Peyton's POV.

"Daddy where are we going?" I ask daddy when he buckles me in the car seat.

"To enroll you in school" daddy says.

"School? But daddy I wanna stay home with you all day" I say pouting.

I don't want to go to school! I didn't even like going to daycare and I'm betting school will be a lot worse. There's probably a bunch of meanies!

"I know baby but ye' gotta go to school.. I had to" daddy says and starts the truck.

"You're a butt daddy" I mumble and cross my arms.

I hear daddy chuckle and he looks at me through the mirror thingy. "Love ye' too" he says.

We drive for about 10 minutes until we pull up into this big building. It has swings and slides in the back! That looked fun.

Daddy opened my door and helped me out. He set me on the ground and held my hand as we walked into the school. "Daddy" I whine.

Daddy looks down at me and I lift my arms up, signaling I wanted him to pick me up.

"Yer a big girl... Ye' can walk" daddy says and continues walking.

Hmm.. Guess I gotta give daddy the sad eyes. He's a sucker for them.

I whine and he looks back down at me and sighs "don't do that"

I keep doing it.

Daddy groans and bends down and scoops my up in his strong arms. I smile and lay my head on daddy's shoulder. "I win daddy" I joke and kiss daddy's cheek.

Daddy mumbles something but I didn't hear it. I decided to close my eyes and I ended up falling asleep on daddy's shoulders

***

I woke up shortly after when I heard daddy talking to a woman. I opened my eyes and yawned, cuddling into daddy more.

"Well let you meet her teacher after you fill out these forms" the lady says and hands daddy some papers.

Daddy stares at them for a minute before signing and walking over to a table. "What's that daddy?" I ask looking from daddy's lap as he sits down.

"Just some papers I gotta fill out" daddy mumbles and stares hard at the paper. Must be confusing.

After a long long time and a lot of complaining, daddy finally finished the papers.

"Now are you done daddy?" I ask and daddy groans loudly.

"Yes!" He snaps.

I flinch a little and hide my face in daddy's neck. I didn't mean to make daddy mad. "I'm sorry daddy" I whisper.

Daddy sighs and kisses the top of my head. "It's ok baby.. I'm just tired ok? It's not ye'"

I nod and daddy stands back up, handing the papers back to the lady. "That's the longest anyone has took filling out papers" the lady laughs.

Daddy glares at her while she puts the papers in a bin.

"That's ok.. Some people are slower writers.. Doesn't mean anything" another woman said, coming up behind the other lady. She had blonde hair with brown stripes in it. I think daddy called them highlights? Ashley had them.. I hate Ashley so much.

Daddy looks at the girl and nods towards her. It's a daddy way of thanking someone.

"Hi I'm Carly.. I'll be your daughters kindergarten teacher this year" she says, holding her hand out for daddy to shake. "Let's go over here" she adds and leads daddy and I to a table. It was the exact same one we were just at.

"What's your name sweetheart" she asks me. I hide in daddy chest, shy.

"Ye' ain't gotta be shy.. Ye will be with her a lot this year" daddy says and picks me up off his lap and sets me down on the ground in front of her.

"Peyton" I said shyly.

She smiles. "I like that name" she says. "You can call me Ms. Carly" she says holding her hand to me like daddy did.

I smile a little and shake her hand.

"Thought teacher went by their last names?" Daddy asks.

"My last name is too hard for kids to say so I just go by my first" Ms. Carly answers daddy.

"Do you have any questions for me Peyton?" She asks me.

"Are you fun?"

Ms. Carly laughs "I think I am... But I'll let you be the judge of that" she says.

I giggle and nod, looking back at daddy who smirks at me. "See it wont be tha' bad"

"I never got your name" ms. Carly says to daddy.

"Daryl" daddy answers

"Well.. I look forward to having your daughter in my class this year" Ms. Carly says and both her and daddy stand up.

"Ya" daddy mumbles and puts his hand out for her to shake again. That's weird.. Daddy never does that.

She shakes his hand though and says goodbye. 

daddy watches her leave before looking down at me and smiling. "Ye' gonna have a fun first year of school yeah?" He says and puts his hand on my shoulder, leading me out of the building.

I nod my head yes and raise my arms for daddy to pick me up

Daddy does so and carries me the rest of the way to the truck and puts me in my seat.

"Now we gotta make one more stop" daddy says and hops in the front seat, starting the truck.

I groan.

"Ye will like this one" daddy smiles at me through the mirror.

"Chucky cheese?!" I squeal in excitement.

Please please please say we're going to chucky cheese!!

Daddy scoffs "hell no"

I freeze and cross my arms, pouting my lip out.

"We're stopping by Alyssa's to get Astro" dAddy says.

I gasp and my smile returns. "Yay!!!" I cheer. "Yay yay yay!!"

Daddy groans at my loudness. "Calm down" he mumbles.

Astro can finally live with us!!
