My name is ayanda zwide and I'm 16 years old and I'm currently in grade 11 and I come from a wealthy
family I have two older siblings.my brother and sister and I'm the last born
And they are both married and they don't live with us anymore they have their own houses
So I have a car ( orange polo) it was my birthday present from my dad and mom bought me the latest
iphone with 3 cameras
And on the day of my birthday.i was told that when I turn 18 I will get married to some boy called
Kgomotso lubabalo Khumalo . At first I was shocked and broken that my parent's had chosen a boy.
...so today we're going to luba's house reason being our parents wants us to get to know each other
and since this pandemic disease has made us to be on lock down im always at home and learning
online so I can be able to go to grade 12 next year
I'm busy on my phone with my big sister telling her that I don't wanna get married when my mom says..
She sighed then they went inside the garage I also got out of the car talking to asa my best friend and
also my sister from another mother..
I'm not fine but I'm mad at my parents..I'm still young for marriage what if lubabalo is an asshole I really
can't stand rude people
Me: (was now outside of the car getting some air )friend am thinking of running away
Her:no no friend you can't do that who am I supposed to live with when you're gone please don't
even think of that
Me:but asa I don't want to get married I'm still young I'll just dissappear and use my allowance maybe
my parents will find me then see that I don't really wanna get married then will let me do what I want
Her:i hear that you don't wanna get married but friend .. running away is a bit extreme and where will
you go huh?
Me:maybe my brother can hide me for a while I know he can do anything that I want
Her: no ayanda don't run if you do I'm going to tell your parents !
Her:Yaya mahn!!
I got back inside the car with them then mom gave me a plastic of goodies and a cold drink
Me:thank you ..
We continued going the folks tried to make a convo with me but I just kept quite then they also shut
their mouth
After an hour we arrived to this big mansion it looked really beautiful and we got out went inside
Aya's dad : you were chosen by your great grandfather
Dad: and you can never separate even if you want too because you are bound to be together forever
I just sighed
Me: what where because she doesn't know this place she could get lost
Aya's mom: we thought maybe she went to the balcony to get some air after hearing what we told her.
Mom: let's go and look for her
We all went downstairs and looked for her all over the house but we can't find her. We all started to
worry Aya's mom and my mom are crying their eyeballs out and the dad's are trying to calm their wives
down. The time was now 19:25 then I remembered that earlier on we went to the park so she must be
there. I just ran took my car keys then drove to the park fast but it's not too far it just that I wanted to
there fast. I arrived then looked around till I saw her sitting on a bench looking down like she's crying
Ohhh God it's very cold let me look for a jersey in the car cause mina (me) I'm wearing long sleeve shirt
and she is just wearing a oversized tee and a Jean .I took the jersey to where she is sitting and I put the
jersey around her shoulders and she jumped like she's scared then she looked at me with glassy eyes
then sniffed and I hugged her and she just cried alot
Aya:I...I....I
I carried her bridal style went to the car then I put her in the backseat want to
driver's seat then started the car going home.

be friends but I love him and I thought he loved me too.
Convo:
Me: hello
Asa: friend
Asa:home why.... Wait why do you sound like you're crying what's going on babe
Me: just hurry and go take my car come and fetch me I will tell you later (sniffing)
Asa: but I don't know the place ( running to aya's Hause)
Fuck no he saw me. I just ran went back home while crying went to lock myself in our room sent asa
the location then took my school bag packed few clothes because I don't have time to pack my laugage.
I heard him calling my name but I just kept quite
After 2 and a half hours asa called me saying she's outside the gate I quickly took my phone school
bag then existed the room I found him with lwazii pacing up and down when they saw me kgomo ran
and met me halfway on the stairs
He obeyd I just ran going outside with them busy calling my name opened my car then asa just drove
off immediately after sometime we finally arrived at at home but I just told asa to go to her Hause
luckily her parents were away to Durban coming back after a week and asa is their only child so I will
have some privacy. I just went to ASA's room then slept with tears coming out of my eyes like there's a
sea inside them.
Woke up in the morning went to make Breakfast but it was already made so I just eat then went to the
lounge found asa watching the TV
Asa: but you said you and him can be friends mus so why are you hurt
Asa:what about him because he thinks that you don't love him
Asa: maybe it's not his girlfriend and Wena here you are jumping conclusionss
The thing is asa is a straight talker and also supportive but now I don't see support,I see a straight
talker.
