Harper walked into the school and down the hallway. She felt sick to her stomach at the thought of seeing her mother again. She walked into the office and past the receptionist and opened the door as Rachel looked to her and frowned "Harper?" She asked as Harper crossed her arms over her chest and looked to her "oh, so you remember that I actually exist after leaving me for twelve years" Harper spat as Rachel smiled to herself as she looked to her exchanged daughter and sighed "I'm sorry, you were better off without me" "how do you know, you don't even know me. You didn't think I had it in me to be a daughter to you" Harper said as Rachel smiled "I was a coward and I'm sorry, look I'll ring your dad" she said as she went to grab her phone as Harper chuckled and looked to her.

"There's no point" Harper said as Rachel looked to her and frowned "because he's dead, he died and I'm going to go before social services find me and put me in a children's home" Harper said as she went to walked off as Rachel's grabbed her arm as Harper turned to face her "you can't go" "I have too, I can't live in a home" Harper said as Rachel looked to her "you won't, you will come and love with me" Rachel said as Harper looked to her and frowned "are you insane?" "No, I am your mother and it's about time that I acted like it and I owe it to you" Rachel said as Harper looked to her and smiled.

A few weeks had last since Harper had turned up at Waterloo road. Rachel had took her in and officially enrolled her at Waterloo road. Harper was annoyed over being enrolled. She hated school and wanted nothing to do with it. Harper walked down to the kitchen and looked to Rachel and glared. Harper blames Rachel for everything, she held Rachel responsible for ruining her life and she hated it. She looked to Rachel who smiled to her "are you ready for school?" She asked as Harper crossed her arms over her chest and glared at her "whatever" she spat as Rachel looked to her and sighed "look I know hat your mad at me but i really am sorry for leaving you but I am your mother and I'm the only family you have, let's make this work?" Rachel said as Harper looked to her and sighed.

Later that morning, Harper got to school and frowned as she stood with Rachel and frowned as she saw tom. The guy she had spent the night before she found Rachel. Tom saw her and paled as he saw her in a uniform "mr Clarkson, this is my daughter Harper. She will be in your form class" Rachel said as Tom swallowed the lump in his throat as he realised just who she was "nice to meet you Harper" Tom said as she looked to him and smiled.

Later that day, Harper walked down the hall as she felt someone grab her arm and looked to see tom. She looked to him and smirked "come for round two sir?" She teased as he looked to her and frowned "we can't happen" he said as she looked to him and rolled her eyes "it was fun" she teased as he looked to her and sighed "it can't happen. We can't happen" he said as she looked to him and smirked "we'll see" she said as she walked off as tom sighed to himself and ran his hands through his hair fearing for his future at Waterloo road.
