The day after Boxing Day... I call it the day of limbo. Nobody ever knows what to do from the 27th of December to the 30th.
Except me... I'm always out with Kyan.
Sigh...
The late morning sunrays and the warm wind glides across the verandah. Daddy is sipping his chocolate tea while watching some form of cricket on his phone. In the driveway is his truck, with two stray dogs that only come here when he's not at work.
*Him feed dem like him own dem*
Dragging my eyes from them, I look down at my phone.
It's been two minutes. Two minutes since I posted her.

Two minutes too long... 'cause if she no reply me ago shame and deactivate.
I take a deep breath and decide to give her more time. Who knows, she might be out with the girl that clearly wants my life.
*Stop it*
My fingers release the phone onto my lap before I switch from instagram to kindle. I've been reading the book for the movie we watched the other night.
"See you friend a come," daddy throws his toothpick at me.
"Eeeww!" I slap it from my arm, "why you so rude?" I scoff jokingly.
"Look," he points his mouth towards the street.
I squint my eyes, only to find Kyan walking straight towards our gate- her face not so happy.
Grabbing up the phone from my lap, I quickly slide from the chair and bolt to my room.
*Me nuh wah deal wid her when she vex*
Slamming my door shut, I dive off into my bed before pulling the covers over my head.
Did that work? Of course not. The girl mouth can now be heard moving through my house.
"Good morning Miss Lilly," I hear when she greets Lillian.
I pull my legs up, trying to blend in with the pile of clothes on my bed.
"Cyn, me see you already!" her voice travels down the passage way, no doubt to my room.
I hold my breath.
The door bursts open, followed by her dragging me by my leg.
I kick.
"Dutty gyal!" she drags the sheet from me, "me nuh wah no IG Happy birthday."
The sheet falls to the floor with a few of my unfolded clothes.
"Me see 12am pass, 1am pass, 6am pass... No Cyn to p*ssyclawt. You post me after 10?????" she folds her arms.
