“Ash we’ve been hiding this from her all day if she see’s it she see’s it” Kaitlin said

Ashley began walking towards the locker area. Kaitlin rolled her eyes and then followed her.

“She’s been here” Ashley said

“What how do you know that” Kaitlin asked

Ashley bent down and lifted a set of keys.

“That’s her locker keys” Ashley said putting them in her bag.

Kaitlin you go home ahead I think I’m going to go by Mama’s work.

“You sure” Kaitlin asked

“Yeah”

Ashley walked into Bette’s office. Shane noticed her and waved at her to come in.

“Hey Shane where’s my Mama”

“Right behind you” Bette said as she walked into her office.

“Mama I need advice” Ashley said sitting on Bette’s office chair.

“And on that note I’ll leave you both too it” Shane said smiling and leaving.

“Is everything ok angel” Bette asked sitting on the sofa

“Not really no” Ashley sighed

“Ok then tell me from the start and we will try and sort it” Bette said patting the empty space on the sofa. Ashley got up and walked over taking a seat next to Bette.

“Well today when Kaitlin and I got to school there was a big commotion at the locker hall. Turned out some idiot spray painted dyke all over Jess’s locker. So Kaitlin and I spent the whole day trying to hide it from her but at home time she must have seen it. We were all in separate classes”

“Oh I see…How do you know she seen it sweetheart” Bette asked

“I found her keys on the floor below her locker”

“Have you spoken to her?”

“No she isn’t answering my phone calls” Ashley told

“Ok where do you think she will be” Bette asked

“Probably the beach she goes there to think” Ashley answered

“Let’s go see if we can find her and we will have a chat” Bette said getting her car keys and helping Ashley up.

“Thanks Mama you’re the best I just don’t really know how to handle this” Ashley said hugging Bette
