The next morning Amanda sat at the kitchen table eating her breakfast well she played with Nicky on the table. Scott walked into the kitchen and seen her with the cat, she had locked herself in her room all night along with the cat leaving Scott completely clueless about anything.

"Are you sure this cat doesn't have any other owners?"asked Scott.

"Yeah, well if he does and they let him be in the condition I found him in they're retards and don't deserve a cat,"said Amanda before shoving a spoonful of cereal in her mouth.

"Well if we have a cat you will have to take care of it completely,"said Scott.

"Yes Daddy,"said Amanda. Scott poured himself a cup of coffee and toasted a bagel, he looked at Amanda from her back. She looked like a ten year old girl almost playing with her kitten in a carefree world, but she wasn't. When Scott thought of it this girl had been through a lot over the last few months, she was kicked out of her house, gained a father and had her life shifted into a new enviroment. He sighed then started on gathering up his stuff for the day.

Amanda walked through the parking lot of Boston public, Scott walked in front of her as she dragged behind. Her short black skirt she wore bounced under her leather jacket as she walked. Kicking a stone across the wet parking lot ground she seen Harry getting out of his car and looking over at her. Amanda looked over at him with an empty stare as he just stood there. Once she was past his car Amanda turned her head and walked into the building.

"Are you going to need a ride home today?"asked Scott.

"No, Tyler's gonna give me one,"said Amanda as they walked down the hall.

"AJ, I'd rather you'd get a ride with me,"said Scott.

"Dad I'll be fine,"said Amanda escaping up a set of stairs to her locker.

Once she was up and out of sight she walked down the hall to her locker as the bell rang. Sighing she grabbed her books out of her locker and slammed it shut then headed to Ronnie's class.

At lunch Amanda was out in the parking lot with Tyler, she was sitting on the trunk of his car next to Harry's car. She had her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck as she pressed her lips firmly to his in a kiss that left his hands roaming her body. They were so wrapped up in each other they ignored the world around them.

Harry came out of the building with Ronnie at his side. They made small talk as they walked over to his car, Harry looked up to see Amanda and Tyler engaged in their game of tonsil hockey next to his car, immediately a jealous, angry, sorrful feeling came over him, at that point in time he would've given anything in the world to be Tyler.

"Does that girl hae any class?"said Ronnie disgustingly as she seen them. Harry didn't look away from them as he ignored Ronnie. Harry silently opened the trunk of his car well Ronnie stood there impatiently waiting for the two of them to notice so se could scold them. Finally she cleared her throat loudly causing to them break apart slowly, as Amanda pulled back she wiped her mouth with the top of her hand getting rid of stray lipstick and excess saliva.

"Do you know mind? There are some things the public doesn't need to be seeing,"said Ronnie sternly. Harry just dug through his trunk trying to ignore the situation as much as possible.

"Back off Ms. Cook me and my honey are just having a little clean fun,"said Tyler.

"Yeah Ms.Cook I bet if you ask Mr.Senate nicely he'll risk getting a dent in his truck and put you up there,"said Amanda smiling innocently. Harry could help but snicker silently as he tried to hide it from Ronnie.

"Pardon?"asked Ronnie.

"Ah c'mon Mr.Senate you'll revive Ms.Cook's younger years for her won't ya? Give her slug her over the head and drag her back to your cave,"said Amanda giggling herself this time.

"AJ that it enough,"said Ronnie,"Who exactly do you think you are talking to me like that?"

"She thinks she's AJ Guber unless you got knowledge otherwise,"said Tyler.

"That's it,"said Ronnie. She turned and stormed back into the school leaving Harry alone with them.

"Ya kinda pushed it there,"said Harry as he closed the trunk of his car.

"Whatever, I hate it when people think it's their business to get into my business. They tattle and shit, I bet ya she's gonna go tattle,"said Amanda bitterly. Harry stood there as her words hit him, he knew she knew he had talked to Scott.

Amanda watched as Harry picked up the box he got out of the trunk and walk back into the school. She was wrapped in Tyler's arm as she rested her head against his chest and watched Harry. 'Okay well maybe my words were just a little harsh but he shoulda kept his big mouth shut' thought Amanda biting her lip slightly.

After the last bell rung for the day Scott spotted Amanda and Tyler walking through the halls leaving for the day. He sped up and caught up with them.

"AJ I need to talk to you for a moment,"said Scott stopping them in front of the teacher's lounge.

"Sure,"said Amanda smacking on her gum.

"Ms.Cook said you and her had a confrontation in the parking lot today,"said Scott. Ronnie and Lauren Davis were walking through the halls and slowed down to a stop as they seen Scott and Amanda talking. Harry was coming down the stairs from the office when he spotted them, he stopped and watched to see who was going to win this one.

"What?"asked Amanda,"No, we talked."

"She said you made some insulting comments,"said Scott.

"No, what the hell is she talking about,"said Amanda creasing her brow.

"Well what did you say?"asked Scott.

"She made a comment about me and Tyler and I told her to mind her own business. There is nothing wrong in that,"said Amanda,"My personal life is none of her business."

She said you made a sexual reference about her and Mr.Senate then insulted her age and weight,"said Scott.

"Oh my god, Ty do you believe this? Daddy I never said that about Ms.Cook,"said Amanda defensively like she was fighting for her life.

"Okay, well I'll talk to Ms.Cook then we'll see if we can have a meeting or something and clear up this matter,"said Scott.

"Daddy, no,"whinned Amanda,"Daddy, please just tell Ms.Cook to stop minding my life and leave me alone, if we have a meeting we're only going to complicate and anger things more."

"AJ,"sighed Scott.

"Daddy please, I'm having a good time at Winslow, I don't want to wreck it,"said Amanda pleadingly,"Please." Scott looked down at the ground in thought for a moment then spoke.

"Okay, but I don't want to hear about this kind of thing happening again,"said Scott.

"You won't,"smiled Amanda sweetly before she left with Tyler.

Harry stood on the stairs laughing at the situation slightly, he had never seen someone so wrapped around someone else's finger. All Amanda had to do was pout her lip and call him Daddy and he let her away with anything. He looked over at Ronnie who was standing shocked at Scott's reaction to the whole subject, she stormed into teacher's lounge followed quickly by Lauren. Harry walked down the rest of the stairs and into the teacher's lounge. Ronnie was in there with Lauren, Danny, Harvey and Marla.

"I can't believe it, he let her off like that,"said Ronnie pacing around,"She's got him whipped down to her lap dog."

"Who?"asked Harry acting stupid to the subject.

"Who? That brat AJ,"said Ronnie,"She is rude, she's got an attitude, she walks around like she owns the place and she gets away with it because she's Scott's daughter."

"Well I dunno, she's okay when she's in my class,"said Harvey,"She almost runs the class for me, tells kids to shut up and do their work. Though she should wear more clothes."

"I want her out of my class, she talks back all the time and this is it,"said Ronnie.

"Fine get Steven to put her my class,"said Danny getting annoyed with Ronnie.
