KGOMOTSO

It's so early in the morning and already the first thing I hear is the sound of Yonela's car hooting. Why does she want to go shopping in the morning? I thought she meant in the afternoon. Eish, Yonela sometimes. I swear this is not her. This is something Khosi would do. And speaking of her, ten years later and she is still a drama queen. These days they call it a diva. The point is, she'll never change. I doubt her daughter will be like her if she decides to have a child and it so happens to be a girl.

Kgomotso: "I'm coming, I'm coming!"

It's still with this one's loud car. These neighbours are going to complain if I don't get to her car now.
You know what, I'm not going with a handbag because I know just how much shopping we'll be doing today. I'm dealing with rich kids here.

She looks very irritated from that windscreen. I enter her Mini Cooper with that "I don't care" attitude because I know she won't be mad forever.

Yonela: "Why do you take so long Motso?"

Kgomotso: "Relax, it wasn't even that long."

Yonela: "Really?"

Kgomotso: "Okay, fine. I was contemplating if I should take a purse or a handbag, and if it wasn't for your loud hooting maybe I would've made a decision without any loud noises." She laughs.

Yonela: "Sorry about that."

Kgomotso: "It's okay. But next time my neighbours are gonna complain and my neighbours are white, Nela."

Yonela: "Ah, the white people." We laugh it off.

But seriously, they're irritating.

Yonela: "You ready to go?"

Kgomotso: "Yep."

A notification?
Mac & Co?

Yonela: "Girl, what is it?" She asks as I skim through the email looking for that one word.

AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Kgomotso: "This comapny accepted my application!"

I'm so in the moment that I'm even squealing with her! I know she's happy for me.

Yonela: "What did they say, what did they say?"

Kgomotso: "They said that my interview is this Friday. Mmata I'm gonna have a job!"

Yonela: "Mmata!!!"

There we go squealing again.

LESEGO

I thought I should drive to Felicia's place and know what the heck that meeting they had was about yesterday. They should understand that there's a woman I'm planning to marry and I want to spend time with her so there's sacrifices that have to be made in order for that to happen. I enter their driveway since I have the remote to their gate. Everyone has their own remote.
Funny how their door isn't locked.

Lesego: "Hayi man! Heh nyina! Get a room!"

Sies man!
She gets off him.
They were about to do it?!
Hayi man!

Itumeleng: "What the heck are doing here so early in the morning Lesego?"

I think I'm traumatised now. I don't think I'll see boetie the same again.

Felicia: "And why didn't you knock?"

Sies.

Lesego: "Why isn't the door locked?"

Felicia: "I had to take the kids to school."

Lesego: "Hai. Okay. But I'm not here for that." I sit on one of their couches.
