Why me so likkle bit and nuff?

Young girl!

If I had just kept my mouth shut and minded my business, none of this would have happened.

At least you know.

Let me get into how it all started.

I was walking home on my way from school, I left early because of period cramps and being a sixth former gave me the privilege of leaving early.

Sun hot yuh fret!

I should have called my brother to come pick me up but no, I decided to walk.

Belly pain plus hot sun equals death.

Joke.

I was just exaggerating.

"Yow! Them boy a come with the dirty Moca boy dem," someone on the lane I was walking in, shouted.

Police didn't have anything else to do than torment the trying youths and the taxi men.

I took out my phone from my skirt pocket and called my oldest brother André.

"Dré police and moca a come Ina Di community," I told him as soon as he answered the phone.

"Eee? A weh you deh fi know dat?" He asked.

He expected me to still be at school.

"In the lane coming from school."

"Alright mi sista, walk safe yer, if yuh come home and nuh see we, yuh know we deh pan the hide out yuh zimmi?" He spoke.

"Yeah unuh stay safe," I said then hung up and shoved my phone in my pocket.

I continued to walk on my way home and the street was empty. I guess most of the men were hiding from police and moca.

When I reached one of the secluded areas where no house was I saw a guy on his phone, he was brown skinned and wearing polo shirt, cut of jeans, long socks and polo slides. A black Crown Royal Saloon was parked and he leaned on it.

Him look like scamma. Wonder if him know say 5 o' and Moca a come in yer.

Should I tell him?

My brothers always say I mustn't talk to strangers.

Stranger danger!

But suppose a did one a my brother them deh here so? Me would a want somebody tell them so they can do the right thing.

Aye gyal.

When I reached near to him I cleared my throat.

Gwaan home!

"Hey, police and Moca a come in a the community," I said to him.

Jesus peace.

He held up his head and move the plaited hairs from out of his face. "Wah you say?"

Him deaf or sumn!?

"Police and Moca a come in here." I said and turned to walk away.

"Blutclawt," I heard him say.

"Come here deh slimaz!" He called after me, but I didn't look back. "Blue uniform!" He called again then I looked back.

Wah him a call me for?

Him naah go run and hide?

"Yes?" I asked, glancing back at him.

He walked up to me, "wul dem yah fimi," he said giving me four phones to hold.

Move yuh dutty blct.

Me him want them ketch with it?

Oh.

"Fi wah?" I raised a brow, staring at him.

"Nuh yuh tell mi say Moca a come, yuh waan dem ketch mi wid dem?"

Oh so them must catch me with them?

Very smart.

Me say fi gwaan home!

But suppose it was one of my brothers?

I would've wanted someone to help them.

"Put dem Ina mi bag," I told him and he did so.

Lord of mercy.

"You have your phone on you?"

Why him want to know that?

Let me ask.

"Yeah, what happen?"

"Credit deh pan it?" He asked me and I nodded.

"Yeah."

"Aiite gimi," he stretched his hand out.

Maybe he wanted to make a call.

I took out my phone and give him, I was confused but I had four of his phone so what was he going to do to mine.

"Password?" He asked.

A fi him?

A must him did buy it?

Make me see Wah him a go do.

"Three six and three nine," I told him.

"Alright mi waah yuh go straight home now, wen ih wicked man dem cut, mi use your phone call one a mine so put dem where yuh can hear dem a ring."

Umm...

Nope.

"No," I made up my face and reached for my phone.

"Naah theif your phone Maamz, see yuh have four a mine them deh," he looked in my hands.

Oh.

I nodded.

"Yaa hear mi?" He asked.

Me nuh deaf enuh sir.

"Yes."

"Wait wah yuh name?"

Wonder if me must give him a fake name right now.

Nope, him have we phone.

Okay.

"Brittney," I answered

"Alrt gwaan home safe Brittney and memba wah mi tell yuh."

Suppose me have short term memory.

I nodded and walked off in the direction of my home.

Yuh si wah mi put mi self Ina just cause mi nuff.

When I reach home I opened the gate and went to the my floor of the house and open my front door and went inside.

Our house was built like three separate houses in one.

I went to my bathroom, then stripped and took a shower. I put on a tight jeans shorts because I prefer to wear tight bottoms then I put on a white tube top and a blue sweater.

I was going to check the time then I remember that I don't have my phone but I have his. Mi don't even know him name.

Nuff me nuff.

I took out the four phones, they were iphones by the way. I looked at the time it was just after 2. I was bored so I turned on good girls on Netflix. The amount a time mi watch ih.

Rio is bae.

I went to my kitchen and took up a Charles chocolate and three digestives. One thing mi ago eat bare chocolate when mi a si my period, all when mi belly bottom a drop out.

All when me a dead.

I went back to my room and laid back on my bed. Mi deeven know when mi drop a sleep.
