Tina’s phone started ringing.

“Jess can you answer that please”
Jess picked up the phone and answered.
“Hello…no this is her daughter speaking she’s actually driving at the minute is their anything I can help with…oh really? Ok if you give us approximately 10 minutes to get there…okay thank you” Jess put Tina’s phone back in her bag “So erm my brother is totally grounded”
“What’s he done?” Tina said through gritted teeth
“He was in a fight and might have called the principal an idiot”
“I beg your pardon” Tina said horrified “He did what?”
Carmen laughed shaking her head
“So you need to collect him”
“This is just what I need I have work in an hour!”
“Oh no problem I’ll be home all day monitoring my fiancée” Jess smirked “X-box on your bed with his controllers and plug of his TV I know the drill”
“Yes because you lived his life when you were his age” Carmen muttered
“Your Mama is going to flip; He’s just of a grounding”
“Mum he’s 12 that’s what they do” Jess laughed

Tina walked into the school and straight to the principles office.

“Mrs Kennard Porter nice to see you” The secretary said
“Mum…I” Mason began
“Don’t even Mason…Explain to your Mama” Tina snapped

“Tina nice to see you please come in” The principle said opening his office door
“I’m so sorry I had to call you to get him, I’ve sent the boy he was fighting with home also, to be honest I was on Mason’s corner up until he felt the need to express I was an idiot” The principle smirked
“I am so very sorry about that, I will be making sure he is punished” Tina stated “Can I just ask why?”
“I’m not to sure myself, he was annoyed at the fact I separated them”
“Oh I bet” Tina smirked “Thank you I will be making sure he understands the consequences of his actions”
“He’s welcome to return back tomorrow as long as he’s in a better mood” The principle smiled “Send Bette my regards”
“I will do” Tina smiled shaking his hand before leaving the office

Mason stood up

“Car…go…Now!” Tina snapped
Mason put his head down and walked towards the exit

He got in the back of the car and put his seatbelt on.

Tina got in right behind him.

“I have to go to work if I hear you have given Jess any grief when I’m going I will personally turn your x-box into a bouncy ball is that clear!”
“Crystal” Mason answered
“Your room also better be sparkling by the time your Mama finishes work!”
“Understood” Mason answered again
Tina stopped at the police station so Carmen could drop her sick note into her boss. The 10 minutes outside was silent Jess didn’t dare to wind Mason up or set Tina off, she knew the boundaries.
“Jess can you make sure his homework is done too please”
“Yep” Jess smiled “And if I don’t Lisa will she finishes at 2”
