"India" my father called
"Yea?"
"What is 12 multiplied by 5 plus 7?"
The fuck, I whispered
"Excuse me!?"
Shit, mi jus realize mi inna class and di shape bad math teacha did still inna wi class a yap bout ih same sumn
"What is 12 multiplied by 5 plus 7, India?" the teacher repeated, with a hint of frustration.
"Oh, um... it’s 67," I blurted out, the answer coming to me automatically as I glanced at the board.
"Correct, but I need you to focus. If you’re not feeling well, you can go to the nurse. Otherwise, I’m going to need you to be present in class. And please DO NOT use such languages in the presence of a teacher or anyone for that matter or I may have to send you to the principal"
"Yes Miss", I rolled my eyes cause mi nuh know who dis lady think she be a jus cause mi wah graduate mek mi nuh tear off fi har stale ass wig enuh
"As I was saying," she continued, turning back to the board, you multiply 12 by 5 to get 60, and then add 7 to get 67 as India said."
Why mi feel like smaddy a stare pah mi My subconscious said
I shifted my attention over to my best friend Daphne only to see her staring at me with a worried but amused face
"Yuh alright?" she whispered but it came out as a chuckle
Still being upset, I forced a smile
Yea, jus did a think 'bout tomorrow, I replied, my voice low, trying to sound casual. But the truth was far from casual.
Tomorrow a did mi big bday bash. Birthdays used to be such a big deal essi especially when daddy used to di deh. Him woulda tell ih wol world seh a mi earthstrong.
The bell rung awakening me once again from my day dreaming
"Students, please don't leave yet I have your test papers to hand out" Miss Paumela shouted
Taking out my phone and scrolling through insta a message pinged from an unknown account and before mi coulda open it mi jus see smaddy fling mi paper pan mi desk and when mi look up a dirty Nacari a laugh affa mi 99% kmft
Ntways back to mi birthday plannings
When I was around 4 years old, mi memba daddy a bury wah box under the oak tree inna di backyard. Suh mi did a plan fi do ih party desso instead a deh guh out and open infront a everybody.
It was kinda his idea, a little adventure we shared. But him never tell mi wah in deh all mi know seh a did wah big wooden box with our initials carved on it and it was to be opened on my 16th birthday.
"And mi seh girl ih bwoy cock mi up and dig mi outtttt completely essi, all now mi still sore" Daphne said while limping towards the car
Hear yah, but yuh couldn't wait until we reach inna ih vehicle ma'am
"No mi nuh want yuh driva hear ntn and think seh mi nuh innocent, worst like how him kinda cute to"
Girl please I said rolling my eyes at her before entering the car
"Good afternoon miss Snow, your mother is not home today. But your brother's are, and they have company over" Lior informed me
