May 22

7:00am

Jimmy:

"Jimmy, wake up." Kasey called as she softly slapped my face. I opened my eye and saw her standing there in her work outfit.

"What do you want?" I groaned as I buried my face in my pillow.

"Uh, Your going to school with me. Geeeet up" She whined as she pulled the covers off me.

"Oh yeah, right." I sighed as I sat up and rubbed my eyes before getting out of bed and walking to the bathroom.

Sarah:

I was seated on my couch, sipping my coffee when I heard a knock on the door.

I placed my coffee down and walked to the door, smiling knowing who it was.

"Aunt Sarah!" Matthew squealed from Trevor's arms as I opened the door.

"Matty!" I smiled as I got him from Trevor.

"Jee, thanks, Hi." He said with a chuckle.

I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out.

"I missed you, Aunt Sarah." Matt said as he wrapped his arms around my neck.

"I missed you too, bud." I replied before placing a kiss on his cheek.

"Here's his bag, his extra clothes are in there and his school stuff. I have to go. My appointment is at 7:15. Have fun. I'll make it up to you, bud, promise." He pointed out before placing a kiss on Matty's forehead.

"Yes, Daddy." He giggled.

"Thank you so much, Sar." He smiled as he looked at me. I nodded and smiled, "Anything for my favorite nephew." I chuckled as I gave Matty a bounce.

He smiled and walked out the door with a limp.

"I'll just get my phone and we're off ." I told him as I placed him on the couch.

"Okay."

Jimmy:

"Do I look okay?" I asked, Kasey looked at me and nodded, "Yea."

"Im good." I said as I fixed my tie and walked out.

"Let's go." She said as she got her bag.

"You're driving?" She asked, I nodded.

I made sure Gary had enough food and water for the day before locking up.

Kasey and I walked out to and made our way downstairs.

-

"Do you have a favorite student?" I asked without taking my eyes of the road.

Kasey glanced at me, "Well not really favorite. But there's a kid who has a special place in my heart. But then again, I treat all of them equally." She answered.

"What's his name?"

"Matthew." She smiled.

Sarah:

I parked the car and hopped down to help Matty out.

"I got it." He smiled as he unbuckled his seat belt, got his bag and hopped down.

"Wow, you're a big boy now." I smiled as he held my hand. He smiled.

We walked in his school and parents and children were everywhere.

"Matty!" A woman exclaimed from behind.

His eyes lit up as he ran to his favorite teacher, Kasey. I smiled and walked up to them.
