“Excuse me miss do not slam doors” Bette scolded

Bette opened the house door and Kaitlin stormed in and all the way upstairs slamming her bedroom door. Bette was about to go up after her but the phone rang.

“Hello” Bette said

“Hey baby its me im on my way home” Tina said

“Ok I’ll put the kettle on” Bette said before hanging up the phone.

Tina walked through the door just as Bette was pouring the water into the mugs.

“So what happened at the school?” Tina asked sitting down with her cup

“The usual, a girl called Paula wanted to beat Ashley up and Kaitlin found and then she decided she was going to get Paula before Ashley got it” Bette answered

“Sticking up for her sister” Tina laughed “What did the school say, is she going back tomorrow?”

“No, Miss Clarke said that all fighting students are suspended from school for 2 weeks. It has cut the amount of fighting down or something. So what do you think her punishment be in the house?” Bette said sitting beside Tina

“2 weeks, that’s harsh. Why don’t we ground her for the whole 2 weeks? That means she cant get out and boast” Tina suggested

“Is that not a really light punishment?” Bette said

“She was sticking up for her sister it would have been different if she got bored and fought, I’d prefer her fighting for her family than fighting out of boredom.” Tina continued.

“Lets get her down. She went up those stairs and never said a word after it.” Bette and Tina laughed.

After calling Kaitlin down stairs, Bette and Tina were sitting in the living room. They could hear her banging around in her room before stamping her feet on every step coming down.

“What?” Kaitlin said looking out of the window

“Don’t be like that. Your mama and I have decided that you should be grounded for the 2 weeks you have suspended. We find it only fair because you were sticking up for your family” Tina told her

Kaitlin never looked at either of them as they spoke. She just stood waving out of the window
