I woke up to find myself in the hospital with the principal and it was the same hospital ayanda was at and the principal was relieved that I was okay and I wanted to see ayanda and the nurse showed me where her bed was and we went there it wasn't far from mine and when I saw her alive and well I jumped to hug her and kissed her on her cheeks and smiled
"Oh zandile don't make a fuss and please I need to breathe don't squeeze me to death" she said sarcastically so
"I'm soo glad you're awake my frienemy " I said while laughing in tears of joy
" well did you think you'd get rid of me that easily well I don't think so zandile" she said while smiling and then we both laughed
Ayanda's mom came and greeted us and we greeted back and then she explained that Ayanda's dad just passed away and she called ayanda without thinking that she's at school and that this could distract her and it did and she apologized for all the drama that took place and also assured me that whatever that had happened to ayanda it was never my fault and that I should stop blaming myself for it and then I went a head and hugged ayanda's mom and also hugged ayanda giving them my condolences regarding their loss and they both cried and we all felt bad about it.
Then the doctor checked me and said I was fine just that I need to stop stressing too much and so since I could see that ayanda was doing good and nothing was my fault I stopped blaming myself and then I let everything pass. The same day I got discharged as well as ayanda and we both went our separate ways and then when I arrived home my sisters hugged me and I hugged them back and somehow I felt happy that my family loves me in a way.
The following day I went to school and even though I had some relief and got into class to the biggest shock of my life and what I saw shocked me. I entered in class and my boyfriend was literally kissing ayanda saying that he should've dated her instead of me cause I'm an evil witch and I'm responsible for her state and even ayanda was playing along and said
"Oh yes baby I had told you that she ain't good for you she literally poisoned me I almost died but luckily I fought it and here I am I'm alive" she said while pretending to cry
My heart was in disbelief that my one and only boyfriend betrayed me and worse I had developed feelings for him yet he believed every word ayanda spoke about me knowing the truth that I didn't poison her but instead she collapsed because of her loss. And tears filled my eyes and my classmates were behind me saying
" she deserves it she's a murderer"
"Yeah she should even be in prison right now "
"She deserves more than being cheated on"
"She's the worst and ayanda saw what we couldn't see in her"
And the more they spoke the more my heart got shattered in pieces and then I shouted
" Lindo how could you do this to me" I cried and he just stared at me then kissed ayanda and they both came close to me
"Maybe if you didn't try to harm ayanda we would still be an item and one thing about me I don't date criminals" he said while looking at me with disgust and at that moment I felt the worst pain I could ever imagine and it was the first time feeling pain and betrayal and there was ayanda smiling and taking advantage of the situation while knowing what the truth is and that I never did anything to harm her.
" ayanda why don't you tell Lindo the truth that we both know instead of lying like this" I said while crying.
And ayanda just came close to me and pushed me hard that I even fell down and she said to me " oh zandy you deserve all this treatment and also you've always treated me this badly we both know that and you painted me badly to the whole school, now the truth has finally been exposed and now whatever you had planned against me it won't work anymore " she said while pretending to cry and my classmates said
"Oh she's right all along we thought you were the good one but now we see who's the real snake"
"Yeah and we should all vote for her to leave this school "
"Yeah and strike to the principal for our safety cause she might come for us also"
And while they were speaking I shouted
"Shout up! Shout up all of you ! You all think I'm guilty right? Fine then go and protest about me to the principal and let's see what's gonna happen and what she'll say to all of you" I said while tears were flowing in my eyes and then I turned to look at ayanda and Lindo
" you two you'll both regret what you've just caused especially you Lindo cause one thing about me I don't take betrayal lightly and so if you think I'll let you both get away with this then you are both mistaken I can even charge you for defamation of character cause ayanda knows very well that I am innocent , just that I won't discuss her personal matters but what I can do is to report this matter to the principal" I said while wiping my tears and my classmates said
" oh zandile so you wanna blackmail the principal to take your side it ain't gonna work"
"Yeah it will never work so just apologize to ayanda I'm sure she'll forgive you"
" she doesn't even deserve forgiveness this one"
And I just listened to them and as I was about to walk back home my class teacher called me " zandile don't go, I've heard what happened in class I'll address the matter before any lessons continue so let's go" she said and I went back to class with her and the moment we got there my classmates became rebellious and shouted " we can't study with a criminal! Justice must be servers!" And they began to throw things at me and me and the teacher we both ran away to the principals office and when we got there I fainted.
