Playing with trouble *T. Clarkson*

Grace stumbled into the house and sighed. She had been out drinking with Bolton and her friends from school.

Addison stood in the doorway and glared. "I want your phone. I want everything from you," she said.

"What? No way!"

"Grace. It is 3am. You're up in 3 hours for school. So I suggest you hand over everything and then get to bed."

Grace shook he head and glared. "No chance. You're not taking my stuff from me mum. I'll be lost," she said.

Addison glared to her. "I want it now. Or I swear you're grounded for three months instead of one."

Grace sighed. "You're such a bitch."

"And you're a brat. Yet I'm not complaining. Bed."

Grace woke a few hours later to Addison banging pans. She groaned. "You're gonna wake me up!" She yelled.

"That's the point!"

"And what about Bella?!"

Addison walked into the room. "Bella stayed elsewhere last night. I don't know where. But I've had Max Tyler on the phone."

Grace smirked as she sat up. She knew how she was the one who took the photo of Max and Rachel. And she had no shame on it either.

"And what did his royal pompous arse want?"

"Never you mind. Up and ready. I'm taking you to school today. I want to have a talk with Miss Mason."

Grace groaned again. She sighed as she looked to her mum. "You really are the worst."

"I could be worse. Up and move."

***
Grace went into school. She saw Bella and walked over. "Where did you stay?" She asked.

Bella sighed. "I slept with some guy. And no. Not Max before you even think that," she said.

"Well mum has taken everything off me. I didn't get back till 3 this morning. And she's having a word with Miss Mason," Grace told her.

Bella nodded. "Yeah. She wants to get you extra tuition. She thinks you're falling behind."

Grace rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe her mum. And how she didn't trust her. She hated it all.

Grace looked to her sister. "Please can you try and stop her. I don't need extra credit lessons. Please."

Bella groaned. She looked to her. "You genuinely will be the death of me. Seriously."

Grace grinned as she looked to her. "I'm your favourite sister."

"Get lost."

***
Grace was sitting in the common room. She smiled as Tom walked in. "I hear your mum has been up today. What you done?"

"Nothing. She wants me to have extra lessons. And I don't want that. So my sister being the best sister she is, is sorting," Grace said.

Tom laughed. "What if I said they were with me?"

"Sorry. No. I'm too busy having a life."

***
Grace walked through the school. She saw Max Tyler and smirked. "Rachel and Max. Sitting in a tree," she said as she walked right past him.

"What?"

"Oh nothing. I heard about your relationship with Miss Mason. I'm happy for you. I really am," she told him.

Max glared. "Listen you little brat. I will find out the truth behind that photo. Your sister isn't stupid enough to take one. I will find out. And I will ruin you," Max said.

"Threats? Ooo big man."

Grace walked past and smirked. But she had no idea the war she had started with Max Tyler.
