Scattered Stars

Chapter 4

Naledi

Palesa doesn't live too far from me, she also lives in a shack although her shack is always in a mess, mostly because her father trashes the place when he comes back drunk.

I found her sitting outside on a bench with my other friend Buhle. They seemed to be having a seriously intense conversation.

"Chommie!"

Palesa was the first one to see me approaching. Palesa is one of those girls with a Blesser and she definitely isn't ashamed of it, she says that if God made her poor then He must have sent another man to bless her. She always has nice clothes, makeup, hair or weaves and she's always eating out at fancy restaurants. She only dates rich older men with cars she even dates white men, the oldest man she's dated is a forty-two-year-old man from England, their relationship ended badly after his wife had another baby.

She is the most busty and curvy of all of us and that also helps her catch her diamond fish. She was wearing a denim hot pan short and a tank top while she was barefoot. She had a new Brazilian weave and her yellow skin was painted with a bit of make-up, just a bit of eye shadow and pink lipstick.

"Hey, Chommie," I replied sitting down on the bench next to Buhle.

Buhle is the most athletic of us, she does all the sports at her school; soccer, netball, running, high jump, long jump... You name it she does it and she excels at it all, always getting gold, she is hoping to be the next Caster Semenya. She has a fit firm athletic body it is not too toned neither is it too soft. She was wearing some grey sweat pants and a tank top as well.

"Guess what your friend did," Buhle said referring to Palesa who rolled her eyes.

"What did she do?"

"She got back with, Noah."

"Wait, what, England Noah?"

Buhle nodded her head showing her frustration, and Palesa rolled her eyes again.

Noah is the forty-two-year-old white guy that dumped her because his wife got a baby.

"Chommie, why?" I asked not even hiding the shock and disappointment I felt.

"Why does it matter anyway, I got my daddy back." She shrugged her shoulders.

"I'll tell you why it matters, you spent weeks crying over this fucker and now you're back with him, have some class Chommie," I said getting angry and not caring how harsh I sounded.

Buhle decided to enlighten me as to why she got back with him.
"She says that he told her that the baby isn't his."
Now, this is news to me.

"What!!" I was shocked, plain and simple.

"Can you imagine that bitch stealing my man because she swallowed a watermelon, and turns out the baby isn't even his. The nerve, cheating on Noah." She sounded disgusted and angry about it, this girl is clearly demented.

"Chommie, but wasn't Noah cheating on his wife with you?" I asked with raised eyebrows.

She snorted," chommie, Noah is a man, he has his needs if his wife can't satisfy him then he needs to go find ...(adjusting her boobs.) Someone who can help him." I didn't even have the energy to try to argue that, but either way, Palesa is as stubborn as a mule and won't even change her mindset.

"Chommie, your hair has grown very long, your afro is big." She said trying to shift the subject from her man issues to me.

"Yeah, I know, the coconut oil helps. Chommie can you please plait my hair." I asked, hoping she would.
