“Glad you could join us, Ms. Phillips.” A teacher said to me. She was a sassy black teacher who thought she knew everything. “Even though you’re late.”

“Madjesty.” I said knowing she would never call me by my nickname Mad. “My mother’s name is Ms. Phillips.”
Everyone in class laughed.
“Don’t get smart with me young lady. This is my classroom, not the other way around.” She started writing on the blackboard.
The words
young lady
made me want to walk right back out the door. “Look, I’m just in here to do my work. Leave me the fuck alone. Okay?” I took my seat.
“What did you just say?” she said, the chalk in her hand still against the blackboard.
“I said leave me the fuck alone.”
“Madjesty Phillips,” she turned around, “you leave my class this instant!” she yelled. “I’m not about to take your insubordination or your distraction especially considering you’re hardly ever here!”
I walked up to her, spit in her face and said, “Good because I quit!”
“OUT NOW!!!!!!!” She yelled wiping the spit off of her nose.
I laughed all the way out the door. I know she was going to tell the principal but I was never coming back. There wasn’t shit school could do for me.
Right before I made it to the school exit I saw Ursula Givens, Glitter’s mom coming inside. She smirked at me and walked into my path. I hadn’t seen her since the day I fucked her and never got a chance to offer my condolences.
“Mrs. Givens, I’m sorry about your daughter. I cared about her a lot.”
She laughed. “You didn’t even come to the funeral. How did you care about her?”
“I couldn’t see her like that. But I did love her. Still do.”
“Oh…is that why you fucked me, stole my money and wrote dyke on my car?” She paused. “And then never called?”
Why would she want me to call? “Mrs. Givens, what are you doing here?”
“I’m here to see what this principal is going to do about you in this school. I think you’re a danger to other students.”
She must’ve been crazy. “No need…Mrs. Givens…because I quit today.”
She wasn’t smiling anymore. “Now if you’ll excuse me I gotta catch a cab.”
She put her hands on me. “Why don’t you come over my house so we can talk about this. My son is gonna be gone all day.” She smiled.
“I’m not coming over your house. That was a mistake and ain’t happening no more.”
She frowned. “Then I’ma go to the police. And tell them I think you were responsible for Glitter’s murder.”
“Don’t do that.” I said. “It won’t be good for you.”
“We’ll see about that.”
“Okay,” I paused. “But remember you were warned.”
