LUYOLO MADLINGOZI
----------------------------
Siya and I are packing up the tables. Today's tickets didn't sell out because there were two fucken bags of them.
"Boy, I think I'm falling in love." Siya says as we take the tables to the storeroom.
Same
"With Mpumi? C'mon Dawg, it's too soon. Besides, weren't you the one that said we are too young for love."
Hypocrite, you also falling in love.
"I know Lu, mara she's different. She makes me feel different." I side eye him. "Look, when last did you hear me talking about a random girl I've had sex with during the weekends?"
He's has got a point. Mpumi has been making a big change in Siya. He's more calm, still crazy but our convos aren't about sex and girls.
"Yeah. But how sure are you she's the one?"
He scoffs, "My boy," he rests his hand on my shoulder. "What do I usually do when I have talking stages with girls."
"Well you talk to them for 2 weekends, on the third you— fuck the shit outta them then you ghost them."
"Exactly. Now you see last weekend was our third weekend of communication, and I was supposed to break her virginity."
"So she confessed to you that she's still a virgin?"
We walk to our lockers.
"That's not the point. The point is why didn't I take her virginity."
"Okay, why didn't you vele?"
We get to my locker and I take the packet of takis biltong and my coke cherry. Just to bambisa.
I pack the books i'mma need for the rest of the day and a packet of Sour worms for Cuma because we have last period together.
"Because she makes me feel different. Trust me, I wanted to do it but the way she looks at me made me feel weak. I couldn't do that to her. She's too innocent."
I close my locker and we walk up the stairs.
"What about the other grade 8 girls, who were innocent until you came along?" I say offering him some biltong.
"Bayeke abo, they liked things so I showed them things." he says taking a biltong stick.
I chuckle.
-Forget them
"So what do you plan on doing about your, feelings for Mpumi?"
"Well she's still grounded for a five weeks, but after that five weeks, I'm gonna make her mine. I swear my boy, that one is mine. All mine. All mine ayi all mine, all mine." he says singing Brent's song 'All mine'.
"Sounds like a certified lover boy to me." I say and he mxm's me.
"And then what about you and, ACUMALETHUUUUU?" he says in a weird, cheeseboy voice.
I smile after I hear her name. "What about us?"
"Just tell me what's going on between you two."
"I honestly don't know. We just vibing I guess. But our communication the past few days has been lacking."
"Are you texting her?"
"Nah, I don't want to bother her. She's already competing for headgirl with that little brat Asakhe. I don't want to be a distraction. Besides I've also been really busy with the woman's conference thing and the workshop."
"OH my days, are you mad? You need to atleast check up on her. She needs your support and advise, especially if she's running for headgirl with that little demon. Asakhe is probably her worst nightmare right now."
