Aurora pov

"It's a buck 50 up front. When you get your SAT results bac and see how great Lip did its another buck 50" Karen explained as her, Ian, Lip and I stood in front of Oompa

"And we do this today?" he asked looking between us, "No. Today's session is booked. Three weeks" I said looking at him

"So i sit next to you while you take the test?" he asked as Ian shook his his, "No. He's pretending to be you. You cant be there"

"Why would they think you're me?" He chuckled a little, "Well, ill have an ID that says that i am you" Lip explained

"But what if they ask me for my ID?"

"Im going to make a fake ID"

"B-but I'm tall" he said as we all looked at each other, "Yeah, that's just a chance we're just gonna have to take"

"Saturday night. What time can i pick you up?" he asked looking at Karen after handing Lip the money, "Seven" she smiled

"Done"

"You're dating Oompa now?" Lip asked looking at her, "He doesn't talk. Its fun" she smiled a little before we walked into the school

"So you guys going to the parent-teacher conference?" Karen asked looking between us, we were in the bathroom smoking

Lip and Ian laughed, "No"

"Need  a parents for that, dont you?"

"How about you, Ro?" Karen asked as i shrugged, "I think Kev is coming"

"Hey, Louise got an A on the paper you wrote for her English class. How do you keep doing that?" Karen asked looking at Lip

"Well... to master the art of the book report... you just take an novel, no matter when it was written.. and you argue that the main character is a latent homosexual. No, seriously, seriously. Now, most English teachers are either gay and agree.. or they're straight, but too scared to disagree and get labeled as intolerant" He smiled as the door opened

"Eighteen seventy!" Double F smiled coming in as Lip handed me the join, "All right" Lip smiled dabbing him up

"Thanks, man. Appreciate it"

"Perfect for the Big Ten. Happy to help, man"

"You more than helped. Now ill definetly be a beer swilling, roofie slipping, Fighting Illini next year. All right?"

"All right" we nodded, "Awesome"

"What happened, Tire? Not satisfied with your results?" Lip asked looking at him, "Haven't come back yet"

"Any day now" Ian nodded, "I better not look stupid" he said looking at Lip, "Impossible"

"Hey, listen, there's one last testing session this year, so tell your friends" Ian said as Tire looked at him, "Dont tell me what to do" he said shaking his head before leaving

"Why do we help people we hate" Karen sighed leaning against the window, "I believe we're just taking out cut from American foreign policy" Lip nodded as i put out the joint before leaving

"Aurora Miller, and you're her dad?" Mr. Shepp asked looking between Kevin and I, "Uh, yeah. Her dad" he nodded

"Well, Aurora is a smart girl, adapted very fast since moving here. So far has straight A's and no missed days. The only thing i wanna say is she's been hanging around the Gallagher boy's, they aren't really a good influence. So i recommend she stops handing out with them if you want her to keep her good grades and no missed days. I understand she just moved her and might not have a lot of friends, but there are better well mannered people in this school to hang around, they can help her with her grades and more"

"Can i just say that Lip is one of the smartest people i know, he got the highest grade on the SAT test, and he's been helping me with my own work, he's a good influence, and honestly so is Ian, they might not have the best grades or never missed a day, but i haven't missed a day and I've been handing out with them ever since i moved here. So i dont think they have any influence on my grades or attending days. Now if you'll excuse us Mrs. Anna wanted us to be there a few minutes ago, so we're gonna go talk to her" I smiled grabbing my bag and Kev's hand

"Auro-"

"Bye!" I smiled waving

"You dont have a teacher named Anna" Kevin said confused as i waved him off, "I just wanted to leave. Really hoping Frank came through for Carl and he doesn't get suspended" i sighed a little as he put his arm around me

"I know, baby, i know" he smiled kissing the top of my head as we walked over to Lip, Carl, Steve, Fiona, and Debbie

"Daddy!" Debbie smiled looking at Frank as Lip put his arm around my waist

"Debbie we gotta go" Fiona smiled despite seeing Frank with Karen, when he couldn't even come for his own kid

"I wanna say hi to Daddy" Debbie smiled looking at Fiona, before looking back at Frank, "Daddy!" she yelled catching Franks attention

"Hello, pumpkin" he said as we ran over to her, "Karen, what's going on?" Lip asked looking at her

"Well, you said you never come to these, so i thought you weren't gonna come... and, uh, so i asked Frank to stand in for my worthless father" she explained

"Did they expel Carl?" Frank asked as Carl frowned a little, "What did i tell you? Drama and threats, all for naught" he chuckled as Fiona looked at me with visible tears in her eyes

"Come on, guys. Let's go" Fiona said grabbing Carl and Debbie's hands as Steve followed, "Bye, daddy" Debbie waved

"Yeah, see you"

"I know your parents are getting a divorce, Karen, but your dad isn't nearly as bad as theirs, and its kinda messed up that you had him come in for you, when Carl really needed him" I spoke looking at her as she sighed, "I gotta go" I added before turning and leaving

"Carl, we're serious. The stakes are really, really high. We love you and we need you in this family, in this house. You need to stop biting and punching and hurting people" Fiona explained as we all sat around Carl

"Well, how else do i make them cry?" Carl sighed, "Gossip and slander" Lip said as i nodded

"You know, when i get really angry, i usually just count to 10" Steve said as we all looked at him before looking away

"Hey, little man, tell you what we'll do. We're gonna get you some pads and skates, get you out on the ice. Take your frustration out with a hockey stick" Lip said as Ian nodded

"Yeah, you can come to karate with me. Remember when i broke Kyle's leg? Took three pins to put it back together" Ian added

"You cant beat karate when it comes to regulated, sanctioned violence for children" Debbie smiled, "And ill teach you to ice skate so you dont bust your ass while playing hockey" I smiled as he looked at me

"Will you wear one of those small ice skating outfits?" he asked as i pat his leg, "Only if you stay in school"
