Outlawed.

-Chapter 2-

Jaheem's P.O.V

"Today, we will be going over Chapter 1, Page 3. Flip to it. Do I have a reader for this chapter?" I say as I sit on my desk & look up around the room. I see a student in the back raise her hand.

"What's your name?" I ask her as I flip the book open.

"Zaina. Zaina Lamar." She says quietly. I got so many shy students in here. I gotta bring them all out of there shell.

"Ok Ms. Lamar. Read the first paragraph for me." I say.

"One of the primary goals of the criminal justice system is to reduce crime. This is achieved through rehabilitation, deterrence, and incapacitation of criminals. The criminal justice system is made up of multiple interrelated pillars. They consist of academia, law enforcement, forensic services, and corrections." She reads. I hear a knock on the door as she finishes.

"Pause right there. Come in!" I say. I see Ms. Kyson come in. That's the President of the college.

"Meet me in my office in 10 minutes. I have to talk to you about something." She whispers in my ear and walks off. If Ms. Kyson wanted to talk to ya, it had to be something important. I watched her as she walks out the class. Ian gone lie. Ms. Kyson fine as fuck. Dat ass on her mesmerizes me. I be trying to get her, but she a li hard to get. Ima get that ass one day.

"Well today yall, we gotta end class a little early. Read over the whole chapter. Yall will have a pop quiz on it tomorrow. Enjoy yall day. If you have your application and letters of recommendation leave them on my desk." I say and I walk behind my desk and start packing my stuff up. I look up and see my student, Zaina packing her stuff up.

"Thank you for participating in class today. Yall my li shy class. I gotta get yall warmed up with me." I say to her and she does a small laugh. I notice a mark on her face and I raise my eyebrow. I would've said something but it's not my business and she might think ima nosey ass nigga. I hope everything ok with her though.

"You're welcome. I'm actually enjoying this class so far." She says and put her letters and application down on my desk.

"Have a good rest of your day." I say as she leaves mouth. I walk out after turning my light off and make my way to Ms. Kyson's office.

When I get there, I sit down and wait for her to finish her call.

"Hey Mr. King. I wanted to talk to you about running for this Service Award for the National Criminal Justice program. I think you may have a very good chance of winning." She says as she gives me the paper. I read over it and look up at her.

"You think ima win this? It's about 25 more people running for this." I say and lean back.

"You're very intelligent and a very good teacher. Looking over your background, you're more successful than you know. Just try it please." She says. I look at her.

"Aight. I'll do it." I say as I fill out the application. A nigga ain't never ran for an award before. Shit might feel good to win something because of your accomplishments. I finished and I left her office before shit got wicked in there. Any more time around her, I was gon have her ass walking sideways.

I started the walk to my car. I took a half day today because a nigga had an appointment at the dentist and plus I had to go look over these applications. Tomorrow we are having a little career day, so the table that's set up for my class will have all the applicants to be my assistant. I gotta get a feel of them and see who I want around me. Ian got time to be dealing with no nasty attitude, or nunna dat.
