Seconds after Diamond leaves with the teacher who intervened Zai calls my name.

I freeze.

Her tone is a dead giveaway that she's upset because she thinks I'm involved with her brother.

What did I expect though?

I made it obvious because I couldn't control my temper.

Damn you Taj..

Damn me for real.

I turn and meet her intense gaze.

"Why you react da way deh?" her voice comes out harsh.

"Wah you mean?" I ask, feigning ignorance.

She cocks an eyebrow folding her arms underneath her breast.

"The way you act a while ago," she says in hopes to give me clarity.

She a use har head Zai..

"Oh because the girl just come in and a go in a him bag," I answer.

That not even convince me, the girl in my head yawns.

She shakes her head.

"As much as she upset me your attitude did weird and it's almost like a never the bag a yuh problem," she states.

"So wah you a say?" I ask leaning my head to the side innocently.

Me? Fraid a you..

Kasi doesn't like this at all.

"Unuh cyaa let this go?" she ask with her eyebrows lowered.

Zai's eyes moves back to me.

"Why mi feel like you deh with Zahir?" she ask, ignoring Kasi.

I know after this I'm going to be a loner.

And that's fine with me, me never come here fi friends anyways.

Oh and you think mi believe that? Carry on.

"Why you nah answer?"she ask, raising her eyebrows.

I get that past events can make you paranoid.

I've been through it, especially when it's a devastating experience but I'm not Diamond and she fails to understand that.

She shakes her head in disbelief at my silence.

The thought of lying comes to my mind but I honestly don't see the point when she'll eventually find out.

"We a talk," I breathe.

She smiles. "Oh really?" her tone sarcastic and dry.

Ah bwoy.
