“Leti did you put my lunchbox in my school” busy checking around like she dropped something from my telling from my side my little sister is so cute with her curled hair and big brown eyes.

I always get angry when people compliment her comparing me to her because I know she is cute

” Yeah I did getting out of the roundavel holding a brush” going near her.

” Come here let me brush your hair .Are you done brushing your teeths ” I looked at her getting no response.

“Zodwa I am talking to you” half shouting ” yeah I am done you are going to hurt my eardrums I swear you like yelling at me “.

” I don’t like it when I am asking and don’t get any response” I throw the brush on top of my bed and closed the door ” Zodwa let’s go I don’t want to get late” checking if I have my pen inside my schoolbag.

Zodwa came half running ” I opened the gate ” our gate is a fence of wire and some steels so you have to use some energy to open the gate finally it is open it didn’t turn out to be munch difficulty today.

As we walked out of the gate Zodwa holds my hand so tight with her both hands she is squeezing my hand she does this every time she is scared I wonder what’s wrong.

When I look forward fewer steps from us is my aunt with her 6 friends wearing like Thembi Mtshali while she was acting in the soapie called sgud snays. She is chewing a Chappies like those ladies who plays cards under the tree after school.

I would lie if I said her outfit doesn’t suit her it looks revishing on her yhaa I might say. Older people in our village they always say ‘ umthakathi umbona nge ngani imusaba ‘ ( children are always scared of witches) maybe she ia a witch.

” Hey girls walking to school it’s such a…..” I interrupted her before she could finish cause I know what she wants to say ‘ it’s such a pity while your father has a car’.

” Morning” I was already pissed off. Here she comes near us Zodwa stands behind me ” why are you scared of me little Ntombizodwa I am your aunt you should be running to me and give me a hug.

She normally knows how to ruin someone’s moods so early in the morning. I grabbed Zodwa’s hand and we left for when Zodwa realised we are from her she started to be her normal self.

Walking to school was nice I dropped Zodwa to her primary school it was near my school .

When I walked inside the school gates I was welcomed by my two school best friends standing where they usually stand we had over to the class school .

School was nice , boring and also annoying as usual.
