Tshego is walking with Otlile to school.She notices that something is not ok with him.
“Maybe I should just stop talking since you’re not listening.What’s wrong?” Tshego asks him.
“Sorry for not listening to you.I’m just stressed out.” Otlile says.
“What happened?” Tshego says worried.
“Look.” Otlile shows her his broken phone.
“OMG!!What happened?” Tshego asks him.
“Some men came and destroyed my phone on my way to the police station.I couldn’t even see their faces,they blindfolded me.I think they are Olerato’s kidnappers.” Otlile says.
“Your life is filled with so much drama.Is there anything I can do to help??” Tshego says.
“Can you fix my phone?” Otlile asks.
“I can’t but my brother,Sandile can.” Tshego says.
“Your drop-out brother?How?” Otlile asks.
“There’s no need to call him a drop-out.Anyways,he’s very good with fixing phones,laptops,TVs.It’s what he does for a living so I think he can help you.” Tshego says.
“I guess it’s worth a try then,I’ll come to your house tomorrow since it’s Saturday.The sooner,the better.”
