Sino : I heard you speaking to mom this morning,I hope you didn’t mention my name.

Pretty : So that’s all you’re worried about?

Sino : Okay,mtase I’m sorry about what happened last night.Next time I will go to Yandisa’s place.

Pretty : I would appreciate that.

Sino : What happened between you and Sphelo?

Pretty : He was with his girlfriend.

Sino : I’ve always knew he can’t be trusted.I shouldn’t have listened to Sihle when he said his brother was looking for a girlfriend if I knew he would do this to you.

Pretty : By the end of this month I’m leaving.Mom said she will send me the money.

Sino : No,Pretty you can’t go back home.You have been here for only few days,what do you think people will say?

Pretty : If I knew things would be like this between us,I wouldn’t have came here.

Sino : No,Pretty you are not going anywhere.I’ll take you to the salon and then we will go shopping.Which one do you want to start with?

Pretty : So now you do have money?

Sino : Yandisa gave me some money when he was here last night.Salon or Shopping?

Pretty : Let’s go to the salon.

Sino took Pretty to Noxy’s hair salon.

Somila : Hi,Pretty.You look good today.

Pretty : Yeah,I’m fine.

Sino : Where’s your mom,Somila?

Somila : Wasn’t she outside?

Sino : No,but that’s fine.I will leave Pretty with you.Do your thing girl,you will discuss the hairstyle with her.

Pretty and Somila got well together.Pretty opened up to Somila about what happened between her and Sphelo and also told her about her sister’s behavior and attitude towards her.

Somila : Do you think Sino is bribing you not to go home or tell your mother about how she has been treating you?

Pretty : It’s obvious,she’s bribing me.

Somila : Let’s say you change your mind and decide to stay,do you think her boyfriend will stop coming to her place?

Pretty : You know Somi I don’t know what to do,whether to go back home or stick around.I don’t know.

Simila : If you ask me,going back home is not a good idea.Stick around and look for a job.Don’t let your sister get to you.

Pretty : I really need a job.I can’t live like this.

Somila : If you need help with anything,talk to me girl I will try and help you.

Pretty : Thanks Somi.

Sis Noxy came back with Sino and Somila volunteered going with Pretty to the mall to go shopping.On their way to the mall they got a hike from one of Somi’s friends.His name is Khanya.

Pretty and Khanya started dating and Pretty kept their relationship a secret until Sino’s boyfriend came to sleep over.

Sino : Why didn’t you tell me you have a boyfriend?

Pretty : Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted this whole time?

Sino : What I’m saying is you should have told me about him.Don’t forget you are still my responsibility.

Pretty : If I was your responsibility,Sino,I wouldn’t be roaming around the streets at night looking for places to sleep.Don’t pretend like you care about me because you don’t.

Sino : Of course I don’t.Do whatever you want with your life,I don’t care.

Sino cooked for supper and did not dish up for Pretty.

Pretty : (checking the pots) Where’s my food?

Sino : Why don’t you ask your new boyfriend to buy you a takeaway.

Pretty : So this is about me having a boyfriend?

Sino : Oh,please who care’s about that.I hope he dumps you.

Pretty took her cellphone and went to her boyfriend’s place.

Tell us : Do you think this is the perfect time for Pretty to be dating someone,especially in her current situation with her sister?
