April outfit on the side
I finished getting dressed after lotion my body and Flat ironed my hair bone straight i put it in a middle part and left it flow down my back. I put on clear lip gloss and a little gold jewelry. I finished and grabbed my purse leaving out the house around 5:30 i arrived at the school at 5:45 i went into the office and luckily Mrs. Sims (Simon) was already here. She handed me a cup of coffee. "This should wake you up" she laughed handing it to me i took it. "Okay now this is the list of names for your class you are the math teacher and home room teacher for your class , I also put disciplinary forms just in case" i nodded grabbing the binder . "Now let me show you to your classroom" she said leading me up the stairs to the 7th grade hallway. "Here we are" she said opening the door to a big class room. "You may decorate it however you want but it has to be out your own pocket here's the key to your class room ill let you get settled you must come down to the cafeteria every morning to get your class oh and your schedule is in the binder too" she explained. "Yes ma,am" i said as she walked out "GOOD LUCK" she smiled disappearing. I sat the binder down on my desk and put my purse in the teacher cabinet that had to be opened from a key. I sat my phone on my desk and grabbed a expo marker to write on the board good morning and the date of today. I moved the desk around my classroom into 5 groups. I studied my schedule right after and it was about that time for me to go and get my class. i left out of my room being stopped by a tall handsome dark skin man with 2 braids and a nice trim with a suit on. 'You must be the new math teacher Ms. Smith right?" he smiled. i looked up at him "Yes i am" i said trying not to stare but this man was fine. "I'm Mr. McCoy the reading teacher right across from your room " He said extending his hand out for me to shake. "I'm Mr. I mean Ms. Smith and of course you already knew that since you just said it o great " i whispered embarrassing myself. He laughed flashing all his pearly whites he was so professional . I shook his hand "Nice to meet you" i said letting his hand go. "if you need anything as i said my class room is right across the hall" he said. i nodded and went to go get my class. I finally found the Cafeteria and and stood by my class table i knew because it said my room number. "Is that our new teacher" i heard the kids whispering and gossiping.

I woke up hearing knocking at my door. We were already in New York i had a house here already. I went to my door opening it seeing Tink standing there wearing a Pink skirt pink Crop top to match and pink curls in her hair. I swear this girl get a new color hair everyday. "What" i asked getting annoyed. "Calm down daddy I'm just here for the address to this Griff" she rolled her eyes walking into my crib. I gave her the piece of paper that Ronald gave me. "You couldn't just text me " i asked. "I would have but you blocked my number remember" She rolled her eyes. "Chill with that eye rolling shit" i said. A couple moments later she left and i took my ass back to sleep.

We arrived back to the classroom . "Ok when we get into the classroom, I'm gonna need ya'll to stand on the wall so i can seat you" i said making them smack they lips. "See man i told ya'll she was gone do some lame shit like this" A familiar boy said. I noticed it was the kid from yesterday that ran into me. They walked into the classroom and stood on the wall like i told them to do. I did attendance and seated them. "Ok now im new to middle school teaching and i wont be a perfect teacher but i'm willing to try if ya'll are , I wont make stuff complicated understand?" i asked them. "Yes Ma,am" they said making me laugh "No ya'll don't have to call me ma,am Ms. Smith is cool" i said . A boy walked into my class ate i looked at him to see him out of uniform. "Wheres your uniform" i asked confused. "Man if you dont have to wear uniform why should i" he shrugged taking his seat. I nodded cause part of me felt the same way the other part wanted to write his ass up for disrespect but i let it slide. i started teaching....

"My first ultra sound i felt my baby heart beat and i knew then that i couldnt get rid of my baby" i smiled looking at my stomach. "Awwh she smiled. it was late on a Thursday . "My stomach started to hurt. "Ouuch" i said grabbing a hold on my stomach. "You ok " Denise asked. "Yeah i think so im gonna go lay down" i said walking slowly to the bed room.
