I sat in the restaurant admiring the one bagga white people filling the tables and bustling around me. The interior of the restaurant itself was worth for it for my new story on IG.
I must've been staring for too long because then my friend, Marlie, started snapping her fingers in my face. "Hello? Earth to tina? Likkle girl stop stare pan the people Dem suh hard". Snapping out of my trance, I turned my focus onto my best friend infront of me

—Marlie—
"Cyaah blame me deh bwoy deh wid e curly hair did cute still". She rolled her eyes at me shaking her head.
"Excuse me ladies are you now ready to place an order?". A waiter who looked no older than 16 came up to us pen and paper in hand.
' taap pree e man yuh hungry fi hood?'. My subconscious began to taunt me like a mother scolding her kid.
'kmt'
"Yes, we'd like two large fries, two cheese burgers, extra cheese in one please, and the cheese dip as well as a bottle of Hennessy". Marlie said, as I continued to strip the waiter with my eyes. He uttered a few words and left going to the kitchen.
"Yuh love man?". Confused but at the same time bewildered by the sudden foolish question, I responded. "Yes me love man, unless yuh waah me be lesbian". Marlie recoiled from me, giving me another one of her infamous side eye views. I hissed my teeth as I waited for the food to arrive.
5 Minute Timeskip
" Here you go ladies". The same waiter from earlier came back, now holding our food in hand.
'deh man yah nuh hurry up and gi mhi mhi food man, jah jah '

"Bomboclaut". The aroma from the food drove me crazy as I inspected it. I took a picture to post on my Instagram for later, prayed, then started eating.
"Suh.. tina". I looked up locking eyes with Marlie. "Hm?". "Waah gwaan fi you and such man?". I knew she felt nervous about asking me this because she kept playing with the table cloth as though finding a distraction.
"Nothing cause we barely talk". My voice was strained as I lied to her. Truth is me and my ex aren't on good terms but I still sometimes see him whenever I can.
" Okay anything yuh say hurry up and finish cause di time late yah now and we have school a mawnin".
Ugh school
I was already finished anyway so I left both a fat tip for the waiter along with the bill on the table, took my things and headed straight to the door.
