Half an hour has passed by, Earl had begun to grow impatient and decided to leave the town hall and take a stroll around the remote settlement. But being a unfamiliar face he has caught the attention of many of the villagers. A group of teenagers start to grow their curiosity and begin to follow behind him, they have stopped Earl in his tracks. Out of intimidation the teenagers swarm around him creating a huddle, Earl is now literally the centre of attention and has been put on the spot. Earl jolts suddenly, he gets pushed forward by a young boy.
“Yur not from round here, weh you a go?” Says the stout young boy
Earls look at this young boy from head to toe and begins to laugh, a young girl from the crowd steps forward and begins to also provoke Earl.
“Ah wah you ah find someting funny, weh mek you a laugh so” Interrogates the young girl
“Uno ah come like some wildlings, weh do you, you nuh see man a big man” Replies Earl
The teenagers break out in a squabble amongst themselves creating a hype, as they are offended by Earl’s response. They start to become more rowdy and loud, shouting and cussing, the tensions slowly begins to rise.
“What a gwan yahso! You kids dem no have no manners gweh , gwan back up ah yard now!” Shouts a female as she breaks up the commotion, pulling the teens away, she reveals what the commotion is all about and finds herself stood in front of Earl.
