I bumped Saul and the other gangstas by the Square and gave the thugs a hug. He was like, “Homes.” And I was like, “My brother.” He had much more gel in than me. But I’m scared to use more, ‘coz my skin’s lank sensitive and it makes my acne act up.
He’s got new jeans, but he had his same Oakley sweatshirt on. And he said he was getting Timberlands, but he didn’t have them on, so I’m sure he hasn’t got them yet.
Straight afterwards, Lee-Ann saw me outside Piatto and gave me this quick “Hello Adam” as we walked past each other. So fast that she took me by surprise. I just, I was like talking to Joel, so I just kept on walking and pretended not to hear her.
I didn’t turn around until we got to the doors of the mall. Then I dropped my water bottle and as I turned around to pick it up, I checked it was Lee Ann. She had her tight, stonewashed jeans on, and a pink Roxy T-shirt. She’s so hot now that her braces are out.
She was with Sarah and Mimi and Moon and they all saw me looking around while I picked up the water bottle. That wouldn’t have been so bad, but as I was standing up again, someone opened the door and like cracked me on my dome.
I had to walk, like twenty metres with my head fuckin’ throbbing, until I got round that first corner. There by Sportscene? All the way from those glass doors until we got to Sportscene before I could rub my head. I was with Joel and Tom and they fully saw me moer my head on the door, so we were all, like, canning ourselves the whole way till we got round the corner.
Then we just, like, collapse on the floor laughing. I was rubbing my head and laughing and crying at the same time. It was even bleeding a little. Then! Then Lee Ann and them come round the corner while we like lying there crying.
We just sort of sit up, like we just waiting for someone., And she’s like, “Are you guys also going to movies?” and we were like, ja and she says, what you gonna check, so I say, Be Cool and she says us too.
So we end up going together!
We come down the escalators together right at 7.45 and everyone’s there. And they all check us out. Saul was there at the bottom and he was fully checking at me. I was standing on the same step as Lee-Ann and I saw him checking to see if we were holding hands. No, we weren’t, but she put her hand on my shoulder and said, “I’m just going to the toilet quick!”
I said “Sure, I’ll wait for you here.” Then I went and got two tickets on my SK card. Mom gave me R100 for the night, so I had enough. I just got in the special Discovery members queue, so I had two tickets by the time she got back. It was H1 and H2, so we were sitting on the aisle.
Joel was like, “And my ticket, bru?” as I came past, but I went like this with my eyebrows and just walked past, straight to Lee-Ann, just as she got back.
Then I put my arm around her and said, “D’you want some popcorn?” and like ushered her towards the sweets section, right past Saul. He was fully giving me the eye, but I just went like this. Like lifted my chin quick to say howzit as we walked past.
I heard Joel going “Adam!” all squeaky under his breath behind me, so I quickly turned around and just pointed at Lee-Ann with my eyes all big.
He was like, “Ah, jeez, man.” But I’m sure he understood.
Lee Ann turned around to check what was going on, but I just put my arm around her again. Like all decisive. “Come, let’s go.”
Everyone was checking us out the whole time we were in the queue, but I just ignored them and asked her what subjects she was doing this year.
I got two Cokes and a popcorn and just managed to afford it. Then, like, as we finished at the salt stand our hands touched a bit and I just grabbed hers.
We walked in holding hands, and everyone was checking us out.
My head was throbbing the whole time, but I didn’t rub it once.
