Chapter 2

MAFUNGWASE.

I prepare myself to go to school .after taking a bath ,I moisturized my body then wore my uniform. Since there's no electricity , the green skirt and yellowish shirt is kinda creased and I don't like creased clothes but I have no other choice ,i have to wear them like this .

I take my school bag and walk to the kitchen ,my mom is preparing my lunch box and my brother's.

"Are you going to take us to school ?"

"Goodmorning to you too "

Ughh dramatic mom.i roll my eyes internally.

"Goodmorning my queen ,so are you going to take us?"

She nods and I smile , packing my lunch box into my lunch bag .Aphelele comes and opens the fridge, he takes out an apple .

"Sanibona "

"Yebo sawubona"

He doesn't reply after that and goes to his room . Which is very disrespectful, why would you greet someone then not greet back when they greet you?

Some people are not okay and aphelele ngcobo is one of them . Since we don't know how the taxis here work ,mom decided to take us to school .so we are going to drop off aphelele then me .

Aphelele climbs off the car ,he waves us goodbye then mom drives off . We arrive at my school gate ,OGWINI HIGH SCHOOL .
I low-key hate this school and its teachers , I don't like the way the male teachers think it's okay to date young school girls . They are so stupid and evil . I'm honestly glad that I'm left with only two years here then I will go to university.

I kiss my mom's cheek then get out of the car .my mom drives off as I walk to the gate . I walk into my class and my best friend ,lebohang is focusing on her books as always. I place my bag on our desk and she raises her head to look at me . She smiles as I sit next to her.

"Hey boo"

"Hey my moony "

We do our handshake then hug . Since it's the morning study ,I decide to do some of the homeworks that we were given .while we are chatting ,lungelo walks up to me and I feel the girl's eyes watching me ,angithi bayamufuna .one thing about lungelo ,he is a panty dropper and he has slept with almost half of my classmates.

He grabs a chair then places it besides me and sits on it . I continue reading bent not broken book 1 by thathu conco ,she is a good writer and I must say I hate ,I mean hate ukabelo .

As I'm about to turn another page of the book ,he closes it and I sigh . He is pushing it ,where does he get the nerve to close my book like he is the one who bought it ? .
I face him and he smiles, why are you smiling slima?

"Why are you smiling ?"

"Why wouldn't I be smiling when I'm looking at such beauty?"

Bored ke Sana, like be creative and come up with new pick up lines .I sigh .

"Ufunani lungelo ?"

"Ngifuna wena ,please give me a chance and I will treat you good "

"Treat me good or take my virginity then infect me with the STI that you have?"

He moves his eyes away from mine ,I guess it's true . He has STI yet he sleeps with every girl he sees , this is why I don't do people who are doing matric. They are so manipulative and all that they want is your body and not you .

"Who told you that?"

"That doesn't matter lungelo ,all that I want is for you to stay far away from me "

I continue reading my book and he stands up defeated and goes away .

"You didn't have to be a meany kodwa mafungwase "

"Ayi Anginandaba "

"Yho please let me pass ,I'm going to the toilet "

I nod then let her pass .after a while ,I hear some noise from outside and my classmates rushes outside. When I get out too ,I see some girls fighting and it looks like lebohang is one of them .

It looks like they are ganging up on her ,well not in my watch . I grab one of the girls and smash her head on the floor .our friends comes to help us and we start ganging up on them .I strangle the girl and when she starts to be out of breath, I let go of her neck then bite her cheek till I feel some blood as I'm on top of her .

I repeatedly punch her and we are defeating these girls .the girl that I'm hitting is now bleeding and her mouth is swollen. As I'm about to hit her again ,I feel arms pulling me and I get off her ,they help her to stand up as she is crying .

I look at my hands and they are full of blood ,eyy angikaze ngizintshele ukuthi ngiyolwa but I did and I beated this bitch . I hate her so much ,she used to bully me while we were still friends and today I got to beat her stupid ass.

We are taken to the principal's office .the principal shouts at us for about 30 minutes then hits us with an pipe . These teachers don't listen ,they are not allowed to punish us by hitting us .it's against the law but after all it's their words against ours ,we have no say .

After he hit us ,he called the other friend group's parents then ours ,I made sure not to give him my parent's numbers .I don't want them to find out about what happened because mom will definitely hit me and I will regret the day that I was born .

He excuses us and the girls we were fighting with gives us evil eyes as they walk out .my friends stands up to leave and the principal asks me to stay behind. Since we know that he sleeps with school kids ,lebohang looks at me with concerning eyes and I nod then she gets out, together with our friends.

"Miss ngcobo ,I saw that you didn't give your parent's numbers why?"

Aibo uyahlanya yini lobaba, does he wants me to get beaten ?

"I will tell them that I fought, there's no need to call them "

"Kodwa....."

Before he finishes the sentence, I walk out .honestly uyasangana lobaba ,I won't lead myself to death .
