Understand Me

Chapter 2

-Imani-
Sean and I just had one of our most horrible arguments yet.

Let me explain; so I came from work and was looking forward for us to cuddle. I came home with a big smile on my face. I went inside and I heard noises. I went upstairs and opened the door to my room, the sight was unbearable. He was eating another female out with the same mouth he kissed and ate me out with.

I didn't cry though because I am used to it.

I put my things down and beat both of them, only to have Sean back up his little friend and beat me. We argued and he told me it was all a misunderstanding, he was doing it to get money on the girl to buy me a present. Yeah okay, anyways...

Anyways that is what happened. I broke up with him. That's the end.

I am now in the class room at the end of the school day assigning conferences with parents. I have called three so far and lastly it's Amirah. That little girl.

I dialed one of her parents number and it rang for a while before a deep and tired voice answered the phone.

"Mr. Jones speaking what do you want?" The man spoke.

I took the phone from my ear and stared at it then the paper making sure I called the right house, which I did.

"Hello." He said again. I put the phone back to my ear.

"Hello, I am Ms. Miller calling to speak with the parents of Amirah Jones."

"That I am." He answered.

"Okay. I was hoping you could come to a conference this Friday please. Your daughter has been a disturbance and I would like to speak with you."

"What are you doing now? Speak. I'm not coming to no conference. What do you have to say about my child?" He asked.

I sighed and rubbed down my face in frustration. I don't know where Amirah gets her behavior from.

"Sir if you could please just find time to come. It would really benefit your child. It is just fifteen minutes."

"Yeah. Fifteen minutes of my life."

"Okay sir. I am tired of your attitude. I simply asked a favor."

"And I simply declined."

"Whatever. You're wasting my time now."

"Is that how a teacher is supposed to speak to her students parents? I can have you fired."

"Yeah okay. I am going to ask one more time. Can you please come to the conference?"

I heard him chuckle.

"I like your attitude ma." He said and I could tell he was smiling.

I instantly rolled my eyes and laid back in my chair.

"Sir, I am not here to socialize-"

"Then what is the job of a teacher?"

"To teach. Can you come or not sir?"

"I'll think about ma." Before I could reply he had already hung up.

I hung up as well and sighed. The thing I do for a living.

I packed up my property then said my goodbyes before leaving.

I reached home and sat my belongings in the correct place before taking a shower.

After my relaxing shower, I lotion my body and put on my undergarments. I put on my robe and looked for an outfit to wear.

I am going out with my best friend Kenya. We have been together since kindergarten and all through college. I truly put all my trust in her. I love her to the moon and back. She has been wanting me to leave Sean for a while now and I finally have.
