"Memba when mi neva know verb from noun, big dunce head pon di school compound..."—
The music is extremely loud, but I'm louder, singing as if I can overpower the beat.
Everyday I'm here singing bout 'big dunce head pon di school compound' and mi know seh mi nuh dunce.
These type of songs are just a vibe!
I'm alone at home, my mother's at work and I'm getting ready for ALila's birthday dinner. I'm running a bit behind, thanks to ALila keeping me busy with last-minute preparations.
"Another day, another dolla." I sing.
Just as I am searching for the perfect outfit, a notification then pops up on my phone. It's voice message from Lila.
"girl mi seh one piece a drama pon di phone wid Kaci. Remember seh she did fi come at my house to do my makeup right..." She trails off and I turn the volume up.
I rest my phone on the dresser before I begin to look for the box with my shoes, meanwhile I take in what she's saying.
"kaci come a talk bout she ave smaddy a Spain weh can do mi face 'cause she busy. Me seh Beauty mi start cuss yuh fret because how she fi busy and mi already tell har from how long."
"mi seh mi hate when people do dem fuckery yah eno and it upset mi 'cause mi did affi find somebody else fi do it last minute so I literally had to pay more money."
.."and now mi nuh know wah fi do because mi fi a get ready now fi a gah kingston and mi stuck in a bomboclaatt traffic."
The voicenote ends and I sigh.
Why did I know something like this was gonna happen?
Lila know seh mi nuh like Kaci eno and it's not the first time she's doing something like this but Lila is too nice to drop someone.
She's never the one to notice when a person is fake.
But it comes naturally for me.
see di box deh ma'am
Pulling the box with my shoes from underneath the dresser, I take out a brown bag with my bridgets.
Mi affi bring this wid mi.
Can't stand in heels all damn night.
I'm gonna want to move around a lot, so the heels are only for pictures to be honest.
I send a quick text to Lila and in minutes, a video call comes in from her.
"Watch the dolly!" I smile and hype her up when I see the turn out of her makeup.
