Confessions Of A Teenage Slacker

"I am so glad I met you before I died" he said.
Honestly, that should have been the creepiest thing that someone has ever said to me. But with Zoi... weirdness was a normality. It was an escape from the boring and predictable life we lived in.

Predictability was like living in a colourless world that was so many shades of grey, the hue of them all would blend into one uniform colour of nothingness. After being with Zoi, I knew I never wanted to be predictable ever again. Even though deep down, I knew I was. Nothing had changed. I was still the same ordinary girl I was before him.
But to him... I was extraordinary.

To him, I was.

Mandile is going through a "mid-life crisis". Which would be fine if she wasn't a 17 YEAR-OLD!

Within a few months, Mandile will become a fully-identified allowed-to-drink South African adult. Who will, also in those same few months, have to attend university. A world unknown to her and her high-school-centred life. So, in efforts to rid her fears of her ending childhood and face the new adult future, she applies for a holiday job, in hopes to mature fast enough and see how the world of adults operates. But her whole plan comes tumbling down the minute Zoi enters her restaurant and gets her fired, a task he had to complete on his bucket list, 3 WEEKS AFTER she got employed!

Pissed off, guns blazing and with nothing to lose, she goes to confront Zoi for his shady act and demand that he gets her her job back. At least that's what she was prepared to do, but as always, all of her initial plans are turned to waste as she has to save Zoi from being hit by a speeding car!

Follow the journey of two spit-fire natured people as they fall in love against their childhood traumas and all emotional odds. Whilst also uncovering the most fragile parts (and most demon parts) of themselves.
But remember...not all love stories have happy endings...
