Three days later...

"Momma, love you"

"Love you too, momma"

I leaned forward and kissed his cheek, I ruffled his hair slightly and smiled at him.

We're currently outside Davis's classroom. I adjusted his collar and tucked in his shirt properly.

"Be a good boy, don't fight with your friends.. ok?"

He tilted his head and looked inside his classroom, no, he glared at his classroom.. he scoffed.

"Ok.. what's this face about?" I asked him.

He didn't reply, he just fixed his gaze at a boy sitting behind his (Davis's) desk.

"Promise momma you're not gonna fight him"

He still didn't say anything, he simply collected his lunchbox from me and rushed inside.

I frowned.. what's wrong with this boy these days? He's becoming more rebellious!

His teacher has been complaining about his behavior lately, she said he's becoming aggressive... picking up fights among his friends.

It's not as if he has any friends though, but since they're all classmates.. they are considered friends.

"Don't you think... you should find out why Davis is becoming rebellious?" Adele asked.

"Hmm... " I hummed and watched Davis until he's already sitting on his desk.

It's being three days already...three days since Thanatos went to Chicago... and we still haven't heard from him... could it be...

"Do you think he's missing Thanatos? Could it be.. he's transferring his aggressions on his classmates?"

Adele chuckled at my suggestion, she shook her head.

"You're just missing Thanatos" she said.

"Yeah, since I'm missing him, Davis would too... remember, Thanatos spoils him a lot... "

I paused and studied Davis, he's staring at a girl who's sitting a few desks away from him.

She's talking with her friends and playing dollies with them, he seem so focused on her.

From the look of things, he's enjoying watching her.. there's a smile on his face.

"... wait, I don't think it's because he's missing Thanatos" I said.

"What?"

"Come here"

I pulled Adele closer to me and pointed at Davis, he's still watching the girl.

"Look, Davis has been staring at that girl since he went in" I said.

"Hm.. so what are you tryna say?" She asked.

"I can't be wrong about this, I think my son has a crush on her"

She turned away from Davis and gave me a questioning look...she stared at me as if I'm nuts.

"Jas, he's just five" she said.

I nodded slowly.

"I know.. that's why he doesn't know it's a crush yet"

"Jasmine, you... "

I toned her off, when I saw the boy sitting on the desk behind Davis's got up.

He walked towards the little girl with his hands hiding behind him, Davis's eyes followed the boy's movements.
