In Zabalaza everyone knew everyone ,until a new family arrived and they looked and seemed very rich and it was strange why they came to a small dirty and dusty village like Zabalaza.They lived just down the dusty road from Zinande’s house.

This was the Khubheka family. Mr and Mrs Khubeka and their three children, two boys they looked just about Zinande’s age and a seven year old girl her name was Naomi she looked very pretty .

Zinande saw the family unpacking while she passed by their house on her way back from the nearby shop.She bumped into the pretty little Noam who smiled and shouted her name out to Zinande with a smile and asked who Zinande was.Just as Zinande was about to answer , a tall and dark boy with dimples and a neat hair cut interrupted them and shouted the little girl’s name in anger.

“Sorry that she disturbed you” said the boy with a smile filled with dimples and pure white teeth to Zinande who was still puzzled and looking at how the boy looked soo rich and handsome .Seeing that this good-looking boy was talking to her ,she became shy and quickly turned her back from the siblings and rushed off.”Wait I didn’t mean to shout at you my name is Samkelo,”shouted the boy to Zinande who was walking way too fast to even hear him speak.

Zinande reached home ,tried to catch her breath as she was walking way too fast,running away from the handsome boy.She was miss” know it all “but when it came to boys she was clueless and that didn’t even bother her until to this moment.

She thought of how the boy looked,how his muscles showed through his tight expensive t-shirt and how he smiled with the dimples showing off.With such thought in her mind Zinande felt a strange sensation in her body ,she wondered if she had a crush in the nameless strange new neighbor.

Zinande didn’t see the need for a phone unless she had to do her school work,but that day she wished she had a phone and was able to tell Sandy about the boy she meet and how handsome he looked,smell and sounded.All night she re-lived that moment with the boy.

She woke up earlier that morning and did her usual house chores before she when went to school.Zinande walked alone to school and that day she didn’t mind and she didn’t rush like she usually did .She walked slowly thinking about the name less strange neighbor.

As soon as she reached school she immediately looked for Sandy to tell her about her crush. She walked up to Sandy looking excited and very bright ,that made Sandy drop all she was doing to tend to her friend who seemed to be beaming with happiness.

They grabbed themselves a corner at the class room and she excitedly told Sandy everything. Sandy was amazed to hear Zinande talk about boys,it the first time in their friendship Zinande liked a boy soo much that she literally explained every part of his handsome face with soo much details and interest.

Sandy couldn’t wait to hear the boy’s name and a lot more, but unfortunately that was all Zinande could offer ,she told her she walked away and couldn’t actually here anything the boy said to her.”You are soo soo strange chomie,why did you run away from such a hottie?,” Sandy said teasing and laughing at her friend who is now covering her face as she realised she messed up by walking away.

Well all wasn’t lost because Zinande knew where they stayed and she knew the pretty little girl’s name too.
