Sorry I'm trying to end the story as quick as possible

I still work at Richards. Everything has changed almost. I did a lot of test prepping and studying with the students like a lot so they would pass their tests and get the school money and graduate. The school looks great, they have uniforms now, I don't get any bad problems in my office that often. I feel like a proud mother and I am actually because my girls are in middle school now. I feel so happy. Paris and River are juniors now. Josh is in kindergarten and Jordan still is in daycare but it doesn't matter because he's getting really smart. I love all my babies.

It's almost the end of the school day. I'm ready to go. Well I can leave early but I don't just in case someone needs me. Maybe I should. Everybody rides the bus except for Jordan of course. I might go home I'm tired. I'll pick up my baby. Dallas should be home soon. Someone knocked on my door. I open it. "Hi."

"Are you busy?"

"No, I'm leaving soon so."

"Okay I need a favor from you."

"Anything."

"Are you busy this weekend by any chance?

"I don't know. We usually use the weekends to spend time with our kids."

"Okay. Nevermind then."

"What was it?"

"I loved how you tutored our students so I was wondering if you could tutor my kids but you might be busy."

"Where would I tutor them?"

"In the school..I'll be here but I just want them to get ready for their big test coming up."

"When is it?"

"It's Monday."

"I can do it Friday after school or maybe Sunday afternoon. I'll see."

"Okay. Thanks. So you're about to go home?"

"Yeah. Unless you need something else."

"No. Just that and also thanks for helping out the school. It wouldn't be like this without you."

"No problem. I love working here and I haven't been robbed again so."

"That's good. I love how the school developed and it only took a counselor to do it. I think we should celebrate one day."

"Yeah sure."

"We can have like a employee dinner or something or lunch."

"Sounds good." He hugged me. "I'm proud of my school and it's because of you."

"Thanks. That means a lot." He let go. "Sorry about that."

"It's okay."

"Okay well you can leave now, I'll see you later."

"Bye." He walked out and I grabbed my purse. Someone knocked on my door again. Really? I open it. "Hey baby."

"I was just about to leave."

"I see that. I never get to surprise you at work so I thought I should come."

"That's sweet of you. Are these for me?"

"Of course. For my one and only." I smile. "Can you pick up Jordan on your way home?"

"Yeah I will. I need to ask you something though." He closed the door. "Are you mad at me?"

"No. I would like if the principal guy didn't hug you. Seeing it makes me feel weird. The fact that he's like fifty and you're almost thirty makes it weird."
