Few Days Later | Friday, June 10th

"Big up all ah di nice clean tight ole gyal dem" the DJ screams into the mic.

"If yuh man ah gih yuh bun sing out dah next chune yah"

Wait?

Weh him juss seh?

"Weh di gyal dem weh deh wid somebody baby fada? Put up yuh hand"

Suddenly, I hear Shenseea's "Sidechick Song" come through loudly on the speakers.

"If him deh yah wid yuh, put up fi him hand to" he calls out again.

Murdaaaa!

Jamaican DJs can be your best friend or your worst enemy.

But seems like seh some people nuh fraid fi shame, cause couple gyal just scream out.

"Sarai!"

I look over my shoulder to see Sevana walking up towards me, holding on tightly to Diamond's arm.

Tonight was my best friend Melody's birthday party, and it seemed as if the whole of Newport was out here to celebrate her.

"Sevana! Diamond!" I scream back at them excitedly, extending my arms to give them both hugs.

"Yuh look good muma" Diamond says to me, scanning over my body.

I was wearing an orange slit dress this evening, and my hair was down and straightened into a middle part.

"Ummm...honestly it's been kinda slow, but hoping we can get some big-name clients soon to get another break" she replies.
