Yes I've heard them say that we live in a world of possibilities, but for my level of thinking there's no such....
I, Nkanyezi-ekhanyayo Mzimela believe that I make the possibilities possible I thought of this as I sat in my Biology class and stared out of the window.

My thoughts were disturbed by the bitter Mr McKenzie
"Miss Nkanyezi would you like to share your thoughts with the whole class today? I have had enough of this in my class!"
"No Sir I'm sorry" I replied.

Thing is today my mind is all over the place. My thoughts:
1. I have to attend a function which I was forced to attend
2. I'm scared of the fact that my mother will scrutinize every move that I make.
3. I wonder what will happen if I run away from my "home" since on one really cares.

Again my thoughts are interrupted but this time its most angelic sound ever, the bell.

Right then I rushed out of class. Thing is I could wait to get out of this hell hole but at the same time I didn't want to go home.
"Nkanyezi!" Lunwabo called out to me.
"Hey Lulu I've missed you so much. Where you been?
"Ey friend as you know I've been in and out of hospital but these doctors have failed to detect anything. Which stupid because there are so many sides to this but anyway this is life therefore anything can happen."She said.

Lunwabo is the most bubbliest person I know. She makes the best out of every situation no matter how bad it is. We have been through the good and bad times together.

"Nkanyezi-ekhanyayo...?" She said.
Just then I knew that she knew that I was not okay and that I was completely out of it.

"Huh?" I replied as she completely interrupted all my deep thoughts.

"Nkanyezi-ekhanyayo Chantel Mzimela, come on you know you can't fool me. I know as well as I know the black birthmark on my butt!" She said and I slightly giggled because of the mental picture I've just created. She laughed too.

"But on a serious note chommie, ndixelele ukuba kwenzaka ntoni na?" She said. (Tell me, what's going on? she said.

"Friend don't ask, my life has been a hell of a rollercoaster ride. Well I don't even know where to start. It has gotten so bad in such a way that my mother has been in and out of hospital but my father couldn't care less because he is living his separate life which which consists of multiple girlfriends. Yet we all still live in the same house. He is just there, more like a tenant I guess.

"Seriously my friend the life you are living is completely unhealthy emotionally. Especially for your mother she needs to move out of the dammed house." Lunwabo said.

"You think I have not tried to make my mother realize that? I refused and kept telling me that if she leaves people will start 'talking'" I said sarcastically.

Just Lunwabo was about to reply I realized that I had to leave before I got into trouble for coming home late. With that being said I hugged Lunwabo and left.

When I got home first thing I did was rush to me bedroom. I locked my door. I threw my self on a bed and I slowly drifted away into a deep sleep.