Me:but......
Maybe I should have let him explain himself hear his side of a story but no I choose to run away. I don't
want to be that person to always run away when there's a problem
Me:eish
Her: hello
Her:OuKaY Shap
Asa:hell no
Me:urghhhhh!! fine!
We went to take a bath then wore our short dress. Matching and also slaying
We left went to some lunch date at mac Donald with ASA's boyfriend {tumelo} (asshole because he
always cheat on her but she forgives and forget ) and his friend { Sandiso}( he's a player and he's been
asking me out ) but nop I don't love him and you know my issue.
I'm sitting next to Sandi and well the love birds are sitting next to each other playing lovey Dovey
Me: please don't call me that it's disgusting coming from you
Sandi:yohhhh
Thank God he decided to keep quite until we went back to ASA's home but we were not inside we
ended up taking a walk the love birds were walking infront of us while we were behind I was listening
to music while Sandi was trying to make a convo here and there but I wasn't interested so he decided to
shut up.
I was not focusing on the road until I bumped into a hard chest
Me: sorry I was not looking on the way (still looking down)
The person stayed quite until I looked up only to find kgomo looking at me
Me:kgomo
Ohhh noo he followed me I looked side ways I saw Sandi busy trying to get off lwazii and Caleb while
Linda was talking to tumelo asa was standing far from us.
He said with a deep commanding voice that sent chills to my body. Omg he's angry but am the one
who's supposed to be angry not the other way around is it because of me walking with Sandi or
something else. Ohh shit the dress it was too short maybe that what's made him angry. I just kept quiet.
Me: asanda lets go home mntase (I said ignoring this hot nigga infront of me)
I turned around prepared to go to asa's home but he grabbed me and carried me bridal style with me
screaming for him to let go of me. He put me in the backseat then goes to the driver's seat then drives
to to some old closed school
He ignores me o....Kay why is he angry .we stay in silence for about 10 Min
Him:who is he
Me who is she
Me: he's some guy you don't want to even wanna know
Him:is he your boyfriend
Silence
Me:lubabalo!
Him:what!!
Me:but you said you never dated ..... Why did you lie
Him:you're angry?
Him:okay why did you come here crying but you said you don't love me
Him: okay let's go get your things and the guys so that we could go back at my house
Me:our parents won't know that am here because they are all gone to Sandton
Me:but Luba
Him:no
Him: I will leave you here alone and your thugs will kidnapp you
Me:I will call asanda to come get me or that boy I was walking with
I took it and turned it on and it was a picture of me sleeping with my lips slightly pouted. Wow I'm so
cute
Him: when you were asleep and that my phone thank you
We went back to were we left the others but asa's boyfriend and his lapdog were now gone .
Her:he's gone
Me:can you believe that since I went there,I just talked to them once or twice,I don't even have a friend
am always bored
Her:it's because you love me too much for you to get another friend and besides you don't even know
how to make friends
Me:no comment
Her:so tell me why you came here crying the other day.
I narrated the story from the start where kgomo(Luba) asked me to be her girlfriend and I said no we
only be friends till what happened today.
Her:damn
Me:that all you gonna say "damn" wow what a friend I have.
Her:hau chommiiie don't be dramatic I just can't believe that you rejected him ,I mean look at him , he's
a hunk.
Me: friend what should6 I say to him if he asks me why I ran away.
Her:come on friend you will figure it yourself . Chommiiie if you love him you should tell him and for
you it's easy since both your parents know that you are dating.
Me:I guess
Her:let's go back
We went back and found 3 girls with the guys. Arghhh they are our enemies (me and ASA ) because
they are too forward and also bullies. And they always want to start a fight with us. Anele , their boss
was busy trying to sit on luba's lap
ASA:hellos
They all turned to look at us but the girls looked at us with so much attitude.
