Xy-Monte's POV
I thrashed around in bed, trying to get some amount of sleep, I have been at this seemingly impossible task for a few hours now.
I got up out of bed and opened up the windows to let in some cool breeze.
Mi salt real bad , imagine yuh get fired and the same day yuh come in to yuh fan stop working.
I chuckled and shook my head, just affi laugh through the pain enuh.
It was minutes after two am and I sat in a desk chair which I placed near the window while fanning myself with a flimsy magazine.
No sah dem place yah too hot fi mi, know dung a Veer goodly cold right now enuh.
I got out of my room and went to the kitchen taking out one of my cherry popsicles ,enjoying it as I sat back in my room just think about my next step, what am going to do going forward now.
There is like a good three and a half weeks left before orientation .
I have money saved up in my account, aunty still send in it every two weeks.
Maybe I can use that to purchase some folders for school and the text books first.
Whatever is left I can use for more clothes , my own food items, maybe contact lenses too , and put down the little left with my other collection.
That's what I have in the bank though.
I moved to my little draw and opened it with the key , I took out my stash of money and counted it out to fifty three thousand, this is for 'rainy day' use, I won't touch it unless completely necessary.
Or to try finding somewhere to rent off my own.
I put the money back and closed the draw with the key.
All mi know is that mi naah just sit down suh fi one whole a month before school start.

I didn't bother trying to sleep anymore and just scrolled through the 'life of a uwi student' videos i saw on tiktok.
I'm now making breakfast for myself only, because aunty said we should just make a light snack because she's going to make soup early today.
Mi an the soup naah guh work out enuh.
" Xy, yuh nuh affi a try find nukn fi do enuh , enjoy the rest a the likkle summa weh yuh have left, mighty god man , yaah young gyal enuh?!" she sighed while cutting up the pumpkin into cubes.
" Auntyy" I shook my head slowly in disagreement." mi a think bout inna the long run, mi aguh want pocket money fi school , one heap a sumn nuh buy yet fi mi classes and mi waah can help out aunty-"
She cut my off with the hiss of her teeth" and none a that anuh your job Xy" she rolled her eyes.
I shook my head with a smile. Dem lady here well determined fi change mi mind enuh.
