Sinenhlanhla's POV:
Last night was so much worse than when I was choked by my bully, I was happy last night because my boyfriend had been certain to win.

My boyfriend might not be perfect, I might not be perfect because I smoke since my mom left us and Justin is a druggie but he was in rehab and I think he should go back. We are two broken souls who can never be perfect but he loves me and I love him, I've never been this happy in my entire existence.

It's been two weeks since I met him on the first day of school but it's like I've known him my whole life and he's always been my best friend because he doesn't look at me disgustingly but he admires my body so much like the traces I have of his fingers on my scars isn't what I expected.

The next morning, Sinenhlanhla showered around 3 AM because she couldn't sleep, then she woke up again at 7 AM and was woken up by Musa and Justin and Dominic but before they went to school and they made her a fruit salad with orange juice. She was wearing her sweatpants with her T-shirt on.

"No, I want you to make pancakes for me." Sinenhlanhla pouted

"No what is the special word," Justin said

"Ugh fine, please can you," Sinenhlanhla said

"Okay, how about after the game I promised to come for dinner, I can make my pancakes for you especially and you can help," Justin said

"The three of us will watch a movie either way," Dominic said

"Uncle Justin!" Sithelo shouted running up to him

Justin picked him up and put him on his shoulders and he sighed with a smile.

"Hey buddy, now I won't let you on my shoulders again when you call me that." Justin sighed

"Nope, you will be my uncle soon," Sithelo said tapping him on the head like a drum

"No, we are only in grade 12 and it's your brother." Justin laughed

"No," Sithelo said

"Okay let us get you down and then take your bag and lunchbox off the counter and go put it in the boot of the car," Justin said my

"Yours or my sister's?" Sithelo asked

"No mine, do you want your sister to kill me!" Justin shouted in a playful voice

"No, otherwise I would never talk to her again," Sithelo said

"Gigi please help me up," Sinenhlanhla said

"Okay sure," Hlengiwe said supporting her

She had struggled to pick her up but Dominic helped her so she could kiss Justin on his lips.

"You're so cute with my brother." Sinenhlanhla smiled

"Well, he's a cute one," Justin said

"Are you okay? Let's sit you down now." Dominic said putting her in the wheelchair

"Okay we will leave and I will bring you something tonight, also Dom here is giving his panda up for you," Justin said rubbing his shoulders

"Yeah, I am," Dominic said

Justin picked Sithelo up from his shoulders to put him down and then he ran to get his bag and lunchbox to put in the boot.

"This boy doesn't even give me a hug," Sinenhlanhla said

"Ay buddy, come back here and give your sister a hug otherwise I won't take you," Justin shouted

"I will see you later," Hlengiwe said
