"Mum, im home!" Noah exclaimed loudly as she walked through the front door of her house. She dumped her beige bag, which was filled with her school books, down onto the stairs and walked into the brightly lit kitchen.

She sighed. "Hello? Mum? ". God she's on the phone again?! Noah's mum waved a hello and her dad gave her a weak smile.

"Look. Please-just oh never mind." Noah's mum protested to through her mobile phone, then hastily hung up.

"Hiya, hunny, how was your day?" Noah's mum, Abby asked. Noah shrugged, more curious about who was on the phone. Best not to ask, she thought to herself. Abby sat down at the breakfast bar.

"So are you and Grace doing you're tradition as normal?"

Noah nodded excitedly and sat by her mum. "Is that okay?"

Her mum smiled, she liked it when her daughter had freedom to meet up with friends "I don't see why it wouldn't be . You know i really do think Grace is a very good influence on you. Hopefully you to can stay friends throughout college."

Noah smiled weakly. "Mhm..."

"Oh, and speaking of college, Noah you're now 17..." Abby's voice trailed off slightly.

Oh crap here we go....

"Its about time that you start solidifying the colleges you want to got to. You know by the time you sister was 17, she-"

"Mum, when are you gonna stop comparing me and Holly? We're two completely opposite people!" Noah butted in, annoyed.

"Sweetie, i know, i know. It would just be nice if you looked at your sister as a role model. She's on her 3rd year of med school, and she's maintaining a stable relationship. Also she graduated top of her class-"

"MUM okay okay! I get it." Noah butted in again wanting her mum just to shut up.

Abby sighed. "Your brother, however, is a different story." She shook her blonde head.

"What'd he do now?"

"I just got an E-mail from his teacher... His grades are getting low. And she's worried he may fail mock exams. It's my fault i knew he wouldn't be able to juggle grades and football... Go and get him will you?" Abby said with her head in her hands.

Noah rolled her eyes. "Sure." Noah walked out the brightly lit kitchen and towards the narrow, wooden staircase. When she was up the stairs, she came to a battered door, and went straight in.

"Oh my Jesus of Suburbia! (yes i love Green Day)" Noah cried. She was staring at her brother taking photos of himself without his t-shirt on.

"GEEZ, NOAH! EVER HEARD OF KNOCKIN'?!" Noah's younger brother spat at her.

"Well, i'd never thought i would find my 15 year old younger brother- doing whatever the hell you're doing!"

"Excuse you, punk, but im nearly 16"

Noah rolled her deep blue eyes "Yeah, whatever. Put a shirt on, Mum wants to talk to you."

"About?" Noah's brother, Ryan asked, while walking through a massive pile of clothes.

"Your grades" Noah smirked.

"Shit...Is she mad?" he asked worriedly.

"Not really. She's blaming herself because she let you play football." Noah explained. Ryan sighed and they both headed into the landing and back down the narrow staircase. Ryan went straight through into the kitchen. Noah heard the front door open and then close and spun round.

"Holly!" She exclaimed looking up at her older sister.

"Hey, sis!" Holly exclaimed back, embracing her in a big hug.

"What are you doing here?" Noah asked.

"Why wouldn't i be here? It's spring break!"

"I just thought you would have better things to do during the break"

"Like?"

"I dunno, getting wasted and doing drugs" Noah laughed.

"Noah!" Holly laughed is well. "Where's the little Ryan?"

"Getting grounded."

"Did he get into another fight?"

"Grades"

"Ah. He's screwed."

*From in the kitchen*

"Ryan, you do realise i have to ground you, right?"

*Back to Noah and Holly*

"Holly, you should go and save him." Noah said laughing heavily. Holly nodded.

"I owe him, i'll be back." Holly said walking into the kitchen to where her mum and brother were in a deep conversation.

"HOLLY?!!! What are you doing back?!" Exclaimed Abby as Holly entered the room.

Noah laughed. What a strange family i have. Should probably get ready for Grace's...
