CROSSED PATHS(교차로)

1.first step

The light skinned girl , cladded in the Wolmers jacked smirked at me before answering"July 10, 1940".Thank god.

Lord you haven't failed me!

" incorrect, passing the question to Edwin"

The girl looked shocked, she gasped and started fumming with anger.

Coulda swear mi see smoke a come out a ar ears.

" June 10, 1940" we answered in unison with a bright smile on our faces.

" Correct, we will now go on a short break, stay tuned when we get back we will give the result of School Challenge Quiz Champions" the man signed off.

I sighed taking up my water and taking a sip.

Dj turned to me with a bright smile and folded his hand into a ball , imitating a mic" and Ms. captain how are you feeling?" I couldn't help the smile that creept onto my face .

" what can I say , I came here with a well prepared mind and God up above and I delivered, period" I did the hand sign and we laughed along with the rest of the team .

The Wolmers girls caught my attention, the raging bull's eyes set on me.

Mi have on sumn fi ar?..

A muss.

" I still just don't get it" she threw up her short hands in the air" their a little tracks school for crying out loud?!"she raged and caught the attention of the judges.

"And still beat unuh wid we likkle tracks self" I heard Dj chuckle humorlessly beside me and I gave him a look.

I know how he gets when he's angry, we can't afford for this to destroy our opportunities.

" Kyra calm down there still doing the recount " Another team member reassured her.

" they better be!" She spoke back to the person harshly and she flinched.

Watch yah? Yuh fraid a ar?yuh fraid fi beat the gyal* Derrick Morgan voice.

Dem have too much problems fimi.

"If they wanted better results they should have worked harder and not mix up June and July." I said to Dj softly so they couldn't hear, while this big bad wolf still over there huffing and puffing mi nuh know how all now mi nuh blow dung.

Murdaaa.

" suh dem town gyal deh gwaan" he shook his head.

We chuckled then straightened ourselves when the cameras were about to come on.

" Welcome back to School Challenge Quiz, here live at TVJ, now announcing the Finals winner .

With both teams at 48 points, there was a tie breaker, the question was handed over to Edwin Allen after an unsuccessful attempt by Wolmers, Gaining two point we now annocce the winner School Challenge quiz 20......EDWIN ALLEN !"

That's all we needed to hear before jumping from our seats with joy hugging each other tightly.

I sobbed quietly on Dj's chest.

Our teammates and coaches Mr.Thompson and Mrs. Dias all held onto the check of one million dollars towards the members of the team.

Dj and I got multiple gift baskets because of our status, captain and co-captain in the team.

They came over with the cameras and I wiped my tear stained cheeks, can't guh pan live television an look di worst, crazy?

Worst like how mi know Aunty a watch?
