trouble

same universe as christmas morning except hope is now 13 instead of 7!

"mom it's not that big of a deal!" hope says storming into their house after her angry mother.

"yes it is! that's against your teacher's rules and your school's rules! you almost got suspended!" maya says annoyed as she sets her bags down.

"you're making such a big deal for no reason. so many of my friends do it and their parents don't care so why do you?"

"you don't get it do you? that kind of shit gives you a reputation, hope!"

"okay! we get it! i did something bad shut up about it already!" hope shouts.

"you do not talk to me like that young lady." maya says narrowing her eyes at her daughter.

"where's daddy? i wanna talk to him." she says crossing her arms.

"your father is at work where i should be but no i had to come and get my delinquent daughter from middle school!" she says waving her hands around.

"you're so dramatic." she says rolling her eyes.

"hope lesly friar, go to your room. i don't wanna see you till your father comes home." maya says sternly.

"i hate you!" hope shouts running to her room and slamming the door shut. maya groans and sits on the couch throwing her head into her hands.

a couple hours later, lucas walks through the door with his bags.

"hello my love. how was your day at work?" he asks kissing her forehead.

"i wouldn't know! i was barely there for an hour before i got called by the school and had to pick up your daughter!" she says in an annoyed tone.

"is she okay? what happened?" he asks worried.

"oh she's perfect! she got in trouble today!"

"what did she do?"

"she cheated on a very important test!"

"oh lord. where is she?"

"in her room. i told her not to come out till you got here."

"why did you do that?"

"because i'm mad at her and i don't wanna see her. she was rude to me and she had attitude."

"maya, she's your daughter. you can't just ignore her when you get mad at her."

"and why not?" maya asks crossing her arms.

"because she's literally just like you. she could have snuck out, she may not even be in there right now." lucas says sighing. maya's eyes soften and her arms uncross.

"go check on her please." she says softly. lucas smiles at her and kisses her forehead before going to see his teenage daughter. he knocks on the door and then opens it to see his daughter crying softly.

"hey tiny." he says sitting down on the edge of her bed.

"hi daddy." she sniffles.

"you wanna tell me what happened today?" he asks.

"i'm sure mom already told you."

"yes she did but i wanna hear your side of the story. so hope, tell me what happened."

"well today we had a big test in math and you know that i'm bad at math. so during one of the problems i just glanced at my neighbor's test and it looked right so i just wrote it down."
