When we got to the mall we decided to eat first. All we seemed to do was eat but yeah we decided to eat seafood and to say it was weird to eat raw fish is an understatement.Y'all have to understand, I'm a black person and we don't normally do raw meat unless you grew up in an elite group.It wasn't so bad to eat that kind of food, it's definitely not something you fall in love with at first taste or sight. But it seemed as if Khalil enjoyed watching my face scrunch up in disgust whenever I ate. He kept on laughing and even took a video of me. He even imitated me, jackass!After eating we went to the cinema where we spent another thirty minutes fighting about which movie to watch. He wanted to watch some romantic movie but I wasn't for it. I wanted to watch Bad Boys For Life, I mean how many years have we been waiting for that one!?As we finally came to an agreement, the person at the till seemed amused w

Day 1It's only been one day. One day! And I'm ready to run away. Here I was thinking I would be on vacation with my family. I imagined sweet paradise and peace full of laughs and happy tears, but noooooo. This family can't just let me enjoy a bit of rest!I got here yesterday after 16:00pm and went to sleep right away, I was too tired and not really hungry because I'm still not used to flights. They make me anxious and grumpy and extra tired. To say they were very happy to see me would be an understatement, they literally jumped on me and now I've got a limping leg.It's 11:00 am and they woke me up at 06:00 am. I thought I only had to do that when I was going to school not when I have to visit my family. Makes me extra Frumpy. All they wanted was breakfast as if they couldn't do it themselves. Lazy People!As I'm still complaining my mom walks into the kitchen with a grin on a fac

Day 3Honestly, I'm about to lose my mind!!! I've been here for only three days, two nights, fifty-six hours, three thousand three hundred and sixty seconds. But who's counting not me. I can't take it anymore all the criticism and comments about my education or how I dress or how I talk. Why can't they understand that this is my life! Not theirs.Why did mom have to invite the rest of the family over, it wasn't necessary I told her but she most definitely had to disagree with me. She said it's important to have a family gathering whenever the whole family is around. Why couldn't we just talk on the phone instead of seeing each other!All they do is talk about their neighbours and their children. Trying to compare us to each other. How the hell can you compare a nineteen-year-old to a thirteen-year-old! There is literally a six-year difference between t

It's half eight in the night and Karabo just went to bed, I guess his hangover is really high. No pun intended. Right now I'm sitting in my room scrolling through Instagram really bored and not tired at all. Sleep finally calls me to its land and as I'm about to go I hear the kitchen light being lit, it's probably Karabo who woke up hungry. Nothing new there. I hear a crash of plates and cussing in a native language. "What the fuck! Why the hell are these plates put right here so close to the door. Mara u khou itan K!" The voice hissed, and I immediately recognise it. What is she doing back here so early, she didn't even spend a whole week at home? I get out of my be

Rina is looking at me with wide eyes right now. Why would she look at me like that? Not so long ago she was laughing at what Bo was saying, perhaps it was the last joke he made about kissing...oh shit I forgot to tell her we kissed last night, she probably just remembered. Liar, you just thought since she didn't remember you wouldn't have to remind her.That's not it. But it is. I just hope she's not too mad at me. As I start thinking of an excuse she just smiles at me. She doesn't look pissed at all. But knowing Rina she's probably plotting a way to get back at me.I did take advantage of the fact that she was drunk but I did want to kiss her. Have been wanting to kiss her ever since the first time we kissed but never had an opening until yesterday.She said she needed a distraction and I felt as if I gave her it. A pretty good one but according to her words it was 'great' if she decides to fight me over this I t
