Introducing Tiro

The clothes were nice and expensive, the fabrics and tailings. She packed them and put them in her wardrobe. Silence took place... until Bandile said he was leaving and Jenny just let him leave just like that.
She was confused and out of words, she ended up buried in her books again till she dosed off.

She was woken up by a call from her mother,  she was so lonely yet her voice filled with peace and warmth, just what Jenny needed. She was just checking on her and reminded her to always pray every time things were blurry for her, ( when was the last time a chick prayed phela?) They smiled and laughed when airtime had to just spoil the moment,  they said their goodbyes and parted. She stood up from her chair to fetch water and get into her bed when she met someone outside in the kitchen, it was Philile her neighbour saying how her mate locked her outside and can't get in, it wasn't the first time Philile came to her about this, Jenny decided to go out with Philile and disguise herself as someone asking for help. When they got there Jenny knocked and could hear mourns, she knocked louder and a voice echoed,  who's there? If it's you Philile go sleep outside I'm busy here.
Jenny : No Nancy,  I can hear your Very busy I just need your help just for a sec, you'll commence with what you are doing please.
She unlocked and she budged in to find Bandile in Nancy's bed, her jaw dropped,
Oh so you eating somewhere else I see . she said and told Philile to take the things she'll use for tomorrow and pj's She, she took Nancy's room keys and went  to her room took what Bandile's family bought for her and threw them on him, she gave Nancy the ring, when she was about to walk out, she turned around and looked around, Nancy's voice was on mute, she turned and walked out, Bandile was so scared, he didn't know what to do, he Layed there. Jenny left Nancy's keys on the counter, when she got to her room she was quiet and Layed Philile few blankets and told her that there's chicken rice in the fridge if she was hungry, she declined and bother went to sleep,  Jenny was just not able to put one and one together,  she slept.
She was woken up by Philile who made her breakfast,  she was the sweetest girl ever, she wondered when was the last time she was made breakfast in bed, she went to brush her teeth and came back and ate. Philile thanked her for what she did,
Jenny: well we both gained Philile,  I was going to help you out and at the end I ended up helping myself, so it's ok, we just have to call your parents and and to the reception and report what happened.
They agreed and went to fix themselves and go to school, it was the first time Jenny eye lined her eye lids with a thick black colour, it suited her and wore her boyfriend blazer paired with torn jeans and timbers. She just couldn't carry on without doing nothing, they went to school to ask if there was a possibility for her to get her own room as her partner locks her out. She filled some papers and they went to grab drinks at Waterfall Mall. They decided to chill there and not go home early. It was still morning and this time next music was jazzy

Jenny's started to think deeply, and the unexpected happened, tears flowed like it was just something. Their orders came and she just wanted a jam jar, she drank and decided to go home, lady work her shades and walked out of the mall, they met a guy who was offering to take them home, but we're not in the mood,  but he insisted, he introduced himself as Tiro, Jenny wanted to sit at the back but he hurried to open the front passenger seat for her, she hesitated and saw Philile smiling and got in, she put on her seat belt and looked outside, her mind was roaming around in different places until, Tiro touched her hand,
Jenny: Sorry, I have a lot on my mind, what were you saying?
Tiro: Well your friend told me your name, what seems to be troubling you Jenny?  Since you're so quiet.
Jenny smiled a bit and told him that it was nothing she can't handle.
She started to take over from Philile by directing Tiro,  since it was 12 noon, she asked Philile to take all her stuff and move them in her room since Nancy and both of them aren't talking to each other. Tiro wanted to know why and Philile told him how Jenny saved her from such trouble and how kind she is to let her stay in her small room till her room is sorted. As they entered Tiro wanted to see for himself which Philile agreed and the security guard let him in.
When they arrived,  Tiro went with Jenny instead of Philile and she looked at her like (WTF), she unlocked and got in, Tiro looked from the kitchen how neat her room was and how she had less stuff but just her books, Jenny asked him to come in as soon as she opened the windows. Tiro sat down on the desk chair, she offered him something to drink,  Tea, Coffee, Roiboos, Espresso, Wine or even juice, he laughed and Jenny was serious,
Tiro: Are you serious?
Jenny : Yes I am.
Tiro: Espresso please.
Jenny : With Rusks, biscuits or Muffins?
Tiro: Yoh! Mos You're a Café, *laughs*, biscuits please.
She played DukeSoul's album softly and went to the kitchen, she came back with a tray with all things including hot milk.
He thanked her and Philile arrived with her things, she took of her Timbers and wore her slippers, she made space in her cupboard and wardrobe to make space for Philile's things. After they were done Tiro wanted to speak to Jenny privately, Philile went out with the tray and left them alone,
Tiro: Thank you for a lovely breakfast, my company I work in is offering internships to college students,  it's a management businesses dealing with cars and all, we need executives to promote and to financial work, are you interested that's if you are studying financial management or business management? 
Jenny : I've been trying to find work since the school is about to close for holidays, mind if I just print it out for you?  I didn't pass well in high school but in college is better, mind if I just give you my latest results and statement for now and I'll give you my results as soon as they are out?
Tiro : No problem, I think you should hang on to your cv for now, I'd like your numbers first and we'll take it from there.
Jenny : I hope you not looking for what I'm thinking of?
Tiro : Well you're not in a good condition to think about that! But I'm not, I saw you as fit for such position.
They exchanged numbers and walked him to his Audi A4 and walked back.
Philile was excited for her as if he's Jenny's new boyfriend.
She ignored her and just kept things to herself.
Days passed by living with Philile in her room when there was a vacant space and Philile moved in to it, she later thanked Jenny by buying her a coffee machine as she her parents were loaded, Jenny personally went to thank her and that she knows where she is every time she wanted to talk, she stayed in another block. Time passed and exams came and went too, she received flowers from the security guards at the gate and there was a letter,

"After the exams, I'll be waiting for you, 
Either the day, I'd be watching you like I am now."
T.

After the letter she smiled and looked outside, and saw nothing, she went back in to put the flowers in water and went back to find Tiro waiting for her at the gate. They hugged and he offered to take her to college, he dropped her off and asked if he can have dinner with her at his place some other time which Jenny told him after her exams. He left and she went in.
