Mrs Zondi: (knocking) Nelisa! Wake up my baby,you’ll be late for school.Nelisa! (opening the door) Haibo where is this child.She clearly doesn’t know who I am.
Nelisa: (sneaking in) Mom.
Mrs Zondi: Where are you coming from,Nelisa?
Nelisa: I…I…mom I was…(stuttering)
Mrs Zondi: (slapping her across the face) You were what? What do you think your father is going to say when he finds out you have not been sleeping at home?
Nelisa: I’m sorry,it won’t happen again.
Mrs Zondi: From now on,you are grounded.No friends,no cellphone.After school,you come straight home.Give me that cellphone and get out of my face before I hit you again!
It’s after school and Nelisa is at Ande’s place.
Ande: I hope I didn’t get you into trouble with your mom.
Nelisa: Can you believe she took my phone.Meaning I won’t be available for a while.
Ande: No,relax sweetheart.Just give it few days,you will see she’ll come around.
Nelisa: Does that mean you’re okay with the fact that you won’t be able to see me outside school but only at school?
Ande: No,babe.We will still be able to see each other.Come here.

Nelisa: Are you kicking me out?
Mrs Zondi: Get out.(throwing everything out and closing the door)
