Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“How do you feel now that we’re done with our exams?” I ask Golden who is lying on her back next to me. We’re at our favorite spot on the school soccer field. We finished writing our last paper about an hour ago and we decided to come here and catch the last glimpses of the sun before it gets colder in the day.
“I’m happy but sad at the same time.” She says and that makes me turn and look at her.
“Why would you be sad?” I ask concerned, she should be happy we can take a break from the studying for a little bit. I for one am looking forward to it; I need a break from staring at the words on my textbooks.
“I’m sad because we’re already halfway through the year. And that means you’ll be off to training soon and I’ll be off to Cape Town. We won’t see each other every day.” She says and she frowns at me her eyes sad.

“How amazing is this view?.” I say looking out the bedroom window of the air bnb we rented for the weekend. As always Zach hooked us up with an amazing place. He always finds the best accommodation. But this time he outdid himself. He found this little cottage in the middle of Magoebaskloof. We are in the lush green mountains of Limpopo. If I look hard enough I can see the Ebenezer Dam in the distance.The smell of pine is all around us, I find it oddly comforting. It’s not a smell I’m overly familiar with but I like it. I know waking up tomorrow is going to be a joy. The sky is turning orange as the sun is setting. It looks like the perfect painting. The fiery orange of the sun and the lush green of the tree tops meet in the far distance. And the little ink of the water in the distance adds an amazing texture to the view. This is incredible.I find myself amazed at the beauty that’s in South Africa, living i

21 months later Leo is coming to see me today. I haven’t seen him in over a year. We’ve becoming strangers again and I hate it. I moved to Cape Town and life changed. He stayed behind to make sure that everything is set up with Mina and Jon. He had to make sure that they are settled in boarding school. And he had to make sure that he packs up their apartment before he had to go to military school. At the same time I had moved to a new city and when school started I got hit with a reality check. There was no way I could balance school and a relationship. Everything got so overwhelming for me. I got hit with the harsh reality that I wasn’t in high school anymore. It took a moment for me to adjust to the move and the workload. I had to switch off from my life at home and concentrate on my studies. And finally when we both got on our feet, life was so different. We drifted apart, between the distance and adulting it was impossible for us to find our way back. I wanted to fix the gap a
