Brian's POV.

'Come on guys your going to be late!' I yelled up the stairs

Lyndsey always took the longest to get ready.

As I walked into the kitchen I hear a bang on the stairs.

Nick decided to jump down the stairs and land in a heap at the bottom.

'What have I told you about jumping down the stairs?' I said trying not to laugh

'Yeah yeah whatever.' Nick got up and went to open the fridge

He was getting cheekier and cheekier lately.

I smacked him on the back of the head.

'Don't use that tone with me or you can forget about going out this weekend.'

'Oww' he rubbed his head and sloped off to the kitchen table.

I looked at my watch I was getting pretty pissed now.

'Lyndsey O'Conner if you don't get your ass down these stairs now, I'm going to come up there and drag you to school the way you are.' Rolling my eyes and grabbing my car keys.

Lynsdey came running down the stairs still brushing her hair.

'If Nick didn't take so long in the bathroom, I would be ready on time.' She hissed as she walked out the door in front of me.

'Baby even if you had your own bathroom, you wouldn't be ready on time!'

'Ha ha funny dad! Don't forget I've got cheer leading practice after school so I'll be late home. I'm going to get a lift from Kayleigh's mum.'

'Are you still coming to the garage after school nick?'

'Yeah I suppose' he sighed

He was still pissed off that I had told him off earlier.

'What's up misery guts?' Lyndsey poked him in the ribs

'Fuck off.' He punched her in the arm.

I screeched the car over to the side of the road and got out. I opened the back door and pulled Nick out by the arm.

'What the hell is wrong with you? What's with the attitude? ' I yelled, getting right in his face.

He shrugged his shoulders and turned his head away from me.

I still had hold of his arm and tugged it so he would face me.

'She shouldn't piss me off should she?' he spat at me and tried to break his arm free.

I tightened my grip.

'Are you going to punch me if I piss you off?'

On hearing this Lyndsey got out of the car

'Dad just leave it I'm ok.'

'Get back in the car and stay out of it.' I yelled

'Come straight back to the garage after school and I'll deal with you then, now get back in the car and don't say a word.' We got back in and I sped off.

There was silence for the rest of the journey.

I dropped them off at school and drove to the garage.

'Hey Bri, how's it going?' Suki asked, looking up from under a bonnet.

'Don't ask, I need to go and chill out.'

I wandered into the back office and collapsed on the battered old sofa, Rome was sat at the desk doing some paper work.

'What's up dude?' Rome asked

'Kids. What else?' I sighed

'I'll leave you alone you look like you need some peace and quiet.'

'Thanks dude'

'Don't thank me yet, you can finish off thee paper work.' He laughed and walked away

I sat back and took a huge sigh.

Lyndsey's POV:

I was sat in my 1st lesson day dreaming, when Kayleigh tapped me on the arm

'Hey Lyns. What's the answer to number 12?' she whispered

'Girl, why didn't you do your home work?'

'No I was out on a date with tom.' She giggled

I held my book up over my shoulder and pointed to the answer.

Just then my history teacher Mr Miles turned round and caught me.

'Miss O'Conner, Miss Ashman, please stay behind after class'

'Great' I groaned to myself

10 minutes later the class emptied out. Me and Kayleigh stayed in our seats.

Mr Miles sat on the desk in front of us.

'Would you like to tell me why you were holding your book up for Kayleigh?' he stared straight at me.

I didn't say anything.

'It was my fault Mr. Miles. I didn't do my homework and asked Lyndsey the answer'

I was quite relieved that Kayleigh owned up. My dad would have killed me if he found out about this.

'Right at least we are getting to the bottom of this.' Mr Miles sighed

'Kayleigh, you've had a whole week to do your homework. I'm going to phone your mother and suggest she makes sure you plan your time better and you're on detention all next week.'

'And Lyndsey' I took a deep breath

'I'm going to phone your father just to make him aware of this incident.'

My heart sank; I was going to be in so much trouble!

'Mr. Miles, you don't need to do that, I'll tell him.' I stammered

'I don't think so Lyndsey. Now you're both dismissed.

