The drive home was terrifying if nothing else. My hands were trembling at the thought of my mother leaving work early just to yell at me for getting suspended in my senior year. And my dad? I might as well just move to another country while I still can.

I get to the top of my driveway and see my mother's SUV sitting in the driveway. I pull into my spot and step out of the car, walking over to the front door.

"Suspended. Suspended?" I hear my mother ask in outrage as I open the door, "Charlotte what is wrong with you?"

"It wasn't my fault!" I defend myself quickly walking over to the kitchen to grab a drink. Ellie, our nanny, is sitting in the kitchen reading a cooking book, shaking her head in disappointment at me. Ouch.

"Not your fault? I was told you sent around a picture of you in nothing but a towel, and I know my daughter doesn't pull shit like that." She states with an eyebrow raised as she walks into the kitchen with a few papers in her hand.

"I was the girl in the picture, but I didn't know that someone else was going to take the picture. Look, I was just embarrassed in front of the whole school, so I'm really not in the mood for this," I tell her, annoyed.

"I don't give a damn if you're not in the mood for this conversation because it is happening, right now! And cut off the attitude before I cut it off for you!" My mother shouts at me because of my attitude. "Now, explain to me what exactly happened."

"Summer Price happened," I mumble.

"Who the fuck is that?" My mother asks confused. Ellie gets up from the stool and walks over to the oven, opening it gently and I can smell the cookies she's baking.

"Nathan's best friend since childhood, who has a massive crush on him and is trying to get rid of me because of it. She's jealous that he likes me and treats her like a sister or something. She stole my clothes last year and took the picture of me to spread around the whole school. Nobody knew it was me last year but now that I'm with Nathan, she's decided to share that fact with the whole school," I answer straightforward.

"God, I hate high school drama," she groans loudly. "So?"

"So, what?"

"What have you planned to make her back off? You're my child, and Olivia is my honorary child and I know you two have something cooked up in case of emergencies," she shrugs as if it's the most obvious thing.

I open my mouth but nothing comes out and I just stare at her silently.

"I am going to burn that school to the ground if the principal thinks that they can suspend my daughter when she is nothing but a victim! Oh just wait until your father hears about this, he's going to sue before the principal even knows what hit him. And if anything hits him, it will be me!" She shouts, pacing around the room, waving her arms in the air.

"What do you think dad will say? About the picture?" I ask nervously, fiddling with my fingers.

"I think he'll be scarred to see his child in nothing but a towel, knowing no doubt, that the picture has made it into the hands of some very horny high school boys but I'll let you know if you need to hide away once I see your dad's face," she mutters back, walking into the kitchen. "Ellie, we're going to need to prepare the good wine for when Peter gets home from work, I'll make the pork roast that's defrosting."