They stood up
Luba:you guys go with the car then me and Yaya will walk to asa's Hause(⁹((
Anele:boys I thought we were still talking especially you (she said pointing at Luba who was next to me)
Luba:me? But I was not talking to you, I don't even know you Ntombi(girl)
ASA and the guys were now inside the car and they drove off
He looked angry
Him:Yee ehh (no) I'm not okay
Me:what's wrong
Me:stop it dude
Him:I'm not dude to you. But on a serious note why did you run away that day.
Him:you heard me
Me: no I don't
Me:umhh .. he is my cousin
Them:ohh
We approached the gate and saw the guys sitting at the varenda
Him:I wanna hug you and kiss you so bad but I'm hurt
I just went close to him and he ran away getting inside the house and I ran after him the guys were
now laughing so hard. I found him on the kitchen. Then I hit the back of his ahead then ran and he ran
after me. I got to my room and he quickly entered and locked the door.
I jumped on the bed and closed my eyes. Then he came on top of me and kissed the light out of me then
he pulled out
Him:now am okay
We cuddled on the bed and had a light conversation until I fell asleep
Kgomotso\lubabalo POV
Here am looking at this beautiful creature sleeping next to me and am so in love.i loved her when my
older brother secretly showed me her pictures and no am falling hard,I was hurt when she told me that I
am a playboy because am not like that,my family may be rich and I agree that am a cheese Boy but that
does not mean I play girls hearts.my mother tought me well. I remember when she told me this she was
like "boy you may be beautiful but don't break girls hearts and don't look others down because you
come from a wealthy family and don't act like a brat because you're not"
Caleb:guys you've been there for 2 and a half hours ,aren't you hungry.
Caleb:wake her up and come so that we can go buy kotas and besides we need to leave cause it's late
now.
Me:okay
Me:Yaya,aya
Me:wake up
Me:we will first go and buy bunny chows after that we will go home
Her: but....
Her:yiepiiiiieee
I just laughed.she went to the bathroom then she came out after 5 minutes
Me:let's go
Me:asa when we come back we need to go back at dramrock and we want to come with you
Asanda:really
Me:yes
ASA:yeyyyy!!!
We left and went to buy the kotas and Luba paid for me while lwazi paid for asa
They also bought cans of coke then we left and went to the park and ate while chatting and playing
around. Then we went back at asa's house ,took our things then left to luba's place. In the car it was
me,ASA,and Linda while Luba had lwazii and Caleb was on the other car. On the road my brother called
me
Convo:
Me: Hello bhuti {brother}
Him: iphi imoto yakho werrhhh mtanandin (where is your car you child)
Me:yoohhh ithathiwe ngu ASA for ukungivakashela ( ASA took it to visit me)
.....
He hungs up .mxm he never says bye that guy. And I forgot that he put a tracker that only me and him
knows about. Reason being he said "we mtanandin you are too forward that why I'm putting this
tracker to know where you are everytime."
The guys had left it was only me,ASA,and Luba. We just ate cornflakes then we went to sleep.
.........
I chuckle
Me:o.o..ookay
We went to take a shower together For the first time . And I was not even scrared nor uncomfortable.
Kgomotso's ( lubabalo)POV
I'm happy Ayanda got to shower with me for the fist time without being uncomfortable.
We then wore our clothes, she wore blue cargo pants and a boobtube top with a bikers jacket and black
air Force. And I wore blue jeans, oversized t- shirt and white air Force then we went downstairs and
made breakfast for us (ASA included) then we ate ours while ASA was still asleep after that we cleaned
our mess then went shopping for clothes and a little groceries
With money that we were given by my big sister and also my mom. Then came back to ASA who was
with lwazii wtv.
Ayanda's POV
We came back from the mall ,found ASA with lwazii.kanti watssup with them. I've been eyeing them but
it's okay as long as my friend is happy.
ASA:where have you been ... I've been looking for you everywhere
ASA:mxm okay
Luba:yanda
Me:mhhh
Luba:(he looked down then up again, our eyes met) Yes for real I cants even stop myself.
Me: can't believe I'm saying this now but I love you too
Him: Really!
Me:Yep
He started jumping around in excitement then came towards the other side of the bed where I was
standing but I just jumped on the bed running around the room he was running after me then he found
me and kissed the light out of me then pulled out leaving me out of breath.
He came close to me
Him:uhhhmm
I stood up on my toes and kissed him rapping my arms around his neck .
