Chapter 10
The next day Rachel was going to wake the kids up for school she had heard Aimee in bed the night before, she was very restless, and Rachel knew she hadn't slept well.
She went into her daughters room first.
"Holly, it's time to get up" she said, Holly stirred in the bed, before opening her eyes.
"5 more minutes, please Mum" Holly said. Rachel walked to the door " 5 Holly, I have a training course in London for 2 days, so you need to get up soon, we have to leave early, so I can get my flight".
She knocked Phils door, and he got up surprisingly quickly, lastly she went to Aimees room, she opened the door, and woke her niece.
"Hi Honey, time to get up". Aimee opened her eyes, Rachel could tell she had been crying, her eyes were red.
"Aimee, do you want to stay at home today?" Rachel asked her niece
"No, I want to go to School, I haven't done anything wrong"
"I know you haven't, but Earl, I bet he tells everyone we did it, they all think that anyway, I know they do"
"But you know better, and that's all that matters"
"I want to go to school, I don't want Earl to ruin my life" Aimee said
"I know love, maybe if we talk to the Police, then he won't get away with it again"
"No, it's not like he did anything, and they'll say I asked for it, please don't make me, I don't want the whole world to know" Aimee was starting to get upset, she really didn't want to talk about it.
"Ok, remember I'm going to be away all day today and tomorrow, Eddie is going to come and stay with you kids"
"Are you going to tell him?" Aimee asked.
"I think, he should know, you have nothing to be worried about, he won't tell anyone, you know he cares about you and Phil a lot"
"OK, but you tell him, I don't want to" Aimee said.
"OK" Rachel said before leaving, her room, she could hear Holly already up and moving and Phil was already downstairs with the TV on.
Rachel was already ready, she walked out to the Garden to call Eddie away from the kids, she explained about Aimee, and Eddie agreed to keep a close eye on her today.
Aimee was ready and had went into Holly's room, Holly was in the room when Aimee came home, so she knew all about what had went on with Earl.
"Holly, please, don't tell anyone about me and Earl" she asked her younger cousin
"I won't say a word to anyone, I promise"
"I just know people will think I'm a stupid slut who asked for it" Aimee said.
"No they wouldn't" Holly disagreed with her cousin.
"Oh, come on, I bet even you thought I had done it with Earl"
Holly didn't answer, she was sure Aimee had in fact slept with Earl, she was a little glad when she found out she hadn't
"See, I knew you would have thought that, your silence says it all"
"No, it's not that, it's just, I want to get closer to Paul, and was hoping you would give me advice"
"I don't know, I was stupid with Earl and done stuff I didn't want to, just don't let him force you"
"I won't, he's never been interested in anything more than snogging"
"Maybe he's Gay" Aimee said laughing
"He is not, I think he's just nervous like me"
"Hmm, or maybe he actually loves you and your relationship is not purely physical"
"We better get downstairs" Holly said, and both girls ran down to the door.
Rachel drove into the school and stopped the car in her spot, Eddie had arrived a few moments between her.
"Are you looking forward to your training course?" Eddie asked Rachel as the kids got out the car.
"Can't wait" she said smiling. "Thank you, for watching the kids" she whispered to him.
"It's not a problem, glad to help" he replied, the 3 kids had already ran off to talk to their Friends.
Rachel drove off to the airport.
Aimee, and Holly were walking around the back side of the school when they noticed a load of travellers had set up on the school playingfields.
"Look at the state of them" Aimee said
"I know, we better tell Eddie, so he can get them moved" Holly said.
The two girls to the other side of the school, they seen Eddie walking away from Rachel's car and Rachel driving off.
"Eddie" Aimee shouted to get his attention
"Eh Mr Lawson" he corrected
"You better come quick" Holly said, "theres loads of them" she addied
"loads of what?" he asked whilst following.
"Gypos" Holly said
"I think you mean travelling people" he replied.
He got to the playing field and didn't want to go in himself, so he decided to call the council.
The council said at the moment there was nothing they could do, typical council moto, and shortly later there was a woman from the LEA, apparently Waterloo Road had to provide education for them whilst they were in the area.
"Great" he thought to himself. He Sorted the kids into classes , but the Waterloo Road kids were not keen on them being there, as were some of the teachers.
Holly was in English, sitting next to Paul when suddenly a leak in the roof came thundering down on top of him.
"Aw Man"
"What happened to you?" Grantly asked
"The roofs leaking on top of us" Holly said, she too was slightly wet, but nothing compared to Paul.
"It's them gypos, innit, look, theres no metal on the roof, he said looking up".
"You two, go and get dried up" Grantly told them.
Holly and Paul left the class room, and walked towards the PE department to get some towels when the seen Eddie.
"Eh, what are you two doing out of class" he asked, before noticing Paul was soaking "and why are you so wet" he added.
"The roof was leaking and it burst on top of us" Holly said
"Where?" Eddie asked
"Mr Budgens Class" Paul said.
"Eddie, can we go back to mines so I can get changed?" Holly asked
"No, go to your Mums office, I'll get you both some spare clothes" he said
"I don't want to wear some skanky clothes from lost property" Holly said
"That is enough, besides you'll be dry in a few minutes, its Paul we need to get sorted"
"It's those gypos fault, stealing the metal from the roof" Paul said.
"And do you have proof of that" Eddie asked
"No Sir"
"Well maybe you should get some evidence before you go around making accusations, and I trust that you two will be an example to the rest of the school, I don't want any trouble today, do you hear"
"Yes Sir" they both said.
Once they were all cleaned up Holly went of to Music whilst Paul went to Art, they met up later at Morning Break.
"You'll never believe it" Paul said when he found Holly.
"What?" she asked
"One of those skanks has stolen my mobile" he said.
