Zenzelo's POV
The past two weeks had been hell,l don't understand why oMamcane are here because their beast is at the hospital, they should be taking care of him le instead of blaming me and mom for what happened... He is behind the mischief NX but at least I will leave home early and come back late since school is reopen...

I wake up and go to take a shower... I lay down my over ironed uniform and blazer on my bed, lotion my body, l come across a deep scar near my torso... Reminding me the time where he used my pillow to shut me up and continue to ejaculate on me... Digging his nails on my skin.. sigh tears threaten my eyes has l continue to dress up and go to the mirror...
My skin has lots of scars ... I breathe

" You survived, he's never coming back and you should never blame yourself for what he did, he's sick.. a monster..."

I say to myself then sigh... I continue doing my morning routine, combing my afro which is thick and curly, put some Avon perfume and my glasses, take my school bag... Pray then leave going to the kitchen.. l find the whole there except oMancane...

I greet everyone then take my lunch box and taxi money then left... Zenathi had already left she always attends in the early mornings. Lucky taxi arrives, few minutes later l arrive at school... An attack of hugs meet me , my friends and teachers are making me mushy " Welcome back our top achiever " one of the teachers say " We missed you" one of my classmate say " ...but l don't even talk to you" l say giggling "We know but you were missed, and perfect timing because we heard there is a new learner who transfered from KZN" Nathi says smiling...

" Kunini nawe ungezi la eskolweni, sikukhumbule kakhulu chomi" Sboniso says, he is my other friend, my favorite gay🏳️‍🌈 and l love how he is proud "Thank you for welcoming me, l love you loads"l say smiling, we continue walking to class

Ms Khumalo stops me and pulls me aside " Miss Khoza, has you know ukuthi there is a new learner coming today, l'm giving you the responsibility to welcome him, l know you might be still anxious..." I interrupt her "... I AM anxious " saying slightly lower and she hears me "... Ngiyazi kodwa , he will feel more at home because you are from the province,

Siphenathi is Xhosa and uyazi nawe uyahlanya umngani wakho (chuckles) and Sboniso... Is Sboniso so yeah and other learners voted for you to welcome the guy"... I interrupt her AGAIN "... Wait , umfana!?" I say with my wide open eyes indicating to be very surprised she laughs " Yes, he's a guy.... Bhekani Zulu" l stay noiseless a min then reply

"What if he's naive and naughty " l say has my anxiety levels increase"... Nah l doubt, bathi uyi nerd, and very good in Physics and Accounting " Ms Khumalo says then continues" l have to go to class but don't be afaid... He will in your class because you are few and you do the subjects he's doing.. (consoles her) don't be afaid okay, l trust you " she finishes and walks off

What the heck, l'm not prepared to talk to a stranger.. kaze unjani lo Bhekani.

[OKAY READERS, TO ENJOY THE FOLLOWING SCENE , LISTEN TO SJAVA ISOKA, NGEPHELA, LINDA, ALSO LISTEN TO CRUSH SLOWED VERSION OF YUNA AND USHER Thanks :⁠-⁠)]

Bhekani's POV

I rush to the car as my mom is hooting for me, today it's my first day in my new school... L'm nervous but excited... Finishing grade 11 and 12 here will enable lots of opportunities... Maybe l will get a girlfriend (chuckles)

"Yini khehla, are you nervous?" She looks at me through the mirror " No ma, l'm just... I'm grateful, and also l love you so much" l say smiling, she smiles back and continues to drive
... 20 minutes later...
I get to school... Almost 08:00 the classes had already started. I wait outside as my mom signs me in and also talk to the principal
It was 3 block building, with a beautiful garden and sitting area... About 4m there was a tuck shop, and some hall l think... From the left of the admin there were classes... Good structure and the paint was green , very earthy l see...

We walk to my respectful class, l get my locker number and l'm told that a learner from this class will give me a tour... How exciting!
I say my last goodbyes to my mom and she gives me a hug ... Embarrassing me also my reading glasses, brushes my waves then looks at me " Make me proud champ" she says then gives me a 100 rand note for lunch... This woman! "Thank you Ma, let me go" l say as l walk toward the door
Anxiety kicks  .... " You've got this!" I whisper to myself as l open the door

[ The first song to listen too is Yuna ft Usher crush, enjoy]

Zenzelo's POV
The door opens and a guy enters the room, and gosh he handsome!!! He tall and has a caramel skin , his glasses suite him , a bit bulky but his smile ahh gosh... I just can't ... He's is definitely new here.. " Yho chomi, akasemuhle" Sboniso says while bitting his lower lip... Nasty... " Yho Nzelo muhle yho, bheka nje ukuthi i uniform mihlala kanjani.." Siphenathi says making me to look at him even more " He is pretty handsome thou..." I say then continue writing, Nathi looks at me and pulls the ' you gotta be kidding me ' facial expression "what!?"l say as l fold my arm to my chest " Ngeke phela Nzelo.. are you going to give ... Actually you are going to give this hunk a tour yho asoze"... I laugh a little " Drama guys, he's cute but keh he's here to learn not to be charmed by you too" l say then continue writing... Mr Smith hushes the class then speaks
" Class, as you know we have a new learner joining us, please welcome Bhekani Zulu" he says with his funny accent, we greet him , he greets back with a lovin' smile " Hey guys nice to meet you" he says... Damn his eyes and voice.... This guy is going to make lots of girls go crazy here " Nice to meet you too!" Both Sboniso and Nathi say making nervous because he's looking at us... He shyly smiles and looks at me.. as if l know him... I look at him with a friendly smile then he sits down... Infront
"Mmm chomi, he is def your type, yho. Your type of chocolate" Sboniso says teasing me, pushing me lightly... We laugh then continue with what we were doing, l look at him wondering whether he's friendly or not

Bhekani's POV [ Sjava isoka would be great for this scene]
It's been okay since l arrived, three people introduced themselves, Karabo, Njabulo and Prudence... Karabo is overwhelming to be honest so not my type of chocolate but I'm adjusting very well... They talked about a test ... Like l just arrived (chuckles) but keh it's okay
I check my watch ... Also break time... Finally l'm going to meet my tour ntonintoni... The bell rings, then everyone start going out.

.... A girl with glasses just like mine, a huge afro and a walnut skin stands Infront of my desk
" Hi, Zenzelo Khoza your tour guide" she says relieving her gap and her pretty smile...".. ohhh and l'm your class mate, l sit next to the window there"

she points the area then faces me... " I know you, you are that girl from Burger King Nzelohle" l say amused and with a smile... "What!" She removes her glasses , now it's was clear it is her... I remember this round face " What do you mean!?" I remove my glasses also then smile, she freaks but silently "... It is you, but... Ho-" l can see she is confused "Zenzelo right? Not Nzelohle" l say embarrassed... She giggles, so cute " Zenzelo, nice to meet you again Bhekani, l can't believe this, what a small world " she says reaching for glasses, " Small world, but can l call you Nzelohle, please " doing the puppy eyes before reaching for my glasses, " Let's go , l have to show you your new school" she says walking towards the door... I guess l found her, now how to win her heart