I sulked through the next couple of lessons up til lunch.

'Hey Lyns sorry about this morning' nick scooted into the seat next to me in the dinning hall.

'Don't worry, but u pissed dad off, whats up with you anyway?'

'Nothing really I've just been a bit fed up lately, dads always getting at me for little things!'

'what's up with you anyway, I saw you earlier on the way to second lesson and you looked in a daze!'

'Oh god yeah. Me and Kayleigh were caught cheating in first lesson. Mr. Miles said he's going to ring dad and tell him!'

'Oh I see. He's gonna be so pissed off with both of us, kind of takes the spotlight off of me, thanks sis!' he patted my head and walked off whistling.

Brian's POV:

'Thanks for letting me know Mr Miles. I'll speak to her when she gets home.' I put the phone down and walked out into the garage.

'Who was that B?' Tej asked

'One of Lyndsey's teachers, her and her mate were caught cheating in class'

'Man we used to do that all the time.' Rome slapped me on the back.

I sat down in plastic chair and put my head in my hands.

'I'll speak to her when she gets home later. I've got to deal with Nick; he'll be here in ten minutes.'

Nicks POV:

'See ya later Jase. I'll call you tonight.'

I walked round the corner and saw my dad's garage. I took a deep breath.

'Here goes!'

Rome rolled out from under a car and jimmy helped him up. Suki was washing her hands whilst Tej was cursing something under the bonnet of a black skyline. I couldn't see my dad anywhere.

'Hey dude. How's it going? Cool day at school?' Rome shook my hand

'You know same shit.' I laughed

'Hey Nicky.' Suki blew me a kiss.

I blushed a bit, I've always had a bit of a crush on Suki but everyone has stopped taking the piss out of me now.

'Man what did you do to your dad this morning; he has been in a bad mood all day.' Jimmy asked

'Where is he?' I asked going quiet

'I'm here.' I heard him say as he walked out of the office

'You sorted that attitude out yet boy?' he said loudly

I walked past Rome and jimmy and followed him into the office.

'You didn't have to embarrass me like that... .'

'You're not really in a position to be telling me what to do.' He pointed to a chair.

I sat down and looked at the floor.

'You seen your sister today?' he sat on the edge of the desk in front of me.

'Yeah at lunch. I told her I was sorry about this morning.' I whispered still not looking at him.

'Good. So why'd you do it?'

I shrugged my shoulders.

'God sake nick, I knew there were sulky teenagers but this is beyond a joke! He yelled making me jump

'You're grounded for a month and you can spend the whole weekend in your room. Now get your overalls on, Tej has got some jobs for you to do.' I knew I was going to have a crap weekend.

He got up with out saying a word. I followed him out and worked on a supra til closing time.

Brian's POV:

We both got in the car and the drive home was silent.

Lyndsey was sat on the wall outside as I pulled up on to the drive way.

'You better not have lost your key again' I said

She pushed her glasses up on top of her head.

'And what have I told you about wearing your cheerleading clothes outside of school.'

Her skirt and top were both far to short.

'No there up stairs in my room I didn't have time to pick them up this morning. Its so hot dad I wanted to get home quickly and have a shower, that's why I didn't get changed, besides I don't see what's wrong with it.'

She looked down at her skirt

'Oh nick, Ryan told me to tell you he'd give you a call to night about Saturday.'

Nick nodded and I rolled my eyes.

I opened the door and went straight to the fridge to get a beer, nick went upstairs to his room and Lyndsey went to follow him.

'Not so fast young lady.' I said

'Dad I feel yucky and need a shower.' She whined.

'Sit down a minute.' I pointed to a kitchen chair

She huffed and sat down.

'Why were you cheating in class today?'

She looked at the floor; both of them were so easy to read.

'I wasn't cheating. I I I…………'

'Its no good is it your still mad aren't u?' she pouted

'Yeah and your grounded for the weekend.'

I'd learnt from previous experience it was easier to keep both of them in doors than one of them.
