Robbie walked across the square to pick up Peter and Lucy to go to school.
On her way over Lauren, Abi and Whitney joined.
Then ZsaZsa and Ben were already waiting outside their house on nr 55.
- 'So where's Jay?'Robbie asked still getting angry mentioning his name, for grassing on her and Peter at Ben's homecoming.
- 'He's ehm not well, a little sick, he's been throwing up and stuff'Ben said.
- 'Wait till i get my hands on him'Robbie whispered to Peter.
- 'You just keep your calm alright, you're already in a lot of trouble, well we both are'Peter said softly.
- 'Yeah i know, but i'm gonna make him pay, you really think he's sick in there, he's probably watching behind some curtain in there, the little rat'Robbie said.
- 'Jay doesn't seem one to be hiding himself inside'Peter said.
- 'Whatever, like i said, i'm gonna make him pay'Robbie said.
- 'Come on Bonnie and Clyde, we're gonna be late'ZsaZsa said'we don't have all day'.
The group of friends started to head to Walford high.

After lunch, with Jack at the club, Ronnie had gone home, cause some of the weddingdresses she ordered would be delivered today.
When she just walked through the frontdoor, her mobile went off, and she saw Miss Bell's name come up.
- 'Miss Bell, hi, Ronnie Mitchell here, how are you, any problems?'Ronnie asked immediately, knowing that she wouldn't be calling her for just a socialcall.
- 'Miss Mitchell, hello, it's been a while but as you obviously know i'm not really calling for a little chitchat, ehm, why i'm calling is that after lunch Robbie hasn't turned up in the class of mrs Lancaster, you know our PE teacher, Robbie has 2 hours of them on Monday'Miss Bell said.
- 'Really, did Robbie attend any classes this morning then?'Ronnie asked.
- 'Yes she has been attending classes untill lunch and it seems she's left schoolproperty right after'Miss Bell said.
Ronnie sighed, scratched her forehead and was quiet for a minute.
- 'Miss Mitchell, i was just informing you like i promised you before'Miss Bell said'and you know we need to inform parents when students aren't attending our classes'.
- 'Ehm, yes ofcourse, thanks, i wonder what happened, i don't have an explanation or excuse for it, but ehm thanks for calling ofcourse, she'll be in tomorrow again and you can discipline her for her actions if she has been bunking off, she'll be getting plenty of that when it turns out to be that'Ronnie said.
- 'I'm sorry i had to inform you with this news miss Mitchell'Miss Bell said.
- 'Yeah that's alright, goodbye miss Bell'Ronnie said as she sat down on the sofa and just put her head in her hands.

Meanwhile Robbie had arrived on the corner of Victoria road and the square.
She was at nr 55, she knew Phil was probably working at the Arches, and Shirley somewhere round the square.
The whole morning at school her thoughts had been drifting off and she could only think of that little weasel Jay that was pretending to be sick at home.
Because of him, Peter and her had been in trouble with Jack, she kept seeing Jack pushing Peter against the bathroomdoor, she just couldn't forget about it eventhough Jack had gone easy on her the day before.
A little lecture here and there from him and Ronnie but that was pretty much it, she got off pretty easy thinking about it, but the thought of Peter she couldn't let go, she loved him.
Robbie thought it was so low of Jay, he only did it cause of some jealousy thing obviously.
She had PE in the afternoon while Peter had other classes so she left without him knowing about it, she didn't want to get him into any more trouble and he would've tried to talk her out of it for sure, so she had told Whitney who had the same class.
Robbie had been thinking of paying Jay a little visit.
She was gonna slip through the kitchendoor who was open most of the time, or they had a key laying there somewhere hidden under a loose tile on the floor.
As she slowly opened the gardendoor she looked around to be sure noone on the square saw her go in.
Robbie walked up to the kitchendoor and looked inside, there was nobody there.
She figured that if someone would have been there and saw her, she would just pretend to pay a little visit with some sort of an excuse.
