Christina got outside the hotel lobby and checked the time. It was already 4:30. Usually she came back around 2:00 from the city after going to the gym. Ohh her Mum was going to be pissed off.
Her Mum was a big time lawyer and Thursdays was her only day off. Today was supposed to be a bonding day for them as her Mum hadn't really bothered with her for the past term while she was doing A-Levels.
She checked her phone to see 6 missed calls (all from her Mum) and 3 texts, 2 of them from Amie and one from her Mum saying,
I have no idea where you are, but you better come home within an hour or we'll be having trouble!Christina quickly text back she would be home soon and ran to the tube station. If her Mum told Christina's Dad then she'd be grounded for like the next month. It wasn't like he didn't know she liked working out but she doubted he'd be thrilled that she spent the day swimming with people who were more or less strangers.

"Mum I'm home" Christina shouted as she opened the door.
"You know I've half a mind to tell your father about this who would definitely ground you for the rest of the summer. Or worse send you to the east coast to your aunt!" Her Mum said as she stepped out of the kitchen into the hallway.
"I'm so sorry Mum, Amie was late and then the city was really full," Christina pleaded while actually thinking how there was no point in being home any earlier, its not like her Mum had been home most of the day.
Saying that seemed to work as her Mum went back into the kitchen and left Christina to take a shower.

The rest of the evening was boring as ever and after sitting through a family meal (featuring pissed off Dad and stressy Mum) and some boring TV, Christina finally could go to bed, and although the whole parents situation sucked she couldn't help going to sleep with a smile.
