pallbearers. That’s why I loved him so much because he had been
my rock at a time in my life when I thought the walls were tumbling down on me.
Since then he had change dramatically.
    My thoughts were
interrupted when I heard the school’s bell ring for the students to change
classes. My eyes landed on Devin. He had taken the shoestrings out of his shoes
and was twirling them in the air. As much as I disliked doing it, I would be
nice to him and juice him for information.
    I mustered up a
phony smile, hoping that I could make him feel at ease. “So, Devin, does your
dad have any more girlfriends other than Luscious?” I pried.
    “Yep. His other
girlfriend’s name is Mika. That’s my baby brother’s mama. He just learned how
to walk. Mika gives me chocolate chip cookies every time I go to her house.” He
leaned back, let out a loud yawn, and then burped.
    He nearly fell out
of his chair laughing about it. He was so tickled that tear drops were spilling
from his eyes.
    “Aarrrgh.” He let
out another huge burp and  laughed harder.
    "Devin! Where
are your manners?"
    My admonishment was
ignored. He raised his shirt sleeve up to his shoulder and cupped his right
hand under the opposite armpit. 
    "Stop it,
Devin," I said, knowing what he was up to.
    "Stop
what?" He giggled. Then he quickly lowered his elbow, and made his armpit
make a farting noise.
    He laughed so hard
no sound came out, and he sat there clapping like a seal. I shook my head
hoping he would quit clowning and talk to me.
    I uncrossed my legs
and leaned forward. “ Why don’t you show me
where Luscious and Mika live?”
    He
looked at me out of the corner of his eye. “I’m not showing you nothing,” he
objected. He licked his small lips and put his forefinger into his nose, stirred
it with pleasure, brought out the dried nasal mucus, rubbed it between his
forefinger and his thumb, and ejected it with his fingernails. An icky booger
landed on my desk.
    “Eww! Now you’re
just being a nasty nuisance.” I cut my eyes at him.
    The
sight of that made me want to vomit. I had just eaten lunch, and it felt like
it wanted to come up.
    I used some
sanitizer from a small bottle in my purse along with a wad of tissue from the
bottom drawer to wipe the area clean. I grabbed the box of Kleenex from my desk
and handed him two.
    He snatched them
from my hand and used one of them to dig in his nose. I felt like grabbing my
stapler and smacking him across the head with it until he passed out, but I
needed his cooperation.
    “ Devin, stop
clowning for a second, will you? ” I was
becoming exasperated.
    “Okey
doke.”
    “ If I give you ten
dollars and take you to the store to buy candy will you show me where Luscious
lives? ” I bribed, but the little heathen was
game tight.
    “ Nope, you gotta
gimme twenty. ”
    “Fine.”
    He cheesed and
tossed his shoelaces on the floor.
    I opened my desk
drawer and handed him twenty dollars out of my Louis Vuitton handbag. When I
knelt down to put his shoelaces back in the eyelets, his mannish behind slapped
me on my butt.
    “Drop
it to the flo', Shawty”
    I gasped.
    “That’s not cute,
and it’s very disrespectful. I’m going to have to teach you some manners, ” I lectured.
    He dropped his
head. “I’m sorry.”
    Finally, he was
being respectful. I knew that he couldn't be all bad.
    “Sike!” he yelled
out.
    “Ugh!” I snorted, and
then continued lacing his shoes.
    “That’s too tight,”
he whined.
    I suppressed a
snicker, and then I knelt down and loosened his laces. "Is that
better?" I asked.
    He nodded his head
vigorously.
    "Let's go,
Devin."
    My foot was out of
the door, and he was behind me. “I got to doo doo,” he uttered.
    I spun around.
"Ugh! Not now," I complained.
     His hand was on
his butt, and he was jumping from foot to foot.
    I rubbed the back
of my neck to relieve some of the stress that he was causing me.
    “ You have to go
to the bathroom, Devin. That is the proper way to say
