Two people walk out of a building and into a story

It was the annual Valentine’s Day Ball at an arts school in a far away town. Tiki and Tshalo were best friends and were dates at the ball. The tickets were expensive for a school pupil but it was worth it.  Valentine’s Day Ball was the best event in the school’s calendar. Everyone who attended had to be formally dressed. A delicious three course set menu was served, beautiful decor and awards were given while love songs were played in the background.

Tiki’s dress was so beautiful; she would have looked like a princess on that evening. While doing her hair, nails and make-up, Tiki’s roommate in hostel decided to invite a boy into their room who needed to have his hair braided. Boys were not allowed in girls’ side and vice versa, this spelt TROUBLE for the girls. While arguing about the matter, a little birdie told the matron about the incident in Tiki’s room. Poor girls were caught, with the boy. They were not allowed to go to the ball that night.

Tiki’s heart was shattered. Still dressed in her gown, Tshalo called her name in the corridor so they can leave for the ball. Shocked to see her in a gown, he was furious that his date could not go to the ball with him. Looking out of the window, poor Tiki broke into tears when she saw her date, her best friend walked out of hostel with another girl around his arm, Guluva.  Tiki made a promise to herself that for the next years of her highschool life, she will never attend a Valentine’s Day ball with anyone.
