LATRELLE TYLER POV

NEXT DAY

It's Saturday again which means that it's time to switch households. And I'm glad too because I can't stand being grounded anymore. At least I won't be grounded over at Grace's house.

Things have been kinda peaceful these last couple of days. I haven't been questioned by anybody, and Olivia and Jordan haven't argued at all.

That's because they've been completely avoiding each other. Olivia's been too busy with Asher and Jordan's been too busy with Chloe.

As for me, I've been spending as much time as I possibly can with Monse at school since I'm grounded. I also noticed that Cesar's bitch ass hasn't bothered her after that talk I had with him. I guess I scared him off.

In conclusion, life is kinda good right now. Kinda.

I grabbed my bags and walked downstairs. "I'm out!"

Olivia waved at me. "See you on Monday."

I nodded and of course dad had to mess up the moment. "Latrelle, behave. And you best believe that Grace is going to ground you too."

"Seriously?!"

"Yup. That's the only way to keep your ass safe." Dad waved me away. "You can go now."

I sucked my teeth and left. I hate this family.

Spencer opened the door for me. "Hey L."

I rushed into the house. "Where's Coop?"

"Damn. I can't even get a hi back?"

"Hi Spencer," I said dryly. "Where's Coop?"

Spencer rolled his eyes and closed the door. "Upstairs in her room looking at her bruised neck. You still didn't tell us who did that to her, by the way."

"And I'm not going to." And then I rushed upstairs.

"YOU'RE GROUNDED, BY THE WAY!" Spencer reminded me.

Yeah whatever.

I went to my old bedroom and saw Coop touching her neck in the mirror. "Coop?"

Coop jumped like crazy, touching her chest while breathing heavily. She relaxed when she saw that it was just me. "Oh, you scared me."
