Today I woke up feeling angry and sad at the same time, I got better as soon as I saw my friend but I still didn’t know how I was going to face Thapelo. At lunch time Tumi and I were chilling, eating and talking.
Me: Friend I have so much to tell you but I don’t know where to start
Tumi: Start where it all starts
Me: Well first of all you and I are going to the movies this Saturday with Ashley, if that’s okay with you
Tumi: Wait... who is Ashley?
I told Tumi everything about Ashley
Tumi: Friend I want him
Me: [Laughing] You’ll have him on Saturday, if you play your cards right
Tumi: I can’t wait to be Mrs Ashley
Me: Dude slow down, you haven’t even met the guy
Tumi: He sounds like my future husband, anyway, what else did you want to tell me?
I told Tumi the whole Thapelo story
Tumi: Damn, what a pig!
Me: I know right, am I stupid for still wanting to be with him?
Tumi: To be honest, yes
Me: You and Ashley don’t understand, let’s just drop it
Before Tumi could say anything, some girl called Nthabeleng came to join us, she is also in grade 11 but we aren’t in the same class, most people don’t like her at all, she is so rude and thinks that she is the best thing to happen to the world
Nthabeleng: Hello
Me: Hello
Tumi didn’t respond
Nthabeleng: Okay Nosipho let me get straight to the point, I didn’t come here to eat lunch with y’all, I just came to warn you to stay away from my man
Tumi: Excuse me!?
Nthabeleng: I’m not talking to you, is your name Nosipho?
Tumi: Well just when I thought you have reached your limit of being stupid then boom you become more stupid
Nthabeleng: Who are you calling stupid you s^#*
Tumi: It takes one s^#* to see another
I was just sitting there in silence thinking, while Nthabeleng and Tumi exchanged words, I love Thapelo and I don’t want to lose him but I won’t allow him and his bimbos to walk all over my head especially not after what he did, suddenly I thought about Ashley’s words
Me: Tumi let it go she’s not even worth it, she and her shitty man deserve each other
Nthabeleng: Listen if I ever hear people tell me about you and Thapelo, you are going to see a whole new crazy side of me
Me: You are telling the wrong person honey, your man is the one who chases every skirt he sees, you should be making threats to him, if you don’t mind I actually want to keep my meal inside, I don’t want to throw up so please get out of my sight because you disgust me
Nthabeleng: Don’t say I didn’t warn you
Me: Girl bye!
Tumi: Bye Felicia
I was so mad, I didn’t even want to see Thapelo
Tumi: Friend don’t let her get to you, she’s just a jealous mean girl
Me: I don’t give a flying f*&~ about that girl and Thapelo, I still love him and still want to be with him but I won’t allow him to treat me like trash, if he changes his ways I might get back with him but for now I’m done
Tumi: Good, they deserve each other
Me: Exactly, thanks for having my back
Tumi: You know you are my bestie, I will always have your back
After school I saw Nthabeleng walking with Thapelo and he was carrying her bag for her, when he saw me he gave Nthabeleng back her bag but I kept talking to Tumi laughing my lungs out pretending as if I wasn’t bothered but inside I was hurt, sad, angry but I wasn’t gonna show that jerk that he hurt me so bad, so I kept talking to Tumi
Me: Friend I really can’t wait for you to meet Ash, he’s so cool
Tumi: Can we fast forward to Saturday please, my underwear is already wet
Me: [Laughing] Oh Gosh! I Give up on you
Tumi: I hope he likes me too
Me: He will, he would be a fool not to like you
Tumi: I have to look hot
Me: We have to
Tumi: So, what’s going to happen between you and Thapelo?
Me: Thapelo who? Who is that?
Tumi: [Laughing] Nosi I will see you tomorrow
Me: Bye friend
When I got home before I could even unlock the door my phone rang and it was Thapelo, I ignored the call and went inside, he kept blowing my phone until I answered
Me: What do you want?
Thapelo: Is that how you talk to your boyfriend?
Me: Do you even know the meaning of boyfriend?
Thapelo: Listen Nosi I’m sorry about what happened yesterday
What the hell!?
Thapelo: I didn’t mean to insult you like that, I was just angry at the fact that you accused me of cheating
Me: I don’t care if I accused you of cheating or not, I didn’t deserve all those insults and to be honest you have been a shitty boyfriend, just go back to Nthabeleng and leave me the hell alone
Thapelo: Who said I was dating Nthabeleng? she’s my ex
Me: Well not according to her, she came to me during lunch to warn me to stay away from you
Thapelo: She’s crazy, she’s just my friend and my ex
Me: Well I don’t care if she is your ex, friend, friend with benefits, sister, I don’t care
Thapelo: Please don’t be like that, you know I love you
Me: Bye, I won’t listen to your bull
Thapelo: Well you are still my girl and I’m going to prove it to you that I love you
Me: Whatever
I hung up. Later I got a call from Ashley
Me: Hello
Ashley: Hey beautiful, how are you? I hope your day was better than yesterday
Me: I’m good, my day was better thanks and thanks for being such a wonderful friend when I needed one yesterday and I can’t wait for Saturday
Ashley: Same here, even though I wish it would be just the two of us
Me: Well sorry that won’t happen
Ashley: It’s fine, I’ve made peace with that
Me: I’m glad you have, what are you doing?
Ashley: I’m just chilling, thinking about our future
Me: [Laughing] Your future and who?
Ashley: Mine and yours
Me: [Laughing] When are you going to give up?
Ashley: Are you giving in yet?
Me: I’m not even close to giving in
Ashley: Well I aint giving up then
Me: Well good luck Mr
Ashley: Thanks, I’m going to need a lot of luck on my side, this girl I’m dealing with is stubborn, I have never met anyone like her before
Me: [Blushing] Goodnight
Why was I blushing?
Ashley: Goodnight, take care of yourself
Me: Thanks, you too
Surprisingly after the call I was still thinking about Thapelo’s call and the possibilities of giving Ashley a chance, I’m more confused than ever now, do I give Thapelo another chance because I’m impressed that he is willing to fight for our relationship, I mean that must mean he loves me and doesn’t want to lose me or do I give this amazing, charming, kind, gentleman Ashley a chance? damn! Why does love have to be so complicated.
