Everyone here is great I think. Well, maybe not great, but at least good. Well, maybe except for Carmen, but whats to be expected when youre 8 months pregnant?

The twins are going on both mine and Joshs nerves, but were forced to be nice to them, since they are Joshs sisters.

Nothings really new with me Well, I was grounded again, but I guess that doesnt really come as a surprise to you, since I always am.

Hows everything with you? How did that meeting go yesterday?

Well, I have to go to school.

Take care.

I shut the lap top off and look around my room. I have to find my school bag, which isnt easy in this mess. Im surprised that mom didnt say anything about it last night. I sigh loudly as I lift some clothes up to see if my bag is under there. Unfortunately it isnt, and Bette is yelling from downstairs now, and I know Josh is down there waiting for me.

Im coming! I yell as I bend down to look under my bed. And there it is. I pull it out and brush off the dust before I go downstairs.

What took you so long? mommy Tina asks me.

Nothing. I shrug. Shall we go? I add to Josh.

You sure you dont wan lunch money sweetie? Tina asks me and I turn around to her.

Ill eat when I get home instead, cause its unnecessary to buy a meal which I wont eat anyway.

Tina looks amused at me. I wonder who teach you these things, cause we most certainly dont.

I sigh at this. Bye mom.

Bye. Have a nice day at school.

You cant put nice and school in the same sentence I mutter as we walk out the door. it just doesnt add up.

I shut the door closed and we start to walk to school.

So what did they say? Josh asks me. He mustve seen how confused I was about the hair. He added nodding his head towards mine.

Oh right. Im grounded. I muttered.

He laughed a little. Arent you always though? I mean if you put all of your grounded time together Im sure youve been grounded for at least 2 years.

You know what? I say That is probably true, so its not as fun as it should be.

He laughs at me. Well, Im grounded too, you know.

I look at him. What for?

For letting you cut and dye your hair in a way I knew your moms wouldnt approve of.

I stare at him. Are you serious?

He laughs at my stare. Yup.

We walk a bit in silence. I look at him in the corner of my eye. Do you want me to talk to them?

He laughed at me. No, thanks. Ill deal. Theyre not so bright though after all.

I laugh at that comment. Is any parent?

I meet Josh again after school since we dont have any classes together on Fridays.

So, how was your day? He asks.

Long. I answer. You?

Pretty much the same.

We walk back to my place together. Tina is home when we get there.

Hey, how was school today? She asks as we walk into the kitchen.

I look at Josh and sigh. Great. I mutter. Were gonna to our homework now so then I can sit in my room and be grounded for the rest of the weekend.

Tina smiled at me. Well, youve got yourself to blame.

Yea, yea. I say as we walk up to my room..

TBC.
