After the next couple of chapters, I'm thinking about doing a big jump. I'm not sure yet.


August

Today was da day Stephanie and I went to da school ta talk da otha parents of da girl. Fa da most part, I wanted ta see who da bitch was tellin' a child allat shit I was supposed ta be sayin.

"You ready?" I asked, as Stephanie climbed in da truck.

Erin was ova to Lynn's house while Laya was wit us. I was aware dat lah girl Amy dat was bullyin her was supposed ta be thea.

"Mhm."

I looked ova at her and cocked my brow.

"Mhm?" What dat supposed ta mean?"

She sighed and looked out of da window.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking."

I rubbed my chin and looked over at her. "Hmm."

She side eyed me and looked away, then looking over at me again.

"What?"

I shrugged and looked at the road. "Nothin'."

She sighed and crossed her hands in her lap. I chuckled and looked behind us at Laya. She ain't said much since last night. Every since she found out dat we were goin ta talk ta da other parents, she aint said shit.

"You good lah mama?"

She remained quiet but shrugged, which I seen thought the rearview. I sighed and Stephanie looked ova at me. I frowned.

"Is thea somethin' dat yall aint tellin me?" I asked, lookin in between Stephanie and Laya.

Stephanie ran her hand through her hair and sighed.

"Laya is just concerned that after all this is over, she may not be able to play basketball."

I shook my head. "Oh, she gone play ball. I'ma make sho of dat."


We got ta da school and seen da Jenkins woman waitin fa us. I knew my way in, I aint really need ha ta show me shit.

"Mr and Mrs. Alsina how are you?" Blair asked, sticking her hand out.

Stephanie shook her hand but I was just worried about gettin dis shit ova with. Givin me a nudge, Stephanie motioned fa be ta be a bit nicer.

"We doin aight, would be a lot betta once we see what all'a dis hea is about."

She nodded and backed away from us. "Right this way."

We followed her down da long hallways. Laya grabbed my hand as she opened da door ta a nice size conference room. Thea was anotha family dat was sittin in the abut as fa right na, I kept my coo. It was only a woman and I take it dat it was Amy because she was in a wheel chair. Baybeh banged her up pretty damn good.

"Ms. Wright and Amy this is the Alsina family. And of course you know Laya. Now let's get down to business, shall we." Blair walked ta da head of da table and sat down.

"We shall, cause I aint got all day." The girl's mama spoke up.

I looked ova at her and she looked real fuckin' familiar. It was a possibility dat I had seen her befo.

Stephanie look down at her and then back at Blair.

"Yes, of course." Blair said, grabbing some folders.

I remained quiet and looked over at Amy who was quiet. Laya was in a daze, starin ova at Amy.

"Well first off, I would like to discuss the details of the Wright pressing charges. Would you like to proceed with that?"
