"How was your June break?"Calvin asked Natasha

They were at the library catching up.

"Oh it was not bad at all, hey. Same old, my mom and I went to Durban for a gathering and it was all awkward, between my mom & Pabi. The only good thing was the food and my bro Cee-Jay."She smiled

"Pabi is your stepmom?"He asked

"Yeahh, she's cool but the problem is my mom doesn't trust her at all."Natasha shook her head

"Mother instincts."Calvin chuckled

"Tell me about it, but how were things on your side?"She asked

"Great, different without my dad, but good. I missed you a lot though."He said holding her hand

Natasha blushed so much inside. She enjoyed the feeling but gently pulled away, Calvin was good company and all but she didn't want to catch feelings quick like she did with Shawn. He was still thotting out there.

"Lol I missed you too, kinda."She smiled making him raise his eyebrows

"Kinda? Girrl..."He trailed off placing a hand on his chest

Natasha burst out laughing.

"Okay, I did a little-lot bit."She stuck her tongue

"Okay, I see you. Keep playing with me."He smiled taking out his work making her laugh

They started on their work.

"Chile aren't you ready for prom?"Natasha asked Sizwe over the phone

"Nat, I've beeeen. But I don't have a date unfortunately."He rolled his eyes

"Thats awful."She said

"Yeah, I mean my mom saved up all that money to get my tux and the rest of my outfit and all. I'd really hate to let it all go to waste."He sighed and there was silence for a while

"Wait, you can be my date?!"He exclaimed

"Meee? Girl I'm only 16."She said

"17 in a few months time, I mean hello. Look take this as a blessing, you'll be having a Matric Dance with your bestie, how amazing?"He asked

"Ughh, Sizwe this is all so last minute. Things like these need planning and time, where will I get a dress, make-up artist and hair stylist all in two weeks?"She asked him

"Girrl, your mom has a boutique and she could always make plans for a makeup artist and hair stylist. Pleaseeee just do this for me, I'm your bestieee."He whined

"Okay, okay. I'll see what I can do."She rolled her eyes

Sizwe then screamed into the phone making her immediately place it away from her poor ears.

"Are you done?"She asked making him squeal again, this time he was jumping on the bed

"Sizwe you better stop all that screaming in my house, before I take out my belt and hit some sense into you."His mother warned him

"I'm sorry mama."He apologised

"Oh my gosh, bitch thank you sooo much. I really owe you one."He whispered

"Ohh you really do, love you though."She rolled her eyes

"Love you so much more."He stuck his tongue out

"Bye babe, I'll see you at school."She said

"Byeeee."Cordell sang making Natasha shake her head
