Ramari Young
"xavier what do you wanna talk about? you asked me to talk so wassup?"
"um look mari-" before he could start talking he was cut off by my phone ringing. I looked at my phone and saw it was raylon school calling.
"hello?" "yes, is this raylon's mom im speaking to?" "yes ma'am, is there a issue?" Xavier was just staring at me as i was talking on the phone.
"yes ms. young, your son Raylon tripped a teacher up and also got in to yet another fight with a child in this school. this a facility for learning and positive energy and ever since raylon came here there has been nothing but trouble."
"..." i turned and looked at xavier and his eyes looked like they were about to pop out of this socket.
"i'm sorry ms. young, but unfortunately we can not keep raylon here anymore, we will have his transcripts ready for you when you get here."
"excuse me? you're kicking my child out? he is a child and as you said this is a LEARNING FACILITY meaning you should be teaching him right from wrong in there! but you know what it's fine, this school definitely shows favoritism to the white children, so i have no problem taking my baby out of here, goodbye. and have his sh- stuff ready." i hung up the phone and went straight to my uber app.
"you need a ride" was all he asked me. i nodded my head, i was confused on why he was acting like he didn't know i had a kid. "what's your number so i can send you the school address"
we exchanged numbers, and i sent him the preschool. I really didn't want raylon meeting xavier anymore after what he did but it was probably gonna happen eventually.
"since when did you have a kid?" he asked me looking towards the road while driving. i scrunched my eyebrows up looking at him. "what the fuck do you mean "wHeN dId YoU hAvE a KiD"". he smacked his teeth and glanced at me.
"i don't even sound like that" he muttered under his breath making me laugh. "that's not even the point. why are you asking me that question as if i didn't tell you i was pregnant?"
his head snapped towards me and looked at me with confusion. "what the fuck are you talking about? you ain text me shit."
"huh? i most definitely texted you- OH MY GOD watch the road jeez" my heart almost jumped out my chest, he wasn't even paying attention to the road anymore.
"THIS MY KID?" he asked getting angry. "no he's my kid. you are nothing to him." i simply said shrugging.
he pulled into the school and was about to say something else but i cut him off getting out the door slamming it shut. I started speed walking in the school, and xavier was right behind me.
"why are you following me?" i looked back at xavier as we walked inside. "i'm coming to see my seed, since you ain tell my shit"
"what nigga... whatever, your not taking him so you might as well leave. you didn't wanna be with him the other 4 years of his life so i'm not understanding why you want to be with him now? we was doing just fine without you!"
i continued walking to the daycare part of the elementary school with xavier following behind me. "I WOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF HIS LIFE IF I KNEW ABOUT HIM" he yelled.
"we are inside of a school xavier. lower your tone, and stop being fucking embarrassing." i whispered yelled.
we finally made it to the daycare section of the school, and went inside to get raylon. "i'm here to pick up my son raylon young." i said to the lady in the office.
"oh him. he over there with his stuff" she said making a disgusted face. the school he went to was predominantly white seeing as how i live in a neighborhood where most white people live. I should have never put him in this school.
"girl is there problem? why the fuck are you making that face about my son." i mugged the blonde 40ish white lady getting closer to the desk.
"i'm just tired of you people, maybe if your son had a father figure in his life he wouldn't be acting out of control like this" before you knew it i cocked my fist back and punched her dead in the mouth.
"woah woah woah chill" xavier said pulling my arm back. "no get the fuck off me. i'm tired of these disrespectful ass white bitches talking down on my son. If he wasn't in here right now i'd air this bitch out and that's on everything." i yank my arm from his grip and walk over to son.
"come on baby. i'm switching you to a new school." i pick raylon up and grab the rest of his belongings.
"ma she rude to me" he pointed at the bitch holding her face. "i know baby, i know." i walked to xavier classroom and went up to the teacher. "what kid fought my son?"
"ma'am we can't disclose that information to you." she said and xavier grabbed my arm pulling me out the school. "yo stop making a scene."
"nigga this MY child we're talking about. i will always do the most when it come to him!" now at this point i was beyond irritated with everyone.
"what happened raylon? why was you in the office?" "man ma, so dis boy said you look good for a nigga"
"so what happened?" "i punch him"
"raylon, what i tell you about violence. violence is never the answer" xavier scoffed. "let it off ya chest, don't hold back." i said looking at him."violence never the answer? yet you punching teachers and shit?" "MA WHAT TEACHA YOU PUNCH" raylon yelled all happy.
"boy please" i laughed slapping his neck softly. "anyway ma who dis" he pointed at xavier. "i'm your dad." zay said before i could say anything.
"you my dad? ma why you not tell me i have a dad. i dought sani was my dad." he said making me looking up at xavier and see his face.
"who the fuck is sani"
