A Glimpse Into My Life (Let Go and Let God)

Chapter 9

It's like Mr. Clarke was waiting for me all along. I knew I wasn't safe but I pretended enjoying the little freedom I had.

It all made sense, Mr. Clarke not at the gate. I fell for this so bad. Mr. Clarke, please. Can't you have mercy on a boy who is taking care of his entire family?

I know if I tell him that it'll be a waste of time. He don't care for anyone less talk of me. If I had magic right now, I'll just disappear from right here right now. Abracadabra!

"Davies!" Mr. Clarke yelled at me. I shook with great fear. Why is he so big and mean? Why does he do like my father? They're both mean, aren't they?.

"Yes, Mr. Clarke," my voice swayed slowly. Why can't I just stand up to him and be like; You know what Mr. Clarke, I'm sorry I'm always late but it's really not my fault. I have a whole lot to do at home and I'm the one taking care of two kids and a grown old rusty man who doesn't respect me and a mother who, can I say 'don't care'? Or I can use another word? All I want to say Mr. Clarke, is that I need you off my back now!

Okay, I had too much in my head. I can never say a word back to him not like the other children. My fear level has increased from 80 to 98. The 2 percent is my father's trait.

"In my office right now," he said and walked away.

In your office, right now? Can't you see they're writing math quiz? You expect me to miss my quiz? How could you, Mr. Clarke?

I swallowed hard down my throat! I knew this is a sign of trouble. So I prayed to God for nothing? Why? Why? Why? God, why?

I'm missing math quiz this morning. Mr. Scotsman had already told us this was his final quiz. Which means no makeup and I'm missing this.

I don't want to fail, please Lord of passing, speak on my behave.

I turned around and walked back downstairs and another downstairs. That's where is office is.
