School day
"Dear diary it's Wednesday night I don't want to go to bed but I have school tomorrow. It's been a week since daddy took me to work with him but I'm still scared and it's hard to sleep sometimes but daddy has kissed me goodnight every night since then." The door to her room opens slowly as Roman enters the room.
"Hi sweetie, it's time to go to bed," He says quietly
"I don't want to I'm scared," She replies looking down at her dairy.
"Like I said before It won't happen again, come on get under the covers and I'll tuck you in." He grabs the diary and places it on the nightstand next to the bed while Rocky gets under the covers then he tucks her in and kisses her on the forehead. "good night sweetie and remember you have nothing to be afraid of." He turns off the light and closes the door. The next morning arrives and Rocky wakes up rubbing her eyes and yawning.
"Good morning Rocky did you sleep well?" Neo asks as she turns on the lights.
"Yeah," She says while yawning.
"That's good now get ready, you don't want to be late to school now do you?"
"Yes, I do," Rocky replies before Neo walks out of her room.
"That's my daughter, to bad I can't let you be late now get ready," She says while smiling.
"All right." Neo leaves the room while rocky gets ready for school and checks on Mint.
"Mint dear are you ready?" She asks and a second later Mint walks out of her room dressed and holding her favorite book. "Now dear don't you think you should leave the book at home?" Mint shakes her head. "Really, what if something happens to the book?" Mint shakes her head again. "All right fine but if something happens to the book don't cry." Mint smiles and nods her head, then walks past Neo into the living room. "Roman it's your turn to take the kids to school," Neo shouts down the hall.
"I know, do you know where my hat is?"
"It's on the table, hurry up or they'll be late."
"Found it, Alright kids time to go to school." The three of them leave and Neo lays on her bed and falls asleep. Meanwhile, Roman Drops the kids off at school "All right kids have fun." He says to the two of them sitting in the back seat.
"Bye, dad," Rocky says as she gets out of the car while Mint follows her, Roman drives away as the two enter the school then into different classrooms. The day goes slowly for Rocky as she daydreams as she waits for recess to come along. During her math class, Rocky looks out the window and sees that Mint and her grade outside for their recess which reminded her that her recess is coming up soon. She then stares at the clock for a few minutes which felt like an eternity to her, she then looks back out the window to see a boy trying to take Mint's book.
"Give it to me I want to see it." The boy shouts as he tugs on the book, Mint shakes her head and continues to pull the book closer to her. "Let me see it!" The boy shouts again, Mint pulls the book away from the boy.
"No!" Mint shouts and then she punches the boy in the face. The boy starts to cry which catches the attention of the rest of the grade and the teachers that were watching the kids. A crowd starts to form around Mint and the boy and when a teacher gets to the two of them the boy says that Mint hit him while Mint just holds on to her book. The teacher grabs her and takes her to the principles office. Mint walks into the principles office and sits down.
"Now Mint can you tell me what happened." Mint just stares at him and then looks down at her book. "Should I get your sister?" Mint looks up and shakes her head. "No? then I'll call your parents." Mint doesn't say anything as the principle calls Roman and Neo. Several minutes later the two walk into the office.
"So what's the problem, what did Mint do?" Roman asks in a casual manner.
"Well it seems she hit another student during recess, I want to know why she did this but she won't talk. I figured you two would be able to help."
"Wait she hit someone? Yay, she's learning." Neo exclaimed.
"Why would you promote that kind of behavior." The principle replied sounding surprised.
"what, you don't?" Neo says back to the principle.
"Of course not, we here at Light House elementary want this to be a safe place for the students and we-."
"We don't need to hear you silly speech, Neo you can Mint to talk right?"
"Yep, now Mint dear can you tell me what happened?" Mint walks over to Neo and whispers in her ear. "That's what happened? don't worry you did the right thing."
"What happened?" the principle asks.
"She punched the boy because he was trying to take her book."
"That's all, well Mint I should tell you that you should've asked a teacher for help instead of punching the boy." The principle says to Mint.
"Don't listen to him Mint you did the right thing," Neo says to her as she hugs her.
"What's done is done, the school day is almost over so we'll just take Mint home now. Let's go Neo." Roman says as he stands up and heads towards the door.
"Roman go get Rocky I'll head to the car," Neo says as she takes Mints hand and walks out of the principles office.
"Wait hold up for a moment-."
"Shut up we're done here," Roman says as he leaves the office. After a few minuets of walking, Roman finds Rocky's classroom and takes her out. "So did you have a good day of school today."
"Yeah," Rocky said still daydreaming a little.
"Why didn't you help your little sister when she was in trouble earlier today?"
"I was in class."
"Well, next time you help her you got that?"
"Yes, dad." The two walk down the hall and then out of the school and into the car after the four of them get home Neo plays with Mint while Roman helps Rocky with her homework. Later that night Rocky is writing in her diary.
"Dear diary today was odd, as usual, school was boring but Mint got in trouble today and dad seemed mad at me for not helping her But I didn't even know she got in trouble I would have helped her if I knew. But next time I'll help her I promised dad I would."
"Rocky it's bedtime," Roman says as he opens the door.
"Dad, I'm sorry I didn't help Mint today."
"It's all right Rocky you'll help her next time, now let me tuck you in."
"Yay." Rocky gets under the covers and Roman tucks her in and kisses her on the forehead.
"Good night Rocky."
"Good night dad."
