Halstead Sister One Shots

Ruined Homework

This one shot was inspired by malewk172's latest chapter in Halstead Imagines! if you haven't checked out this book I highly recommend it! 

Gracies POV (15 Years Old)

I was sat at the kitchen table frantically making notes on my science homework when I heard the front door open and someone walk in to the kitchen,

"Hey Gracie" Will greeted but I kept my focus purely on the notebook in front of me "Gracie" he said again before waving a hand in front of my face "hello?" He asked,

"Hi" I replied without looking at him "I did hear you before" I said as I continued to flick through my books,

"Well I wouldn't have guessed" he replied sarcastically,

"What're you working on?" Natalie asked me as she sat down next to me as picked up one of my books,

"I'm trying to finish my science homework" I said as I removed the book from her hands and put it back in front of me "if you would stop asking me stupid questions then maybe I could" I said with a frustrated sigh,

"Hey" Will said as he looked over at me from where he was standing in the kitchen "she was just asking you a simple question there's no need for the backtalk" he lectured as I looked up at Natalie and smiled slightly,

"Sorry Nat" I apologised "it's just this homework is worth half my grade and it's due tomorrow" I explained and she smiled in an understanding manner,

"Don't worry about it" she replied before I went back to the books that where strewn across the table in a haphazard manner,

"Why don't you take a break and have some food" Will suggested,

"I don't have time Will" I exclaimed as he began to unload the bags full of takeout food,

"You need to make time" he replied shaking his head "why have you left it so long to do this anyway?" He asked and I shrugged my shoulders sheepishly,

"I did most of it when we got it a month ago but after that I kinda forgot" I admitted as he looked at me with an unimpressed facial expression "don't give me that look Will, I know!" I said and he shook his head,

"Go freshen up and come back to have some food" he instructed "then after you've eaten you'll have a clear mind" he said. I was about to protest when Will shot me a look that left no room for argument,

"I'll tidy your books up sweetie" Nat said with a smile before I left the kitchen to go and freshen up.

Wills POV

My sister left the books on the table and left the room and I continued to grab plates and pull out the Chinese food from the boxes,

"I've never seen your sister like that before" Natalie said to me as I filled a jug with water and put it on the island before Natalie took it and put it on the table before stacking up some of Gracies papers,

"Yeah she's been pretty stressed about school recently" I admitted and she nodded in reply before she grabbed the glasses and put them on the table as well. Suddenly her phone began to ring and she reached over the water jug to grab it. CRASH. I turned around in alarm as saw that the full jug of water had toppled over and landed on Gracies homework that Nat had just piled up,

"Shit" she exclaimed as she picked up the now empty jug in panic,

"What was that noise?"

Gracies POV

I tied my hair up in to a ponytail and observed my reflection in the mirror. Urgh. I looked tired that's for sure. My skin was dull and covered in pimples and circles had formed around my eyes. CRASH. I snapped out my daze when I heard a loud crash from the kitchen so I instantly left to investigate,
