Mfundo POV.
.
I was walking down the hallway when I saw my friends rush up to me and they pulled me into this tight hug. “What happened?” I asked now pulling away from the hug looking at their crazy asses. “Well we’re just glad you ain’t letting Drew get to you anymore and that today we’re finally writing our final paper.” They started dancing at the mention of final paper and I wanted to be thrilled as well but my life hasn’t been something to be thrilled about in the last few months. My family really had to do some PR damage since team Drew was hella bent on crucifying me for cheating on their God. They didn’t even know the full story but were already judging me and out to destroy me but at some point Drew did defend the cheating allegations and did say I didn’t cheat on him we just had a fallout. At least they were able to chill after that but some felt like we paid him to say that. Yooh social media is crazy.

“I’m just glad this over and done with.” I said with a sigh.

“Yeah me too.” Lwazi said with this huge breath. “Where is Priya?” I asked since she wasn’t with them. “She had an emergency at her house.” Karen said and I nodded. “Come you’re taking us out to celebrate us finally being adults.” Amanda said and I just agreed. I had to celebrate me finally finishing my Matric and I know I did my best so why not treat myself.

.
Of course Amanda being Amanda she chose a fancy restaurant but I didn’t care. Right now we were busy just laughing about Karen’s boyfriend who was nothing but a drama queen whenever they fought. “Can never beat Drew though.” I muttered taking a sip of my orange juice. My friends all kept quiet instantly. “I can’t believe he really married his ex just to piss me off.” I huffed. Out of everything he has done that just took the cake.

“Yeah That was crazy.” Amanda said  and they all agreed with her. “Who does that? Shuthi nami I should marry Jason since we’re marrying our exes to hurt each other.” I flared my nose but they just gave  me some hmmms. “Uhm dessert anybody wants dessert?” Lwazi asked and quickly stood up not even waiting for us to answer her back. “Okay let not talk about mr skinny. My dad booked us a 7 days vacation in the USA.” She sang USA even dancing with her shoulders.

“Haibo Lwazi all of us?” I asked and she nodded. “Yeebooh.” She sang once again now busting some piano moves. “Don’t worry all your families already know what up so you guys just need to update your passports and we’re set to go.” She said, she was clearly excited but me I didn’t want to be anywhere Drew is at.

“But why USA?” I whined. “Don’t worry, we’re not going to LA, We’ll be in New York, the big apple.” She said like she could already picture New York. “Yay.” I said obviously I wasn’t fond of even going to New York. We could always vacation here in Cape Town or something.

“Let me call our waitress so we could order our dessert.” She squealed away excitedly and I found myself sighing so heavily.

“Anyways my dad is thinking I should study abroad for my medicine.” Karen said and damn why everybody trying to go overseas. “But there’s good schools here in SA.” I said and she nodded. “Yeah but I kind of also want to change scenes. Mfundo I’m sure you too are going to study abroad.” She said but I scrunched my face and shook my head. “No. I like South Africa. Actually I love South Africa.” I was being honest. Why would I leave my country?

“Yeah sure explains why you were dating an American guy?” Amanda butted in. “Shut the fuck up Amanda!” I snapped and I saw she was taken back by that. “Okay listen here Mfundo. We have been tolerating your bullshit for sometime now. Your break up with Drew wasn’t our fault!” She snapped back. “Amanda come on.” Karen tried to stop Amanda but she shook her head. “No, we told her to tell him the truth so this thing of you acting like we owe you some bullshit is bullshit Mfundo. Yes we feel for you and we’re sorry this is how everything has turned but you really need to fuckin get over this for real!” She snapped and I nodded kissing my teeth. I stood up and took my handbag.
