What's your Sign?

Chapter 35 Sneak Peek

Jermaine

"Get your stuff, we have to go" I told Amir as I walked around all the little kids. They were hyped as hell.

"Hey Mr.Cole" his teacher spoke and I smiled at her. Amir was walking around with a mug on his face as he grabbed his backpack.

"Hello Ms.Brooks" I spoke and she gave me a concerned look "what color he get today?"

"Red" she spoke and I screwed my face up. Amir hasn't got red since the beginning of the school year.

"What he do?" I said as I watched him walk to the door. He must know he's in trouble. He was facing the door and wouldn't talk to no one.

"He put his middle finger up at recess" I scoffed widening my eyes. This little nigga must of lost his mind.

"Can you just talk to him. He has been doing so well and he wouldn't tell me why he did it. Maybe it's because he's about to three and he's very very smart and he understands and take things in that most kids in here don't" she spoke "he doesn't need that extra push. He just does it. And I don't know what has gotten into him"

"Oh I'm going to talk to him aiight" I said as I walked to the door grabbing Amir by his backpack handle. He already started crying "wait to we get home"

"But dad " he started crying and I opened the car door.

"Get in the car!" He got in the car and I strapped him in. I walked to my side getting in.

"Daddy I didn't do anything" he cried

"Then Ms.Brooks lied then Amir?" I asked him and he wiped his face.

"Yes she lie" he spoke crying as I sped home.

"So the teacher lying?" I spoke and he sat back hard in his seat and looked out the window.

It's so fucking crazy that I see myself in him. His ways are mirror images to mine that's why I try to watch what I do.

We finally got home and he hopped out the car . He walked looking down at his high top converse. I just looked down at him because he was acting weird. He would normally put up a fight. Even if it was a terrible one. He dragged his feet as we made it to the elevator. We hopped in and he leaned on the wall. Finally walking in the house Amir just walked to his room.

My phone started to ring and it was Bas. I answered.

"Wassup my nigga" I spoke as I walked to kitchen.

"Wassup? Studio tonight?"

"Nah it's a school night" I replied and looked in my refrigerator

"Oh how is my godson?" he laughed

"Little nigga putting up his middle finger in school" I spoke and Bas laughed "that shit is mad wild right?"

"Nah he only does what he sees" he scoffed and I shook my head.

"Well look I have to handle that" I replied

"Alright my nigga" he spoke and I hung up. I walked out the kitchen going to Amir's room. He was sitting on his bed still looking down at his toes.

"Yo, let me know what's wrong? What's going on?" I asked him and he looked up.

"Daddy I .. I ...I " he spoke with his eyes filling up with tears "I promise I get myself together"

"Amir I don't want to see all them dramatic tears" I said "why did you do it?"

"Cause.." He paused
