So here we are in the boys kitchen being lectured by our mums. "Harvey why did you get suspended?" Sara asked him. "I don't even know". He said laughing. "I'm ringing up the school". She said taking her phone and going out into the hallway. "Mum". I looked at her. "I didn't do anything". She looked at me with a serious face. "When we get home you are grounded". She said before going out the kitchen and into the hallway with Sara. I couldn't help but cry. Max hugged me and harvey just went upstairs. "I didn't do anything". I sobbed. "I know". He said putting his chin on the top of my head. "This means I won't be allowed out of the house. Not even to come here". I said pulling away. "She can't ban you from coming here. We're also suspended". He said laughing wiping my tears. "And my mums her best friend". He proved. "Maybe". I shrugged "see". He said smiling. "Nevermind your not grounded". My mum said as both our mums came back in and harvey came in aswell. "Your still suspended but I don't know why so we're going into school for a meeting about this". Sara explained. "They both threw the first hits". Harvey explained. "Yeah and he didn't touch anyone". I said pointing at harvey. "He hasn't got a reason to be suspended". Max said laughing. "Grace I need to talk to you". My mum said looking at her phone. "K". I said as we went into the living room to talk. "My work has offered me a learning course in London and I'm gonna be there for a week so while your suspended basically. I'm gonna have a word with Sara and see if you can stay here". She said. "Wicked". I shrugged. We went back to the kitchen and my mum asked Sara. "Of course she can". Sara said smiling. "Where's she gonna sleep?" Harvey asked. "That's a good question". Sara said. "I have an airbed I can bring and she can stay in one of the boys room or in tillys room". My mum said. "Ok yeah". Sara shrugged. "Let's go missy". My mum said getting her car keys out her pocket. I nodded and we left to go home so I could pack some things. "Is there anything you think your gonna need from here?" My mum asked pulling into a tescos car park. "Like what?" I asked. "Anything, new clothes, bathroom supplies etc". She said finding a space. "Maybe". I shrugged undoing my seatbelt and getting out the car pulling my skirt down since it had rivaled up a little. We went inside and I got myself a new pair of pyjamas, some shampoo since we were running out anyways and some sanitary products just In case.

We got home and i packed my suitcase and my mum got the airbed from the loft. I put some bedding into a bag and put my things into the car. "Ok you ready?" She asked finishing her drink. "Yeah". I said tying my shoe laces since I also got changed out of my uniform. "Alright let's go". She said unlocking the front door and then unlocking her car. I got in and we went back to the mills house. Max and harvey helped me to take my things upstairs. "Your staying in my room". Tilly said grinning. "Fun! A sleepover for a whole week". I said picking her up. "Yeah!" She said as we went back downstairs. "Alright I've got to go, be good and ill see you next sunday". Mum said hugging me. "I will". I said laughing as tilly dragged me to the kitchen. Sara saw her out then came back to the kitchen. "What do you lot fancy for dinner?" She asked. "Pasta!" Tilly said jumping. "Sounds alright to me". I said shrugging. "Tomato pasta?" She asked. We all agreed and me and tilly went into the garden and on the trampoline. The boys joined us and we all bounced tilly. Tilly decided to go in to get out of her school uniform so the boys did some backflips I tried to do a handstand and ended up falling down. The boys laughed. "Dinners done!" Sara said from the kitchen. We all got off the trampoline and went in to get our food. We decided to go back out and eat it on the trampoline. "Do you think Dylan and cassidy also go suspended?" I asked. "Probably". Max shrugged with a mouthful off pasta. "If they didn't then I'd be so pissed". I said laughing. "What do you both wanna do after we've eaten?" I asked. "I might just go upstairs and chill". Harvey said shrugging. "Same". Max said. "Does Paul and Sara let you go out?" I asked. "Curfews 9:15". Harvey said finishing his. "Then how about we go out?" I suggested getting my phone and messaging the groupchat suggesting that we all go out. "I mean it's not gonna be dark for another 2 hours so we could do". Max said shrugging. "Kim and Emily can't but dobby, Ellie. Kaylee and Tom can". Harvey said checking his messages. "Lake?" Max suggested. Me and harvey nodded and we finished our bowls then went inside and put them in the dishwasher before we left. We met up with the guys at the lake and all the boys jumped in. "Jesus christ". I said laughing. Me and the girls just sat on the edge on our phones. Kaylee ended up being pulled in by dobby and Ellie got pulled in by harvey. "Nuh uh". I warned max. "Wasn't planning on it". He said