Rosalia’s Point Of View
- July 4th, 5:45 p.m

Norbrook, Kingston

Tears build up in my eyes as I stared at my father, moving around the living room. My brother sat on the couch grinning his teeth while texting one of his little floozies. I rolled eyes at him.

"Daddy, please don't do this to me. Why can't I stay at my school?" I complained.

"Rosalia gwaan guh sidung and nuh bother mi." My father hissed his teeth.

"Eh, guh sidung man. Love bawl fi foolishness. Yuh nuh glad yah guh still deh close to mi?" Jardani asked. I scrunched my face in disgust as he walked over to me.

Kingston mattress nuh chat to mi!

"Daddy," I whined.

"What, Rosalia? How much time me ago tell yuh seh the decision final? Stop call mi name, man," Daddy said.

The man love gwaan like him old, essi. All because a dutty Jardani me a transfer guh Wolmer's Girls. The dutty bwoy a look company eno.

"Yuh not even did ask mi if me did wah go or not. Not because Jardani a transfer that nuh mean me would'a wah transfer to. A company him a look and me nuh wah hitch up back a him." I huffed, folding my arms across my chest.

"Yuh never know yuh nuh wah hitch up back a him when yuh run go Campion wid him? Likkle girl, nuh make me affi talk again, yer?" He warned me. I hissed my teeth and walked off.

"A nuh kiss yuh just kiss yuh teeth?" He asked and my eyes widened.

"No, Daddy," I say, quickly.

"A lie she a tell. A kiss she just kiss har teeth, bright." Jardani smirked.

Dawg head informa bwoy!

"Fuck off, drankro," I said, lowly and went upstairs to my room. He laughed and I rolled my eyes.

"Yah move suh, twin?" Jay asked me.

"Leave me alone nuh," I rolled my eyes and picked up my phone. He sat down on my bed.

"A wah do yuh?" He asked me.

"I don't want to go to Wolmer’s Girls, Jay. I don't see the big deal why you chose to transfer when we have only one more year leave until we graduate," I said, hissing my teeth.

"Suh yuh still wah go the school weh man come and shoot up? Stop gwaan like yuh nuh have nuh sense, Alia," He said to me. I released a sigh.

"Come out a mi room nuh, Jay," I said, wiping my face.

"If yuh run me out, yuh cya chat to mi or beg mi nuth'n again eno. That mi a tell yuh," He threatened.

"That's all yuh good fah. Me want privacy," I told him. He got up from my bed.

"Hmm," he took up his phone.

"Close the door when you're leaving, please." I smiled brightly at him and he stared at me before walking to the door.

"Do it yuh self," He retort, kicking it wide open before walking out.

"Likkle shit mouth mawga bwoy!" I shout after him.

"Chat like yuh fat, termite!" He yelled back.

Dutty drankro.

It's not like he's wrong though. Going back to Campion College is risky because there was a shooting up there but I don't like all girls school and some females love the mixup which is a turn off for me.