"What, are you kidding"
"No, I tell you what, I think I know who it was, I'm gonna get him" he said before running off, Holly ran after him.
They got to the Playground and Paul ran up and shoved the boy he suspected.
"You took my phone" he shouted whilst shoving him.
"Get your Hands off my boyfriend, you idiot" one of the girls shouted
"Eh, who are you calling an Idiot" Holly said to the Girl
"Him, and you must be too, if your going to go out with him," she said
Holly shoved her "Don't call my boyfriend an idiot, skank" she said
"I'm no skank," the girl said pushing Holly. A few seconds later, Holly and the girl were fighting, as was Paul and her Boyfriend.
Eddie saw the whole thing from his office Window, but by the time he got there it was a full scale riot. Kim and Tom were also on hand to try and break it up.
Eddie got a hold of Paul and Holly off the two other kids.
"Right, you two my office NOW!!" Eddie bellowed at the two kids.
"It's not his office" Paul whispered to Holly "Its your Mums", but it was just loud enough for Eddie to hear.
"Whilst Miss Mason is not here, I'm in Charge, now go, Kim, Tom, can you get the rest of them into the cooler please?" he asked.
Holly and Paul walked quickly to the office. "I'm going to be in so much trouble" Holly said worriedly, she had never done anything this bad before and knew her Mum would go spare.
"Chill, we'll just get a slap on the wrists, it will be fine" Paul said trying to calm her down. "I bet we get one detention" he added
"Detention, I have never had detention in my life" she shirked
"Well today is your Lucky Day" Eddie said coming into the office. "What were you two playing at, I seen the whole ugly episode from the window, so don't think you can lie to me"
"She called Paul an Idiot, and I got caught up in the moment, I'm Sorry Eddie" she said, Eddie looked at her waiting on her to address him properly, she knew the rules at school he was Mr Lawson and Rachel was Miss Mason, they probably should have made it more clear with the kids. "I mean Mr Lawson" she quickly added.
"Whats your excuse" Eddie asked Paul.
"He stole my mobile phone" Paul said confidently
"Oh, so you thought I'll go and incite a Riot instead of reporting it to me" Eddie said just as Pauls Phone rang, it was in his trousers pocket, of the ones that had got wet.
"I think you just found your phone" he said to Paul "And I think you both owe some people an apology" he added as the bell rang.
"Now get to class" he said as he walked off to the cooler and gave the kids there a rollicking too.
Eddie gave Rachel a quick call, but her phone went straight to Voicemail so he left her a message.
He also called the Parents of all the Waterloo Road kids who had been involved in the fight to ask permission to detain them today, he asked Pauls Foster Parents for permission to detain him for one week, and he sent the Travelling Kids home with a letter.
At Lunch Holly did as she was told and apologised for her part in the fight, Paul was not as forthcoming, he hated Travellers for no logical reason.
"Paul, Eddie asked you to apologise" Holly said as they walked to the canteen
"Im not apologising to them, I hate them" he said.
"Why do you hate them" she asked "You don't even know them"
"I just do, they steal, and are dirty"
"Says who" Holly asked, she had been brought up to treat everyone like equals.
"I don't know, it's just my parents hate them, and where we used to live they set up once, and made a mess of the place, that's it really"
Eddie was in the Canteen when he seen the 2 teenagers. "Paul, I have spoken to your Guardian about today, and they have agreed that you can have one weeks worth of afterschool detention, starting from today"
"What, a whole Week" Paul said
"We can make it two if you want" Eddie said.
"What about me" Holly said
"I haven't spoken to your Mother yet, but I can't see her disagreeing with me, can you"
"No Sir, do we need to tell her" Holly asked expectantly
"What do you think?" Eddie asked and left the two kids alone.
The school day soon finished and Eddie took Philip, Aimee and Holly home once detention was over.
Rachel had already made dinner, it just had to be het up in the Microwave, Philip put the TV on and Aimee sat across from her brother painting her nails. Eddie was in the kitchen.
"Eddie" Holly said as she went into the kitchen. "Yes Holly" he replied
"You know I'am Sorry about today, I don't know what I did"
"You should be sorry, I'm disappointed, as is your Mother"
"Have you spoken to her" Holly aked.
"Yes, and she is not best pleased"
"I promise, I'll treat them better from now on" she said
"I don't suppose it matters now, they have left, and I'm not surprised giving how Waterloo Road treated them"
Holly did feel so guilty about it. She went through to the Living Room.
"I seen that right hook you gave that girl" Aimee said, it was brilliant
"No it wasn;t, I shouldn't have done it" she said.
The next Day Rachel was returning, her flight got her into the Airport just before Lunch, earlier than she expected so she went straight to Waterloo Road, she had her GCSE History Class after Lunch with her Daughter and Paul. Grantly would be pleased he didn't have to cover for Rachel now.
"You done your History Homework" Paul said to Holly at Lunch
"No, Mums away till tonight, I'll do it them"
"But she said it was due today" Paul said
"I know she did, but I had Maths homework, and French, and Chemistry and Biology last night, didn't I,"
"It's just not like you to leave things to the last minute" Paul said.
"I know, but I thought about it, I can sneak my homework onto the pile when she marks it at home, after Budgen gives her it"
"Good thinking, will you not get caught though"
"Nope"
The bell rang and Holly was surprised to see her Mum as the class door when she got to History, late as usual as she and Paul were dawdling.
Rachel closed the door to the class room so she could talk to the two teens without everyone hearing. "Late for Class, shall we add that to the list" Rachel said.
"What list" Holly asked.
"The list of reasons why the pair of you are in so much trouble, I have spoken to Mr Lawson, and I must say I'm disappointed in the both of you, Holly this conversation will continue at home, now get into class and get your Homework out" Rachel said.
"Oh No, thought Holly, she was going to be in for it when she got home.