He responded and picked me up, I tapped my legs around his waist then he went and placed me on the
wall. We kissed for about 10 minutes. I pulled out
I just smiled
Me:put me down
Me:hhaybooo
We kissed for a good 5 minutes then he puts me down as I am leaving he holds my hand and kisses me
again then smiles between the the kiss then he pulls out
Him: damnn I'm addicted to your lips .... My forefathers chose well for me
I just smiled
We went to the living room holding hands we found the guys there with new girls sitting couple by
couple I think..... Lwazii was with ASA but there was this familiar face... Ohhh it's that chick that was
busy touching my man. Yes! You heard me that's my man!
What is she doing here.
Nompilo:I....
Linda: hhayi ndoda no need to be rude I'm sure they meant no harm.
I could see that the first two girls we will maybe get along just fine but am sensing bad vibes from pearl
and that mpilo girl. They were busy giving me nasty looks
I let Luba go then went to sit next to asanda who was right next to lwazi.
She was busy with her phone so focused on it a second later she gave the phone and ran to the
bedroom
I stood up with her phone and left them going to asa , found her crying silently under the covers , sat
down next to her on the bed and gently brushed her on her back while looking at the text on her phone
and saw a picture of her ass boyfriend and anele at what looks like a party busy kissing. Ohh god(face
palming) these were text from anele, am sure she so happy where she is right now.
Am literally lost of words like really. I actually don't know how to comfort someone, I just carried on
brushing her back slowly
I really suck at comforting someone like really so I just kept quite and slept next to her. She cried until
she fell asleep after a few minutes
Luba knocked
Him: yanda are you guys okay can I come in ( he spoke softly)
Me: come in
I got out of the covers and he stood on the door frame looking at me
Luba: look yanda nompilo does not mean anything to me she has always wanted to be Mrs kgomotso
but.......
He kept quite maybe it's because of the name i called him with that name
Him: they have left but lwazi said he'll come and check up on asanda
He came close to my neck and licked ,bite and kissed it making me feel chills on my spine
Me: luba....s..stop..
That seems to make him to do worse because he went hard on my neck I'm sure leaving a love Bite.
He's so good am loosing focus oh my God minutes later he came up to my face and kissed me so
passionately and I was now on top of him with him grabbing my butt. We later pulled out catching our
breaths
I was so flushed.
He just smiled
I attempted to get down on top of him , he just grabbed my butt tightly not wanting to let go
Woke up after a few hours and I left Luba sleeping. Went to the lounge i heard asanda laughing seated
with lwazii they were holding ice cream tubs
Them: heyy
Speaking:
Me: mommy
Her: babyy i need to hang up now. Tell lwazii and asanda that their parents are also with us i know that
they're there so they stay till we come back but they don't have to worry we'll come immediately after
we've solved this pandemic issue bye....
.. hang-up
Me:she said she's with all of our parents meaning lwazi and asa's
Lwazi: how my parents left the day before yesterday in a hurry saying they'll be back in no time
Asa: makes no sense but maybe we should not worry they will be back
We chatted about other stuff then I remembered that I was sulking before mommy called
Me: luba.. these two did not buy me an ice cream (sulking)
Lwazi: you just remembered that now. We've even finished the ice cream
They continued laughing. These guys don't understand how much I love ice cream its within my blood
but they are just laughing at me.
And me being the cry baby that I am .. tears pickled my eyes, I looked down they saw how serious i was
they stopped laughing.
.
.
I stood up and left them calling for my name went to the fridge then took a chocolate maybe it will
make me stop being and emotional wreck
I went to my room and called my brother in a video call and then did a group video call with our sister
and chatted also laughing teasing each other
Me: big bro lwazi and asa And Luba laughed at me because I wanted ice cream (my moods drops again)
My sister laughs at me
Sis: lil sis I know you love ice cream but to cry because of it hhayi no (continues to laugh)
I start tearing up
Bro: munchkin I'm sorry I deliver as many as ice cream tubs for you today you can't be crying because
of that while you have me
Me: you're for real big bro you'll deliver them (was now smilingly a baby)
Bro: yes anything for you princess don't litsen to those 3 laughing at you yezwa
Sis: bro you're making her to be spoilt she is going to trouble you this one with alot of tears to waste
