Will drove into the school car park and into the drop off zone, to find one of his daughters standing waiting for him; she had an umbrella up to protect her from the light rain shower that had just started.

Rachel opened the car door and jumped into the front seat and pulled her seat belt on.

"Hi Dad" she said as she leaned over and gave him a kiss.

"Where is Lucy?" Will asked

"I don't know, she went to Orchestra, but she didn't meet me here"

Will took his cell phone out and dialled Lucy's number.

"Hi Lucy, I'm outside the school are you ready to go home?" Will asked

"I didn't know you were coming Dad, I took the bus like I agreed with Mum this morning" Lucy stated, there was no way she could tell him a boy was driving her home.

"OK, well I will see you at home" Will said before putting the car into drive and driving off.

"So how was School sweetie?" Will asked

Rachel knew she had 2 choices, to tell her Dad the truth just now, or to wait till she got home and work out a plan with Lucy.

"OK, Dad, did you see Ben today, Abbey said he was coming into your office"

"I didn't speak to him; Your Mother decided that it would be better for Auntie Diane and one of our associates to deal with his case"

"Oh, but do you know what happened?"

"No, and even if I did, I couldn't tell you, we have something called attorney client privilege." Will explained

"Dad, I really like Ben, he isn't a bad guy, and we just wanted to have some fun"

"Rach, he is 18 years old, you have only just turned 15, and you have to understand that we worry about you"

"So, can I go out with him again, when I'm not grounded I mean"

"Let me talk to your Mother, but Rach, I don't want you dating until your 16. Can you just wait a year?"

"What difference does it make if I wait a year or not"

"Because I'm not ready yet, you have to try and give your Mum and I some time to get used to you growing up"

"Dad, I'll always be your little girl, promise" Rachel said as Will smiled at her. No matter how angry he was at Rachel, she would always be his little girl and she always made him smile.

…

"Thank you for the ride" Lucy said as she grabbed her bag from the floor.

"Can I get your number?" Mike asked as he handed his phone over to Lucy, Lucy took hers out of her back pocket and handed her over to Mike, once the numbers were in, Lucy got out of the car and walked up the driveway, Mike drove off back to his own house. Lucy was just thankful that he got there and away before her Dad arrived home.

Lucy went into the house and called her Mum from the house phone.

"Hay Mum, I'm home, I got the bus"

"Did Dad not pick you up?" Alicia asked

"No, I didn't know he was coming and got the bus. Zach is playing his computer and Grace and Katie are just home" Lucy said as her youngest sister and their nanny just came through the door.

"OK Sweetie, I'll be home soon to make Dinner and your Dad and sister shouldn't be long, why don't you go make a start on your homework" Alicia suggested. Lucy hung up and went into her room to start on her homework.

….

Will and Rachel got home, Rachel ran upstairs straight to her sisters room without saying hello to her brother or sister. She threw the door opened and flopped on the bed.

"So what are we going to do?" Rachel asked as she lay back with her feet over the edge of the bed.

"We have to tell Mum and Dad, get them to sign the letter" Lucy said sensibly as she turned round from her desk to face her sister.

"No, we should just fake sign it ourselves" Rachel suggested.

"No, look we are in enough trouble as it is, don't you think Mum and Dad will find out we got F's and then we will have some explaining to do" Lucy said, she had moved off of the desk and lay on the bed next to her twin, her legs also over the side of the edge.

"Look, lets just go talk to Dad just now, get it over with" Lucy suggested. "The quicker we do it the better"

"Please Lucy, can't we just try and lie our way out of it"

"Let me think about it until Mum gets home" Lucy said. "But at least if we are both grounded we will have each other"

"Yeah, at least we won't be alone" Rachel agreed.

"Rach, I met a boy today, I really like him, he gave me a ride home, and I didn't take a bus"

"Ohhh, you're turning into such a rebel, what's his name? Is he hot?

"His name is Mike and he is really hot, he is older, a junior he only lives like 3 blocks away. Oh Lucy he is so cute, he asked for my number" Lucy grabbed a pillow and hugged it tight. "I really like him"

"Well even more reason to not tell Mum and Dad, you don't want to be grounded when you can go on a hot date"

Lucy didn't know what came over her, but she suddenly agreed with her sister, and they quickly faked their parent's signatures on the letters and stuffed them back into their backpacks. This rebellion felt great for Lucy, for the first time in her life she felt truly alive.
