I pulled around a corner with a sharp turn. I was at work this morning in a meeting about a new skyscraper that we were building in midtown when my assistant came in and told me I had a call from Goode. It was the principal of Goode, I think his name was Mr. Jamstead, Saying that Kylie was failing 9th grade English.

I took another sharp corner into the Goode parking lot pulling my black Mercedes Benz G550 into a parking spot in the front of the building.

I walked up the stairs which proved to be a challenge in 4 inch stilettos but I made it to the top safely patting down my skirt and bloused and adjusting my necklace before going inside.

It must've been between periods or a break time because everyone at Goode was standing at the lockers in the hall. It was a sea of grey skirts and pants with red blazers. I maneuvered through the halls getting looks from some kids. Where was this damn office?

I stopped and looked around and spotted Brady with some guys over by the senor lockers I started walking over my heels clicking on the floor. I approached the boys and Brady spotted me. You see I knew Brady wouldn't yell at me for coming up in front of his friends especially since I had know most of the ones standing with him since thy were in kinder garden.

"Mom why are you here?" Brady asked.

"That's none of your business where's the principals office." I told him.

"You tell me why and I tell you where." He said trying to bargain with me.

"Or I can send your car to an impound lot." I said not missing a beat.

"Down the hall to the left." He said a little scared knowing I would actually do that.

"Thank you." I said just as Remi Dallas and Jade walked over.

"Mom why are you here?" Remi asked we officially had the attention of the entire school.

"Working out some stuff, but you too," I said pointing between Brady and Remi, "Need to rock paper scissors who takes Liam home because I have some stuff to do and Percy will forget."

"What about Kylie?" Remi asked.

"Don't worry about her." I said looking down the hall. "I'll see you tonight okay?"

I got a bunch of byes. I heard whispers going down the hall as I walked away.

That's Mrs. Jackson she's Brady, Remi, Liam, and Kylie's mom. She's married to that former Yankee Percy Jackson. She looks so much like Remi. She looks so pretty and young.

I just ignored them and walked into a room at the end of the hallway to the left labeled Administration.

I saw Kylie sitting outside the office labeled Principal.

"Lets go." I told her opening the door so she could enter and me to follow.

The office was filled with pictures from different school events and a whole bunch of Goode pride stuff. A man in his mid forties sat behind the desk and looked up when we came in.

"Hello Mrs. Jackson, Kylie." He said shaking our hands and motioning for us to take a seat. He had on tan slacks with a white button up and a blue patterned tie. He had light chestnut hair and a soft kind smile. He actually reminded me a lot of Paul.

"Now Mrs. Jackson I called you here today because Kylie failed her last English test and has dropped to a 59 in the class. I gave Kylie a shocked look she was avoiding eye contact with me.

"Has she ever mentioned having trouble with English to you or your husband." He asked me.

It took me a second to recover from F shock by I shook me head. "No she hasn't mentioned it ever."

"Okay so my piece of advice is too get her an English tutor, were only two months into second semester so there is time to pull it up to a B but if she wants an A it will be very hard but if she's dedicated she can."

"Oh she is going to be very dedicated." I said in a tone making sure Kylie knew it was time for her to step in.

"I'll try harder." she said not unenthusiastically but defiantly not dedicated sounded.

"How do we do this tutoring is it through the school or should we find one?" I asked him.

"We have a great set of tutors on campus that would love to work with her during study halls." He told me.

"Okay can I have my husband call tomorrow and set that up?" I asked.

"Yes definitely, and here is a folder of her last test along with the two before it if you two want to look it over." He said handing me a plain folder which I put in my grey Burkin.

"Thank you so much and we will be working on this." I said as we stood up to leave Kylie and I shaking his hand.

Kylie and I walked out of the office it had been a little over an hour since I arrived and everyone once again was out in the halls. They all must have been going to lunch because a few had lunch boxes.

I spotted Remi talking with some guy in a Varsity letter jacket and rolled my eyes. If Percy was here he would be having a fit, I thought.

Remi caught me eye and saw me walking out with Kylie and I spotted Brady and Liam starring too. I looked over to Kylie and we walked by Carter and Max's daughters Blair and Diana. Kylie mouthed Help me as we walked by.

I got into the drivers seat Kylie in the passenger and we drove out of the parking lot on to the busy New York street.

"So you wanna tell me what's going on?" I asked not taking my eyes off the road.

"I'm stupid what can I say." Kylie said looking out the window as the grey clouds opened up and water fell from the sky.

"Your not stupid and don't ever say that again, you are very smart you don't have it in you to be stupid.

"Really cause I may be half you and your brains but I'm half dad too."

