Stood side by side inside the heads office, Alex and Lauren both looked nervous. Alex suddenly realised she was still clutching a clump of Laurens hair, Which she let go off and watched it fell slowly to the floor.

Right Lauren I really don't understand your behavior this Morning Mr Allcock the head said looking at the teen, I know you have had your difficulties in the past but you are ussually a sencable level headed girl, Why would you a six former be scobbleing with a year seven child.

"I wasn't sir she just attacked me I just trying to defend my self". Lauren said sniffling and holding a ice pack up to her head where Alex and pulled her hair out.

"You liar" Alex said turning to Lauren

"You will get a chance to speak in minute" Mr Allcock snapped at Alex

"She as been bullying my sister as well sir, Making her bunk off school and allsorts"

"No one can force anyone to do anything they don't want to do Lauren" Mr Allcock said, "Mind you playing truant doesn't sound like Abi, OK Lauren I will trust that you will not be drawn into this situation again"

No sir I won't" Lauren said Sweetley.

"Ok off you go back to Class" Lauren turned and gave Alexandra a sacastic smile before leaving the room.

"Right What have you got to say in your defence" Mr Allcock said looking at Alexandra.

Alex took a deep breath and said "Nothing"

"Nothing" Mr Allcock repeated after Alexandra. "Playing truant Attacking other students and allegations of Bullying and you have only been here a week, We do not put up with that kind of behavior in this School young lady, I am afraid I will have to contact your Mother and inform of your behavior, And if things don't improve we will no other option but to exclude you from school do you Understand me.

"Yes Sir Thank you sir" Alex said heading for the door. Alex couldn't believe she had got away so easily.

Alex was walking home from school knowing Mr Allcock would have spoken to Glenda by now and was thinking that ment another reason for Glenda and Roxy to have ago at her.

"Whose been Naughty again" Ronnie said in a teasing voice as she bumped into Alex as she was walking through the Gardens.

"Can I come and live with you Ronnie, If Mum chucks me out" Alex asked being completley serious.

Ronnie laughed giving her Sister a hug "You wouldn't get away with half as much with me as you do with Mum Alex, Anyway Mum isn't about to kick you out"

"I don't think Mum likes me much and Roxy hate's me" Alex said taking hold of Ronnies hand "please Ronnie can I come and stay with you"

Ronnie couldn't bring herself to say no, "I know lets take you home and face the Music" Ronnie said keeping hold of Alexandra's hand.

"You know Mum tells you off because you misbehave not because she doesn't love you, she loves you very much, You are her Baby, And Roxy well shes like that with everyone, And I have heard you giving Roxy a lot of lip" Ronnie said Walking Alex back to the flats.

All of a sudden Max shouted Glenda who was also on her way back to the flats carrying a magazine.

"Keep that Little Animal of yours in a cage, will ya" Max Shouted.

"I beg your Pardon" Glenda said in really posh voice.

"Alexandra" Max said.

"Oh that Yes yes I have spoken with Mr Allcock, So Alex as pulled Laurens Pig tail whats the big deal"

"Lauren as a bald patch" Max said getting more angry by Glenda's attitude.

"If your Daughter can't stand up for herself thats her Problem, my Little Alexandra is half her size"

"And forcing Abi to bunk off School, last week" Max said

"She was disciplined for what happened with Abi, And I hardley think that she forced Abi to do anything" Glenda said walking off and meeting up with Ronnie and Alex who had witnesed the Altercation.

"Inside girls" Glenda said.

Alex felt really proud and pleased that Glenda had stuck up for her.

Ronnie opened the front door and let Mother and Sister into the flats.

"Get up those stairs" Glenda said changing her tone of voice and swatting Alexandra with the Magazine.

"Outch mum don't" Alex said trying to avoid the magazine.

"go on move it" Glenda said giving her another swat.

Ronnie smiled and went into her own flat

Upstairs Alex had run and jumped on the sofa in an attempt to get away from her mothers magazine.

"You Little Monster" Glenda screamed at Alex "You can't go around pulling other peoples hair out, What did you think you were doing, Can't you behave yourself for just one day"

"I'm sorry Mum but it wasn't me, Lauren started on me not the other way around"

"Look I have to go back to work, but don't think you have got away with it Missy, I will work out some horrific punishment for you while I finish my shift, Glenda said giving Alex another more gentle swat of the magazine on the head. I'll be back at seven don't go annoying Roxy"

As Glenda left the flat in a hurry as she had just nipped out from work to see Alex when she came home from school so she didn't shut the door propely behind her.

Alex began to do her Homework pleased that Mother had seemed in a better mood. at around half past five, a knock came on the door, Alex thought that Roxy must have forgot her Keys again as she was due home around that time, So Alex got up and opened the door She looked up in terror with her mouth open as Charlie push her backwads and entered the flat followed by Zak.
