"Before you leave, write your student ID on a piece of paper. Class dismissed."
Fucking finally..
I scribbled my ID number on a sheet of paper as fast as humanly possible. It was Friday and I was happy as hell to be out of my boring ass biology lecture.
The sun hit me dead smack in the face when I walked outside. I'd been in the same building since eight this morning. I made it to my car in no time, I had to be at the daycare to pick my daughter up before four-thirty.
It took me fifteen minutes to make it there. I walked to the front desk to sign her out when I was greeted by the receptionist.
"Hello Ms.Maraj."
"Hi Mrs.Johnson."
She picked up the phone and called down to Nyla's class. "Mrs.Williams, Nyla Jones is checking out." she put it back on the hook and looked at me. "How's school going?" she asked.
"It's going." I chuckled. "How was my babygirl today?"
"You know she never gives us any trouble." she smiled.
Nyla came running through the glass door and wrapped her arms around my legs.

"Hi mommy." she cheesed as she looked up at me.
"Hey baby. Did you have a good day?" I picked her up and waved bye to Mrs.Johnson.
"Mhm, I learned new colors today." she said excitedly.
"Oh yeah? What color is that car?"
"Blue!"
"What color is mommy's shirt?"
She thought for a second before answering. "Pink."
"That's my smart girl." I tickled her stomach which made her giggle.
Nyla is my almost four year old from a previous relationship. Her dad and I were high school sweethearts, even though we were two grades apart. During my freshman year of college, I found out that he was living THE college life. When I say that, I mean: partying, hanging out, having an athletic girlfriend, and the list goes on and on.
We called it quits...well actually I busted the windows out his car after I jumped on him. He had it coming though.
I strapped Nyla in her seat and handed her-her after school snack.
As soon as we walked through the door of our apartment, Nyla ran off to her room. Her dad was supposed to come get her after while.
I headed to the kitchen and grabbed myself a bottle of water. My best friend Ashley wanted to go to the girls' basketball game tonight. She got free tickets because her sister was in the starting five.
