Kendra's POV *Six Years Later*

I sat in the front office with my Principal. She looked at me like I was the one in the wrong. "Do you know how much trouble your in?" He said to me calmly. I just looked at him blankly. "Do you care?" He asked me another question. "You called my mother." I uttered with an attitude. "Yes I did." He said crossing her arms. "Yes. Do you know how much trouble I'm in?" I asked back.

The intercom suddenly came on. "The parent of Kendra Rowland is here." Oh boy. My devil principal looked me in the eyes and said, "you can tell her to come back." I rolled my eyes face planting into my hands. I heard the door creek open and I didn't even look up. I felt someone sit next to me.

"So imagine that you your wondering why I called you today." Dr.Jordan said. "Well your daughter and another student got into an altercation." I looked over at my mother bracing myself for her reaction. "And then Kendra disided it was a good idea to throw a book at the young man." My mother slowly looked over at biting her bottom lip. "Well that wasn't a very good idea now was it?" She upped an eyebrow. "As you know this is a serious issue. Kendra will be serving two days in isolation. And this is Kendra's second strike. If this happens again she will be sent home." My mother just nodded standing to her feet. "Let's go." She said sternly keys in hand. "Believe me. It will not be happening again." She put emphasis on "will not". I downed my head leaving out the office. I didn't even look back. I just listened to her heels click against the floor. When I got close to the front double doors I ran out to the car. I went to the opposite drivers side door. My mother pushed the unlock button. I climbed into the big SUV. Buckling up I sat quietly in the back seat.

Ten minutes...

Mama hadn't said anything yet. It was scary when she didn't yell or say anything because it ment I was really in trouble. "Mama, I am sorry." I mumbled. "I do not want to hear it Kendra." She said calmly. "I'm sorry." I tried not to cry. "Just like you were sorry last week? You do know you getting yo ass beat when you get home? You are not sorry yet." She looked back to the road. "Mommy please." I begged. "Kendra that behavior is will not be tolerated. I don't know if you think you cute. Cute little girls act like they got home training." Mama raised her voice a bit. "But I do!" I raised my voice back. Bad choice. She reached back popping me in the mouth. My scream faded as I stared to cry. "I don't who you think yelling at but don't get yo lip busted little girl!" She held the back of the passengers side seat. "You been acting lately. But immam break you up out that shit!" I heaved for air hiccuping. "And dry it up before I give you something to cry for."

Back at the house...

Mama pulled up to the house. I just prayed to Jesus that she changed her mind not to spank me. My widen when a saw T's car. She was home early. She never let's Mama whoop me. I opened the door going through the garage instead of the front. It was open. Running into the living room I ran to T. "Hey ladybug how was school?" She asked that and I started to cry. "This boy called me stupid and a dummy so I threw a book at him. And now Mama wants to whoop me." I explained quickly. The frount door slammed. "KENDRA BRING YOIR ASS HERE NOW!" My mother's voice boomed through the house. "See." I whispered lowly. "Come on." T picked me up putting me on her hip. Mama had this angry exspression on her face like she was going to blow up. I snuggled my head into T's shirt. "Temper put her down." She said calmly. "Kelly you need to calm down." "I am calm. Now put her down. She isn't a baby and I'm not going to treat her like one." She said crossing her arms. T put me down behind her. "Go up stairs for me ladybug. Me and your mother need to talk." She said locking eyes with my mother. "Kendra don't you move." Mama pointed at me still looking at T still.

I stood confused. I looked back and fourth between the two. T was big and scary and times. But Mama .... Is Mama.

"Kendra go upstairs, now." T said with force behind it. Mama looked at her like she was crazy."B-b-but Mama said." I uttered. "What did I say!" She raised her voice. I ran up the steps and around the corner. I peeked around watching my parents duke it out.
