Her Freed Spirit

Hookers at the Zoo

 Its Monday morning. I actually like Mondays. Its a chance to start your week off right. Its early November so its not as hot anymore. Its actually kind of windy. My outfit for school today is white skinny jeans, a gray v neck tee-shirt, and gray Nikes. I grab my blue hoodie in case I need it.

 "Uncle Mike what's  a hooker??" I hear Jaden as I walk into the kitchen. Uncle Mike starts choking on his coffee while Jeremiah looks shocked.

 "Where the fu...heck did you hear that word from??" Uncle mike is getting mad.

 "Jamal." Jaden points to Jamal who his stuffing his face with bacon.

 "No he didn't!!" Jamal yells while eating more bacon.

 "Yes huh. Remember you had the magazines with the ladies who were nakey. I asked you why they were nakey and you said they sell themselves for money an that makes them hookers." Jaden continues eating his breakfast. Jeremiah, Uncle Mike and I give Jamal the death stare. He looks scared. He needs to be.

 I turn Jaden's chair so he is facing me. "Jaden hooker is a very bad word. You are never to call anyone that, especially girls. Those magazines Jamal has are really bad and you should never look at them. You are going to be respectful towards women regardless of their jobs. right??"

 "Yes Sophy." He smiles before giving me a hug.

 "As for Jamal he is on punishment for two weeks. And will be doing all your chores." I say.

 "The hell I am! You can't do that!" Jamal tries to argue with me.

 "Yes you are and yes she can. You're on punishment. You are only to go to school and football practice. Do you understand that?" Uncle Mike's voice is laced with frustration.

 "Yes sir." Jamal responds through gritted teeth. Jeremiah smacks Jamal on the back of the head. He begins to question Jeremiah on why he slapped him. Once he sees the look in Jeremiah's eyes he decides against it. I drive a very pissed off Jamal to school. He gets out of my car without even saying a word to me. I look up to see Andre opening my door for me.

 "Good morning Mia Bella. I tried to say what's up to Jamal but he blew me off." Andre says as I put the alarm on my car.

 "Oh he's just pissed off."

 "Who's pissed off?" Tonii, Imma, and Spenser ask while approaching us.

 "Jamal. He told Jaden hookers are women who sell their naked bodies. Jaden caught him with a magazine filled with pictures of naked women. He's punished. Hopefully Jaden never repeats that." I say while leaning on my car.

 "Jamal is a dumb a**. Why the hell would he tell a 7 year old that??" Imma questions and I just shake my head.

 "I'm not in the mood for school today." Spenser lets out a deep sigh.

 "Me either." Tonii, Imma, Andre, and I respond at the same time. We all break out in laughter.

 I come up with a great idea. "Let's skip then!" They all looked at me shocked.

 Imma comes up to me and feel my forehead with the back of her hand. "Who are you and what did you do with my sweet little Short Stack?" I smack away her hand.

 "I'm still here. We don't want to go to school so lets not."

 "I'm down." Tonii says.

 "Let's do it!" Spenser adds.

 "We out this b*tch!" Imma yells.

 "I don't know guys." We all turn to stare at Andre.

 "You my friend, have no choice. Remember when I said I'm going to help you experience being a normal teenager??" He nods yes. "Well a part of the normal teenage experience is skipping school." I say with a smile on my face.
