"School a done half day Thursday fi real? Most school a lock from Wednesday and we affi deh a school Thursday??" Shaqo spoke, attention focused on his shoes as he used a toothbrus to brush it off.
"Yuh lucky we nah stay a school until Friday and just get Monday as the holiday" Jay answers.
"Which holiday this??" Gio joins in.
"Heroes weekend.. Monday a Heroes Day, so we nah fawud back a school until Tuesday" Jay answers him.

"Dem find any reason fi gi people holiday. How that mek sense now?" Gio questions, two other students in the class turning to look at him.
"Eh dawg a question why we a celebrate the people dem weh help get we out a slavery??" Shaqo laughs and I lowly kiss my teeth, getting up when my headache started getting worse.
Mi deevn fi deh a school today. I have no classes, but me a avoid therapy.
"Yah go Saint?"
Ignoring whoever asked, I couldn't differentiate any voices right now as I stepped outside the classroom.
Feel like me a go faint.
The slightly cool air hitting my skin, I relax a bit. Removing my phone from my pocket, I hesitated for a bit, but pushed my pride to the side and called my mother.
"Wahm to yuh now mr.miserable?" she's the first to speak, the repeated click of her keyboard in her background upsetting me further.
"Sign me out. Please.. head a kill me"
"Oh. Should I really? And you went to school to avoid seeing your therapist?" she answers.
"Mum, just.. please"
Know a that she did a go seh.
"Oh God, a please yuh just seh? Mi soon come yer mi baby. Give me like an hour" her voice softens. "Yuh waah go doctor? It a hurt yuh bad?"
"Fi a headache? I'll manage"
"A go buy yuh one pill.. soon come" she says before hanging up.
Going back inside, ignoring the throbbing feeling in my head, I sat down in seat, resting my head on the table.
"Yuh good cuz?" I hear Gio ask and I simply nod, not lifting my head.
