“Bombopussyrassclaat mon” I shouted as my laptop died while I was finishing my course work.
“Girl a wah?” my best friend, Mikayla asked.
“Deh yah a do the course work and nuh realize seh the laptop a dead, devn remember if me save any a that.” I kissed my teeth.
“Out a Hellshire yuh born?” Kayla asked and laughed.
I didn’t even bother replying because me convince a deh me born too.
I got up from my bed and plugged my laptop on the charger. I would do over the course work tomorrow, like how a Sunday me nah go really have nth fi do.
Rass, me devn introduce mi self, nuh likkle manners me nuh have.
My name is Promise Amoura Ferguson. There’s nothing to me really, I live with my mom in Annette Crescent. I’m currently going to UCC after graduating from St. Hugh’s High School. I also have a boyfriend, who I’m not on good terms with at the moment.
And right now, it was Saturday and Kayla, was over stealing my Wi-Fi because hers wasn’t working.
Me tell har switch from Flow long time but she and Auntie ears hard.
Mi tek up me phone off a mi night table and before me could a scroll through Instagram peacefully, me see the one Shotta a call mi.
“Yes body good?” I answered and I heard Kayla let out a laugh.
What a gyal can laugh.
“Big woman, me nuh tell yuh stop call me that? Anyways wah fawud a one party tonight?”
Come like him did know me wah come out a da crawsis house yah.
“Sure where?”
“Over tracks and records.”
Mi let out a big laugh which earned me a look from Kayla, “me neva know party keep deh suh.”
“Stop yuh noise, cause yuh devn go nowhere. Yah come or wah?”
“Yeah man, we can portal di road yes.” I said
“Me nuh tell yuh stop use me style them?” I heard him laugh, “Sound like a damn eediat.”
I hung up the phone.
Know seh me cyah stand that likkle eddiat boy deh.
“Who that?” Kayla asked.
“Keedo.” That was Shotta’s real name and what Kayla knew him as.
“Weh him a say?”
“If we wah go party.”
As she hear the word ‘party’ har skin ketch a fire.
“Long time me wah go wine up me self eno!” she exclaimed shaking her ass. I laughed and hyped her up.
Mikayla later went home to get ready and left me to do the same. I was now searching mi closet fi something fi wear.
I got a text from Keedo saying he would pick us up at nine but I knew that really meant ten.
That boy doh know time.
I had known Keedo for some months now. He had found me one night when me and me mada cuss. I was walking outside at 1 inna the morning and him stop fi ask me if me alright.
Ever since then, we’ve been friends. He was nice and surprisingly him neva did a put nuh talk to me or a try look me. He was chill and treated me like a sister.
I didn’t know much about him though, but he knew a good amount of things bout me. Only thing me know is seh him rich, but whenever me ask him weh him do, him seh me nuffi worry my head bout that.
Maybe him a one scamma.
Even though I didn’t know much about him, I trusted him. He proved that that I could. And quickly him become a big part a mi laugh, even my mom loved him. I think she prefers him over me.
After a while of looking in my closet, I settled on a shorts that was ripped at the batty part and a blue spaghetti strap crop top.
Shotta good a send me go change. But him cyah stop my show. Me a look a man tonight.
I let out a laugh, could never me have man.
The only man Micheal is, is a wasteman.
I laughed at my subconscious. Micheal and I have been together for a year, our anniversary was recently and he had forgot. Him been a move weird too, but me know enough fi know when me a get bun.
I looked at my notifications to see if he had replied to the message I sent him this morning, he didn’t.
Ahh, watch da style yah.
I sent him a message:
Ago do me thing yer. Big up yuh self me gee.
After that I took a shower and started to get ready.

He laughed and agreed. After hanging up, I got up to get ready, it never far from ten anyways.
