      I saw my new home three blocks away. It was pretty obvious because a man and a woman looking like husband and wife was right in front of it looking in my direction.
      Ms. Dorothy had called them some time ago telling them that she'd be there in about an hour. She stopped the car though, by the time she reached the second block.

She started to cry.

Her face was buried in her hands.
I leaned over and hugged her.
We were silent for we knew too well what was going on in each other's mind.

     As she drove up to my new parents I took a deep breath then got ready to open the door.
When we finally reached she said through her still going tears.
"I love you!"
"I love you too and make sure you come and visit" I smiled as I hurried out the car.
  I didn't wanna spend any minute more with her cause I didn't wanna make my new family think I was soft hearted or anything.

*****************
   "Hello" they both said. Staring at me and smiling.
By custom I said.
" uhmm my name is Tyrese"

that was when I got distracted looking at a girl staring at me from inside.
She wore a cream shorts, her hair was done in a pony tail she had on a simple spaghetti strap blouse, shit she was so damn beautiful.

" Tyrese?" My new Mom said when she realized that I had gazed off.
"Oh yea" I turned back my attention to them.
"Who is that?" I asked.
"That girl, standing at the door?"
      
        "Oh that's your new tutor from the same school you will be attending, we heard that you were struggling in math so we- well I sort a made an arrangement for you and her you know" my Dad said as I smiled.

My mother who seemed to be annoyed by this whole conversation said.
"Okay lets all go inside, leave every question for later, dinner is getting cold and do you want to invite Ms Dorothy in?"
"I'll go ask her" I said as I turned around heading back to the car.

*************
    Ms.Dorothy do you wanna come in for dinner?
"No no I better not interrupt" she said hurriedly, this time wiping the last of her tears as she forced a smile
"Now come get your things".

Okay I smiled back and started taking out my things to put on the side walk. When I was finished she started the car. She waved over and I waved back.
      As she drove off, I stood there with my hands still up waving to the back of the car.
     My heart ached to see the car disappear out of sight, I held my head down as I forced back my tears.

"Tyrese, uhmm let me help you with those"
my new dad said walking towards me.
he held me by the shoulder very firm as if he understood what I was going through.

" go inside now, it's cold out here, I'll take care of these"

I turned around and headed towards the front door  then I was greeted by her.

********************
"Hi" she said smiling and staring in my eyes.
Hi" I replied.

"My name is Jamile uhmm Jamile McKenzie,your new math tutor"

"First math tutor"I said as she laughed.

"Well huh I guess we got alot of work to catch up on in the future before exams".

"Oh yea I know by the way I'm Tyrese"

"I know- Tyrese Morgan"

"Wait what?- oh right!"
that was when I realized I didn't even know my foster parent's name.

" I knew that " I smirked as she stood in front of me looking doubtful about me knowing by my first reaction.

We stood there staring and smiling at each other for a while then I believe Mrs. Morgan broke our gaze.

"Tyrese! Jamile! Dinner time!"
" coming!" We both shouted before laughing.
" come Tyrese, the dining room is a round here, she held my hands and rushed off.
I started to look around the house. It was huge and the tiles were laced with white marbles.

Damn!.
 
"I see you too have met."
"Yes coach we did"she said smiling.
" coach?"  I said.
" oh right Tyrese, my name is Okeino Morgan, I am the physical education teacher of North View High School and also the coach for the school's soccer team"
Wow I said astonished
"I was the best player on my school's team you know - The Wolverines".

"Oh so we're talking about talents!" Ms. Morgan snapped, she had a lovely voice.
"Well my name is Shanice Karlae Morgan, I am a history teacher at North View".
We all laughed at the sound of this as she continued.
"History is fun!"
"Could've fooled me" Jamile muttered turning away and coughing.
I couldn't help but laugh, I liked her spirit, besides she was beautiful...

"Now let's all sit and eat, then if you don't mind, Jamile will show you to your room, your mom and I have to finalize some issues at the station" My new dad said.

By this, we all sat around the table, we had mashed potatoes with shredded cheese and baked chicken. the food looked pretty good. Mrs. Morgan  graced the food then we all digged in.