putting his hands up in defense. I connected my phone up to dobbys speaker and played some music. The sun was almost down after an hour and a half of us being out so we decided to head home. Me max and harv went back to theirs the opposite direction where the others went since they lived on the other side of the feild. When we got back the boys had to go shower so I sat in the living room with Sara on my phone while she watched tv. Tilly came down a little later. "Tilly why are you up?" Sara asked. "I wanted to see grace". She said sitting beside me. "Also I can't sleep". She said laying Down and putting her head on My lap. "Well you could watch tv for half an hour then see if you fall asleep". Sara suggested. "Can I have some tea?" She asked. "No but you can have some warm milk". Sara said getting up and going into the kitchen just as max came down with just a towel wrapped round his waist and his hair dripping wet. "For god sake max". I said laughing. "What?" He asked. "You couldn't put I dunno a pair of joggers on?" I asked. "I am I just came down to get my deodorant from my bag". He said getting his bag from the couch and getting his deodorant. "Why aren't you sleeping?" He asked tilly. "I couldn't sleep". She said. "Sara's making her some milk". I said stroking her hair. "K". He said shaking his head causing me to get wet. "Max!" Tilly said getting up and hitting him. "Wha- Tilly no". He said walking into the kitchen with her following him. I laughed and followed them. As I walked in Sara had chucked a tea towel at max for him to dry his hair. Tilly was sat on the worktop drinking her milk. Max went upstairs to get changed. "Have you been sent some work to do yet?" Sara asked me making some hot chocolates for me and the boys. "Not yet". I said shrugging. "All this was over some stupid rumour that max...16 year old max...slept with someone?"She asked scoffing. "Yep. And were the ones getting suspended just cause I pushed the dude away after he punched max". I explained. "It's ridiculous". She said laughing. "Paul's done your bed by the way". I smiled as she gave me my drink. "Honestly I don't think max would even go for the girl he apparently slept with". I said trying to find a picture of her. I found one and showed her. "Oh god no". She said causing us both to laugh. "And now people are also trying to say that me and max are a couple". I remembered. "Seriously?" She asked. "Yeah". I said laughing. "The visions there". She said shamlessly going over to the sink. "What- No!" I said laughing again. "I mean I do think he's got a small crush on you. One of the boys has once in their time knowing you I can guarantee it". She said putting a mug into the dishwasher. "I do think max likes me but I just don't see us dating". I said shrugging. "It's mufti day at school tommorow". Tilly said smiling. "Is it?" I asked. "Yes!" She said kicking her feet. "Should we go upstairs and try to find you a cute outfit?" I asked. She nodded and jumped down from the the worktop and ran upstairs. I left my drink and went with her we got to her room and I turned on her big light while she opened her wardrobe. "What is the theme if you have one?" I asked looking through her clothes. "I think it's blue since its for a diabetes thing". Sara said joining us on her phone. "Ok. Do you want a dress or top and bottoms?" I asked. "I have a really nice blue dress". She said pointing to a dress on a hanger. It was a nice poofy dress. "This is a little too extra don't you think tills?" Sara said laughing. "Yeah. What about these?" I pulled out a cute denim skirt and a blue long sleeved top. She pointed at the skirt and nodded then pointed at the top and shook her head. "Ok let's change the top". I said looking in her wardrobe again. "What about this?" I found a white shirt and her blue max and harvey Jersey jacket. She immediately nodded. "Ok...now do you want tights or socks?" I asked putting her outfit on a hanger and hanging it on her door. "Tights". She said. "White?" I asked holding up a pair of white tights. "Yes!" She said nodding. "Ok shoes". I said moving to her small collection of shoes. "I don't think you've got any blue shoes tills". Sara said. "How about black boots?" I suggested. She shook her head and tapped a pair of white boots. "Or the white boots fair enough actually". I said putting them with her outfit. "Ok that's that sorted then. I can do your hair in the morning". I said going to my suitcase and getting out my new pyjamas. I went into the bathroom to get changed since harvey wasn't in there anymore. It smelt like men. I changed and then went back to tills bedroom to get my Toiletries and then went back and brushed my teeth and took my makeup off. I put my things back in my suitcase as Sara put Tilly back to bed. I went down to where max was in the conservatory playing on the xbox. "You ok?" He asked as I sat beside him. "Yep". I said turning My phone on and scrolling through snapchat.
