The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 14

SASA'S POV_

I got to my room, Amahle was still with her friend. I took my school bag, packing the books on my desk.

Amahle: "And then?"

Me: "And then what Amahle?"

Ama: "Okay? What's that for?"

Me: "What's what for?" I looked at her. She stayed here. She stayed with me here knowing fully well who she is.

Ama: "Notha, please give us a minute."

Me: "She doesn't have to. I'm leaving." I turned back to zip my bag closed. Nothando walked out the room.

Ama: "Why are you angry?"

Me: "When would you have told me that you're royalty?"

Ama: "Why would I tell you?" I stared at her for a very long time, shocked as hell. I took out my suitcase. "You're being unnecessary Thembisa, where will you go? You can't leave the res-"

Me: "Amahle. You don't owe me anything. I don't owe you anything. I'm getting the hell away from you is what I'm doing."

Ama: "Don't. I'll move out tomorrow morning. You have no where to go. I have the entire city." I wanted to scream in her face just for that stupid sentence. Did she have to brag? I grabbed my school bag and walked out the room. I knocked on Zimmy's door.

Zimmy: "Come in." I opened, walking in.

Me: "Hey."

Zimmy: "What's that?"

Me: "I can't be in that room with her. Can I stay here for the night?"

Zimmy: "Why? Did she threaten your relationship?"

Me: "Zimmy all I asked for was support and patience. I don't get why you're so angry that you don't know my boyfriend-"

Zimmy: "Why would I be angry Thembisa? Oh wait, it's not because we made a promise to be best friends, nor is it the fact that you barely have time for me or, or the fact that your new bestie knows more about you than me!"

Me: "I'm not doing this with you."

Zimmy: "Of course, that's why you're doing it with Amahle!" I walked out of her room, pissed. Petu bumped into me in the passage, I didn't even see her.

Petu: "Hey. What's wrong?"

Me: "Nothing. I just need to go to Linda, I need an open room."

Petu: "Do you want to come to my room? I don't have a roommate."

Me: "Are you sure? It's only for one night."

Petu: "Yeah. Let's go." We went up to her room which was on the next two floors. She opened the door and we walked in. Her room was identical to mine but very much customized. She had a vision board hung on the wall and some paintings. The second bed was empty.

Petu: "I've got some extra linen. I didn't make it because I thought I'd get assigned someone maybe next week and they'd obviously bring their own things." She took out pink linen from her bag.

Me: "Thank you." She made the bed for while I sat on the chair.

Petu: "Were you going to see Zimmy?"

Me: "Yeah."

Petu: "She's not there? That's strange. I could've sworn I saw her come in."

Me: "She's there. She's with Fikile."

Petu: "Thembisa, did something happen?"

Me: "My roommate is weird and she's supposed to move out tomorrow. I just found out something about her that made me uncomfortable. When I went to Zimmy she was angry, claiming that I'm shutting her out of the important parts of my life, specifically not telling her about my boyfriend. She doesn't understand why she has to be patient."
