I was on the phone with my boyfriend telling him about my day today.

"When yaa come back?" he asked.

"We're spending the week, and school reopens Monday," I told him.

"Oh!"

"Nuh understand how you prefer spend time with yuh best friend more than mi enu," he said.

If him know how pinky nuh like him ee shut up.

"Stop say that," I rolled my eyes.

Him always jealous when mi deh round pinky, like stop being a weirdo, mi Naah say nth when yuh round yuh man dem tf.

"Anuh lie," he said as I got up from my bed.

Him need fi understand say Pinky is my happy place, when mi deh round her, mi forget about everything because mk say by the time mi go back home wickedness start again.

"Mi ago fi waah juice," I said pretending not to hear him.

"Yaa bring e phone?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said taking it up.

I pulled my room door and outside was dark as hell, aye mi fraid a duppy enu.

I walked to the kitchen with my phone in hand, when I reached the refrigerator I took out a Tropics before opening it and drinking some.

"Trey," I called because the line went silent.

"Yeah," he answered.

"Nth true mi Naah hear yuh," I said.

"Deh yah Mon b," he said.

"Okay," I said drinking more of the drinks.

"Babes?" He called.

"Yeah," I answered.

"Mi mada a call mi soon link yuh back," he said.

"Yuh naa fi call mi back," I said hanging up.

Di likkle bwoy lie.

I put the rest of the juice bottom part of the fridge and closed the fridge door.

I was walking out of the kitchen and a figure appeared in the dark.

"Mi bombo," I said in shock, clutching my chest.

Andre stood in the doorway, almost gimi damn heart attack.

"Yaa idiot?" He asked.

"Yuh know Wah mi find funny," he chuckled.

"A how mi deeven see yuh hail e dawg Wah yuh say a yuh cousin." He said.

"Anuh him dat," I said looking down at my feet.

"So yaa tell mi say a two smaddy drive e same blue Benz with the same license plate," he raised an eyebrow.

I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out.

"Wul up yuh head when big man a chat to yuh, feel mi and yuh a size?" He spoke.

Nonetheless, I held up my head but looked everywhere except at him.

Aye, mi waah go back inah my room, but mi Naah walk past him, next thing ee kill mi from back way.

"God nuh like liad," he said.

A the first mi Eva hear him talk so much, di man always mind him own business and stay to himself, antisocial a waah part.

"And teef," I mumbled.

"Wah?"

"Nth, excuse," I brushed past him and speed walked to my room.

I closed the door when I got to the room and leaned on it. My heart feel like it a go drop outta my chest.
