Nkosiyabo's POV
I turned around and saw the hurt in his eyes looked broken
Me:"that's not what I meant "
Thando:"then what is it that I don't deserve love don't think just because I didn't ask for an explanation that I don't want one I deserve an explanation "
Me:"you really wanna put yourself through that ?'
Thando:"it's not like anything is gonna change you kissed my girlfriend"
I just looked down clearly ashamed
Me:"look thando I'm sorry like really sorry I don't what to say it wasn't supposed to turn out like that "
Thando:"I was not supposed to find out?"
Me:"guys please can you give us some space "
They all just nodded and left us to talk
Me:"it happened once the day that I was high I kissed her only because she couldn't keep her distance I was not in my right mind yesterday I went to ask her not to tell zee then she kissed me "
Thando:"why are you bloody making it a fuss that she dosent find out you have never dated with her "
I kept quiet
Thando:"that's the thing you still don't wanna say it after what you did yesterday I don't think she's gonna look at you the same she would be really special if she sticks this one out "
Me:"I know that thando fuvcccvkkk I know that yesterday I cried "
Thando just laughed at me
Thando:"come on if you wanna lie tell me something I can believe "
Me:"I'm serious I literally cried for a girl but that's important I was just hurt"
Thando:"Can you just stop making her life hell you don't know how to love her it's either you tell her or leave her in peace I went to her yesterday and just a tip you broke she looks so broken "
Me:"I know I feel like shit ......maybe it's best I keep my distance"
Thando:"yah think?"
Sarcasm clearly painted in that question
Me:"I'm really sorry thando "
Thando:"it's okay I forgives I can't lose a friendship with you because if a girl who wasn't loyal nawe you still wrong njalo in exchange I want you to buy me the new Nike air jordan"
Me:"come on thando you got like. 15 of them how many more do you want ngeke?"
Thando:"ohh so you counting my collection?"
I just chuckled at this guy he really is obsessed with the Nike air Jordans we talked for a while till the guys came back when they saw us bro hug
Zweli let out a relieved sigh
Zweli:"oh my god I thought the group was splitting "
Me:"usss never we bros for life "
All of us :"we ride and die for each other "
Thando:"this better not happen again next time ngizokudubula"
Me:"uzobe umthanda ngempela Bo lowo"
They all laughed
Themba:"mane niyeke ukujola"
Manqoba:"that's a great idea "
We all turned and saw manqoba we fist bumped with him clearly happy that he is back he had been suspended
Manqoba:"missed me?"
Me:"not more than khanyi"
Manqoba :"sthandwa senhliziyo yam I love that girl "
Zweli:"manje icala?"
Themba:"mina skk bengithi bazokugxosha nje straight "
Manqoba:"never "
We talked and laughed it felt good to laugh with the guys after all this tension
Manqoba :"nkosi let's go to khanyi"
Me:"why to hold your candle? y'all guys just don't care if I'm there or not"
Manqoba:"nooo because khanyi also wants to see you "
I chuckled because khanyi never wants to see she's always complaining to me that i always come to her class now today she's asking for me I'm sure it's about zee
Me and manqoba went to khanyis class as soon as we entered khanyi jumped on manqoba
Khanyi:"babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
Psshhhhh they were really dramatic
She quickly got off and approached me eyes full of anger
Me:"khanyiiiiiiiiii"
She just looked at me with her eyes boring holes in me
Khanyi:"you just had to mess it up didn't you "
Me:"the hell are you talking about ?"
I pretended like I didn't know just to be sure I didnt wanna end up speaking about another thing while she meant another thing
Khanyi:"manqoba could you please give us a minute"
Manqoba just nodded his head before shrugging his arms at me he patted me on the back then went out
Khanyi:"I'm so tired of you you so selfish you knew damn well that was her best friend but what did you do nkosi you still went ahead do you know how broken she is ?"
