"Nala, Zira, and Aaliyah come on, it's time for the daycare, and I have school. Nala, where is your left shoe!!" Marie said, looking through the couch cushions for the 2-year-olds shoe. This morning was not good to say the least.
Marie
Walking into the bathroom I saw Aaliyah brushing her teeth and the Twins on the floor trying to do the same. I laughed at them because they were so cute. They are at the stage where they think they're big girls and wanna do everything we do. I helped everyone brush their teeth. before getting on their coats and shoes. checking their bag I saw they were running low and pull-ups and wipes. This can not be not right now.
It's ok I will make a mental note of it when I go to the store. Being 18 still in high school with a full-time job and taking care of three little people isn't easy but I make it work. I don't know how I do it but it gets done. Walking up to Ms. Honeys' house I knocked on her door seeing her through the screen door. Ms. Honey is the daycare lady she even to care of me when I was younger everybody loves her.
"Hey, good morning Ms.Honey I have Nala and Zira" she looked down at the girls and saw them smile at ms. Honey. I looked back to see ms. Honey with a serious face and her arms crossed
"Good morning, Marie it's been two weeks and I need"
"I know I know I have it by Friday I promise you I just need time" she looks at me sideways
"I promise you I will have the money by then" reassuring her
"Ok then. Look Marie I love watching your girls they are amazing but I'm trying to run a daycare here"
" yes ma'am I understand"
"Now give me these girls and I will see you when you come to get them and have a good day and just because You're older don't think I don't still worry about you. I wanna talk to your later on you hear"
"Yes ma'am Ms. Honey" She opened the screen door letting in the girls I kissed them and told them goodbye. I and Aaliyah left to walk her to school her school was in the back of the complex and there's a path so it was easy
"It's just us now Aaliyah are you ready," I asked as we turned around to walk
"Yes I'm ready to see my teachers"
"That's good baby"
"Mama"
"Mhhh"
"Can we go to the park after school
"I'm going to work. We have talked about this "
"Ok"
Aaliyah is in kindergarten although she is four she's smart. And I get out at 12;30 so that gives me enough time to get her from school at 2;20 and take her to Ms. honey's house. So I can get to work
Getting close to the school I look at Aaliyah to see that she is sad so I decided to give her a boost.
"You wanna race how ever wins gets ice cream tomorrow" when I said a big smile repapered on her face she dropped her book bag and started running without me I laughed seeing her running and laughing and just being silly it brings me so much joy
" I WIN I WIN" she yelled as I caught up to her
"You cheated I didn't say go"
"I get ice cream" she sang before she went with her teachers she gave me and hug and bent down to have a little talk
"Have a good day school ok do your best ok I love you ok see you later "
"See you later," she said as she ran off with the other kids
Now it's my turn. Walking to the bus stop I looked through my phone to see if my boss sent me any task. I don't talk to anyone I stand alone until the bus comes. Getting off the bus my bestie Val calls out to me which makes my day better already.
"Wassup girly I feel like I haven't seen you in forever," she said pouting and biting into a pastry. She threw her arm around my neck as we walked.
"That's because Missy you've been busy and I have been busy"
"I know ughhh being in high school is stressful I literally have a pimple " she is so dramatic and that's never gonna change. I love it tho. Well sometimes
"Girl bye you are the captain of the dance team then you have nappy headed ass boy begging for attention which they will never get and you're smart as hell let's not forget your parents have money. Bitch you blessed"
"I guess so but it's not but that I that we used to go to hang out at your house while your grandma made the best biscuits"
my grandma didn't live too far from here. She and my mom barely talk since the death of my grandpa and dad. On the same day, they lost the love of their lives due to someone wants who wanted to rob them three years ago. I still think about it. We stayed with my grandma after with funeral before we move out. My grandma and I don't have much of a relationship since she tried to blame my mom for the death of her husband and son.
"I know right"
"But after ninth grade, it's changed I wonder why"
"Life I guess but I have a question," I said trying to change the subject
"Wassup boo. Is that a cut under your eye? What happened did he do it? I swear I will kill him"
"No, he would never it was Nala it was an accident"
"Oh ok"
"It was Nala"
"Yea I heard what you said it was Nala," she said rolling her eyes
"Hmmm your crazy you know that right"
"I know but let's head to class and let's get on about how Ms.bitch aka Ms. Capri gave us 10 projects and they have to be 12 slides she wants them to be turned in next month." She said as was looking arms and head to the other side of the school
"Thank god I took her class last year because baybe I couldn't do that"
"Girl I'm finna ask her can I get a partner and half my boyfriend do half of the cause who is going to do this. They don't even give this much shit In college"
"Girl right but I only have two classes today and that gym and choir so by 12;40 I should be out of here" they reminded me that I needed to get to the store
"Sorry but isn't that your boyfriend so why is she with maya instead of his girl" she asked I didn't care that he talked to other girls.
"Umm maybe they are friends"
"You really think that bullshit Marie you are smart and acting dumb as hell right now"
"I really don't want to talk about it see you later and thank you" I said as walked away going to my first class of the day
