The next day as I got Ready for school Emily was also getting ready for her first day at preschool and Tony was sleeping soundly. "Ready Emily?" I asked as I packed her lunch into her backpack. "Yes, I'm ready." I gave her the backpack and went to get Tony. He was still fast asleep. I strapped him around my waist again and headed out.
"Emily we are going to walk to Lilly's house then to school. Alright?" she grabbed my hand, "Alright." I could see she was nervous, "Emily relax. Lilly will help you and the teacher is very nice." She took a deep breath and relaxed.
When we stopped at Lilly's house she came running out, "Emily help me!" tears rolled down her eyes. I crouched and hugged her carefully not to squish Tony. "What's wrong Lilly? What happened?" she turned around and I saw Amy approaching. "Amy what did you do to her?" she laughed, "I thought her a lesson. I'm her sister not you." "Amy did you forget the things you said yesterday? You're not related to her in any way possible. I recorded everything and once I give it to Asher or the mayor you will be in jail for lying and deceiving the mayor. Do you want that?" she looked shocked. I grabbed Lilly's hand and walked away.
As we arrived at school, I gave each of them a hug. "Please take care of one another alright? I come and pick you up after school." they smiled and nodded and as they walked into the building I walked to school cupping Tony's face. Why are you so cute? I'm glad you can stay with me today even if I get bullied. I know you will be safe at least.
I walked into the school building people staring at me and Tony. But I didn't care. I walked to the principal's office, "Sir I called last night to inform you." he nodded, "Yes today the teachers will be walking to different classes and Sir Asher said if you have any problems, you can tell me, and I'll inform him." I smiled at Asher's mention. "I will do sir." then I excused myself.
I quickly walked to class and sat down in my chair. I unstrapped Tony and held him in my arms. He opened his eyes and smiled at me, I smiled back, I then whispered to him, "Morning sleepy head." he made a cooing noise. Then the bell rang. The kids in class started walking in not noticing Tony. When the girls walked in, they immediately saw him and squealed. They walked up to me, more like speed walked, as they stopped at my table they asked, "Can we hold him?" Tony then cried. I looked at them, "Sorry he's not use to so many people."
They glared at me and walked away. I sighed in relieve. As the teacher walked in everyone was quiet. As class started, I took notes and paid attention to both Tony and the teacher, even though I was tired after taking care of Tony the whole night.
After lunch, Tony fell asleep, and I laid my head against the table and closed my eyes. Then the teacher entered with the students behind her as the class began. I was too tired to open my eyes and then I felt someone's arm around me. I looked up to see Asher smiling at me, "Why are you here?" I asked sleepily. He smiled and replied, "I came to see how my girlfriend was doing. And it seems you are very tired."
"Well, I had someone keeping me awake." I said and yawned. He laughed. "Then get some rest. I'll take notes for you and take care of Tony." I sat up, "What about your job? You should be working not be here." Then Amy walked up to us and said, "Are you really dating this poor person?" he glared at her then kissed me.
As he pulled away, I was shocked and so was everyone else in the room. Then he got up and said, "I am. Now stop insulting my girlfriend." he looked angry. Amy then scoffed and went to her seat. The class went silent as Asher turned to me.
The school day ended and as I walked to my car Asher followed me, "You sure you can drive? You look very tired." I smiled at him and said, "Hopefully. But I'll be careful since Tony will be in the car and later Emily will join us. Should I still go pick Lilly up or will you get her?" he looked at me then smiled, "I will go get the girls and drop Emily off by you. So, you can get some rest." he kissed my forehead. I looked at him and smiled tiredly, "Will do." then I got in my car. And drove away.