Me:"why does everyone make it a fuss that' she is broken why on earth is she broken it's not like I liked or was planning to marry or we were dating "
Khanyi just scoffed
Khanyi:"nkosi carry on fooling yourself but do that while staying the hell away from zee I don't even want you breathing the same air as her got it "
Me:"listen I'm not manqoba and you can't tell me what to do this is my life okay and just because your relationship ain't satisfying you enough it dosent mean you should stick your nose all up in my business I didn't point zee with a gun to love me got it "
Those words felt like acid but I had to say it it's what's best for the both of us
Khanyi:"wow ....I'm done with you I tried and I failed good luck with trying to hide your love away from me or zee "
Me:"y'all just keep fooling yourselves"
Khanyi:"and why did you block her ?"
Me:"what the fuck was I gonna talk to her about her obsession?"
Khanyi just looked at me deeply clearly trying to figure me out
Me:"look khanyi I liked the girl but we different the guys won't even accept him one bit "
Khanyi:"you know what I've had enough and you made it clear that I should back off your business just don't make excuses"
I looked down to the floor clearly ashamed I had hurt my baby sis well she is more of a sister to me
I looked at khanyi one more time then I left the classroom I knew sooner or later she was going to hate me for the words I was bound to say to her had I stayed

Zenande's POV
It's been 4 weeks since the whole nkosi saga life has been so good I'm happy and content with myself I see him a lot at school but I just ignore him I've caught him staring at me once but he also just avoids my eyes at all costs wanting to make no eye contact with me I don't know if it's the guilt or what
Thando and I well we have been good friends he has been a very supporting one he kinda handled the break up pretty well we have been close friends along with khanyi although I don't usually hang out with them when I'm with eze and phiwo they also stuck through for once I thought they would choose andiswa but they didn't they have been my biggest support system
Ezenkosi and nqobizitha broke up two weeks ago when we caught nqobi In the middle of a heated kiss with some chick in grade 8 eze tried to hide the pain but inside she was dying she has been handling it very well and passively to my surprise but I know she still loves nqobi although he is a jerk and a player
Thando:"dimples"
Well I have upgraded from zee to dimples thando gave me a nickname which is dimples he says that's his favourite feature about zenande'
Me:"cheese "
Thando:"eeeuwww please stop calling me that"
Me:"come on cheeeseee"
He pretended to be angry
Thando:"anyways how are you dimples how's school "
It was already lunch break
Me:"I'm so exhausted this grade is sooooooooo hard with a capital letter for each word that I said "
Thando:"not like grade 11 bruvh I feel like quitting school "
Me:"phela wena you have something to fall back on you come from a rich family "
Thando:"I'm not gonna dispute that but nawe ntwana "
Me:"aiboo mina I'm not "
Thando:"skhokho that post you posted on IG on Sunday "
I smirked cause I knew what he was talking about ,the pics I took when we went to gateway with my cousin' me I was wearing white Nike air force.1 with puma socks white Nike biker shorts and a white redbat baggy t-shirt I looked hot ...
Me:"it wasn't that major lalela that was just a start "
Thando :"usho kanjena ?"
Me:"yesss "
We carried on talking about crazy stuff honestly dude wasnt that bad he is so crazy epic sense of humour there's never a dull moment when I'm with him
The great thing about being friends with thando is we don't dwell on his friends we talk about them randomly when their names comes up In a concern then leave it at that .we were still talking and laughing conversing about funny tik tok when nkosi entered the classroom
Nkosi:"sho "
I just nodded my head all of the sudden my mood became numb
Nkosi:" hey I've been tryna call you "
They allow us to bring our phones to school as long as they don't disturb our lessons
Thando:"sorry zishap kade ngihleli No dimples la sibhizi sixoxa ufunani "
A smile just creeped in nkosiyabo's face after thando said that
Nkosi:"timer lakho lithe sivaya sobabili namhlanje "
Thando:"uggggghhhhhhh whyyyyy I hate riding with you yin nkinga another attack "
I looked at them talking totally lost as to what they were talking about I just looked from one person to another
Thando:"I gotta go "
I stood up and gave him a hug while nkosi bore holes into my back looking at my every moment I pretended like he didn't exist ever since he came I hadn't uttered even one word
I decided to go eazy and phiwokuhle they were still at the chess match at the school hall on my way I bumped into Andile who was a very close friend of mine basically my male bestie
Andile:"bruvhh I missed you "
Me:"I missed you too "
We both hugged Andile and I have been friends since primary we are so close even went to the same high school . unfortunately he had been suspended for fighting in the school premises he came back recently
Andile:"I'm back tell me everything "
I told him everything till the bell rang for us to go to class we had been standing at the g block corridors
Me:"I'm gonna tell you later after school neh ?"
