Masa god. Betta mih go sell front.
Mino know why mih go tek up mihself a read wattpad ina e late hours adi night when mih kw seh mih have school a morning.
Wish mi coulda go bk in time n kunk miself.
Sighing heavily I adjusted my bag as I ventured further up the lane towards the main road.
"Afta mi nah get no taxi fi now." I said extremely annoyed over the situation I put myself in."E too late fi turn back?" I questioned out loud looking up to the sky. Silently wishing for a answer to my question.
"Way too late fi yuh turn back." A masculine voice answered from somewhere.
"A suh God voice did deep?" I thought, wondering if my mind was playing tricks on me. Spinning around I looked for the source of the voice.
Which didn't take too long seeing as the source of my answer was in a car parked next to me. Squinting my eyes, as I had forgot my glasses, to make out if I was familiar with the driver or not.
I didnt recognize who it was but he was wearing the uniform for my school.
"So how him still ina school and a drive?" I questioned myself.
A chuckle came from the handsome stranger as he rubbed his hands over the lower part of his face. And I came to the realization I had questioned myself out loud.
"D.C yuh guh?" he questioned. Nodding my head in response ."Fwd nuh, like how we a go same place." he offered.
Would I normally accept a drive from a stranger, especially one that seemed underage? No. But it was better than going back home to my mother after she cuss mih outa har house this morning.
So I decided to accept.
Walking towards the passenger side I opened the door sitting down and placing my bag in my lap. "Good morning" I said putting on my seatbelt.
As much as we done hold convo already, mi ago still greet somebody when mih enter them vehicle.
"Good morning ma'am" he said as he took the car out of park and pulled onto the main road.
In here smell good mon. Can smell a hint a weed. Not too overpowering, just enough to smell good.
"So how mih neva yet see u upa school?" I asked fiddling with my hands as I peeked over at him.
More like side-eyed him.
"Transfer mih transfer." He said eyes focused on the road. My eyes fell to his hands. The sleeves to his shirt were rolled up and I couldn't help but notice how his hands held the steering wheel firmly yet with ease.
"Ohh. From which school?" I asked again.
Ano dat. Ask wah him blood type next.
"North Carolina, States" he said turning his head slightly to glance at me.
He has very pretty eyes.
Time: 8:24
The next ten minutes were spent in light conversation. After exchanging names I learnt his name was Romario. He was actually a very easy going and fun person to talk to.
Eventually we arrived at school. I thanked him for the drive and hurried off to my class hoping that the teacher hadn't arrived yet.
As I entered my classroom I breathed a sigh of relief to see that there was no teacher and everyone was still doing their own thing.
I walked over to the right corner of the classroom where my bestfriend Ariella was seated.
"Girl you couldn wait pon mih this morningg" I pushed her shoulder playfully as i went to sit behind her. But I paused removing the seat that was behind my desk exchanging it with another before sitting down.
"Mi swear seh u neva did ago come tdy. You neva see mih text yuh?" she said spinning around in her chair so she was facing me."Tameika neva cuss? When you wake up late?"
Sighing I sank down into my seat as I relayed the mornings events to her. From my mother throwing a bucket of cold water on me to wake me up to Romario and his kind offer.
"Ooooo. A love interest, finally?" her eyebrows wiggling as she pursued her lips.
A who she?
"Elo ma'am, calm with the delusions. Mih nav no time fih man. Worse if my mada find out." I hissed folding my arms n scanning the class.
"Well you have a point. but we a graduate highschool this year. We need fi live likle before we afi get fully serious Tati" she said pouting her lipgloss coated lips.
Ariella has been my bestfriend since grade 5. And is one of the only people im genuinely comfortable with.
"So real." I said in agreement. "Next time nun a keep me and you a go." I said grinning at her knowing she wouldn't refuse.
"Bet." she said pushing her pinky finger out towards me with a wide smile on her face.
Crossing pinkies with her we then engaged in light conversation until we were interrupted by our form teacher entering the class.
"Good Morning Students." she greeted as she took a seat at her desk. Scattered greetings could be heard across the room as we all settled down to listen for our names.
Once she had called both our names me and Ari went back to our conversation. My full attention was on the subject of whether we should go to burger king or popeyes's after school.
But something my teacher said caught my attention.
"Id like to introduce a new face to our classroom. This is Romario Lopez, he will be joining your grade 13 class this year."
My head rose to look towards the front.
I made eye contact with the same deep brown eyes as earlier.
