-SEBENTILE
Gugu has not timing at all, I felt bad on the way I talked to him but continuing with the phone call would have made it harder to finish this conversation with Sabelo.
"I'm listening"
I say after hanging, folding my arms
"Who was that?"
Ahh the devil is testing me
"Sabelo I don't have time to play"
His face changes
"It's that Xhosa guy neh? So you busy accusing me of cheating because it's what you are doing. Sebe how could you do that?"
I chuckle I told you the devil is testing me today
"Let's not go there. You see Sabelo that's what will end our relationship before it has gotten far because you blame every little thing that goes wrong between us on Gugu. You cheat on me it's Gugu, I don't answer my phone, it's Gugu. You even close to blaming my farting on him"
He's not saying anything
"Sebe"
"Save it Sabelo, the way you so self centered you haven't even asked me if I made it"
I see a flash of sadness in his face at this point I don't buy it, he takes my hands into his
"I'm so sorry sthandvwa sami, I know I've been a jerk and I don't deserve you but please forgive me"
I sigh
"Why did you do it?"
I ask
"Do what?"
He's trying to make me look dumb, I frown my eyebrows
"I can't, I really thought we can try it this out but obviously I was wrong "
I get up, take my bag and leave. He's shouting after me
"Sebe! Sebentile! Babe please don't do this I love you "
Everyone is looking at us now and I hate this, I turn to look at nkm
"Sabelo utifakela emehlo"(You drawing attention)
I say fuming
"They can look all they want please forgive me"
Bulo comes running
"Hhaybo what's happening? The whole school is looking at you guys "
She says as soon as she reaches us
"Nonjabulo ngicela ukhulume naSebe tu"(Can you please talk to Sebe"
He begs, Bulo looks at me and I keep a straight face
"Wenteni?"(What did you do?)
She asks with her motherly tone
"It was just a misunderstanding Bulo I swear "
I chuckle he's still lying
"A misunderstanding Sabelo? You call being in between Sizakele's legs a misunderstanding? I must not know the meaning of a misunderstanding then"
I say raising my voice,Bulo looks at me with pleading eyes she knows once I get angry it's not easy to calm down. I take her hand pulling her leaving Sabelo shouting my name.
"Mina why am I suffering for someone else's mistakes?"
She asks when we get out the school yards, I let her hand and keep on walking
