Love Triangle

While on my way to school a lot of police cars drove past us quickly and I could overhear some parents saying that they don't feel like sending their children to school anymore.

I spent some time talking to my best friends Dewayne, Makenza, and Diamond. I talked to Dewayne about the plans to own my own business and that in case he doesn't hear from me again to fulfill my dreams.

“Jah, know me noticed a nuff new things a gwan fi yuh. Honestly yuh very ambitious but don't lose yuh self to dem bowy yah. Cah him tell you say him mada tell him to focus pon a get a scholarship in basketball and nuh in a di bagga woman…and did have you over last night.” He says while drinking his soda.

We were sitting in the stands beside the school field. I then looked down at my school bag remembering that Dre had given me a vape earlier.

While I expressed how I felt I saw Dewayne in the corner of my eye as I stretched my arms.

Just then my other friends Trishawna, April, and Cynthia all sat down with their lunches, “Girl mek yuh text we fi come meet yuh out yah suh.” Cynthia asks while munching on her beef patty.

“Girl a true yuh not even know…some things a gwan and me not even get the chance fi tell uno. Right yah now me stress out.”

Meanwhile, Selena was getting herself involved with an obeah woman, during lunch time she slipped away to pay her a visit regarding some personal matters.

Just then some of the basketball team started to run out.

Trishawana repeatedly slapped me on my knee to get my attention. “Girl me hear say dem a keep a party fi di basketball team fi a win so much game recently. Say it ago be like a school fair, with a basketball theme. You have to come.” She says and sips her drink.

My eyes lit up when I saw Dre, walked out, “Yeah girl and me have something fi tell yuh…” Just then a couple of girls on my cheerleading squad came out jumping and being loud as usual, some of them even dancing and whining and making their way to the basketball team.

I was sidetracked the minute I heard the girls coming onto the field. Is like I could hear every word they said and I could suddenly hear what others were saying to each other.

Dominique, was a thick dark skinned girl with bouncy hair, and was co-captain to me. She led the group of girls, Violet who was her closest friend at school was there. The girls were dressed up in their cheerleading outfits and pom poms, just then Dominique shouts out, “Dre mi husband!” Jumping up and down and waving her pam pams.

It was as if she was a yo yo I mean really compare her boobs to mine which one would beat?

Just know the smile came off my face real faster than Usain Bolt in the 100m  and I made a stink face in exchange.

I looked up to see what was going on around me. I saw Dominique running towards him on the field and the coach tried stopping her. And with all her effort Dre did not even notice her. The coach told her to stay with the cheerleading team.

I got up without a thought and walked up to her, while my friends called out to me.

By that time the coach blew his whistle for the team to start their training.

Trina was also walking up to Dre, “Nuh the head girl dat.” Dewayne said. She was in her tennis outfit and had a notebook in hand.

The coach ignores the girls and tells the boys that it's time to run out. It was practice time and he wanted them to run to warm up.

I catch up to Dominique and confront her.

Violet walks up to me and says, “A wah happen, Sasha, ah she and Dre deh.”

I was furious, “Wah, gyal ah my man dat.” Then pushed Dominique.

Trina runs over and butts in.

Dominique was too stunned to speak, “No girl a weh you a talk bout ah me and Dre deh.”

“No wait deh a push yuh just push me gyal?!” Dominique burst out. And looked at Trina with the book and says, “And you, weh you a chat bout just true yuh find di bowy book…” Both of us look at her from head to toe.

“Girl him leff diss a mi yaad yesterday,” Trina says and gives us an ugly look.

I grabbed her and slapped her in the face.

While I was starting fights at school right outside our school, Derek Jones pulled over some schoolmates who were selling some brownies, he pushed them up against the car and started pistol-whipping them, shouting at them that he was gonna lock them up for life. When he sees them breaking he starts to laugh saying they shouldn't let him find them doing that again and took them for ‘evidence’ after he got the information he wanted from them. He then saw the commotion we were making and called out to us, he then walked over through the gate. While we were fighting I wasn't too sure but I swore I saw him talking to Dre I wasn't sure because we all started pushing each other.

Violet took out her phone and recorded it and then jumped in and started hitting me defending Dominique, that's when my friends started to join, but at this point, I started to get really upset and started to dodge the girl's hits and grabbed both their hands and twisted their wrist.  Dewayne ran up and tried to part us.

After a few struggles, he was finally successful, “Uno stop the madness! Di man a gi all a uno bun and instead a fight him uno a beat di shit outta each other?!” He says out loud while standing in the middle.

Everyone was so distracted they didn't realize a teacher and Dean were walking towards the group, when they noticed all the girls began to make a run for it, “Hold it, we done see uno face and know which class uno deh ina.” The Dean calls out, he then points out his hand, “Catch dem. Catch dem!” He says to Dewayne.

Dewayne held on to both me and Dominique and Trina just stopped in her tracks but Violet took off like a jet and never looked back.

When they reached he asked the group of us her name, Dominique, upset that she ran off leaving her shouted out her name, “She name Violet.”

“Yes, all four of uno have detention. If I don't see any of you in Detention, I am calling your parents and me serious as a judge.” He said fuming and told us to follow him to the office.
