In the morning Katleho got ready for school her mom suggested that he take a day off but he refused. He went to school. In class Katleho was very quiet he was actually moody. His classmate Thabang who always makes jokes in class decided to cheer him a little.

“Wee , somebody is in a bad mood today ” Thabang teased.

The whole class laughed.

“Hao , yini baba. You left your wife and kids with no food ? He continued.

” Don’t you dare say that to me or else …” Katleho was now angry.

” Or else what” Thabang laughed. ” Is it my fault that you have family problems ?” The class laughed again.

“You are weak “

“You are weak”

“A coward”

“Coward”

“Revenge yourself ” this were voices in Katleho’s ears.
Katleho stood up very fast and grabbed Thabang with his school uniform within a minute he stabbed him with a knife on the neck. Blood was everywhere. When Thabang mentioned family matters he was just joking he knew nothing about Katleho’s family issues but katleho took it seriously. Everyone gathered around . The ambulance arrived as soon as possible and Thabang survived.
