Chapter 8

  "Nervous?" I asked Ben with a smile.

  "I am." Ben nervously smiles back but with eagerness in his eyes.

  "You'll be doing great on your first day baby. You always do."

  When we arrive at his school, I held his hand tight as we walk together to the building. I can tell he was nervous but he was trying his best not to freak out. I walk him to his classroom and to be honest, I feel like I was much more nervous than Ben when we reached his school. I know how it goes in schools and there are always going to be bullies which is one of the reasons why I am scared about. Ben’s a very nice kid and he’s too good that I am scared other kids will bully him because he doesn’t have a father.

  I squat down before him as I push his curly hair off from his forehead. He smiles at me sweetly and kisses my cheek then hugs me.

  "Thank you for driving me to school for my first day mommy." He says too adorably that it’s warming my heart.
