Dejah has never been an outspoken person. Some see her as an introvert, and some see her as a nerd. Her timid nature makes her look weak, and her viridity makes her soft. Or is this all a facade to hide who she truly is?

"Likkle gyal yuh nah wake up fi come go school?" Was the first thing that my mother shouted from outside my bedroom door.
Without awaiting a response, she barged in all hot and heated.
As morning light she just vulga and annoying. Not even a likkle Good Morning mi one daughter, jah.

Mi just wake, weh she expect?

How many times should I explain this to her?
"Mumz, a exam time now, if exam start 1pm yuh reach by 12:30, wah mi a go school suh early go do?" I asked, annoyed.

Could have sworn I heard a crick.

"Yuh betta cause mi nah come in yah again, after mi nuh alarm." She said, making her exit.

"At least she cares." My subconscious stated.
"Yeah, at least she cares."
My mother is one to always want to be early for everything. It's nothing bad, but going to an event or place early just to sit and wait makes no sense to me, especially for school. I'm just gonna sit and look inna people mouth until the exam starts. And then mi nah nuh fren a school so mi ago just look like lonely dog.
Why couldn't my life be easier?
Sighing at that thought, I jumped back into bed to text my bestie, Kia.
