Chapter 7 — Baby Johnathan

*eyes pops open* *eyes rotates toward the clock* *clock says 6:33 a.m.* "urrrggghh" I slowly slide out of my bed, and heads for the bathroom. My little brother, joey, was sleeping right next to me. *walks inside the bathroom* *turns on the water* As I lean forward on the sink, I watched the steam turn into fog. The warm fog slowly covered the mirror, and my face. *knock knock* The knocking at the door distracted me. *heads to the door* *cracks the door open* I was so sleepy that all I saw was little baby bears. "You ready to take your bath, joey?", I mumbled while opening up the door. Joey walked inside. Joey reached out for me to carry him, but instead, I just took his pjs off of him. *joey begins to cry* I carry him into the bath tub. I quickly took him a bath. I carried him back into the room, and quickly got his clothes out of the closet. I quickly dried him off with his towel, and helped him put his clothes and shoes on. By the time i put my clothes on, and grabbed our book bags, the time was already 6:55 a.m. I quickly made joey some cereal. When he finished his cereal, I grabbed the keys. I quickly grabed joey's hand, and headed out. *exits the apartment* *locks the door* *heads downstairs* Joey and I began to walk to school. *holds joey's hand tightly* (15 minutes later) *opens classroom's door* *walks inside classroom* "Alright, joey I want you to be a good boy today, ok, i will pick you up afterschool" "Choco...please dont go" *joey starts to pout* *looks at joey* "Hold on" *joey nods* I pulled out my phone out, and called mr.lawerence, my homeroom teacher. "hello?" "Hi, mr.lawerence, it's me, chocolate" "Hi chocolate,what may I do for you?" "I was wondering if I could bring my brother to school with me today" "humph...i don't know, chocolate" "How about around lunch time?" "You have to be back before advisory" "Okay" "Okay, bye" "Bye" *hangs up the phone* *walks towards to joey's teacher* "Okay, my teacher said that around 12 p.m., I can pick up joey" "Okay, I will have his homework prepared for you to pick up" "Okay" *turns towards joey* "I'm going to pick you up early, ok" "Ok" *kisses joey on the forehead and walks out the classroom* *exits the school* *walks off the school's property* (10 minutes later) *Opens school's front door* *runs to the class before the late bell* *enters class* *heads to my seat* *late bell rings* As I walk towards my seat, timothy sling shot a pencil at my booty. *pauses* *picks up pencil from the ground* * places pencil back on timothy's desk* "I think you dropped this, tim, maybe next time, you'll be more careful" *pinches timothy's cheek* (laughter in the background) * continues back walking to my desk* *sits down* As I look around the room, I kept noticing timothy staring at me with rosy red cheeks. *enters carman, sharlene, and shaie* "Awe snap!!...who made you blush this time best friend". Timothy turned around from looking at me. *carman looks at me* "Chocolate made you blush, already?!" *carman laughs* "You know, to be real with you, you are horrible at this hard to get game" "Geesh..thanks" "Glad to be at your service" *carman chuckles*

(Far on the other side of the classroom)

"Bobby!!" "What is it, shay?" *shay walks over towards bobby, and sits on his lap* "We need to talk" "About?" "Umm...we need to talk in private" "Ok" *Mr.lawerence stands up* "Alright..settle down, class" *everyone sits down* "Since we are only three days away from graduation day..." *entire class cheers* "This is a time to what..chocolate!" I stand up and tells shay, carman, and sharlene to stand up with me. *whispers* "One..two..three" "This is time tooooo....TURN UP!!" *blast music* *eveyone starts dancing* We danced all the way to lunch time. Instead of eating school lunch, Mr.lawerence and the principle bought us lunch. When I looked at the time on my watch, it was 11:55 a.m. "oh snap" I grabbed my bag, and signaled to mr.lawerence that I was leaving to go get my brother. *mr.lawerence nods* *exits the classroom* *timothy sneeks out the classroom and follows me out the building* *timothy runs up besides me* "Hey, where you think you going?" *ignores timothy and kept walking* "Look..i'm sorry about what had happened in class today" *slightly looks at timothy* "Look...it's fine, you were only going through Jerk phase 1" *opens classroom door* Joey turns around. "Choco!!!" *joey runs and gives me great big hug* *carries joey* *walks over to the teacher's desk and signs joey out* *exits classroom* *softly places joey on the ground* Joey notices timothy standing outside. "Timmy!!" *timothy swoops joey into the air* "What's up, big man" "Put him down because we need to start walking" *timothy places joey on the ground* *joey quickly grabs my hand* *timothy walks beside me* 

