"You ain't in trouble but you need to chill out."

"True, he was tryna stab me with a pencil." He said. "I shoulda stabbed him after I beat him up." He looked out the window.

"No, I'm glad you didn't stab him." I made a face.

Not he tryna be like me.

We made it home and Zayla sat on the couch with Zoie.

"He's suspended because he threw the first punch." I told her.

"Well do they care that the boy tried to stab him?"

"The Lil boy got a pending expulsion, D'Aire made him bleed so he out for a two weeks."

She made a face, "Did they give him some work?"

"Mhm." I nodded and D'Aire sat on the couch.

"You mad?" She asked him.

"Yes." He took his book bag off.

"Why?"

"Cause I want him to die."

"I-that's not nice to say." She looked at me widening her eyes.

"D'Aire get out yo school clothes and bring me yo homework." I told him and he got up.

"Why he want the lil boy to die?"

"Ion know, he feel some type of way." I shrugged . "Ima talk to him cause ion want him to start thinking that's coo."

He came back downstairs out his clothes and his homework in his hand

"What you got on?" I laughed looking at him.

"Gucci." He smirked.

"Know damn well that came from Walmart." I looked at his pants.

"Anyways, you getting my hair cut?"

"Oh yea." I stood up.

"Daddy, I wanna come." Zoie got off Zayla lap.

"You wanna leave me?" Zayla asked her and Zoie nodded. "Wowww, yea go with yo daddy."

"I am." She danced and grabbed my hand.

"No, Zoie stay here." I told her. "Ima come back and get you okay?"

"But I wanna come."

"You is, I just gotta take him to the barbershop first."

"Okay." She walked away disappointedly.

"Did you beat his ass?" Kaci asked.

"Yea." D'Aire nodded.

"He made him bleed, he ain't just beat his ass." I chuckled.

"That's crazy cause lil Kaci got suspended yesterday for cussing his teacher out, Kamille got on his ass."

"I woulda got on D'Aire ass for that too, why he cuss her out?"

"The teacher was ignoring him I guess so he just got up and start saying all types of shit, calling her bitches and all."

"Hell nah." Some dude in the next chair laughed.

"I'm for real, I could any punish him cause I was laughing so I just let Kamille do it. Then he gone come crying to me."

"You ain't give him a hug or nothing?" I asked.

"Hell nah, cause Kamille was on bs, she was gone be like 'You always babying his ass, stop doing that shit' and ion have time."

"Same thing Zayla be on, then wanna act so hurt when Zoie only wanna be under me."

"Nah, Zoie really like you better than Zayla." Liko said. "She mean as hell."

"That's cause Zayla be making them go on timeout or she be making them take naps and shit."

"Kamille was whooping Lil kaci." Kaci shook his head. "Had to make her stop cause that shit really don't work."

"It make them wanna be even more bad."liko said.

"Right, that's why ion lay a finger on them. Might pop them but Ian hitting them with no belt."

"Ight you done." Kaci took the thing off D'Aire for him to get up.

"Thank you uncle." He looked in the mirror.

"Fasho."

"Here." I paid him. Even tho he never wanted me to, I always did. "Ima call y'all later, I need y'all to help set up the pool for the fourth."

"Who know how to set up a pool?"

"It's for the kids but it's a lil big, y'all helping." I said leaving out.
