Two weeks pass, and Lusanda and I have gotten closer. Today is the day I take her out for movies. The school matron finally let her out today, it’s a Friday.
The night is warm, and the sky is filled with stars. I park my car, and lean against it, tapping my foot impatiently on the school pavement. It’s 6 o’clock. Lusanda has to be back to her dorm by 11.
I am wearing a denim jean, a white golf tshirt and a denim jacket thrown ontop. When I raise my head, Lusanda is walking towards me. She smiles.
She’s wearing a light denim, white tshirt and a black jacket thrown ontop, unzipped.
“Evening, malady.” I kiss her hand.
“Hey.” She whispers.
Her eyes are glued onto me. I’ve borrowed my mom’s car. I left mine at home. The car is a blue BMW.
“Nice car.”
“Thanks. Hop in.” I open the door for her.
“Thank you, sir.” She giggles and hops in
“We will do movies and food. Then I’ll bring you back here.” I tell her.
“I’m down for whatever. Even if you took me to have cow’s head, at a township. I’d ge ecstatic.” She jokes
“Oh really, now?” I laugh
“Soweto is my home.”
“And I’ve never been there. And I wouldn’t want to risk my life.”
“Its not as bad as people make it out to be. But, I also wouldn’t want you to drive there at night.” She smiles.
