So it's Monday again im getting ready for school and it's exactly 2 weeks till my birthday and im not in a rush honestly coz my momma is gonna leave me soon and to be honest im scared.
Well over the weekend I've been talking Deonte we've grown a close friendship and with the other Miller brothers they actually on there way to fetch me we going to school together. Oh and they coming for dinner on friday night to try our South African cuisines.
I completed my morning routine and got dressed and went downstairs. When I got to the kitchen i was met by mama , Deonte, Dylan and Dallas i wonder why they didn't text me. I wished them morning and sat down had my porridge I watched as they all went on to their second bowl of maize meal porridge that mama made.
"This some good porridge I have to say its better than oatmeal ms Zooloo" Dallas said
"I'm coming here every morning them Cheerios be having me hungry before lunch " Deonte said who invited his sexy ugly ass I thought to myself.
"If you saying this is nice i cant wait till you taste my food on friday what do y'all young ones say ... oooh I throw it down in the kitchen waaazaaam" every body laughed
" Nah mah dont say that in public dont embarrass me " I said
While we ate I got a facetime from granny.
"Googooo!" I said yelling all excited.
" What's good my child you leave Africa you forget your gran mah"
"Hawu we spoke last night though "
"I dont give 2 fucks bout that I said call me in the morning did you do that ? NO! " everybody sat there wide eyed as she yelled at me and her accent was becoming stronger and strong.
" I should catch the next flight there with my sjambok just to come whoop your ass .... oooooh child you making me swear .... Lord forgive me for i have sinned you give us worthless children that go to America and forget their roots. Oooooooh who are those fine young men behind you?" Talk about bipolar she was now cheesing on the camera and Dallas snatched the phone they out there damn minds thinking imma share my grandma.
They finished speaking and i asked Dallas to take my picture.
