Stolen Heart

Chapter 08

***Khensani's POV***

Today's my first day in Bryanston High and I'm in love with my uniform , it suits me perfectly. It's the second term actually.

Nolu : "Look at you baby! You look beautiful my love"  she says walking in after knocking.

Me : "Thank you so much mah. I feel good."

Nolu : "You should. I want you to don't let anything or anyone ruin this day for you as it is yours. I want you to keep your head high and don't let them bring you down. You are strong baby. You are capable. You are worthy. You are beautiful. You are intelligent. You are smart. You won't let them tell you otherwise. And I love you."  I just hug her crying.

Me : "Thank you so much for loving me mah and also showing me your kindness."

Nolu : "Wipe those tears now."  I smile amd wipe them. I take my bag and blazer then follow her out to the dining room where we have breakfast.

Bab'Muzi : "All the best babygirl and if someone troubles you , I'm a phone call away. I'll fly there okay?"  I giggle and nod. They are such sweet and warm people.

Sanele : "Goodluck sis'Q. I love you byeee."

Simphiwe : "Goodluck sis. I love you too bye."  They both kiss my cheeks and run out following Bab'Muzi who was already shouting at them.

Nolu : "So just like that I'm forgotten? Ahy Qondisile ungithathela abantwana."  We laugh.

Me : "Hawu mah."

Nolu : "ay suka. Finish up you girls so we can leave , I don't want to be late."

Mnqobi : "Don't worry sthandwa sami I'll take them today."  He says walking in. Lando chokes on her cereal while Mam'Nolu turns to look at him stunned. I haven't seen Mnqobi since the night we kissed.

Lando : "Am I dreaming or what?"

Nolu : "Sthandwa sami are you okay?"

Mnqobi : "Aw mah come on."

Nolu : "No I'm shocked because you HATE driving your siblings to school even when I bribe you but you never agree."  Mnqobi shrugs while Nolu shares a look with Lando , I just continue eating.

By 07:20 Mnqobi parked by the school gate. He turns to look at me.

Mnqobi : "You ready?"  I swallow and nod. He gives us money and promised to fetch us afterschool before driving off. We walk inside the school premises and luckily not many eyes are on us. Lando walks me to the school office and leaves me by the reception since she was rushing to class.

Me : "Uhm Good morning ma'am. I'm Khensani the new learner."

Receptionist : "oh hi sweety I'm Ms Francine the reception lady. Here is your timetable and you are now due to the English class. Will you be able to find your way or you want someone to escort you?"

Me : "I'd like some help please."  She smiles.

Receptionist : "You so sweet."  She calls a girl who was leaving a file on the desk and asks her to help me. I follow after the girl after thanking Ms Francine.

Girl : "I'm Pamela Kwinana. I'm in 12D."

Me : "I'm Qondisile Myeza and I'll be doing science and art."  I was also surprised by the subject choices so I chose this one. Apparently there are two science classes.

Pam : "That's 12AA. Here's your class. See you."  I thank her and she walks off. I knock on the door and walk in. All eyes are on me but I don't dare look at the class but at the teacher who has stopped teaching and standing with her hands on her waist. I greet her and hand her the letter I was given to give to all my teachers.

Teacher : "I'm Mrs Singh and I don't tolerate shit in my class so you better behave little girl. Find a seat. After class get someone to lend you their books so you can catch up."  I seriously feel like rolling my eyes. I sit next to a dark skin girl with nice long curly hair.

Girl : "Hi I'm Amara."