(5 minutes later)

*enters classroom**heads towards mr.lawerence* Mr.lawerence hands me my lunch. Joey could smell the good food coming from my lunch bag. I headed towards a large table. *joey follows**sits down* Joey quickly jumps onto my lap. Timothy grabbed his lunch and sat next to me and joey. I looked at timothy and said, "Don't you usually sit with Carmen and Sharlene?" Timothy looks at them with disgust and said," I hate sharlene", continues,"carmen would understand" I looked at timothy, and said," understand what?!...that you had a crush on me since the 6th grade, and that you only went out with sharlene to make me jealous?" Timothy was silent. "Right.....you seriously thought that i didnt know" Timothy stared at me as i fed joey his lunch. "I...I'm sorry" I ignored him. Timothy got up from the table, and sat his desk. I refused to feel pity for him. *tugs at my shirt**looks down* "choco...i got to peepee" "Ok..lets go" *gets up**walks up to mr.lawerence**whispers* "Can you watch my stuff as i take my brother to the restroom?" *mr.lawerence nods* *exits classroom**enters ladies restroom**enters stall**Joey begins to use it.* "You done, joey?" *joey nods**opens restroom stall**stands face to face with sharlene and her sister, toshia* Toshia spits on the floor. Joey looks at toshia and screams," you are disguisting, creep!!" *joey kicks toshia**I smiles* "Let's go wash your hands, joey" *walks to sink**washes joeys hands**exits restroom**enters classroom**walks towards the table**sits down* "Come on joey ...let's get you something to do" *pulls out some paper and color pencils* "Here draw on these" *joey begins to color* *dozes off a bit* *phone vibrates* I quickly answered. "Hello?" *sobs* "Hello? whose this?" "My little angel..." "mom?" *joey quickly looks at me* "Hello darling...im soo sorry that i haven't been there for you and joey the past 3 years" "Its...its ok...its fine" "No its not fine because i should have been there for you as a mother" *baby cries in the background* "seems like you have a new child" "Yes...and its a girl...you're new baby sister" "Well, congrats on that one" "You don't sound happy, baby girl...what's wrong?" "It's because im not...you expect me to be all kool-aid smiles and screaming with joy for the new one. Let me guess...when it was born, you said she was a gift from god,right?...well guess what?! Bad news for you...its not! Joey barely remembers your name, face,and voice..matter fact, he barely remembers a thing about you, only reason why he knows that he has a mom is because i allowed him too. Other than that..he has been calling me mom, but each time i have to tell him that im his sister and that mother has died n has left you to me..*tears flow from my eyes*...n each time i cry only because the true fact is that my own mother has left us because she wanted to love a stranger rather than her own children...by the way, my graduation day is Monday at 10:00am, but whats the point of telling you when your husband wont even let you out of his sight" *hangs up**starts to cry**runs out of the classroom**joey begins to throw a tantrum**mr.lawerence runs after me*" chocolate...what's wrong...please tell me what's wrong?" *looks at mr.lawerence* "My mother just called me out of the blue" "what did she want?" "she wanted to brag about her 3 year old daughter". Joey stands in the middle of the hallway with his teddy bear. "Choco...im scared" *walks towards joey* "Mr.lawerence, i need to go now" "Okay" *heads out the school* *holds joey's hand*

(15 minutes later)

*heads up the stairs**opens the door* "Come on, joey" *joey walks inside**closes the door* "Come on joey...lets go change your clothes" Joey runs into his room, and jumps on the bed. *enters room**Joey starts to quickly take off his clothes**pulls out joey's clothes**helps joey put on his clothes* " go watch tv" *joey runs into the tv room**walks into the kitchen* "what you want to eat?"

As joey was watching tv, gorge and I walked to my room. *closes the door* *gorge sits on the bed* "It's been so long" "I know right" "You know i miss you, right?" "I miss you too, sis" "Now, you know that we are not real siblings...it's a title we use outside my room" " Yeah, I know, but what if we..." "Shhh....please don't doubt us. If only you knew, that the thought of you gives me strength and courage to get through life itself" *gorge softly kisses me on the lips* "What was that for, gorge?" "It's a thank you" "Well, here's my thank you" *locks the door*
