KGOMOTSO: HIS FIRST

Chapter 9

KGOMOTSO

Oh man that kiss! I remember at dinner I had to face the other way because I knew I wouldn't stop looking at him. Last night was so magical that I couldn't stop giggling about it. The girls were getting annoyed that I wasn't telling them I was giggling alone like a madman.

I have a feeling today is gonna be a good day. I can feel it in my bones.

Khosi: "Girl, please get dressed up and stop daydreaming!" Spoken like a girl who did not almost get killed just yesterday.

Yonela: "Since last night you've been giggling, Motso. It's now annoying."

Kgomotso: "Oh, because I didn't tell you anything?"

Both Khosi and Yonela froze and looked at me.

Yonela: "Girl from Snell, what your tone." We all laugh. She walked into the bathroom. "Seriously. The whole morning it's 'hee-hee', 'ho-ho'. I'm so tired."

That's not even how I giggle.

Busi: "I'm suspecting it's that Pholoba boy."

Khosi: "Of course it has to be him! I mean look at this teddy bear and these bunch of roses! He sven bought a Lindor chocolate. Those things don't come cheap, sisi. That Pholoba boy is filthy rich, I'm telling you. You just scored yourself a rich Zulu man, Motso baby!" Busi, Mantwa and Khosi laugh.

Well I can tell his rich, but the filthy rich part? Had no idea.

Kgomotso: "Listen, I'm just happy. Is it wrong to be happy?"

Mantwa: "All I'm saying is, everything happens for a reason. Who knows? It might be Phenyo that got you feeling like this."

Khosi: "Wait. Phenyo? Am I missing something?"

Kgomotso: "Mantwa?"

Mantwa: "Everyday at French and Technology class he's always looking at you!"

The girls were making sounds.

Kgomotso: "But why Phenyo? He's short."

Khosi instantly laughs with hesitations until she couldn't.

Busi: "That is so silly, Motso."

Khosi: "Yoh! Why did you have to come for his height?" I shrugged my shoulders.

Yonela: "Hurry up and get dressed before we miss role call."

SIMPHIWE

I took a deep sigh. I don't know if that kiss automatically makes her my girlfriend. I put on my blazer and went with S'bu and Tim while the rest were at roll call.

Sibusiso: "You seem so nervous, bud. What's up?"

Simphiwe: "Can I ask you something?"

Sibusiso: "Yeah, shoot."

Simphiwe: "If you kiss someone you like, does that mean you're automatically her boyfriend?"

Sibusiso: "Wait, you can actually kissed your Valentine? Ay, that's crazy."

This guy thinks I'm joking. I don't have time for jokes.

Simphiwe: "Just answer the question!" I said abruptly.

Sibusiso: "Okay! Geez, Draco."

Simphiwe: "I'm sorry, it's just--"

Sibusiso: "Hey, it's okay. I know it might make you nervous. And to be real, yeah. It does make you her boyfriend. You're taken, Draco."
