EVERYTHING SHE NEVER HAD

18

It has been three days since the kiss and they hadn't seen each other, immediately after the kiss broke, Maya got scared and rushed to the school gate and they hadn't spoken ever since, but how will they speak when Tumo doesn't have a phone?

'he can lend ntate' Tomas' phone ' she said to herself, all this thinking too much was driving her insane, and having no control over a situation is one of the things that makes her lapse, she's in class but paying no attention, her leg starts twitching and tears start blurring her vision.

Its becoming too much and she doesn't want to cause a scene, so she raises her hand up and the teacher looks at her, she keeps quite and says nothing, but because of the tears and twitching leg, Mr Greg smiles at her and nods his head, right now she's just thankful that her teachers know about her condition so they don't get spooked out when she lashes out.

She takes her books and goes the direction of the counseling room. There are a few student waiting outside so she goes and wait with them. She keep bitting her nails and chewing on them, she knows that the session normally takes up to an hour with each student, so she takes her pills out and drinks them, with the bottle of water she always has on her.

They do the trick but of course they don't ease up the wild thoughts she's having, all she needs is to see Tumo and ask him what happened, did she like it? Of course, more than she was supposed to, but she doesn't want to ruin their friendship, she doesn't want to ruin they only ever good friendship she's ever had because she has romantic relationships for the guy. Lord knows nothing ever ends right with her.

A few hours later, she managed to do some deep breaths and calmed down, it's her turn to go see the counselor so she stands up and goes to the door. She is welcomed by the lavender smell of the room and a warm smile gracing Miss Walsh' face.

"I don't know if I should say it's good to see you or what?"

She smiles and sits down. "we always talk over the phone" she remarks, making Miss Walsh chuckle.

"but it's not the same" she nods her head in agreement. "what happened?" she takes her notebook out and pour her a glass of water.

With a sigh, she takes her shoes off and settles down on the couch, Miss Walsh looks at her and smiles at how confortable she is becoming. Getting her to open up has been a struggle, and even some of the things she's said, she can't prove how true they are because of how careful the girl is.

"I almost had a relapse" she says, catching Miss Walsh off gurd, normally they have to run around before she can say anything.

"oooh? What happened?"

She bites the bottom of her lips to suppress a blush. "he kissed me" as hard as she tries, she can't help blushing.

Miss walsh sees this and smiles herself. "who is he?"

"Tumahole" she says.

She continues asking her questions, and her answering, for so long Miss Walsh thought that maybe Maya was in love with her brother Kagiso because of how she would always talk about him, of course she asked her and the girl denied but not after laughing first, and she still had her speculations, how else would you think when you ask a person question they don't answer but the moment you ask them about another they talk?

But now, seeing her so smitten she's happy that maybe she's not in live with her brother, but she can't completely eliminate the thought out of the equation.

***

Its been a week Tumo started working, meaning a week since the kiss, and like Maya, he too can't seem to wrap his head over what happened, she doesn't want to come to terms with his feelings for her because he's scared it will ruin their friendship, but at the same time, not doing anything is driving him crazy, he's trying to be a normal teenager but it's not easy.

So far this have been going okay, he's been shadowing him boss, Bob and the man took a liking to him in first sight, he will start driving once he gets his code14 license of which his booked from next week to start classes. The company will cover the cost of everything, how lucky is he?

Because of how demanding his job will be, he was given a new phone and tablet to track the cargo movements, Mahlangulogistics is one of the biggest transportation companies and having to work at it with literally no experience nor a driving license has to be a mannor from heaven.

He got home early and took Mme for a checkup and now they sitting under the mango tree having small talks until they fall asleep but not before ma'Malita comes and joins them.
