“Is she? “Tina asked breaking off and moving round the table
“Yes – she’s struggling you know “
“”How? “
“I haven’t told you this “
“Okay – you haven’t told me anything “
“Her work – she’s finding it hard – she is really behind on her essays “
“How behind?”
“When is Senate Deadline?”
Tina raised her eyebrows “End of week 3 – all work must be submitted by then or it will not be considered for that student’s year markings “
Dana shrugged “She has a huge maths assignment that she hasn’t handed in –that was
supposed to keep her busy over Easter – she didn’t take it away with her. She has a 3000 word book review of some ancient classic that it about 600 pages – she hasn’t read the book and she didn’t hand in any Sociology papers last term “
“NONE!! “
“Ssssh – keep your voice down Tina “
Tina looked across – Bette and Lara were both reading – she looked back at Dana and took a couple of steps further away from them
“How can she not have handed in any essays – she wants to major in Sociology and English?”
“I have no idea – I cannot work out how she can do Maths and English – that’s weird – how can Alice be a maths wiz?”
“How can she not be doing her assignments?”
Dana smiled “Not everyone is as diligent as you and Bette “
“Diligent has got nothing to do with it – we get assignments and we just get on with them – how many things have you got left to hand in?”
“Two papers and I have written one of them – just not very tidy. Have you seen my handwriting Tina? Its shockingly bad – I’m typing it up in the library and I am NOT the fastest typist in the world “
Tina grinned
“How can she get so behind – what happened last term?”
“She just got caught up with the band and with lazing around with Helena and Shane. She gets up late – usually missing her 9am lectures – she’s only gone to 4 of her 10am maths lectures. She spends hours in here and when everyone goes to do some work – she goes for a nap “

Bring in on you P sisters. This is gonna be good!
Bette was right to stand up to Peggy Helena is an adult and should be treated like one. Being a Peabody Peggy wants to hold Helena to a higher standard, but she is human and we all make mistakes. Granted some mistakes are a lot worse than others but Hel is owning up to what she did and accepting the punishment and that’s got to count for something.Can the woman have some peace for a while?
There are few things that make you feel as bad as letting someone down who means a lot to you. Peggy needs to realise that, and maybe also realise that she’s letting Helena down by being so unforgiving. Glad Bette stood up for Hels. Will she be able to help Alice too, or let her sink or swim on her own? Very good chap, ally. Thanks
At some point Alice must realize that she is being terribly self-destructive. Peggy rally needs to lighten up with Helena after all she is an adult and is learning her lesson albeit a little late. Peggy should give her a little latitude here and allow her to make amends as the Court suggests and for her to have learned a very hard lesson and change her major to something she truly enjoys and then she will be very successful.

WOW that was awesome and Im with jp22, and let see more, thanks!
To sweet to be true, Peggy was to sweet with Helena and now even Bette and Tina will get a talk! But Peggy needs to understand Helena and Helena deserve a punishment in order to think twice what she will do. Hope you are feeling better! thanks for the post
Too bad Peggy has so little prior experience as a mother. There does come a time when you need to stop or what you are trying to do becomes counterproductive. What’s with Alice? The real problem with trailer trash is that they attract tornados. You don’t seem to get those in Britain so often, so do chavs bring other forms of bad weather there?
I really like how Bette stood up to Peggy about why the drugs thing was never mentioned. Some blood-related siblings would have no problems tattling on each other. It’s also bad enough to feel like you’re being compared to someone you know is better than you at one thing or another, but to constantly be told, and by your own parent! Well it just blows my mind. Alice needs to get off her ass.
bring it on. wow bette was such a dyke!! feels good to do stuff like that. thanks.
Fantastic chapter, Ally !! If I were the one to decide, I could give you an award for this chapter alone, you sooo deserve it ! Great job !
WOW!!! So glad Bette got right back in Peggy’s face. Peggy needs to back off and give Helena room to grow up. People make mistakes and learn from them I just hope Helena does. Thanks Ally
Hello Ally, Another fabulous chapter from you, I loved the build up as Bette and Tina talked things through. They truly love Helena and want whats best for her. Sometimes loving someone is having the courage of letting them make mistakes and grow from them. This is exactly the complex emotional journey that life is. You alway keep it real. Alice really is struggling with college work but too embarrassed to admit it so I hope that Bette can get her to knuckle down and get the job done. She has the ability just not the motivation. I liked that Tina and Dana tried to sort this out but so far it has fallen on deaf ears. Now the punishments doled out on the gals were to be expected. Sad that this case revealled Helena’s first brush with the law to Peggy. I was really happy to see Bette defend her sister to Peggy. I do think that they did the best that they could in untenable conditions. Nothing would have been gained from Peggy’s involvement at that time. Pity is tha Helena is the one really suffering here as she is beating herself up about disappointing them all. Now I can’t wait to see where this leads to. Helena needs to follow her heart and find her path in life. Maybe she will meet someone during her community service. Ally, as always your wonderful words put me through the spectrum of human emotions. From joy to despair, from humor to seriousness and form love to hate. Thank you as ever for continuing this must read story. Your Loyal Fan.
