"Gyal mek haste put on yuh uniform" I hurriedly push my belt through the loops on my skirt before securing it around my waist.
Uniform siddung pon gyal eno.
"Tek this and hurry up gwaan. Yuh know how dung a linstead tan a morning time" I quickly place my bag on my back before taking the cup soup from my mom's hand.
I hurriedly peck her cheek before hurrying out the house. While walking to the bus stop I sip the water from the cup soup since I don't fancy the noodles.
Ramen a my thing.
A message came in on my phone and I unlock the screen before going to WhatsApp seeing a message from Ashanti saying she'll be waiting for me in linstead.
I sent a simple okay just as a taxi pulled up next to me.
"Fawud mumma, one and ready" typical jamaican taxi driver.
I toss the cup soup container in a rubbish heap and entered the taxi.
Hey a one thing wid the taxi man dem weh bring school pickney eno...dem ago drive fi kill we off.
Mi mumma rass.
Mi a press brakes and mi nah drive. I clutch onto the back of the driver's seat since I'm sitting directly behind him.
Seeing that we've entered linstead I quickly take my fare from my purse and tap the taxi driver's shoulder and he immediately collected the hundred dollars before handing me back thirty dollars.
Thank God mi reach inna one peice to kaka fawt.
As soon as the driver pulls into the lane to let off a girl in a st. Jago uniform I immediately hopped out and so did everybody else.
Taxi driver no go a the park if police nah wuk eno lawd have mercy.
I continued on the same stretch and in less than two minutes I'm in the linstead bus park and of course mi find ashanti she, cyan hide fi save har life.
Beside her is Dainnia. Mi two good up browning dem. They live in linstead while I live in ewarton. They wait for me every morning and we all attend school together.
"Yuh no tek too long dis morning" ashanti says as she looks at me with a warm smile.
"Gyal to how dat deh taxi driver deh a gwaan yuh lucky mi reach yah at all" we all chuckle as a coasta bus comes in the park.
We all start running towards the bus as did all the other children and work goers but yuh know the stush ones ago stand up dainty like dem expect somebody fi lift them up put them pon bus.
We got to the bus and sat at the back. I release a heavy sigh before pulling my earphone from the back of my bag just as my phone made a sound meaning I have a new message.
I unlocked it and opened WhatsApp seeing dainnia sent a text.
Watch this yah hot gyal yah shoes a beg bread🤣.
I quickly look down at the girl before me and indeed the hot gyal shoes a lift off to baxide.
I quickly began typing while nudging ashanti showing it to her.
Why yuh dweet drankro😒😭

After coming off the bus in Spanish town we got a taxi instantly and in no time we are entering the St. Catherine high school.
I could hear Mr. Campbell on the mic meaning devotion is taking place at seperate campuses today and also that we are late.
The security is at the gate with his metal detector in his hand as he eyes the kids with a bored expression on his face.
