Its been the full two weeks now and it was open day today. I doubt we gonna stay for the introduction and all of those formalities they do, just gonna go in get our books and leave.

We were currently getting ready. Thandile was showering and I was getting dressed. I put on the clothes Thandile had layed out for me.

I put on the jeans, my white Gucci t-shirt, socks and my Jordans.

I put on my beanie, then put on cologne. I sit on the bed as I wait for her. I take my phone then I decide to call Khanya cause shit it's been a while. I facetime her then she answers.

-Aviwe Qabaka?

-Khanya Motaung, unjani?
(Unjani - how are you?)

Thandile comes out minutes later with a towel around her and she goes to the wardrobe to moisturise.

-I'm good and you?

-I'm tired.

-So why aren't you sleeping?

-Open day this side. But I'm not gonna attend the whole thing. Literally just going to get my books, schedule and student card.

-But atleast now you have freedom. So it doesn't really matter what you do.

-Exact- ly? I see Simphiwe on the screen of the phone.

-Is that?

-Yes. You know we together mos.

-Nah.

-Oh okay, we are.

-But-

-Why are we but-ing now?

-I thought y'all broke up.

-We didn't. Simphiwe butts in.

-I wasn't talking to you.

-But you talking to my girl, so don't care.

-Eh, and you are? Talking to me like that?

-I'm the one who gives her everything you couldn't.

-And what's that. Cause I can tell you now you'll never be anything close to what I was in her life. Well still am.

-But we know it's stings you to the core when you see me with her.

-Khanya fetch you girl. Thandile says showing herself on the camera.

-Oh. Got your girl to fight your battles?

-What battles? Thandile stops me from talking and grabs my phone.

-Number one, who are you in the bigger scheme of things? Number two, you better shut the fuck up cause you were not even apart of this conversation. And lastly don't start us. Just cause you know we can't get to you don't be a coward and do it over the phone. Bloody shit.

She gives me back my phone then I laugh. "Damn girl." I say as I take it then she walks away.

-And you not gonna say anything? Simphiwe asks Khanya.

-You took my phone and decided to start something that isn't there. Last I checked, we don't get involved in things that don't involve us, yet here we are. Khanya says to her.

-Eyyy, jonga bruh, I'll call you later. Or you can hit me up when she's not there cause now Thandile's pissed and I feel y'all have a little talking to do. I say.
(Jonga - look)

-Oh okay. Enjoy your cut off open day.

-Yeah yeah. Can't tell me you can't relate-

-And one more thing. You might just be a rebound. I doubt anyone would go for your ugly ass! Let alone a girl like Khanya who has standards. Thandile adds.

-Okay. Later? Khanya quickly says.

-Shap.

I end the call then look at Thandile. "Really babe?" I ask walking to her.

"Fucken bitch." She says then I laugh.

"Okay, calm down. She's gone now. I promise." I say then then she turns around and looks at me.

"You just ridiculing me now." She says then I laugh then she playfully hits my stomach.

"I'm not. Yoh, but baby. Yesus. Don't say that again,  yohh. Had her questioning herself." I say then she turns back around and looks at the mirror whilst she does her hair.

I hold her. "Aviwe. I'm doing my hair." She says then I look at her through the mirror.

"But you done. What else needs to be done?" I ask then look at her.

"My edges." She says.

"I'm not holding the front of your hair though." I say.

"But you heavy. You weighing me down." She says then I let go of her and look at her. She laughs then holds me.

"Nah it's fine." I say trying to move her hands but she tightens her grip around me.

"Look who's weighing who down now?" I say giving up then she opens her mouth and hits my chest.

I laugh then she turns back around and finishes doing her hair.

"Imma go to the lounge nhe." I say kissing her then she nods her head and I leave.
