“Deal!” Nathan said hugging her

“I’m sorry though” Nathan said

“It’s ok…This time…Report card please” Bette said

“Huh what…Report card I don’t know what your talking about” Nathan mumbled

“Nice try we got a letter through saying your teacher would be issuing it today” Bette smiled

“I forgot about that” Tina laughed

“I hate my teacher” Nathan mumbled toddling over to his school bag

He lifted out the envelope and handed it to Bette sitting on chair opposite the sofa.

Tina sat beside Bette as she opened the letter.

They both took there time reading it. Bette placed it on the table and folded her arms. Tina also folded her arms and they both glared straight at him.

“Care to explain?” Tina said

“Ok Ok stop with the evil eyes I don’t like them” Nathan said

“Your not co operating in maths?” Bette asked

“Well Jess said it wasn’t important and it was a silly subject” Nathan explained

“Oh she did…did she” Bette said lifting the phone

“Hello Alice…Where is Jess…Ok I’ll catch her later…She told Nate maths wasn’t important….Its not funny Alice im not happy one bit…she knows what Nathan is like…Yes…Bye then.”

“She’s at work I’ll catch her later” Bette said

“Nathan your grounded today and tomorrow” Tina said

Nathan looked at Bette.

“Don’t look at me, Leaving skateboards lying about, Failing Maths not doing to good are wee sweetheart…Go tidy your room please.”

Nathan knew there was no point arguing so he just carried on doing what he was told.

Amy, Jacqui and Jess walked in.

“Just the person I’m looking for”

“What me I haven’t done anything” Amy said instantly

“Jess im looking for” Bette said

“Oh cool carry on then” Amy smiled

“Maths isn’t important according to Jess” Bette said

“I can explain Aunty Bette” Jess said

“Oh good because I am so desperate to hear it”

Amy laughed as did Jacqui.

“Told you that one would come back and bite you hard in the ass” Amy said

“You see the thing is Amy was determined to get kids to sign up to the summer programme and was pressuring us all so I told them maths was silly and not to worry bout it, I didn’t think they would listen” Jess said
