CHAPTER ..02
Well I was very happy at the new school but sad that I had no family with me and angry at my parents as to why they fetched me if they were only going to desert me far away but i turned out just fine but i now had weird dreams I always dreamed people bowing at my feet this one day i had visited mom and dad in Gauteng and i had a vision, i saw the bakwena 1st king and e gave me a pendant and said the truth shall prevail I moved on as if nothing happened when I was doing my grade 11 my mom saw my pendant and said she can't hide who i was forever that's how I found out about my destiny who am betrothed to, I am from a royal family and how I ended up at boarding school, why am away from home my parents, my siblings, and cousin's I got to understand why I was always treated differently whenever I went to Limpopo why my mom would be overprotective when we went to Limpopo, I got to understand why I had to use my Zulu name instead of my Sepedi, western & Sotho names my mom has always been a cool mom so whenever I went home she would ask me if I have met any guy that I would like to be in a relationship with or any girl she was a Christian but she was open to lesbianism and she even taught me a lot of things about s*x , she would tell me that it's not wrong to experience dating guys or girls & let myself feel different things but I was too naive and self-centered to share my space with anyone other than my roomie and family and am too obscure I just told myself I will just go to school then go back to the hostels FASTRACK one fateful day I was from class I bumped into the most handsome guy at school the ''it'' guy our eyes met when I looked up and I froze
-THE HALLWAY -
The handsome guy : Hi
Me :
I stood there like I just saw some ghost he shook my hand and screamed Hiiiiiiiii but I looked at his hand that was holding my hand and felt some spark inside my tummy others would say its love at first sight I came back to my senses and ran like a maniac while smiling like an idiot
The handsome guy : Hey wait you dropped your phone
I just ran to the bus without looking back I thought the guy wanted to take my numbers when he mentioned a phone . I got to the hostels my roommate asked me where I put my phone my mom's been calling me that's when it clicked that actually I dropped my phone I was kind of trilled that I will see the guy again but how I will stop myself from staring or creeping the guy out I just continued making scenarios in my head how will i react what if i say something stupid and he thinks am crazy i was also confused that for the first time in my life i kinda seek approval from a boy i was deep in thoughts until my roommate sprinkled me with water
-MY ROOM -
Tshehofatso : eyyyyy where's your phone ??
Me : he took it
After saying that Tsehofatso was confused and I kept thinking about the guy if he felt what I felt or am I reading too much into this or am I in love with this stranger that night I couldn't study I kept fantasizing about him I took a novel ''How to look appealing to a guy '' I read it until midnight It was morning I woke up before my Rommie I was looking forward to seeing the guy again I was always a trouser girlie and a school beanie with glasses but that morning I tied my hair into a big bun and I put my glasses on cause I can't see I tried my skirt on but it was too short so I took it off My roommate was shocked amazed that actually someone can make me change we left for school everyone on the bus was so thrilled to see my hair they kept saying they loved it that's when the confidence built up we got to school and my day got ruined when i met Samantha the '' it'' girl she thinks she is pretty and she is just a thanks god am white
AT SCHOOL
Samantha: ohh what do we have here you trying to look good for kevin
Her minions laughed and I looked at them then smiled
Samantha : kevin is mine and mine alone look at yourself do you think you stand a chance with him I saw you yesterday staring at him well honey leave my man alone
Me : If you were literate I would argue with you but know that I know you just a pretty girl without brains I wouldn't waste mine on you and stop declaring the nigga as your man did he pay lobola for you or something you think am quite I can't speak you think am one of your minions well honey if I didn't stand a chance you wouldn't be here telling me Kak to leave your man ohh please get a life and am still a tutor by the way soo you can come i will teach you a few things babe you can't be illiterate and street-smart that's a taboo mcwaa go and put a leash on Kevin since you claim him and if he's your man am disappointed in him i thought he had class
After saying that I saw Kevin and his friends and he was smiling well everyone around us was smiling and i become shy again and walked fast as I can and I heard him call me I wanted to turn but I couldn't I went to the math's class as the 1st period and there he was I got in class and he looked at me with his friends and they all smiled I smiled and took a seat the teacher asked me to come and do corrections and explain how i got it right and after that he said I should give anyone the marker and I went straight to our golden girl samantha I took a seat then she struggled then sir asked me to help out since I choose her then I went to the board
Meneer : Those who are sitted make groups of 5 and do the project together whoever who gets the highest mark will get rewarded
After helping samantha I looked for a spot and the available groups it was the it girls and Kevin's group Samantha rushed to Kevin's group and Mr Groenewald said me and her should exchange I should go to kevin's group I was happy that at least I wont be doing the work alone but I was scared that he would say something well he sshut his mouth and we worked and whenever he talked I looked at him properly and when he turned to look at me I looked away and his friends laughed but I didn't care I saw my phone then I was confused weather should I take it or not and I attempted to take it and he held my hand and I felt that feeling again I felt hypnotized and the bell rang I ran out went to the second class and then it was lunch since i had no friends at school I was walking alone as usual to the cafeteria but now i was bored no phone no friend after exhaling I felt someone pulling my hand and pinning me against the wall and it was him when i looked into his eyes i got hypnotized again people were passing and i felt uncomfortable he noticed and pulled me to the empty classroom and he closed the door I kept moving back and I reached the wall but he kept coming close and I closed my eyes then he came next to my ear am breathing changed and then he said why are you running away from me I felt my legs get wobbly
