Tshidi and Tshego are walking to school.

“So I’ve decided to start standing up for myself to Neli.” Tshidi says.

“Good for you.” Tshego says looking down.

“I know you like acting but right now I can see you are not acting.What’s wrong??” Tshidi asks her.

“Sandile ran away with Otlile’s phone.” Tshego says amidst tears.

“What?Why??” Tshidi says.

“I don’t know,ok?Right now if I tell Otli,he’ll be angry with me and our relationship will end just like that.” Tshego says.

“Friend,calm down.You didn’t know your brother would do that..All you need to do is tell Otlile the truth.The sooner the better.” Tshidi says.

“Better said than done.” Tshego says.

Otlile and Oratile are walking to school.

“I’m thinking of entering the Mr and Miss Lekala competition.” Oratile tells Otlile.

“Are you for real??” Otlile asks in disbelief.

“Yep.I mean I have the perfect body for it,as for clothes they are like food to me.” Oratile complements himself.

“Ok,Mr Perfect Body.Go do your thing,as for is we’ll seat and watch.” Otlile says.

They hear the school bell and run to the gates.

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

At the assembly,M’aam Mokoena is addressing the learners.

“As you all know,I’m the one in charge of the event that’s coming up.So the list of girls who entered is complete while we are short of 5 boys.I know modelling is not a familiar term to boys but trust me you’ll earn something by entering.So the event will be this Friday.All of those who are not participating pay R3 if they want to wear casual clothes on the day but if they don’t want to pay,they can come wearing their full school uniform.Don’t even think of fooling us because there’ll be a register of people who paid and if you’re found wearing casual clothes but you have not paid, you’ll be sent back home.That’s all.”

Its After School.Tshidi breaths then walks to Neli.

“I need to talk to you Neli.” Tshidi says.

“What do you want to say,coward!!” Neli says.

“There’s something you need to know.I’m not a remote controller which whatever buttorn you press,will do as you want.My name is Matshidiso Nkadimeng.And I’m not letting anyone put me down.Not even some spoilt, insecure girl.” Tshidi says.

Neli looked at her suprised.
