"Thanks for the ride," Tasha said, unbuckling herself. 

"No probs, maybe we could carpool more often? I'm not too far from here." Amy looked hesitant about asking as Tasha got out the car but the brunette in a leather jacket just grinned bigger, shutting the door, speaking through the open window. 

"That'd be amazing," she patted the car, "see you at school tomorrow." 

They waved and Tasha made her way to the door. But firstly checking the back of the blue car for her bag but surprisingly not seeing it there, maybe one of the boys had moved it. Blowing out some air she entered the house which was already filled with noise. 

Tasha shrugged off her jacket and hung it on a hook, rolling up her sleeves as she got a little warm. Before she got anywhere near going up the stairs, Katherine came round the corner smiling, "hey! How was your day?" 

Tash smiled, "good, made a few friends, Amy gave me a ride home actually and I only had to awkwardly introduce myself three times," the elder woman chuckled. 

"Oh honey, it'll all calm down soon I'm sure." 

Both heads snapped to kitchen when they heard a crash and Katherine was already looking to inquire, "we'll catch up more later, you can tell me everything!" Tasha chuckled as Katherine went into full mom mode and she jogged up the stairs. 

Strangely, the stairs to the attic had already been pulled down so clearly someone had gone up there. Tash went up and found nothing out of the ordinary, but thankfully her bag laid on her bed and after checking it, nothing seemed to be missing. Nathan or Danny must've brought it up here for her. 

Grabbing her laptop, she decided to get started on some homework and wanted to go sit outside whilst it was still bright. So after going down, shutting the attic behind her, she made her way through the house, saying a quick hello to George who was heading back out to the orchard and just narrowly missing colliding with Lee on his skateboard. 

Her ears picked up Cole yelling at the TV and she rolled her eyes, he was in her bad books after leaving Jackie at school. She glanced over as she walked past, seeing Isaac, Danny and Cole all sat out in front of the game. But didn't look too long as she didn't want to give them the satisfaction. 

Walking out the back door and onto the porch, Tasha settled down into one of the many outdoor sofas and opened her laptop. Already beginning to pull up the online work that had been set, also looking through spark notes for her book report. The seventeen year old got rather sucked into her task and didn't even notice when someone was stood right in front of her. 

A tap on her shoulder had her letting out a startled shout. Her eyes flickered to Parker, who she hadn't really spoken to since they arrived, "oh my gosh," she placed a hand on her chest and laughed, "you scared me."
