Into Yam

Chapter 6 - Sushi Fridays(e)

ACUMA MAAKE KANCUBE
----------------------------------

It's Friday, YAY! It's currently the last period of the day and it's pretty intense.
We were in Tech class building a bridge out of timber, with our desk mates as an informal task.

The worst experience of my life.
"The nail wasn't supposed go in the middle." and that was Luyolo's 10th complain, ever since we started working on this bridge.

All I did was keep my mouth shut, and proceeded to do what he told me not to do. And there was nothing he could do about it.

"Grade 11s, please hand in your projects."

I stop hammering the nail into the deck of the bridge and MR KNOW IT ALL  takes the unfinished bridge to the storeroom.

I clean up the table, gathering all the wood shavings, extra nails, tools and glue in one spot.
Once the table was clean, I take out my essence lipgloss and I apply some to my chapped lips as I look at myself in my pocket mirror.

Basically pampering myself before the period ended, so I looked like the shit.

The grinch sits back down next to me and starts to scroll through his iPhone 14 pro max that had a black, dull phonecase.

My mouth felt was very stall and boring, so I pop out my mentos chewing gum and I threw it into my mouth before I start to making a few tik toks. 

I look though my favorite sounds on Tik Tok and I decide to use Bad habit by Steve Lacy (sped up). I try to find the good light from where I was sitting then I start taking the video.  Lip syncing.

I took multiple videos and saved them to my drafts, some I lip synced, danced or wrote some relatable shit.

But my favorite video was where I included Luyolo into the video, unaware that I was filming him while I playing one of his grandfather's song with the video and wrote, grinch.

"Let's make a tik tok together." I say catching him off guard. He lifts his head to me applying more lipgloss to my lips.

"Okay, but just one." he says in a 'let's get it over and done with' tone.
What happened to bad bitch era? Being silent? Heeebana

I smile and we both get up from our chairs.
I use my bottle as support for my phone.

We were going to do the 'Get down on your jersey' dance.

We rehearse it a couple of times until we got the hang of it.

***Bell rings***

We wait for everyone to leave the class so we film the video properly.

"Hurry up bro, it's a fricken Friday and I want to leave." he says looking at his phone

I press the red button and the music starts to play, "Ouu someone has a date." we start to dance and we were nailing it until I forgot the handshake part.
Luyolo got pissed and walked out of the video. He was so short tempered and it was always funny when I see him get frustrated.

I giggle, finishing the dance then freestyling at the end while Luyolo glared at me as he put his bag over his shoulder with his phone in his hand.

The video stops.
"Can I see the video." he says touching his taper fade.

"Just check it out on Tik tok." I put my lipgloss and mirror into my blazer.
I put my bag over my shoulders and I hold my water bottle and phone.

He looks at me slightly disappointed. "You seriously doing this right now?"
