"I didn't grow up having role models. I grew up having people I didn't want to be like and seeing situations I'd never want to be in. That was enough."

It has been a month and some days since my aunt died. I was already settled in school and preparing for her burial which would be Sunday.
The setup was tonight, and I would have left earlier to go to Clarendon, but it was the first week of school, and I was now in charge of two fifth form classes, so I had extra work to do. I wanted to finish the SBAs before the students went on their Christmas break.
I had to set an earlier deadline to ensure that the students completed their assignments before the actual deadline, so that we could perform changes and work on their week areas before their exams in May.
I've been quite devoted to this group of fifth formers, so I wanted them to do well in their examinations because they've all shown potential, from the quick ones to the not so quick ones.
I had finished dressing and was now waiting for my driver.
I wore a white crop top and a black midi skirt with a split that reached my mid-thigh, along with a pair of white slides.
The driver planned to pick up Nash and Xyla first, then me.
Kelly had returned to Clarendon from yesterday to assist my mother and Annette in preparing for the setup. They wanted all the assistance they could get, which is why I was bringing Nash and Xyla with me this early.
Hope dem prepare fi work.
After minutes of waiting, I finally heard a car honking outside which made me get up and head outside.
Since my father informed me that he had something to deal with, I wasn't sure if he would be able to attend the setup.
I stepped outside, closed the door, and approached the car before entering.
