Tammy that she knew everything that was going on with her little boy. He’s not so little anymore.
Jabari replied, “Yeah… Everything’s fine. I guess… Well my Spanish teacher wants you to come in tomorrow.” She could tell Jabari was trying to downplay the situation.
Tammy almost slammed on the brakes in surprise. She was a little bit frustrated too. Jabari was supposed to be doing everything right keep his place at Willowcrest Prep and now his Spanish teacher wanted her to come in? What was going on? If that boy is acting up in class I swear to God…
“Everything’s fine but your teacher wants me to come in? What the hell has been going on Jay?” Tammy said. She realized she was raising her voice. I need to calm down. It wasn’t that she was truly angry with Jabari, she was just scared. She knew that everything in her life was tenuous and she wanted Jabari to have this wonderful opportunity. Tammy knew she had messed up in not using her Willowcrest education to do something truly impressive. She didn’t want her son to take all of this for granted. Her parents were rich, but Tammy wasn’t. Jabari didn’t have the option of being an heir.
Jabari had a feeling his mother would react like this. He sighed and rolled his eyes. “It’s not that serious… I’m just having a little trouble and my teacher thinks for some reason you could help,” Jabari said.
His sass wasn’t lost on Tammy, but she didn’t have time to reply to it. She couldn’t stop thinking about what could possibly be going wrong. She wanted the best for Jabari and she was concerned that he had managed to hide the fact that he wasn’t doing very well in Spanish from her. Now that you’re bored with things get older Tammy was starting to lose the ability to keep track of his every move.
Tammy agreed to go meet with Jabari’s teacher the next day. The rest of the drive home, she tried to ask Jabari questions about school. She couldn’t stand the idea of losing her friendship with her son. Tammy was scared that the older Jabari got, the more distant their relationship would become. That had happened with her parents and Tammy hadn’t been able to mend her relationship with her father. Now, it was too late.
Tammy found out that Jabari had five new friends. She was thrilled and surprised. Tammy had always seen Jabari as a quiet boy who didn’t interact too much with other people. Apparently, surrounded by so many people he got along with, Jabari had found more than two people who shared his interests. Everyone else thought he was cool either because he was new or because of his interest in engineering.
Jabari was also starting to become closer to the people in his soccer team. Although he was on junior varsity, everyone was encouraging him to try out for the varsity team. Tammy couldn’t have been more proud. She had worked hard since she was 18 years old to raise her son to be the best man he could be. Tammy was a child raising a child, but she’d put her very best effort into Jabari. He wasn’t quite a man yet, but Tammy felt like he was getting close. Each day, Jabari seemed just a little bit savvier and wiser. He had even gone through one massive growth spurt and he was still shooting up like a beanstalk. Within a year, Tammy was sure her son would tower over her.
At home, Jabari did his homework under Tammy’s somewhat watchful eye. She made them a simple lentil soup for dinner and then left Jabari to read a book as she retired upstairs to her bedroom. As Tammy watched reruns of her favorite show, she started to realize how lonely she was. Sure she had Jabari, but he couldn’t be her only company all the time. When her friends were out of state, Tammy was sometimes is forced to confront the fact that she was single.
She had been single for almost 4 years now, and sometimes she felt like she was comfortable with it. Other times, Tammy wanted nothing more than to have a man she
