Bette walked into Tina’s office
“That song Jess recorded yesterday well she just failed music!” Bette said
“You’re kidding” Tina said
“No she told Louise she didn’t do it”
“She did I heard it” Tina stated putting down her pen
“Louise made her do it in class however by this point Jess had heard Carmen’s song and I brought them for you to here”
“Do I want to hear them?” Tina asked taking the CD’s from Bette and putting the first one into her laptop
“Ouch” Tina said “I don’t imagine Jess would have took to that at all”
Tina put the next one in. “That’s not the song she wrote yesterday”
“That’s the one she handed in and then walked out the class!” Bette said
“Oh very good” Tina “this is the song she recorded yesterday”
Bette listened and then shook her head “Can you put that onto a disk for me so I can give it to Louise I don’t think she will”
“She’ll flip Bette”
“Well its either that our she fails she’ll thank me in the long run” Bette said “What we going to do Tina?”
“Were both going to need to sit down and speak to her, I genuinely don’t think she know wither she’s coming or going” Tina said “And to be honest neither does Carmen”
“Yeah okay baby I’ll see you at home” Bette said getting up she leaned over kissing Tina softly “I love you”
“I’ll bring the disks home with me” Tina said
Later that night…
“Lisa can you tell your sister we want her please” Tina asked
“Ok after that I’m going to go to Jace’s for an hour, ok thanks” Lisa said running up the stairs
Lisa returned back down the stairs.
“Do you have your phone?” Bette asked
“Yes I do, I will only be an hour I promise” Lisa smiled kissing them both on the cheek
Jess walked down stairs with her pyjamas on.
“We need to have a chat”
“I bet” Jess sighed sitting on the chair
“That song you recorded isn’t the one I heard” Tina said
“Yes but if you heard Carmen’s song you wouldn’t hand it in either”
“You’ve failed music now!” Bette said “Honey that’s your best subject and you could pass it with your eyes closed”
“I don’t even care anymore” Jess said
“Walking out of school what’s that all about?” Tina asked
“Would you stay somewhere to get humiliated?” Jess asked
“Ok no I wouldn’t, I’ll give you that one” Tina agreed
“Yes okay I’d have probably reacted like that too” Bette said “Honey you can’t let this ruin your future”
“Mama I’m going to pass my exams I promise I’ve been working on my work since I got home” Jess sighed “I just need people to remain out my face”
“Ok” Bette said defeated
“Can I go back to my room now please?” Jess asked
“Yes you can” Tina smiled
Jess got up and walked up the stairs.
“No point grounding her, she’d probably appreciate it” Tina said
“Yeah I agree and taking her guitar wouldn’t even phase her right now” Bette said “I think she’s being punished enough to be honest”
