When I came back in last night, I ate about half of the chocolate cake before going to sleep. I guess none of my brothers saw me because they would have said something by now. A nuh like say mi nuh know say a foolishness dat fi go out with somebody wah mi nuh know but more while yuh affi risk it fi di biscuit.

You love talk about that?

I woke up six o clock this morning to get ready for school, i made breakfast for me and my brothers and I'm now in my closet putting on my uniform. After I finish putting on my uniform, I took up my phone and called my brothers to come and eat.

Too lazy fi walk go downstairs

Andre answered and said he was downstairs on his phone so I should let it stay and Dante say him a fawud.

I made eggs, plantains and fried Frank's for them and porridge for myself, if me any other food now like how mi a menstruate, I'm gonna vomit.

The only reason I'm going to school is because I'm the deputy head girl and I have duties this morning, I'm responsible for checking the uniforms at the gate.

"Bredda wah yuh wake mi outta mi sleep fah?" Dante asked as soon as he sat at the table.

"Shut up, mi a smell yuh breath from ova yasso yuh couldn't brush yuh teeth before yuh come round yah,"

"Mind mi dash ih tea Pan yuh?" He said lifting the tea cup.

"Yow, buil. Anyways, yaa drive mi gaa school?" I asked him.

"Why Andre cyaa drive yuh, why you cyaa drive yuh self?"

Him lazy.

"Andre is on his phone with oman, And mi tired Dante," I whined.

Me belly a hurt me.

"Mi ago fi mi key come gi yuh," he said walking out.

Likkle shit shoulda choke.

Hate him.

I finished eating and went to my room then I took up my bag and went to my closet for shoes to wear.

I wore the suede Bank Robber yesterday so mi naah go wear it today, the Air Force kinda deh squeeze mi, so mi have the Walla Bee, the kickers, and the Payless shoes.

"Pinky!" Dante called.

"Me in here so," I answered him.

He came in. "Me a wonder wah fi wear," I said to him.

"Long time yuh nuh wear ih kickers," he said.

"Waah wear it yes but mi go drive," I stated the obvious.

"So put on waah slippers dummy," he said taking up the kickers and my school bag "come make mi open ih gate fi yuh."

Hear who a call people dummy.

I walked out behind him, taking up my phone off the counter. He opened the front gate and gave me the key. When I went in the car he put my bag and the shoes on the seat. A fi him car so if ee wah put di shoes pan the seat a fi him business.

"Yaav money?" He asked as I was about to reverse.

Him have short term memory?

"Unuh nuh gimi 25k Sunday night?" I asked.

"Ahh, if yuh nuh come in come see nobody, we gone deal wid the Voxy 'cause we waah turn it Ina red plate put it pan the road." He explained.

My brothers were business minded.

And I was just like them.

"Alright later."

When I arrived at school, I parked in the parking lot, exited the car and locked it. I put my bag across one shoulder then took out my phone to call Kayla, my closest friend.

"Weh yuh deh?" I asked, leaning on the car to put on my shoes.

"Mi soon reach," she replied.

"Okay mi outta gate a check uniform ," I told her before walking to the gate.

I went to the gate and started checking uniform lengths, while the deputy head boy Daniel was checking for tight pants. It was now nine o clock and we're finished because anybody that come after nine cannot come through the gate.

"You have class now?" Daniel asked.

"No."

We walked to the sixth form block and I was looking around for Kayla but mi nuh see her yet.

"Later," Daniel said as I walked to my seat.

"Chop."

I placed my bag in the chair beside mine, then I sat in my seat. I didn't have class until a next hour so I decided that I was going to play free fire.

"Zachary," I called to a guy that sat at the far left. People nuh really like him cause him stay to him self, dem say him weird. A mi likkle g still, a bare game we play when wi ready.

"FF?" I asked.

"Mi nuh have on no service," he said.

"Fwd mi go share hotspot."

After mi and Zachary finish play game, dry head Kayla came eating a patty.

"Hmmm," she passed me an orange juice and a Charles chocolate and just plop down in the next seat.

As mi go fi pull ih orange juice so the dutty bell ring. Kmt.

"Unuh come on we have Comm Studies inah the computer lab," I informed my classmates.

Knowing that mi nuh supposed to drink nuh juice if a nuh lunch time, mi still go pull di orange juice and a drink it.

"Gyal, miss brown a come," Kayla said.

"Memba shi hardly can see." I laughed.

After school was dismissed Kayla and I walked to the parking lot.

"Who fah car yuh drive?" She asked.

"Danté."

"Him make yuh drive ee Lexus?" She said shocked.

"Yeah girl."

We got in car a drove through the school gate "me ago go inah the square go buy soup first before wi go home yer," I told her.

"Yea, cause mi waah gaa kfc."

When we reached in Falmouth I parked in kfc parking lot and walked in. Mi nuh liked go Ina the drive through. Kayla bought what she wanted, and I bought something for my brothers. Mi naah cook n dem lazy.

We walked to the car and placed the items on the back seat then start to walk to the soup man.
