I Saw Him And Loved Him

Chapter 1

Today is my first day here in USA as an African child alone without family.You know how it is and saying overwhelming is just an understatement. Oh and by the way I'm a NYU student. So I chose to study far from home because truly I've always envied the way people of this side of  the world live like bro! I'm so different from the people I grew up with like at times,I felt like I don't belong in Africa maybe I'm mistakenly an African but heyy I don't regret being one . And since well I'm not home I'll have to use my second name Kylie , I wonder what influenced my parents to give me this name but hey I guess we all need English names for these kinds of reasons.

So I have One week to get used to this environment and People around here gosssh I'm so nervous I don't know If I would fit in .. I don't know if they will love me I just don't know . SHIT IS SCARY !!!!

At least my Scholarship was able to get me both an apartment and and a car .

"5 DAYS LATER"

"Kylie!!!!" Ohh its Hannah, I met her a few days back while fetching somethings there at Campus and she's a Second year Law student from England . Her accent Goddd!!

"Hey Hannah how're you"

"I'm good babe, have you tried to make some friends because we opening tomorrow and you don't wanna go around the campus alone looking for your classes ? " 

"No I haven't, I don't think it's gonna be easy for me to make friends and I went to campus on Friday to look for my classes I found them just they are soo far apart , luckily I have a car to drive me around close to my classes "

"Oh okay I see you came ready and prepared but look out for these boys" she saying this giving me that dirty smile

"Ha-hah , don't worry I can handle both the pressure"

"Oohh I see the baddy baddy side already" (Both laughing)
"Oh and let's meet for dinner at 7 ? Wanna hook you up with some friends of mine so when I'm not available and you bored you know were to go okay ? Oh and I don't take No for an answer boo so I'll sms you the location and shit"

"Was never gonna say noo I'm bored of having dinner all by myself "

"Then it's a date . See you later Bye"

Kylie's POV

Ok now it's 1pm I still have 6hrs to prepare and I'm kind of regretting saying yes to meet her friends I mean what if they don't like me and shit.  Oh great I walked to the coffee shop instead of driving now I have to walk back and I must say NY is a very nice place you know why ? People here are minding their own damn business and don't care if you going in circles or whatt!

30mins later....

I'm home now and need to video call my mom otherwise I won't hear the end of it if I don't. 

"Molo mama(hy mom)"

"Aw Mntanam unjani! Weee Khanyi nanku 'Buhle (Oh my child! Khanyi here's Buhle) " Buhle is my baby sister

"Heyyyy B*****" that's my dear sister for you. Lol

"Haiii suthuka tshini Yintoni b**** ?(No don't swear what's b***)

"Mama we have to talk yeka ukthetha hau! (Stop talking Xhosa)" now I'm listening to the everyday catfight

"Hayini Mahn guys , can you guys spend a day without fighting? "

Buhle : Ask your mother mfethu(dude) yoh! How's NY treating you boo ?

"So far soo good , I was just checking up on you guys I'm lonely yoh"

"Hahh deal with it you chose to be on the run"

"Yes I did and I got a friend"

"Inkwenkwe ? (A boy)" uKhanyi though. She smirks

"Qhaa (Noo) "

"Okay please find me a cute boy byee" and leaves the call just like that.  My mom is quiet I'm worried

"Mama u'right ? "

"Yes my girl "

"No mama you quiet and giving me short answers today"

"uMakhulu uyagula darli (granny is sick ), we just don't wanna stress you "

"Oh Jesuu. Is it bad ?"

"No, just ...,you know when an elder gets sick anything is possible " the worry on her face!!

"YEAH I get you , I'll keep her in my prayers mama . I have to go now "

"Bye I love you "

"Love you too " ..

It's after 2hrs after taking a nap and its 3pm, Hannah sent me the address already now I'm just gonna prepare since there's nothing better to do and not really in the mood to call my friends back home .

It's 5pm and I'm still looking for something to wear.. I don't know what to wear but Hannah is always in jeans and tracksuits maybe that's how they roll so I'm just gonna wear my Tracksuit plus it seems like it will be cold later

It's 7pm and I'm at the address I was given. It looks like a frat house and ITS A PARTY!!!
