The doctor says that I shouldn't go to school for at least 3 weeks until they've fully cleared out my system. So since I'll home alone most of the time I figured, no more sandwich making for me!
"You're so lucky you don't have to go to school or anything." Londi said while she was packing her bag in my room for some odd reason.
"Yeah, I am aren't I. It's not as nice as it seems though, I kind of miss it."
"It's only been 3 days Tia, imagine how you're going to feel by next week. Tisk tisk, study the dictionary or something." she said so I threw a pillow at her.
"Shut up! Why are you in here anyways?"
"I just wanted to see what you really look like when you wake up." she continued.
"You awkward human being."
"My advice, don't take that trending selfie, just, don't." she said, as I lifted another pillow she ran out of my room, and later came back. "I love you!"
"Yeah yeah."
My brother went back to his university and Londi went back to school, 'Bradshaw College' sounds fancy yeah, but in reality, its just hell with an aircon and really good lighting for Emily and I to take selfies.
"You hungry?" Sue asked when she walked into my bedroom just as I was about to take a shower.
"No, I'll eat something later.Thank you."
"Okay my skat." she said, wiping her hands on her apron. (For those of you who don't know, my skat means my love in Afrikaans or general south african lingo).
After showering I went down to the lounge once again to watch the real housewives of Atlanta, well, the episodes that I had recorded. My goodness, to this day I still think that my mom looks like a morph of Cynthia and Phaedra. It's so weird, but incredibly cool, I wonder if she could become famous for that? I eventually did get hungry but I didn't want anything from our kitchen, I actually wanted smething from Q's pizza.
I answered the door, and there stood:
"Hi Pret." I said, not very delighted but still excited about my peperoni pizza.
"Tia." he said, handing me my pizza; wow that guy was right, its a routine, knock, take and leave.
"How are you?" I asked him.
"I'm, okay."
"That's okay, how was your holiday away?"
"It was fun, thank you for asking, why exactly are you asking?"
"I'm just interested Pret."
"You got my name right, thank you. Well thank you for asking I guess. That's R80." he said, and I handed him the money. As he turned around to walk towards his delivery vehicle, I called out.
"Who was your-, who filled in for you on Tuesday?"
"Tuesday? I'm not sure, I think there were different people each day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday."
"Can you name them all please, I need to get back to him."
"I'll find out and bring you the information after my shift."
"When's that?"
"Uhm, 6?" he said, looking back at me from his car.
"Okay, thank you so much Pret!" I said, oh what a relief, well in a way. I hope he returns, this would be very exciting information.
I went back to watching my moms odd lookalikes and called Emily to join me after school, she said she would sleep over and go back to school with Londeka the following morning. What an amazing friend!
