "He's not moody now, Did you teach Uncle Ben and Aunt Lola" i asked

Mrs Duff looked at me. "What Ben Mitchell and Lola Pearce" she asked shocked "There married too"

"Yeah there Joshua's Parent's"

"I didn't know his mother was Lola" she said surprised then nodded "Yes i taught them"

"Ben would often sit beside you're mother, while Lola would sit at the very back on her own. She was a handful aswell, she would constantly cause trouble, but what can you exspect growing up in a kid's home" sighed Mrs Duff.

I nodded as she continued. "Ben was good, he never spoke out of term, then he went to the juvenile Detention Centre" she shook her head. "And poor Abi was on her own, though she never complained, then one day, her and Lola began to speak. They walked into class together, like the best of friend's" Admitted Mrs Duff. "Then i found out, she was out of care and was being looked after by her Grandfather Billy Mitchell"

I nodded, i knew Billy. He was realy nice to me.

"So Lola and Abi were living on the same street, I let Abi and Lola sit together. I think you're mother changed her or something, because Lola wasn't a handful as she used to be, there was only the odd occasion when i think she got bored, that she would speak out of term"

This teacher was slowly becoming my favourite teacher.

"Then Ben came back, he walked in with Lola and Abi and they sat down together, he was different to, but not personality wise, his face was a little different, but he was still the silent type in school" Mrs Duff looked at the clock and sighed. "You better go"

I nodded and stood up, swinging my bag over my shoulder.

"I want that homework in first thing tomorrow morning"

I smiled and left the classroom. I walked onto the playground and made a disgusted face, toward's Pat and Joshua, making out.

"Oh that is Rank" i said, as they pulled apart.

"Tommy's over there, he want's to see you" Said Joshua as he went back to kissing Pat.

I frowned at them and looked over at Tommy who was stood by the gate's. I ran over towards him and gave him a breif hug.

"Hey what are you doing here" I asked as i pulled away from him.

"I heard you were having to walk home, so i thought i would walk you home" He said.

I smiled at him, as we began to walk down the sidewall, In a awkward silence.

"So listen there is something i need to tell you" he seemed to hesitate as i stopped and looked at him.

"Yes"

"Well the thing is" he stopped and looked around before looking me in the eyes. "I like you, like you"

I looked at him in shock. He liked me, liked me, i couldn't beileve it.

We were in silence for about two minute's, till i suddenly said "Ask me out then"

He smiled. "Lola will you go out with me"

I blushed "Ok, pick me up outside my house at 6" I said as we walked home.

"Sound's good to me"

"First where are we going, i don't want to dress too casual if we were going to some place Fancy and i don't want to dress all Fancy if we are only going for a bag of chip's" I said honestly.

"Dress casual, we are going to the cafe"

I looked at him oddly.

"Hey it's a good place for a first date" he grinned.

"Suppose so" I smiled as we enterd Albert Square.
