Growing Pains [Finished]

Part 14

Messiah shook his head.

"I'm not giving it to her." He said. "Well at least not today."

"That's a bad idea." Derrick said.

Messiah shrugged and they started walking towards the exit.

"Hi Messiah." He heard some girl say.

He smiled at her.

"All the girls want you." Derrick said.

"No, they wanna meet my mama." Messiah said laughing.

Derrick laughed.

"Well I hope you live past the week." Derrick said.

"Me too." He said as they walked out the door. "There my mama."

They dapped up and Messiah started walking towards the car.

"Hey ma." Messiah said when he got in.

"Hey." She said then drove off. "How was school?"

"It was cool, nothing crazy."

Beyoncé nodded.

"What song y'all working on today?" Messiah asked.

"Oh, now you wanna be in my studio. I thought you was down with Roc Nation? What happened with all that?" Beyoncé asked.

"Why you jealous?" He asked laughing.

"Boy, whatever." She said.

The talked some more before Beyoncé pulled up to Papa John's.

"Go in there and get the pizza and wings." Beyoncé said.

She gave him the money and he got out. Beyoncé's phone rung.

"Hello?" Beyoncé answered.

"Hello Ms. Knowles this is Mrs. Matthews. Messiah's advisor."

"Oh, hi how are you?" Beyoncé asked.

"I'm good. I'm just making my rounds letting parents know that third quarter report cards came out today and your son is in our orange zone for his Science class." She said.

"Oh, he is." Beyoncé said as she eyed Messiah's back in the Papa John's.

"Yes." She said. "His teachers comments were poor test grades and quizzes, disruptive and absences."

"Okay, is there a way I can set up a parent teacher conference to get Messiah back on track with his studies?"

"Yes, I can set that up." She said. "Will after school tomorrow work for you?"

"Yes it will." Beyoncé said as she watched Messiah get the pizza and wings. "Thank you so much for calling."

"No problem Ms. Knowles." She said and they ended their conversation.

Messiah came out and opened the back door and sat the pizzas down with the bag of wings and soda's. Messiah then got in the front seat and put on his seatbelt.

Beyoncé drove off and glanced at Messiah.

"Anything happen at school today?" Beyoncé asked.

"No." He said shaking his head. "Ma, you missed the exit for the studio."

"I know I gotta pick up something at the house." She said.

Messiah nodded.

"I want you to change out of your uniform too."

"Okay."

Beyoncé was getting madder as she drove. She gave him two chances to tell the truth. Before the phone call and after and he still decided to lie. Wouldn't report cards coming out be something going on in school?
