Why you don’t tell your brother to leave me alone? No, it not funny, people at school seeing him taking step with me like me is something to him.

I love how you did handle him when him did come by earlier. You bad him up for real. Me never know say is so you can going bad? But truthfully, you don’t think him did trail me? Come on. So how as soon as I reach him reach then?

Anyway, I like how you went out and put him in him place, but still. How long that going last? No, I don’t think him badder than you. Easy, baby.

Then tell him again, cause him getting ruder and ruder. You sure him right in the head? And you know say him going after my friend Melissa now. You know why I think him vex? Is cause me choose you instead?

No, I not fraid for him. But is you supposed to handle him because is your brother. And you don’t know what him do out at the school …

Beg your pardon?

Yes, is your brother … Wha? You think only uptown people care bout family? Don’t bring me mother into this … You don’t even know me mother.

Lawd … you no tired yet? You going to get me in trouble, you know. Is bad enough you have me leaving out on Thursday, now you have me doing Wednesday too.

No, do it this way. Slow down, where you rushing to? After this we going to pick up the visa?

We can close the window over there. That one looking out the road. I don’t know, it feel weird. Like somebody watching. No, is you the one with guilt conscience.

Me can’t just laugh like that. Somebody have to give me a joke. Give me a joke then, nuh?

No, you come over here. This couch bigger and it nearer to the TV. Shut up, I do more things than watch TV.

You not closing the windows? Them so big you must get a whole heap of mosquito. Oh, mosquito fraid of uptown. Ha ha.

Rass. I can’t believe how time fly. Night already. Man, look at Kingston, it so pretty from here, all them light right out to the sea. I would want my bedroom right here and with only glass so I can see the view all the time.

You know how hard it was walking up your rich people hill? You was supposed to pick me up at the bottom, not the middle. Imagine, have me walking up like some household helper. In these shoes. You like me shoes? You really like it?

Make we use the pool, nuh. You no say your parents gone for the whole weekend. Thank God your brother gone.

So you like me shoes? Tell me again.

So when you carry me to Miami you going buy one even better than this for me. You wretch you, I catch you. You think I forgot.

So when we going?

When we going … What? Me can’t remember what me was going say now.
