Chapter 3 – School songs

Lucy cursed quietly to herself. As soon as she got through this lecture Penny was in deep trouble. He phone beeped in her pocket but she ignored it.

It might be Ash; she thought which sent a thrill through her. The yelling continued but she couldn’t help but feel an excitement growing within her. Between her dad and her brother the lecture kept going endlessly until she finally couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Give me a break you two.” She said loudly which made them both stop abruptly and look at her “Either punish me or let me go. She grabbed the keys off me so maybe you should be lecturing her about this not me!”

“Nobody is getting punished Lucy but if it happens again and I’m in uniform I’m going to have to arrest her.” Her brother Daz said sternly.

“Then how the bloody hell is this my problem?” Lucy demanded.

“Watch your language.” Her father said.

“I just wanted you to know okay. Now why don’t you explain exactly why she was driving away from you? Did you have an argument?” Daz asked concern in his eyes while her Dad looked highly amused.

“No, she left me at a guy’s house.” She muttered.

“What one of your mates?” Daz asked curiously and her father was trying to stifle a laugh while Lucy glared at him.

“Uh no. He’s um new to town.” Lucy shifted uncomfortably.

“Daz I think that’s enough, leave the poor girl alone.” Her father finally came to her rescue and Lucy sighed with relief.

“You are staying home for the rest of the today though.” Daz said abruptly.

“Oh come on! It’s not my fault. I hope she’s getting into trouble too.” Lucy huffed and Daz nodded.

“Of course she is.”

“Great I’m going now if we are done with this conversation.” She slashed her hand at them and marched out of the room.

Her father watched her go as he brushed his silvery hair back off his face and chuckled. He turned to his tall, burly son and prepared to inform him that his little sister had found a boy she liked. This was not going to go well.

Lucy meanwhile stormed in the direction of her sister’s room ready to return the lecture she was just given. Instead her phone beeped again. In irritation she yanked the phone out only to stop dead in her movement on getting revenge on her sister.

‘So are you doomed to be trapped in your house forever?’ Was the message and she knew it was from Ash.

‘Nope just today.’ She texted back.

‘Good’ He returned.

“So I wonder who you’re talking too.” Penny exclaimed from behind her, completely distracting her.

“Penny! You are in so much trouble.” Lucy gave her a deadly look making her back away as quickly as possible.

“Well if you hadn’t have run away from him I wouldn’t have took the car.” Penny argued back “How did it go by the way?”

“Um good.” Lucy lost all her fight as she thought back to Ash.

She had a surprisingly great time, no matter how brief it was. Lucy was actually starting to look forward to seeing him again, which was unusual for her. She was used to guys that were just her mates. They hung out, played footie but never actually sat and talked with her as Ash had.
