Naomi

I'm on my way to work with my daughter in the backseat of my black BMW. My mother insisted that I bring her with me.

She was very excited, she couldn't stop talking about how she can wait to be at school. She asked if she should wear a school uniform, making me laugh.

I've been a teacher at Greenland high school for 20years now. I'm 23 years old. I get annoyed trailing my hand through my hair, the traffic is bad today. I sight seeing the cars in front not moving.

I'm excited, I'm going to see my Mate. I look now and then through my rearview mirror at my baby girl who plays games on her tablet. When we finally arrived at school, I found my parking spot. "Honey, we are here," I told her.

"It's about time mom, does it take so long to get to school? she asked, while I helped her out of the car. I raise my brows at her, "yes honey" I told you mos.

She chuckled, "it was long mommy, if it's going to take so long then I don't want to go to school anymore" , she told me, pouting at me.

I rolled my eyes, "If you say so honey then we'll just see, now come one let's go." I said taking my bags. I can't imagine how fast she had grown.

We walk to my class, greeting the other kids feeling a little sad not smelling that familiar scent that drives me Insane.

"You alright mommy", I heard my daughter ask me, she is so concerned about her mother that's why I love her so much. She likes to take care of others, forgetting that she is just a child and who is also important.

"Yes, my baby mommy is fine. Why is that?" I asked.

"You look a little sad for me,"she said.

" No honey I'm fine, are you happy to be here baby? "I ask her to take her hand in mine.

" Yes mommy is very excited", she smiled showing her few small teeths.

"Is this my beautiful little sheep?"I turned around and smiled at my beautiful friend. I didn't know how much I miss her until now.

"Aunty Naomi ",LJ chuckled, running up to her and hugging her.

"Hello my beautiful baby sheep", she said, hugging her and kissing her like I did this morning, making my baby laugh, "I have missed you so much my little thing" , my friend said.

"Aunty Naomi please stop it now, I'm not a baby anymore." she told her making us laugh

"Oh really, is that so?" Naomi sled friend asked with her left brow raise, "when did my baby sheep grow up so fast", she ask tickling LJ making her laugh so hard.

"Okay now you two", I stepped up, "that's enough" , I told them, still laughing... You see baby, that's what you get when you are too big for your shoes", I told her looking at my daughter.

"You two are so mean and nasty", she said,making us laugh "and for saying I had missed you so much aunt Naomi", she said looking at her.

My friend cooed at my baby girl, "you are just my little beautiful baby sheep and I love you so much" , she said while playing with LJ cheeks.

I walked up to her giving her a hug, "my friend, I missed you so much ", she said, holding me in her arms.

"I miss you a lot" I smiled at her looking at how beautiful she is, who would have thought we was once in love with each other but that was in the past.

"Are you fine? she asked me

" Yes I'm Fine and you. "I asked her back happily.

"You know I'm Always fine" , she said, smiling back.

"You happy being with mommy at school today" I heard my friend ask my baby while I told the learners in my class to be quiet.

"Yes and I can't wait to go to school myself" , she said jumping up and down

There was a loud boom noise coming from Naomi's class which startled us a little, "I have missed this", she pointed to her class, "we will meet at lunch today, love, when duty calls", she told me and left us and hurried back to her class.

I put my bags on my table and sit down on my chair waiting for the learners to get quiet, but it looks like they are so busy with their own things not seeing me. After a while of waiting for them to get quiet which they don't. I get so annoyed and get off from my chair and bang hard on my board with my fits, no feeling any pain, seeing LJ close her ears by the hard noise, finally getting the attention of the class, they look at me and I was kind of angry.

"Are you done now? I ask them not to get an answer from them. Making me ask a little harder again

"maybe you don't hear me nah" I ask looking at them, "Are you done? !!

" Yes ma'am" I heard them.

"It seems like you have forgotten that I Am, who's class this is. The last time I checked I was not dead, giving you a reason to make noise. I don't know what you have being taught by your others teacher last year but here it's order and respect,and if you can't handle it there's the door, do yourself that favor." I told them with my furrowed brows looking at them.

"Yes I know that you guys are happy and everything to be back, but please this is a damn class not a tarven and next door is a class too which they can hear you. Can you please kept your holidays gossip for yourself or when you not in my class, and after that noise you've just made I forbid you not to say a word any further, Do you understand me? I ask with authority in my voice.

"Yes ma'am", they said

"Thank you and I'm glad we understand each other.

This is going to be a long day.
