🇬🇧London based. Can you leave the hood?
Starting in 2012, Red Light tells the story of Kyrah, a girl from Rushton, a fictional borough in South London. After being taken advantage of by guys, she struggles with anxiety and PTSD, which leads her in...
Saturday 3rd November Tasharn's gathering Picture: Miles
It's like candy! I can feel it when you walk Even when you talk it takes over me You're so dandy I wanna know Can you feel it too just like I do
"GWARN AUNTIE LEE!" I shout.
We're all at their house for Tasharn's welcome back party. They brought him home last night. Currently, all the adults are dancing to old music. Uncle Max is holding Auntie Lee from behind as they do the Candy together. I would join but it's actually fun watching them.
This stuff is starting now It's the same feeling I always seem to get around you
I chuckle as Brandon's Dad starts 'breaking it down'. He fully drops into the splits.
"Your dad is enjoying himself boy!" I poke Brandon, he looks over briefly then chuckles before watching the football match with the others again. He randomly looks back again, this time scanning me from head to toe. We haven't really spoken since I arrived with Shantae and Danielle.
"You okay there?" I ask.
He nods slowly "You look buff."
I smile "Thanks."
I'm wearing a brown felt jumpsuit with black air Max 95s, pretty casual to be honest. My hair is fleeky though. Last night Shantae, Zanisha and Justine helped me take out my tracks and cornrows. Then after that, Danielle helped me wash, blow dry and straighten it. So now I've slicked it up using a donut bun and put on my favourite accessory, hoop earrings.

"GYAL YUH PUNANI MATCH MI CAAAAR!" And here comes Uncle Ricky again, singing completely out of tune to the music. That song isn't even playing!
Brandon starts bussing up "Uncle gives me jokes man."
I chuckle and shake my head. "I bet Rakai will be like that when he's older, this guy loves making noise!"
Brandon scoffs "RAKAI! Kyrah's mocking it! She said you're gonna be like Uncle Ricky when you're older."
He kisses his teeth then charges towards me in the sofa.
I run towards his mum "AUNTIE LEE! AUNTIE LEE!"
I grab onto her and stick my tongue out at him.
He still tries to lunge for me, but I hide behind Auntie. After failed attempts to hit me, he eventually goes back to the chair.
I decide to chill in the kitchen with the olders instead.
Tasharn, Aaron, S, Nia and Javon are currently in here. As soon as S sees me, he kisses his teeth and zips my jumpsuit all the way to the top.
