Shameika POV

Just got off the phone with Jada. She is now on her way to work.

Jada is a supervisor at a well known call center in Kingston.

Jada started working as soon as she graduated high school.

Sometime mi really siddung and wonder if my decision to further my education really mek sense because mi see nuff people out deh without and school leaving certificate and dem a live good.

Although education annuh di only legal way out of poverty.

Jada is three years older than I am and about a few months ago she moved from portmore and started living in Kingston since was now promoted.

Me proud a friend bad bad baadd.

She works really hard for what she have just like me she nuh come from nuh rich family.

I also love how independent and strong minded she is but that is another discussion for another day.

Today is a free day. I have no job, no class and no assignment.

I wanted Jada to accompany me to the gym since she has a car and I don't want to be taking taxis in my gym clothes but she is working today.

Danneek offer for me to come by her house and we would travel together but the Caribbean in me wouldn't allow it.

Just feel like we nuh really know each other long enough for me to be leaving portmore to go over to her house, maybe if she lived closer and I was familiar with the area.

Anuh like Jada weh mi know for a long time and we basically grew up together.

Monday

"Good day everyone. I would like to believe that everyone have watched the videos over the weekend on unit 4 as I requested in the previous class"

"We are now on probability our favorite topic. Right class?" the lecturer asked.

The class erupted into laughter.

My favourite part about this class is when di class done so mi nuh know weh she a talk bout favourite topic.

"We are currently at week 4"

"Just a brief recap"

"Probability is the mathematical measure of the likelihood of an event occurring"

"Probability= number of favorable option / number of total possible option"

(Phone rings out loud)

Shit! "I curse, I forgot to put the phone on silent"

The lecture automatically stops teaching.

Most of the students are now looking in my direction.

"The individual phone that just made that sound is either you leave the class or I will" the lecturer spoke.

(the lecture was now making eye contact with me)

It was about half an hour until class was finished.

I quickly packed my stuff and made my way through the door.

My anxiety just skyrocketed.

Neva so shame innah me life.

Mi caah wait fi just done wid dah course here.
