Mabontle

"Mabontle, I hope talking to me about your mother helped, from today onwards we'll have these sessions, hopefully by the time I leave here you will be fine, but if not, take my numbers and call me anytime. We can also talk about anything else," said Kagiso's mother handing her phone numbers she wrote in a piece of paper.

"Thank you so much Mrs Mokoena, when my friend told me that you are great to talk to I was hesitant, (sigh) now I feel very much better," said Bontle who stood up and gave Mrs Mokoena a huge hug.

After talking for hours, Bontle went home, along the way she bumped into Comrade.

"Hi Bontle, c-can I walk you home? It's already getting late," said Comrade who was even sweating.

"Yes, you can, it's better walking with someone I know, Comrade right?" asked Bontle with a smile.

"Yes, it's Comrade," he said blushing, taking Bontle's Schoolbag to carry it.

"Why the name?" asked Bontle trying to make a conversation.

"Because I was teased for repeating grade 10 for 3 times, so they are indirectly calling me an ancestor," Comrade answered hoping that Bontle won't be turned off by that.

"Oh, really?," asked Bontle who couldn't stop laughing.

As they were walking Comrade called out Kagiso, who was walking in the streets. He looked sad and partly angry.

Bontle was stunned by the look Kagiso gave him, his eyes were full of fury, turning red and almost teary.

Why are you looking at me like this? Did I betray you? Are we even dating for you to be disturbed if my classmate walks me home? it's not like it's any of your business mos, just get a life

"Bontle, this is my friend KG, we really close friends. KG this is Bontle," said Comrade with the widest grin.

Wait...Even if I don't know much about dating, but why does it feel like he is introducing me as his girlfriend? Calm down Bontle, don't overreact, Comrade could just be friendly like he always is.

"By the way KG, why did you turn down Niki? She was waiting for you for a very long time. I tried calling you, but you weren't answering my calls I even had to ask Sterror to check up on you. What's up? You are not yourself lately," said Comrade.

"Look guys I will just go home on my own so that you talk about your private matters," said Bontle feeling awkward.

"No, it's getting dark, I will take you home, babe," said Comrade.

Hearing that word coming from Comrade made Bontle cringe, without anything she left both of them right there walking as fast as she could. She couldn't think or say anything. It was the first time someone calling her babe, but it felt so wrong. When she arrived at home she found Lesedi who had already done the house chores.
