A'Shyla's pov

This girl takes forever to get ready, it's ridiculous. This is exactly why i tell her to wake up earlier cause why have we still not made our way to school.

"BABY HURRY UPPP!" I yelled up the stairs, hoping she would be done.

"FUCK! I'M COMING, DAMN." Her tiny ass yelled back, running down the stairs.

I opened my arms for her and she ran to me n hugged me tight, giving me a few pecks.

"You ate right?" I asked her.

"Yes baby, i had blueberry pancakes." She replied.

I just really gotta make sure she's eating cause after we found out about Sarai hitting her she stopped eating n barely went out.. i would have to try my best to convince her to even leave the house with me.

"Okay mama, let's go before we're late." I said, making my way out the door with her behind me.

I unlocked my car and opened her door for her. She got in the car and connected her phone as per usual- I got in my side of the car and immediately started driving.

"I DON'T WANNA GIVE YOU THE WRONG IMPRESSIONNN." She sang along.

"I NEED LOVE AND AFFECTION."

"AND I HOPE I'M NOT SOUNDING TOO DESPERATE.." I continued.

She looked at me, smiling and we both sung the next line together.

"I NEED LOVE AND AFFECTIONNN." We said, in sync.

Mai Mai continued to sing along to every song that played whilst i just made sure to watch the road.

Within 20 minutes of traffic.. we arrived at school. I parked in my usual spot and Imaiah and I both got out the car.

She held her hand out for me and i grabbed it, interlocking my fingers with hers as we made our way into this hellhole..

"Ughhh.. I have Math?! Seriously." She groaned at the thought of it.

"It'll be okay mama, we got the same class remember?" I reassured her and she smiled a little.

"Mm.. okay i guess it can't be TOO bad then." She said.

"Let's go baby, maybe you'll make some new friends too.. since you're now in my class. The people in my class are pretty chill honestly." I said to her, hoping she would try to make some friends.

"I'll have to see for myself." She said.

"Alright love, let's go now." I said, walking into the class, still interlocking my fingers with hers.

Everybody stopped what they were doing and stared at us.

"The fuck y'all looking at?" Imaiah asked them.

"Mama chill.." I whispered to her.

"Ahem." The teacher rose from her desk.
