Claimed By Him

28| Stresses of Stresses

Before I knew it, Summer was over in a blink, but it was well spent, and  lots of things happened in the last days. I attended Mario's funeral, where Shanae made attempts to apologize to me. Mario's remains were cremated, and the small ceremony was short and solemn. I couldn't handle it and left early, but not before giving my well wishes to the family.

My mom went around on dates with the people dem husband who still came over many times, even for dinner. I saw less and less of DeShawn, but we spoke a lot on the phone. It's now my last year of sixth form, and it's already not going well.

I made sure to dye over my hair so I won't have any issues with the Dean. My uniform skirt is short, but it's barely about my knee, and it's not tight nor too big.

Sorry, I can't  wear the  big ole skirt dem, too much wind a go underneath and it mek mih feel naked.

Over on administration block, I made sure not to make eye contact with Mr Fearon.

Lawd, the man is so annoying. Him a wah again?? Assistant Dean?? Fih real mon, mih nuh memba him a what.

God was on my side, and he just walked by, I saw another teacher eying me, and I rolled my eyes, resisting the urge to hiss my teeth.

So she think mih ago walk inna the boiling sun??  A really mih skl fee them use put on them gate yah and mih can't walk ova ya suh??

I hissed my teeth at the sign and continued walking. They do stupid things and wonder why the students are rude to them or act a certain way, although some students are plain disrespectful at times.

Can't wait fih leff this fuck!!

Everything seems to be pissing me off today. I'm still unsatisfied with the money on the path card but I'm still grateful for it, don't get me wrong. I just can't help but cuss sometimes.

A cyaaa bothhaaaa!!

I was seated eating my lunch from the canteen when a teacher came to make problems. People would say youngsters don't like correction, but some adults are plain miserable. It would be better if a softer tone would be used when doing so, when you raise your voice and not listen to what the other party has to say to be able to move on from that, expect the other party to raise their voice as well to get through to you.

Them seh we a 6th formers and we will dealt with like an adult and yet stiilll we are being treated like lower skl students in some aspects. I understand that we are still students but c'mon, mon!!

For the rest of the day I was underpressure with more presentations piling on top of the ones I am already working on, stressful group members, changes in IAs, more field trips with shocking prices.

So we really have to pay to use the skl bus?? A the first mih a hear dis! It's aight but yaa ask fih an outrageous amount fih just one day!

I went home with a pounding headache and a hungry stomach. As soon as I stepped inside I heard moaning coming from upstairs. It's 4:06 pm, I got held up at Spaulding due to the weather, it took a while for the taxi to be ready and the Police doing there thing, so I was sorta late. I went inside the kitchen before going up to my room.

Nutn to eat and this oman up deh suh a fuck down the place!?

I took a deep breath to calm myself and keep back the tears. I made myself a sandwich, still in my uniform and took a drink from the refrigerator to wash it down with later. I changed and showered then wolf down the sandwich while being surrounded by homework.

Maybe mih too emotional. Mih a big girl now, I need to get grip of myself, realize that mih affi go do certain things for myself and certain things nuffi a trouble mih...

I got to work, and I was laying on my back when my phone rang, and it was DeShawn.

"Hello??" I answered tiredly.

"Wahm, B?? How you sound so?? You eat??"

I rolled over unto my belly with a huff.

"Nothing, I'm fine. Yeah, I ate somo already. Have you eaten?" I heard shuffling in the background.

"Yeah, mih eat, just done eat to be exact. What did you eat??"

"A sandwich." I yawned.

"Huh?? You mother nuh cook??"

"She didn't and deven text mih so mih coulda buy somo. I guess she busy." I replied. They haven't calmed down in her room either. I heard him hiss his teeth.

"You want me come for you?? I haven't seen you in a while. I miss you." He replied after a while. All of a sudden, I felt overwhelmed with stress.

"I can't. I'm sorry." I hung up before he could say anything. I laid there feeling like a failure.

It look like mih bite off more than mih can chew. Skl already a kick my ass and I don't think I can handle no cocky rn. Sigh...too likkle bit and nuff. Shoulda lowe man and lowe sixth form.

I didn't know when I fell asleep.
