"Likkle gyal wake up" my mother shouted slapping my feet

Sigh mi really noh inna the mood fi the foolishness ino aswr

I raise my head from off the bed first then I got up and yarn covering my mouth

After looking around for a while, I came in contact with my mothers angry eyes
She was looking at me as if she was asking a question without even asking

"Good morning" I said to try and gauge her anger

If she answers that means she is not all that mad but if she doesn't then bwaii mnk

She's still looking at me without answering

Oh she mad mad

We were both playing staring contest for another minute or two before she broke the silence
"Weh you did deh yesterday?" she asked

"I went out with my friend Matthew" I said calm enough to try and sound convincing

"A weh uno go soh mek yaw come in them time deh?" she paused "You couldn't even call you think yaw big oman and can come and go as you plz?"

A which one mi fi answer first? I asked myself

"Think Brandon did call you caz I told him to before my phone died" I answered

A pray she noh call Brandon right now

It come like the universe just nah work inna my favor or mi salt cause the next think she say mi heart start race
"Mek mi call Brandon" she said then took out her phone dialing him

He answered on the fourth ring and she just started bombarding him with questions

"Brandon Elena did tell you fi tell mi seh she go rch home late lastnight?" she asked and I hold my head down looking at my fingers

A swr if God mek Brandon tell the lie mi noh dweet agn

Sure?

Yes kmt

"Yes she did call mi and mek mk a she nd r friend gone out" I rose up my head and saw my mother looking at me and I gave her a knowing smile

"Alright mi dear later" then she hung up

She started walking out of my room but not before making it known that I can't leave the house
