in her shoes

chapter 3

A  months later!

School is great in a I'm bored out of my mind kind of way but I have to carry through my plans of the mask because I need to have nice cover story if I'm going to be a badass,I'm also working on creating relationship but so far I yet to have progress in that field and I have planned to put it on the back sit until further notice because I don't see any potential all I see is this naive children and sex crazed teen with a taste of freedom but on the lighter note I have two friends a guy named Sean and a girl call Ayanda so atleast I'm not too hopeless and I really miss my father and when he came to drop me of he was like "baby girl I made a promise to your mom before she passed that I was going to open up and show you how a real man's love can shape a life a young lady so I can fully say I lived up to my promise because I'm proud of the young woman you have become so continue shining my little lioness because you have the strongest guardian angel watching over and I love you my little princess"hay those had me crying my eyes out genuinely not the fake tears I have come to master and I also I plied for scholarships in Cuba but I didn't tell my dad and they have been accepted me for full scholarship in medicine so I'm only here in WITS for a semester then I'm transferring to Cuba so I said let me use this time wisely and create strong bonds for when I come back.so let me tell you I ended up not getting an apartment but I'm staying at res because of the delay in plans and also need to cement my friendship with Sean and Ayanda so let me tell you about Ayanda she is a wild child with tattoos piercings the works she is me on the inside so I can really say she is my spirit animal,she is from a rich household so I guess being her and just her mom worked in bringing who she is on the table because she approach me and said "hi I'm Ayanda and from today we are best friends and I'm going to have fun corrupting you" and as you can guess I played the innocent me ready to be corrupted and let me tell you I already have a piecings on my whole left ear so according to her she is winning and I'm letting her win and Sean on the other side is nothing like me he loves school and computers he is an IT students while I and Aya medical students he laughes when needed he is very cool to study trust me and he hate people so believe it or not I don't know we became friends but we just gravitated to each other and his is my male Besty I head it's a thing here in the city and they really don't like each other with Aya as she said I must call her and as you have guess I'm very awkward in a friendship setting because I'm a loner by nature but with Sean it happens naturally because he is anti social as well so we enjoy each other's silence and I enjoy Aya's noice because she is really a lovely human being and we all the same age with me being a little older two months to Sean I was born in June 26 and Sean 26 of August see also born on the same day but different months and my fire cracker born in December 16th all turning 18 this year. Well my brothers are all back to their busy lifes so that means my dad is all alone I so wish he can start dating because he is still young at 52 he really needs someone to keep company while we're away so I hope and pray or maybe I should hint it to him when calls because he calls shame and I head my eldest brother has a girlfriend so I'm excited that he might have grandkids to spoil soon.so the months moved smoothly and in no time I'm writing my last semester paper and I'm really excited about the move next semester but I'm sad I'm leaving my friends especially Aya we formed such good and healthy bond and I already have three tattoos but on hidden areas we also convinced me in getting a clit piercing it meant to increase sexual pleasure when I'm ready because boys are the last thing on my mind remember I have goals to achieve so next week I'm going home for the last time and I also have to tell my dad about the move and I know it's not going to go very well because I'm moving to another continent and for 6 years so he is not going to take it well but it is what it is another thing I learnt from Aya. It's time to say goodbye s to my friends and it's  bitter sweet I'm going home to my dad after months and not seeing my friends for what it seems like a long time because with my scholarship I can only come home when I'm done with my studies so 6 whole years from home but it's for the best remember the mask but it's going to hit really hard for my dad because not being able to see me for a long time but I have faith and he can come see at anytime so it's going to work .

Me:I love you soldier.i say to Aya and she is crying her eyes out this cry baby mara 

Aya:I love you too mabena. That's what she calls me when she in a mood so I let her get way with it 

Aya:so promise to talk every day so that I don't feel the distance?I stick out my pinky finger 

Me: promise.and she accepted my finger with her and the promise is sealed.

Me:buddy please don't get into too much trouble while I'm a way.i say to sean and he smirked I like that about him he never really gives a full smile 

Sean:what afraid of missing out?

Me:you know me so well frightening.i say reaching for a hug because I'm a huger now Aya again.

Sean: don't worry your pretty little head we are always together you know that right? he said and I'm content with that because I know what he means it's like we share the same spirit.and I nod in reply getting the car but not before Aya run to hug me full on crying she is such a baby I guess it come with being raised by a mom,I hug her back one last time assuring her I will call her everyday and I enter the car and drive off to my home.
