Lindsay looked at the tablets in the palm of Katie's hand. Lindsay was stressed out and could do with something that calmed her down.
''They're not dangerous.'' Katie tried to persuade her
Lindsay took a deep breath ''I'll take them to school with me.''
''I thought-'' Katie began
''I've changed my mind.'' Lindsay began
Lindsay took the strip of tablets and put them in her bag before heading off to school. Lindsay texted Emily to ask her to say she'd been to the dentist this morning.
In English with Grantley, Kyle was fearing of getting another text from Shannon. Shannon had now said that Kyle has until tomorrow to make his mind up otherwise she'd tell his dad about Lilly. Kyle had already lost his rights over Logan to Karla's useless boyfriend. Rhona knew something wasn't right as he was always cautious about his phone.
''And what relationship does George have with Lenny in the book?'' Grantley asked his class, looking around ''Mr Holland?''
Kyle was busy staring out of the window and Grantley knew he wasn't paying attention.
''Kyle!'' Grantly snapped
Kyle almost jumped out of his skin ''What?''
''What relationship does George have with Lenny in the book?'' Repeated Grantley
''Dunno sir.'' Kyle answered
''Dunno?'' Grantley began ''Is that suppose to be English? If only you can't be like your sister Hannah and show the same interest as her.''
''Sorry.'' Kyle muttered under his breath
''Beth.'' Grantley said to a girl in the corner
''George is like a father figure to Lenny because Lenny is always copying George's action. Lenny also relies on George to tell him what is right and wrong.'' Beth explained
''Good.'' Grantley praised ''Now, turn to the questions at the end of the chapter and answer them. 20 minutes.''
5 minutes later, Grantley was fast asleep with a racing paper lying on his chest and his feet on the desk. Rhona took the opportunity to ask Kyle what was wrong.
''Kyle.'' Rhona said ''What's the matter?''
''Nothing.'' Kyle snarled
''Kyle.'' Rhona was hurt that Kyle spoke to her like that
Kyle sighed and picked up his things before storming out the class.
Break soon came and Lindsay had just arrived. Emily warned her that Tom would check out her story about the dentist. Lindsay felt as if for once everything was going well for her. She now had a loving boyfriend, Paul and great friends in the 6th form. Her and her sister had grown even closer. Lindsay had taken a liking to Katie, Kyle, Hannah and Poppy, especially Katie as they were close in age and had a lot in common. Lindsay reached the school gates and saw someone wearing a green blazer, a white shirt and tie with a green school skirt. It was Shannon
''Excuse me.'' Shannon said ''Do you know Kyle Holland?''
''Yeah, he's my step brother.'' Lindsay told her
''I'm an old friend of his, will you ask him to come and see me please?'' Shannon asked
''Sure.'' Lindsay replied
Kyle was playing a game of football with all the other lads when Lindsay approached him.
''Kyle!'' Lindsay called, nodding him over
''What?'' Kyle asked
''Someone wants to meet you. She's at the gate.'' Lindsay told Kyle
Kyle looked over at the gates and instantly recognised Shannon. Kyle was fed up of this with Shannon as he wanted to make a go of things with Rhona. What would Rhona think when she finds out that he has had 2 children already? Kyle went pale faced and his heart started racing.
''Who is she?'' Lindsay asked
''Oh...jus...just a friend.'' Kyle lied
Kyle walked up the drive to be greeted by Shannon. For some reason he was anxious. Not with nerves, but with excitement. He couldn't help it, but every time he went near Shannon, it felt like when they were dating. No, no, no. Kyle tried to block out those feelings as he was with Rhona and was 100% committed to her.
''I have until tomorrow.'' Kyle told her
''What's taking you so long?'' Shannon asked ''All we have to do is go out. Lilly won't be brought into it yet.''
''But I'm with someone else.'' Kyle insisted
''That's preventing you from being a dad?'' Shannon asked
''Look, leave me alone otherwise I'll go to the cops.'' Kyle said ''This is blackmail.''
''Well, I'll make a trip round your house and I'm sure daddy will be impressed.'' Shannon told Kyle
''Right.'' Kyle began, being the mature one ''On a Sunday, I'll meet you in the park near my house and I'll spend some time with Lilly
''That isn't fair!'' Exclaimed Shannon ''You can have her 6 hours a day and I have her 7 nights a week.''
''Oh just forget.'' Kyle sighed
What was Kyle going to do? Dump everything with Rhona for Shannon? Kyle wanted to be there for Lilly, but he desperately wanted to stay with Rhona.
