Author's note: Hey everybody! I thought I would update today since I have the time and since I left a cliffhanger on the last chapter. I noticed some grammar errors in that chapter to so I plan on going and fixing them. Anyways, here is chapter eight!

When she got home she noticed that the lights were already off. So she headed to the closet and put her jacket in there. But just as she did that the lights flickered on.

"You're late" A female voice said and she turned to see her mother sitting on the sofa along with her father.

"Oh sorry, I just lost track of time" she said simply.

"Well that doesn't excuse it young lady"

"Look, I'm sorry what more do you want!" she said her voice slowly rising.

"Don't you use that tone with me!" she said.

"Look I'm going to go up to bed, its late and I need my sleep" she said as she headed towards the staircase but Carol grabbed her arm and dragged her over to the sofa.

"You're grounded for two weeks" she said.

"What?" she asked.

"You heard me" she said.

She sighed, it was worth fighting. She always lost when doing that. So she didn't say anything and headed up to her bedroom and fell asleep.

But when she got in there she heard the lamp turn on.

"What were you guys fighting about?" she heard Jan ask.

"I came home late" she said.

"Oh, what was the punishment?" Jan asked.

"Grounded for two weeks" she said.

"That sounds reasonable" Marcia said.

she just nodded and turned over in her bed "I guess" she said sighing.

The next morning she said nothing at breakfast. Then she got ready for school and left the house as fast as she could.

"Hey Laura! Laura! Laura wait up!"

She turned around to see her best friend Megan running towards her.

Then finally she caught up to her.

"Hey I hope you didn't get in trouble last night"

"I did" she said simply.

"What was the punishment?"

"Grounded for two weeks"

"Figures, your aunt and uncle are such squares" Megan scoffed "I didn't get punished at all since my folks are out of town and when they called I mentioned nothing of it, hopefully those dumb neighbors of mine won't squeal on me though"

"That's because your folks are out of town though, besides even if they were out of town my cousins would probably still squeal on me" She pointed out.

"Well, I have an idea, why don't we vacation from school today, that way you can have a little fun without getting in any trouble at all, we can just go home at the normal time"

"It sounds tempting but I can't, I'd get in trouble"

"Oh come on Laura, I know for a fact you don't want to go to math class last period as much maybe even more than I do"

She sighed "I guess you got a point lets go"

"Yay!" Megan said

Then they went shopping.
