Tshidi and Tshego are walking to school when Neli approaches them.

“Hi,Neli.” Tshidi greets her.

“Oww,so now you can even greet me.Don’t think for a second that we’re fine just because you won that stupid contest.” Neli says.

“Neli,I don’t care what you do.Just know that what happened, happened we can’t undo it.To think I trusted your little apology,I guess a leopard never changes it’s spots.” Tshidi says.

“Aargh!” Neli leaves with her friends.

“Way to go,babes.” Tshego says and bumps fists with Tshidi.

*********************************

Otlile and Oratile are talking.

“You know,I just don’t know how to act towards mom.” Otlile says.

“What do you mean?” Oratile asks.

“After what she did shooting your mom,it’s just hard forgiving her.Sometimes I wish she wasn’t my mom.I don’t know how to feel.” Otlile says.

“Bro,this person is your mom.You need to sit down with her,talk to her and tell her about how you feel.Ask her questions,come on.” Oratile says.

“My life is a mess right now, it’s Olerato,my mom and Tshego isn’t even speaking to me.” Otlile says.

“How about we go watch a movie after school? Don’t worry about money,I’ve got you.” Oratile says.

“I guess it’s a movie then.Thanks.”

*********************************

Mercy is with her friend Eunice at a restaurant.

“I heard about what you did at Lekala High.That’s nice.” Eunice says.

“I know,I just wanted to do something for the community,plus I wanted to raise Tshidi’s confidence.She’s been low lately.” Mercy says.

“Teenagers will always be like that.Anyways I’ve found someone.” Eunice says.

“Ohh,I’m happy for you.Tell me everything.”

“So his name is David Ndlovu,we met at Durban when I had gone to see my nieces.We met at the beach and I think I like him.” Eunice says.

“Congratulations.Let’s drink to that.”

Otlile is sneaking into the house but finds his mom waiting for him.

“Where have you been?” Lucy asks him.

“Was watching a movie with Oratile.” Otlile answers her.

“So this is the time to come home? It’s dangerous out there, something can happen to you.You’re my only child left.” Lucy says.

“I needed a break,ok?I’m tired of staying in this house and pretending like everything is fine.You didn’t even ask me how I feel about everything that has happened.I didn’t heal from my brother’s death,I need someone to talk to,ok?So please stop being on my case.” Otlile says and goes to his room.
