It's finally here. Well it's not exactly here but you know what I mean. Tomorrow is prom. I don't have a date because I turned down everyone who asked me and all the good ones are taken. I'm just gonna go with my friends. And after prom will be graduation, I'm so excited. "Come on nuh Abby. Uh tek one hundred and one year fi ready." Mom yells.

Me, Amanda just finish bathe and she a cuss me? "Manda how long uh go tek in a di bathroom! A wah deh pan uh kin suh gyal!" She yells again. "See if uno nuh ready in a di next 20 minutes, uno a walk eno. Memba mi tell uh dat. Every morning mi affi a bawl out mi choat affta uno. And uno big gyal now!" She yells, the oman lie, the one mawnin we wake up late she a gwan like a everyday habit.

I hurry up and put on a jeans pants and a oversize tie die t-shirt and a pull over, then put on a nike shoe and cuff my pants foot to show my ancklet. I put on some watermelon chap stick and head down stairs.

"Finally, one down and one to go." She mumbled. Mi think mommy a go through menopause eno, di oman get miserable. She a just 49 but stills, it can start early. 10 minutes later Amanda walk down the stairs.

"Don't even sit down, just go in a di car." She says. "But mommy mi hungry." Amanda said. "Uh should n wake up early if uh want smt fi nyam. Now go in a dj cyar n nuh mek mi get pan mi wrong side in a dis place yah." She says and the two of us hurriedly run to the car.

I mean it's only 8:58am she nuh affi a gwaan suh extra. Mom starts the car but before She drives off she gave us food in a plate to eat. We're an hour late for school and I missed maths. The lady nuh like mi already and mi miss her class, she go think mi skull it.

"Come out a mi car." Mom says as she park and the lady literally run go in a the school. We laugh and take our time to class because we already, nuh mek sense we pap we neck. I made it to chemistry class 10 minutes late. "Miss Blackwood, how delightful for you to join us. Please take your seat quickly." Mr. Small said sarcastily and I smiled and take my seat. Good thing I take online classes because I don't know how I woukd have passed this subject.

It was now lunch time and I stopped by the bathroom, only to see little miss Allisa sucking out a boys tounge. "Lawd." I said and they pulled away with wide eyes. My face was skinned up by the sight I saw in front of me and my stomach sick.

"Abby. What are you doing here?" She asked, mi affi really look round if a mi dat a the wrong place, a really dat she ask mi. "Uhh, your in front of the bathroom." I told her. "Oh yea. I didn't even notice." She said looking red like a tomato. "How could you notice." I said. "I'm just gonna go. I really need to use the bathroom." I told her holding back my laugh.

Who knew Allisa have man. I did my business then head for the cafeteria. All of a sudden I felt someone grabbed my arm and I scream, only to see Mr. Italian. "Bredda yaaw idiot." I told him holding up my heart. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." He said letting me go. "I wanted to ask you something." He said, he looked a little nervous not gonna lie.

"Go ahead." I told him. "I was wondering..." He paused as he scratched his head back. "I was wondering if you'd be my date for prom." He said. It was more of a question than a statement but it still meant the same. Why would a guy like him wanna go to prom with a girl like me?

"You serious. A hot guy like you doesn't have a date yet." I said but I didn't realize what I said until a huge smirk found its way on his face. "So you think I'm hot?" He asked and my eyes got wide. "Ppshhn. No. That's what the girls say." I said rolling my eyes. He chuckled a little and I didn't realize how handsome he really is until he smiles.

His shoulder length hair was done in four plats and a black and white nike cap sits side ways on his head, his skin tone looks darker than before, he had on white t-shirt, a black sweat pants with a white Nike shoe. He was about 6 feets tall while I stood at 5,3 in height, he must think I'm a dot from where he stands.

"What ever you say." He said. "Whatever. I'll go with you." I told him and a big smile spread across his face showing his dimples. "Good I'll pick you up at 6." He told me and I nod. "Wait. What color are you going for?" I asked him.

"The doesn't really matter because any colour would look beautiful on you." He said, thus nigga is so cheezy. "But my preference would be green." He said and I smile. "See you then Italian." I told him and he shakes his head and left. "Oh shit. I don't have any dress." I said to my self and hurriedly walk to the cafeteria. "Guess who's got a date." I told them as I reach the table.
