Chapter: 12

Harlem POV:

I woke you an hour early, getting ready for school. I did my routine shower, brush my teeth and put my clothes on. I was ready in 20 minutes, I gather my red hoodie and my bag and headed downstairs, the moment I enter the kitchen I wish I could just turn back around. There was my father sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. I looked around to see if my mother was present, before I could say something my father spoke.

“ If you are looking for your mother, she is not here. I will take you and Jessika to school this morning.”

“ I will rather walk, you can take Jessika to school” I said going into the refrigerator grabbing a bottle of water and a pear.

“ Look Harlem, there no need for you to be walking to school. I mean you are familiar with this town yet”

“ I can manage, I walked home by myself yesterday I know where the school is at. Excuse me I have to get going”

“ When are you going to get over this bullshit ass attitude?”

“ Excuse me?”