Robbie was glad she didn't have to come up with something now that there seemed to be noone.
She carefully felt the door-handle, and it was open, just like she thought it was gonna be.
Robbie slowly opened it and walked into the kitchen.
It seemed to be all quiet inside.
Jay was probably upstairs, allthough it also seemed to be quiet up there.
As she wanted to walk out of the kitchen to go over to the stairs she heard Shirley's voice'...money and buying this house so we have to take it easy or she'll finds out, what do you think, she's not that thick is she'.
- 'It's Roxy!'Robbie heard a mans voice say, before she could think what this conversation was about and who it was, she realised it was Phil, cause suddenly he was standing right in front of her.
- 'What are you doing here Robbie?'he asked.
- 'Ehm, well ehm, i was ehm, i heard Jay was sick and wanted to see if he was ok?'Robbie said immediately feeling nervous and being intimitated a little by her cousin.
- 'Jay?'Shirley said as she came out to the hallway 'heard you got in a little trouble Saturdaynight because of him, so i doubt you want to see if he's ok Robbie, you came here to get even with him or something'.
- 'Developed a sixt sense now Shirley, you know what i'm thinking do ya?'Robbie said.
- 'What are you thinking?'Phil asked.
- 'I'm thinking i need to go to the club, mum wanted to see me after school and you know how she gets Phil'Robbie said quickly.
Phil looked at Shirley who signed with her head to let Robbie out.
- 'Now ehm, Jay is sleeping upstairs so you better go see Ronnie yeah'Shirley said.
- 'Next time don't sneak up on us yeah'Phil said'just use the frontdoor'.
- 'Yeah alright'Robbie said and walked out through the front door.
- 'You think she heard anything?'Shirley said to Phil.
- 'What if, we just say she must have heard wrong, i'm their cousin, how could i ever do that to my family, she's a 15 year old mouthy kid, they won't believe it trust me'Phil said.
Robbie stood outside, she was shaking a little.
- 'Get a grip!'she said to herself, then started thinking if she heard this conversation between Phil and Shirley right.
Money, buying this house, she'll find out, Roxy. Could they really nicked all of Roxy's money?
She needed to think this over, could Phil really steal from his own family, she remembered how angry he got over some bottles of alcohol she and her friends stole from the Vic.
And what about Shirley, she always liked Shirley, why would she go along with it, obviously cause she didn't wanna loose Phil ofcourse.
Robbie took her phone out of her pocket and put the sound back on, before going in she had put it to mute.
She saw 3 missed calls, 2 voicemails and 2 textmessages.
Robbie sighed, the thought of Jay turned up again, not only did he get her in trouble for last Saturdaynight, but with him calling in sick for school today and her running in to Phil, she only got herself into more trouble.
Jay was probably stinking in his bed playing some Ps3 games, while she would be in a lot of trouble at school and with her mum, and now she also had Jack to answer to.
And what would she do with this information, would anyone take her seriously, and how would she explain that she sneaked into Phils house.
Robbie turned her phone off, this way she might try to do her "i had my phone turned off for school mum, i forgot to put it back on'- excuse.
But who was she kidding, her mum wasn't as thick as Heather, who she once told that while they used to live in Ibiza, Roxy's ex-boyfriend cheated on her with George Michael, who they met backstage at a show he gave overthere.
Heather didn't believe itt at first but then got a little jealous when Robbie had shown her a picture of her, Roxy and George together, a picture she simply photoshopped on the computer.
But Robbie thought Heather was a too sweet and funny, and way to easy to take the mick out of, so she never did that again.
She didn't know what to do, go to the club and pretend nothing was wrong, or just wait a while and think of a good excuse to safe her back.
Either way she knew Ronnie must know cause of the missed calls, voicemails and textmessages.
But before she knew it she was already walking to the club.
She decided to just face the music, which was ironic cause when she was gonna get there the one thing she would be sure off was that Jack wouldn't let her play it.