Andile just nodded and went about his business before hugging me
...................................................................................
Andile Makhanya
I am Andile Makhanya zenande's best friend we have been friends for five years now and it Is during those five years that I fell in love with it's been three years since I liked her I never wanted to tell her because I knew it would ruin our friendship especially now since she is in love with my enemy I hate nkosi with passion and now he wants to take my girl
I was just walking around the j block after I had left zenande' at her class it seems like I fall in love with her everyday .I have been suspended for 6 weeks which also made me fail the first term I was in a fight with one of nkosiyabo's friends and as usual he wasn't suspended but I was well now I'm back to finish what I started
Themba:"tf are you doing here aren't you tired ?"
Me:"me ? Tired is that what you tell yourself that I give up easily "
Themba:"ohh come on if nkosiyabo sees you here with us he is definitely going to get angry "
Me:"ohhh come on spare me your petty advice "
Themba:" don't act like you not wrong here you think you can go around stealing people's girlfriend I'm gonna fuck you up again"
Me:"I would like to see you try anyway I'm not here for you coward I came to deliver y'all a message so how about you pass it on to your friends "
Me:"stay the fuck away from her "
I left it like that cause I didn't want him to instantly know who I am talking about no doubt zee was gonna flip if she knew
I walked out of the classroom leaving him confused and boring holes on my back
The bell for break rang and I went to the guys one thing we have in common is we don't like the egos
There were four of us
Luthando
Kwazi
Samkelo
And myself Andile
Luthando:"the top Dogg"
Kwazi:"eyyy it's been so long "
Samkelo fist bumped me then the others followed
Kwazi:"manje zithini nisalwa no themba"
Me:"worse I think it's time we put our plan in action "
Samkelo:"without nkosi they are pretty much nothing "
Luthando:"they will be so weak ngikhathele mina ibona "
Me:"I agree with you there bacabanga ukuthu ibona abaphethe "
Kwazi:"that's got to end when are we putting the plan into action"
Me:"sooner than expected guys all in due time but by the end of this month it will be done "
We all smirked to ourselves I didnt mention the second reason why I'm doing this without nkosi zee will recover from this whole thing maybe then will I get a chance to confess about my feelings to her

Nkosiyabo's POV
It's been 4 weeks since the whole drama going on I have been trying to avoid zenande but that turned out to be hard at first things between me and khanyi havent been the same like before I realised that she was much more hurt than i had thought we talk randomly but we not that close like before I've been trying to give her space
The dreams have come back terribly this time I find myself in a dark space then a shadow is at the far end one minute it's facing me the next it's just walking away those dreams just scare me too much
Andile my worst enemy so far in this school came back I loathe that boy so much he's just a waste if energy he has this hidden agenda against me which is part of the reason we are always at each others throats
I went and sat with the guys
Themba :" guess who I saw ?"
No greeting nothing!!!!
Me:"Andile "
Zweli:"that pain in the ass is back"
Thando:"I thought they suspended him Kant why vele what's the deal ngaye"
Anele:"I think maybe samntshontshela intombi or something but I don't remember"
Nqobi:"whatevers it is it's annoying him and his friends mina phela angibanqeni"
Me:"I thought they expelled him the case was tight"
Ezenkosi had broke up with nqobi some weeks ago the guy finally cheated though their relationship had lasted I personally think nqobizitha was just foolish to do but maybe he was caught up in the moment I'm the last one to judge
Me:"nqobi what's up with you you handling the break up well?"
I already know he's gonna say yes but he's lying man he loves that girl but the pride is also loving him
His face changed from brave to hurt but he quickly flashed trying to pull a brave face
Nqobi:"I'm good ngeke ngincenge icheri mina she was just being dramatic"
Zweli:"wow ndoda just admit you hurting sidlule "
Nqobi:"mina hurting ? Weeeh never I'm the baddest in the game "
Themba:"come on stop lying to yourself you stuck up more than I had bargained "
Me:"told ya"
Thando :"I never though he could do it "
Nqobi:"what are y'all talking about "
Anele:"we had a bet"