I nodded she did have a point. "Honey your a very smart girl so theres got to be a reason your failing." I said, "Is there a cute boy in your class that's distracting you?" I asked

"No mom."

"Do you like the teacher?"

"Yes."

"Do you have trouble understanding the information?"

"No."

"Well it's something because its almost impossible to fail regular freshman english." I told her pulling up to a stop light. "I mean Liam's in honors English and he's doing fine."

The next thing I knew Kylie had opened her door and got out into the rain.

"KYLIE GET BACK IN THE CAR!" I yelled at her pulling over to the side letting all the honking cars behind me pass.

"What if I don't want to!" She yelled her black waves sopping wet plastered to her face in the pouring rain.

"This is not funny Kylie!" I yelled out the window, "Get in the car!"

She just ignored me and kept walking. I groaned and turned off the car taking off my shoes and leaving my handbag in the car. I opened the door getting out to go after her.

"Kylie stop walking away!" I yelled my blonde curls also now sopping wet my clothes soaked.

She didn't even look back but kept walking.

"KYLIE MESI JACKSON YOU STOP WHERE YOU FUCKING ARE RIGHT NOW AND WALK YOUR ASS BACK OVER HERE!" I Yelled at her.

"Why!" She yelled turing around to face me. "So you can tell me how much of a disappointment I am!" How I will never be as smart as Liam, or as pretty as Remi, or as athletic as Brady!"

Each word cut deep how could she say that?

"I'm sorry that I made JV Cheer and JV Field Hockey and will probably make JV Lacrosse when Remi made varsity for all three sports her Freshamn year!" If it wasn't raining I would be able to see the tears run down her face. She hiccuped and continued. "I'm sorry I'm not on the head of schools list every semester like Liam, Brady, and Remi!"

She whispered something that any normal day I wouldn't be able to hear but I could read her lips. I'm sorry I've disappointed.

She just continued to look at the ground waiting for me to yell at her for ruining my hair, outfit, and make-up. Any normal day I would've said she was acting like a brat and needed to get back into the car but right in this moment I didn't do any of those things.

I hugged her.

I held onto her letting her cry in the pouring rain.

"Honey I don't resent you for not having a perfect GPA or not making varsity. Everyone's human you have to work towards goals and don't ever think that your dad and I aren't proud of you because we are so proud. Each of you guys are unique. Remi and Brady are athletic and smart and Liam is smart and nice but you are so social. You can talk to any person and make fiends with anyone and I admire you for that so much. And don't say your dumb because you make Bs and As in all other classes and we'll work on English together. I just sometimes forget that some subjects don't come as easily for some as they did for me. You are worth so much to me and Daddy don't you forget it." I whispered in her ear.

She hugged me tighter if possible.

"Is there anything else bothering you?" I asked.

She nodded her head. "Since you and Daddy are immortal what happens when we get older and die and you have more kids...I'm just worried you are going to forget me." She said hiccuping again.

I stood in shock. It had never crossed my mind before. Well of course I knew that I would have more ids eventually but I didn't think my kids would worry about being forgotten.

"Honey I will have more kids as time passes on but you four will always have such a special place in my heart Brady will always be my first baby and and Remi will always be my first girl and you and Liam will always be my little twins. And no matter how many babies I have you will always be the baby Kylie your dad and I could never ever forget any of you and you should never question that because we love you four so much there aren't even words for it."

I held her for a little longer not even noticing the rain but eventually we went a block down to a coffee shop to get some hot coca. The clerk gave us a funny look because we were wet with makeup probably running down our faces. We cozied up to the fire and Kylie told me all about this boy she liked, James Freebell, He was a sophomore in her history and movement for actors class. He played baseball and football with Brady and Liam and could sing really well. She told me that she wanted to go to FIT in New York to work in fashion when she was older but wanted to live in London when she was older.

I asked about the boy Remi was talking to in the hallway as we were walking out and she said his name was Andrew Samuels and he was a wide receiver on the football team and he played lacrosse and basket ball. Remi really liked him and he was in her english and math class but he hadn't asked her out yet.

We talked about what our spring break plans should be because it would be the last one as a family before Brady went to college and I heard all the gossip about all of my friends kids.

When we finally left it had stopped raining and we had dried off but we still looked like messes. We drove home singing to thrift shop by Macklemore and walked into the house laughing. Remi Brady and Liam were sitting around the kitchen island with Percy. Each had work spread out. I knew there was a huge calc test Brady was taking tomorrow which he was studying for. And Remi was taking her last SAT next weekend so she had he SAT prep book open. Kylie went up stairs to clean up. Percy and the kids sent me a curious look and I just smiled walking into mine and Percy's room to change. Maybe we were doing something right.
