I looked out the window of the car. My heart was beating out of my chest. I haven't seen my biological mother since I was five. I looked at everyone in the car and their outfits. My dad was wearing black suit and black penny loafers with a platinum watch. My mom black dress that was high cut and backless with long sleeves and wore a necklace with a diamond pendant and black, open toed, six inch heels. I was wearing the same thing as my dad and black, closed toed, three inch heels.
I was sitting in the backseat behind the passenger side next to my mom, my dad was in the passenger side and Julius was driving. Every once in a while I see my dad looking at me in the mirror. Even though he keeps a straight face, I can tell he's scared.
The car came to a stop and parked on the side of the curb. We entered the courthouse through the back and headed to the courtroom.
As we walked to our seats, I saw a white man sitting behind my biological mother on the plaintiff's side. He had a buzz cut and he's wearing a navy blue suit. He has a lean build and looks to be five ten to five eight. He catches me staring at him and I turn my head. The judge comes out and starts talking but I wasn't listening. I take a look at my biological mother. Last time I saw her, she was so skinny. Now, she has more weight on her. I wonder how long she has been clean. She had a gray suit with a skirt. I noticed a diamond ring on her left ring finger. Shit is small as hell. She looked at me and gave me a small wave. I hate the fact I look like her. I scooted closer to my mom and rested my head on her shoulder. She kissed my forehead and rested her head on mine.
"Brooklyn Carter, you will stay with your mother for six weeks as a test run, then we will start from there. Your six weeks will start on April fifth and end on May seventeenth. You all are dismissed." The judge finished talking and left the room and so did we.
"I'm gonna go use the bathroom." My dad said while walking away.
While my mom and I were sitting on the bench, my biological mother and the dude that was sitting behind her were walking towards us and she started talking to me.
"Hey Adamma, can I talk to you?" I can hear her trying to hide her Nigerian accent with an American one and it doesn't sound good. I said nothing in response. She sat down so close to me I could feel her breath. "I hope you don't look at me differently after this. I'm only doing what I think is best for you. I really love and I want you to be in my life."
My dad walked out of the bathroom and saw us sitting together. I peered my eyes at him for taking too long.

I ended up staying home today. We had a five day long field trip for the week before spring break and I couldn't go because it was to Florida.
I was curled up on my parents bed with Blue, watching octonauts on my MacBook. My parents were rehearsing and they left me to watch Blue since I wasn't doing anything. I turned to look at her and she looked back at me.
"Hi!" She said with a wave.
"Hi," I said and waved back. "Ivy, Imma be gone for a while, but I will be back soon. Will you miss me?"
"No!"
"No?!" I said sitting up. She started laughing.
"I miss you Boogie." She said. She can't pronounce her K's yet so she calls me Boogie.
"I will too Ivy."
