Ande: Entle,there’s something that I need to tell you.But just promise,you’re not going to freak out.

Entle: Okay,my love,what is it?

Ande: It’s about your friend,Ashanti.

Entle: Ashanti? (cellphone starts ringing) Speak of the devil.It’s Ashanti,babe.

Ande: No,no,no,don’t take it.

Entle: Why?

Ande: (also receiving a call from Leroy) Leroy.

Leroy: Remember Ashanti’s birthday I told you about? Well she’s organized a transport to the beach for tomorrow and we’re all invited.Are you coming with us?

Ande: Eish,I’m not sure…

Leroy: Come on.I’m sure it will be fun.

Ande: Listen,I’ll let you guys know if I’m coming,okay?

Leroy: Are you okay,dude? I mean you’ve been acting very strange since we went to Ashanti’s house and it’s as if you’re hiding something from.What’s up?

Ande: Nothing,bra but if it makes you feel better then it’s fine count me in.

Leroy: That’s what I wanted ot hear.See you tomorrow.

Entle: You wanted to tell me something.

Ande: No,it’s nothing.Leroy was reminding me about your friend’s birthday.

Entle: I’m glad you agreed to come with us.I thought you’d say no because I can see you and Ashanti don’t get along.

Ande: Your friend is annoying.

It’s been over a week since Nelisa was kicked out at home by her mother.Her father returns back from a business trip when he notice that Nelisa is not at home.

Mr Zondi: It’s very late but I haven’t seen Nelisa since I got here.Where is she?

Mrs Zondi: Please forgive me my husband.Nelisa isn’t home.

Mr Zondi: Yes,I can see that hence I’m asking.Where is she at this time?

Mrs Zondi: I don’t know.Nelisa and I fought and out of anger,I kicked her out.

Mr Zondi: You did what? Why didn’t you call and tell me instead of kicking her out,Nolitha? You better start praying that wherever she is,she’s okay.(dialing Nelisa’s cellphone number) Please tell me where you are right now!

Two hours later.

Mrs Zondi: Tell your father why I kicked you out of the house.

Mr Zondi: Will any of you tell me what happened while I was gone?

Mrs Zondi: Your daughter has been sneaking out and when I tried talking to her,her behaviour became worse.Even now I’m sure she was with her boyfriend.

Mr Zondi: Is this true,Nelisa?

Mrs Zondi: Tell your father about your boyfriend,Ande.Tell him.

Mr Zondi: Answer me damn it! Who is this boy and where does he live?

Nelisa: There’s no boy,ma.

Mrs Zondi: Oh? So I’m lying now?

Nelisa: That’s not what I’m saying,ma.Ande is….well Ande is a female! (blurting out)

Mr Zondi: What?

Nelisa: Yes.

Mrs Zondi: Is that your story? Show us pictures I want to see for myself.

Mr Zondi: No,no,no.You will break up with her.I want you to focus on your books and forget about dating.You’re still young for all this nonsense.

Nelisa: But I love Ande.

Mr Zondi: You love her my foot! What do you know about love? Give your mother that cellphone,I can see it’s driving you crazy.You love her.You love her what? (sucking his teeth)
