There's Bliss At Peace

I looked at myself in the mirror, took my school bag and my phone before leaving my bedroom. "Good Morning " I said as I sat on the chair in the dining room. " Morning baby," my mom said. " Morning Mihle, " my father said. " Morning Hlehle," my brother said, that's very typical of him, I don't know why he still calls me that but I love it. " I'm taking you to school today," my brother said. " Yey!" I squealed in excitement. I always go to school with my dad and mom or just my dad and trust me, going to school with my dad is no fun, that guy is f*cking boring. My dad first drops my mom at her workplace, she owns a salon, a spa and a small restaurant, the businesses are situated at the same place, it's just a big building separated into a salon, spa and a restaurant. Anyways, my dad drops her off before dropping me at school then he goes to work, my dad is a police officer, a captain specifically. He also has shares at his father's company and also owns "Nkosi Guest House". I wouldn't say I come from a rich family, but we can afford everything we need. "I knew you'd be happy." my brother said, I am happy. " Nomhlekabo don't you like going to school with me?" my dad asked. I looked at my brother and he shook his head. " I do baba. " of course I don't! "Okay" we then ate our breakfast in silence. " Let's go, my class is about to start in about 50 minutes, " he said as he stood up and went to the garage. My brother is doing his honors in Business management this year , online of course. I don't know why he chose to do it online but hai I'm glad he chose to study online or else I'd have 20 nieces and nephews by now and he's only 23. At least here at home mom can tame him a bit. I hugged my dad, he was uptight but aii it doesn't matter, I then kissed my mom. " Bye guys, " I took my schoolbag and went outside. " So Liyani, how old is she? " my brother asked looking at my friend who was waiting for me at the school gate. " No No No No buti(brother) ! That's none of your business and stay away from her, I already told you her name so stay away from her. She's way younger than you, young enough to be your daughter." He laughed before saying, " Young enough to be my daughter? Come on, how old do you think I am, 45? " " Fact remains, she's younger than you so stay away from her, please. " " Fine, but let me accompany you to the gate, " he stood up and took my bag from the backseat then came to open the door for me. I looked at him and frowned before stepping out of the car. He never does that, unless..... Unless this stupid brother of mine is trying to impress Liyani! " You are such a player." " Leave me alone, I'm still young and enjoying life." "Hey babes," I said as I hugged Liyani. " Hey baby," she said as she hugged me back. " Hello buti Nathi" Liyani said. " Heyy Yani, call me Nathi you making me feel old" my brother said. " Okay then" she said after giggling. "Can I also start calling you Nathi?" I asked him and this brother of mine gave me this other death stare mxm if I was scared of him I would've pissed on myself. "I guess not, " I said. " Hlehle take, you'll buy lunch, I know you don't have a lunchbox and dad didn't give you money, "he said before giving me R100. " I know, that's why I have this, " I showed him my card at the back of my phone. " Okay give me my money, ungrateful sdididi (i***t) , " my brother said. " No, I don't want. " " Whatever bye, I'll fetch you after school. Liyani please accompany her to the gate after school, this little sister of mine tends to forget her way to the gate." " Okay, I will" She said after chuckling. Mxm I never forget my way to the gate I just take time before coming to the gate and that's only when Liyani is not with her boyfriend. My brother gave me my schoolbag and went to his car. (notification sound from my phone) I opened my phone, it was a message from my brother. * I love Liyani already, she's so calm and soft spoken unlike Tshepi! * * Dude whatever * I replied. Tshepi is my bestfriend and my poor friend is crushing on my brother. The bell rung and we went to assembly. All the announcements were made then we headed to our allocated register classes. " Good morning class, we have a new student," Mrs Smith said pointing at the guy standing next to him. I looked at him observing every little feature of him and damn! the boy is freaking hot. He's a hot mixed race with curly hair. " Please introduce yourself," she said. " Hey guys, My name is Christopher Maries and I'm from Pretoria," he said. " Christopher find a place to sit, Brian please show him around and make sure he gets to all his classes in time, Nomhlekabo make sure you don't leave him behind when you go to the ecomics class since Brian doesn't do economics, " she said. " Okay ma'am, " I said. " So why did you relocate to Cape Town, " I asked the new guy on our way to economics. " Cause my dad wanted to relocate here. " " How's Cape Town so far? " I asked. " Not bad, it's not my first time in Cape Town, it's just that I only came here to visit." " You have relatives this side? " I asked " Yeah, my grandparents stay here, " he said. " Mmm, okay " " Morning class, I hope my homework is done," Mrs Reign said. What's the point of greeting us if you're not gonna let us reply you? Hai this lady has some loose screws. " Open your textbook on page... "
