"Yeah a wahm?" she puts down a Burger King bag in my lap as she plops down beside me.
With a shrug I say, "Nothing."
Feeling conscious of the male voices I'm hearing on the porch I drop my legs from the hassock they were resting on, before I focus on the bag on my lap.
Inside is a chicken burger, fries, ketchup and a folded receipt.
The receipt never affi mention.
My eyes finds back Aisha and as I began to thank her she interrupts me.
"Wahm to yuh?" she repeats as she stares at me intently. Her eyebrows are pulled together with her lips drawn back.
"Mi just nuh like the school," I say quietly then my eyes finds Ocean when he chimes in.
"Did they bully you?" his eyebrows are furrowed and I shake my head no.
Bully who?

Anyways.

Get round with who?

It's obvious she was on the toilet.

"Likkle while now," Aisha retorts then my mother bends over before she burst out in laughter.
Mommy a drama enuh.
She raises up her upper body again as she says, "The way how me deh pan the toilet and a enjoy the likkle newspaper mi not even hear the door pull."