When she got to the club she walked down the stairs and looked around, she saw noone there so she walked into the office.
She walked in and saw Jack behind his desk.
- 'Hiya dad'Robbie said.
- 'Hey munchkin, you're early?'Jack said as he looked up from his computer.
- 'Yeah, ehm, where's mum?'Robbie asked sitting down on the sofa in the office.
- 'She's at home, some of the weddingdresses she ordered are suppose to arrive today so i have to stay here cause i'm not allowed to see them'Jack said with a cheeky smile.
- 'Is she coming back then or...'Robbie said as the door opened again and Ronnie walked in.
- 'Hey sweetheart, we were just talking about you'Jack said with a smile.
- 'Were you now, really?'Ronnie said as she looked not at all smiling at Robbie.
- 'Yeah, so the dresses arrived early then, i mean if you're already here?'Jack asked not noticing Ronnie being irritated, obviously by Robbie.
- 'Yes darling they did oh and you know what also arrived a little early?'Ronnie said still not taking her eye off Robbie, who knew that any excuse she could come up with would be a waste of time, her mum was angry and not to be messed with.
- 'What's that then?'Jack said now looking at Ronnie who didn't looked amused.
- 'Robbie finished school early today, and could you tell your dad the reason why Robbie, could you please tell him why you finished school early today hmm?'Ronnie said trying to stay calm.
- 'Cause i ehm, cause i..'Robbie said not wanting to look at Ronnie or Jack anymore so she looked at the floor.
- 'Cause she bunked off again, didn't you Robbie'Ronnie said with her hands on her hips 'Miss Bell called me just after lunch that she left schoolproperty while she still had classes to attend too'.
- 'Well is there an explanation for bunking off then Robbie?'Jack asked already in a more serious tone that he started the conversation with.
- 'No'Robbie said softly not wanting to tell them ofcourse she wanted to get back at Jay.
- 'Sorry but we can't hear your explanation for bunking today my little sweetheart!'Ronnie said a little sarcastic.
- 'No reason'Robbie said looking at Ronnie.
- 'Get up and get your bag, we're going home!'Ronnie said.
- 'Ehm, i'm not finished here yet'Jack said'i'll see you later yeah'.
- 'Yeah'Ronnie said.
Robbie still sat on the sofa and just looked at Jack.
- 'Come on, get up and listen to me for a change'Ronnie said pulling Robbie of the sofa'and you better walk ahead of me and out of reach of my hands cause i'm really ready to smack you one baby!'
Robbie quickly grabbed her bag and walked out of the office and straight up the stairs.
She knew Ronnie was really upset with her.
They walked quickly through a busy Bridgestreet.
- 'Ronnie, Robbie?'Glenda said as she just came out of the cafe with two coffees in her hands.
- 'Not now mum, i'll see you later!'Ronnie said as she just passed her mother.
Glenda stood still for a little while and followed both her daughters with her eyes.
Then raised her eyebrows not understanding what was going on now.
She turned around and made her way back to the bookies with coffee for her and Carol.
As Ronnie and Robbie both arrived at nr 27, Ronnie got her keys out, opened the door
and lead Robbie in.
- 'Now i want you to go upstairs and stay there untill i feel ready to speak to you cause at this moment i'm to angry with you, you bunking off again, like you're not in enough trouble as it is, or have you slightly forgotten about this weekend Robin hmm?'Ronnie said.
- 'No ofcourse not'Robbie said walking half way up the stairs.
- 'Oh and another thing, why haven't you picked up your phone'Ronnie then asked.
- 'You want me to go upstairs or talk?'Robbie said.
Ronnie's face turned more angry and Robbie quickly ran up the stairs when Ronnie made a move to grab hold of her.
- 'Don't you even try to get smart with me, you hear me!'Ronnie said looking upstairs.
Robbie stood upstairs listening to her mum being so upset with her.
Then she walked into her room and closed the door.
She walked to the window and looked onto the square.
The only freedom she would probably have for a while.
