Most parents where I come from allows their children to do anything they please as they've reached the age of consent. As for my mother? I don't know just yet but I guess this is the start- this party that I'm at right now- A big people things. A she force mi fi guh cause she seh mi a house rat and mi a turn big woman suh mi must go enjoy miself.

Me and my friend, Sasha-Gaye, I think is the only underage people in the crowd.

How do I know? Most of these people are from my resident.

Most girls right now would be out celebrating their 'Sweet 16' but me; on the other hand, doesn't believe in 'Sweet 16's'.

I mean...what's so fancy about 16?

Age of consent Shadz. My subconscious points out.

Yeah but I don't really understand the hype.

Afterall not everybody is the same.

"Happy Birthday Bitch!" Sasha yelled within the crowd while giving me a tight hug.

"Geez yuh want ih wull party fi know? Thanks man." I smiled.

Sasha-gaye and I grew up together. Been bestfriends since...I was in the womb. She's a year older than I am.

Sasha-Gaye's favourite song starts play- Virgin by Jah Vinchi- and she starts whining.

As for me? I'm not like that. The only people that has ever seen me dance is my mother and Sasha.

"Girl! It's your birthday! Loosen up a bit!" Sasha yells.

After about two minutes of contemplating, I decide...

You only turn 16 once, right?

I start whining with Sasha.

Couple minutes of going wild I feel someone whining behind me.

But them no have no manners!

"Hello excuse mi nuh please!" I push the person away without looking behind me.

All them bloodclaat yah.

Yes, I curse but that's when it's necessary.

The person still find them way fi come back behind mi.

I finally look around.

"Sir move from behi-" Before I could finish someone's fist connects his face.

"Yuh bomboclaat deff? Yuh nuh hear di catty seh yuh fih move? Make me catch yuh back roun' yah and yuh see wah gwaan!"

"Um...thanks, but I could've done it myself," I say.

"Oh?" He says then walk away.

Of course I could've!

I was just waiting for the right time.

Yah talk 'bout that, yuh see the boy? Omg!

Yes, I saw him.

He's handsome as hell!

But this nigga has no manners.

Mmcht.

Right now I'm not even comfortable to dance anymore. I literally just stepped out my comfort zone and this man with him dutty self-

I hiss.

"Sasha I'm ready!" I say loud enough for her to hear.

"Me ready too!" She yells back.

We walk out to the main to get drive.
