PART TWO
I wake up, look at my wrist watch and It is already morning. So after the episode of me swimming In my thoughts got irritating yesterday, I went out with my friend Sibusiso and came back late. I ate my dinner and immediately went to bed after eating. I don't remember anyone waking me up. So I get up with my head pounding the drums out of me. Next to me Is my cousin Troyen i hit him with an elbow in the process of getting off the bed. He's such a bad sleeper either way. He groans in annoyance.
"Shit bro! Watch out!" He says in his sleepy voice. "Sorry" I respond briefly. I should keep my specs always closer to me, I reminded myself. I take my specs from the table and wear. Troyen removed the blanket and pushed it to a snoring Markus. He was now lying there in his boxers only. I do not know whether he purposefully did it. I cannot deny that his physique is exquisite that's why ladies drool over him so much but he is not a chronic womanizer like Tijan(Lwando), I'm sure AIDS is calling that guy.He is well known in the neighborhood. One time a girl tried to pin a baby on him but he was too smart to accept It and the girl eventually gave up. I am filled with a lot of wild thoughts just by looking at him in that state. I shake my head walking out of the room.
I have feelings for Thando.
I reminded myself as I walked in the sitting room and found no one. Thando is a pretty girl from our neighborhood. She hangs out with Natasha my best friend and that's how I met her. I just have this big crush on her but I'm too scared to ask her out because I am not good at asking ladies out. Markus tried teaching me but I just don't have the balls. I just have that fear of being rejected.I continued to the kitchen and found grandma preparing breakfast.
" Morning gogo" i greeted her kissing her on the cheek. She turned to me and smiled. Granny looks young for a woman in her early 70s, people say she's just 50. She's very neat and strict when it comes to keeping the house clean.
"Morning!" She answered and continued making breakfast. I walked out and stood at the doorway in the sitting room. A feeling of déjà vu hit me
**flashbacks**
"Why are you always alone? Where are your mates?" Grandma asked when she found me seated outside reading a novel.
"They are busy watching movies inside?" I answered.
"Don't you like movies?"
" I just don't feel like watching gogo.. besides I'm reading my book"
"You're so addicted to books. It's girls things to read books you know. Especially those romantic ones" I stared at her blankly. I stood up and went inside. I found my cousins conversing about a party they are going to attend tomorrow.
"I think we should join this guys John it's going to be fun"
"Where?" I asked
"It's at a club downtown. My friend will get us in. It's going to be packed" said Tijan
"We're just 15. Nobody will allow us in" i commented not flattered by the thought of going out especially at night.
"Don't worry boy you're with us" Troyes assured. I looked at him in annoyance.
"Don't be so boring John. You need to loosen up. Don't be a pussy" it was Markus this time
"Sure Im in"
**end**
I sighed and got up. I saw Natasha and Thando walking from a distance. I was about to go to them then I heard gogo calling me.
"John!"
