Having your friend of a decade move away is not easy, I'm hurt beyond but I have to understand she needs to find greener pastures...... So today is report day then tomorrow is the year end award ceremony which we will only find out today ukuthi who are specially invited together with their parents
"Thingolwenkosazana Ngcobo"
Ohoh that's uMa calling me and it could only mean one thing I am in trouble shit.
Me: [running to her] Ma
Ma: umdoko uphi
Me: I was about to make it ma
Ma: ungalinge ungikhulumele isiginis mina we Thingo....... Ngifuna umdoko in 45 mins
Me: yebo ma
She wakes out of kitchen
I go to the outside kitchen prepare to make the porridge..... At least only a year left for me to get out of this hell hole
Few hours later I am done with everything I prepare to go to school I do my hygiene process.. Then opt for a mint green mini dress(don't come for me parents will have to understand ngimncane ke mina habe) white knot slides and I accessorise with a gold necklace and a white handbag I then tie my goddess braids into a bun
As I am about leave I go to my parents
Me: Bazali sengiyaphuma
Ma & baba: uhambe kahle Th(they both look at me)
Ma: Thingo yini lento o yiqcokile
Me: ayy ma I love you guys bye
Okay you are probably wondering why am I wearing a casual outfit so Thi is taking me out that's why but after we fetch our reports... I get to school find Thi waiting for me at the gate
Thi: yoh ugezile today mngani
Me:mxm you also look nice
She is wearing blue denim shorts, a white tank top with white converse Sneakers and she accessorised with a white cap and white handbag
