The White truck
Teddy cleaned his teeth and cleansed his face right away once he woke up. Before he relocated to live in the shacks, he would typically open the window in the morning to let the fresh air in from outside. But now things changed, unless it's extremely hot outdoors, he always keeps his windows and doors closed due to the foul stench of the outside air.
He had a longing for hot porridge, so after cleaning his teeth and face, he poured the water from the saucepan and put it on the stove to boil. After the water had reached a full boil, he added the maiz meal and, five minutes later, the sugar and margarine.
After finishing, he served himself. "This is so delicious, Teddy, you're such a great cook," he exclaimed as he finished his porridge. After finishing, he proceeded to get water from the faucet while still wearing his outfit from yesterday: a white shirt, black shorts, and shoes.
He abruptly recalled the boy he had encountered on his way to the shop as he was approaching the faucet. He looked at himself and exclaimed, "Fuck!, I forgot that I was warned that I shouldn't dress up like this." He hurried to the nearby tap, a few miles away from his home, filled his bucket with water, and then headed back.
When he got there, he poured the water into the pot and placed it on the stove. His intention was to bathe so that he would go to town and buy himself some make-up with the little money he was left with. He was betting everything on that club, hoping that it was not a scam and that he would earn money.
Teddy didn't want to give it any thought since he believed that it would make him change his mind, even though he had never slept or kissed someone before.
…
Teddy filled the basin with the boiling water and began taking a bath for himself. After finishing, he lotioned his body. He enjoyed dressing up and glancing in the mirror, therefore the lack of a mirror in his house made him quite unhappy.
He changed into grey tracksuits and white sneakers after that. After finishing his bath, he went outside to discard the water. After he had finished mopping the wet floor, he took the money and his phone, secured his shanty, and left for town. Since a cab was expensive and he didn't have much money, he didn't want to make a reservation. Consequently, he made the decision to travel to town via public transportation.
Teddy searched for makeup that matched his skin tone at the beauty goods for men after he eventually arrived in the city. Asking the manager for help, he was at a loss on what to chose.
After finishing, he also purchased some inexpensive perfume for himself because he wanted to smell pleasant and clean. Teddy's lack of funds made him reluctant to spend too much time in the city. He headed home because the only money he had left was what he needed to attend the dream catcher club.
When he got home at 3 p.m., he wanted to travel to Sandton at 6 p.m.Choosing his attire for that occasion was the first thing he did. Teddy didn't know what to wear and was quite anxious. He threw all of his clothing on the bed to give them a good look, thinking maybe he would discover something nicer to wear. For five minutes, he stood with his hands on his waist.
Teddy sighed deeply. "maybe instead of wasting my money to buy food I should have starved to death and use the money to buy my self a cute outfit" ,he stated while sliding his hand to his hair. Oh, I see. I should dress a little nerdy since men adore their innocence. Teddy smirked and continued, "Maybe dressing like a nerd might help me achieve my goals
He didn't have any iron, so he went to the neighbors to borrow some, which he was lucky to get. After he finished ironing, he put some water on the stove to boil so he could take a bath. He desired to take another bath and change into attractive clothing before to his departure.
He chose black pants, black sneakers, and a huge red shirt. Then he picked up her mother's old spectacles that she used to wear while she was reading his books or Bible, and set them on the bed He picked out his shirt to iron and stated, "This look will be perfect; if they don't let me in with this look, then they don't deserve me."After he has straightened his shirt and jeans he cleaned his shoes and glasses.
The water was fully boiled. Teddy poured the water into the basin and mixed it with a little bit of cold water. And he bathed himself up. When he was done, he lotioned his body and covered himself with a towel. "Oh my goodness, I forgot about the most important thing. Why didn't I think of buying new underwear? All my underwear is worn out. "What'm I supposed to do in time like this", he said, pacing around the house while his hands were in his head.
" I should just look at my mother's underwear.", he said while walking to her mother's suitcase to open it. Thankfully, her mother had some fresh underwear that she hadn't worn out. Teddy then put on the pink one after grabbing it.
It was a little big but didn't look that bad on him; in fact, it looked perfect because Teddy had a cute body with a little bit of a ass. "Oh gosh, this is so embarrassing. I never thought that a day would come where I would wear a whole fucking panty, he said, covering himself up with his hand.
Teddy changed into black jeans and a red shirt. Tucked his shirt into his jeans and put on a belt. He then put on some socks and shoes. He didn't want to wear a jacket, therefore he was going to endure the cold night air.
He covered up the bruises on his face with cosmetics. It took him over half an hour to get it perfect.
"I can now see why girls spend so long to get ready. Taking a look at his phone, he stated, "This is a full-time job." He did look good in the makeup. It appeared so organic that it didn't seem like he was using any makeup at all.
After finishing, he put on some spectacles and grabbed a tiny black purse to hold his cash and phone. It was now 18:00 p.m. Being unfamiliar with the area, he asked for a cab.In five minutes the cab arrived and drove him there. He was beginning to feel a little uneasy because the location didn't show up on the map—just an odd name did. After two hours, it got there.
He was shocked to find that there was nobody nearby or any music playing when he arrived at the location. "Is it because I was a little late arriving? Why aren't people here?. But wait, if I am late the place is supposed to be packed with people going there unlike now. " he said,surveying his surroundings.
He was unsure of what to do because there was no building in the area that appeared to be a club." It was a big giant lie, just as I had anticipated. Fuck! I should not have believed Brian's lies in the first place. How am I supposed to return home now. He nibbled the tips of his fingernails and added, "I don't have any cash on me."
…
Five minutes later, he was approached by a tall, muscular man wearing a black suit, black spectacles, and a white t-shirt. "Are you here because of DC?" he inquired.
Teddy speaking is inaudible. (By DC, is he referring to the Dream Catcher club?)
"yes", Teddy responded.
"follow me", the man said.
Teddy followed the man without hesitation. They strolled a while, and he noticed a white truck.
When he got closer to the car,the man told him to get inside. Teddy speaking inaudiblely: Oh no, I think I'm getting kidnapped. Didn't Brian say that the club was in Sandton? Why, all of a sudden, am I getting told to get inside a white truck"
The man opened the truck's door. There were eight other boys in the truck who were about Teddy's age. Teddy noticed he wasn't alone and felt a small sense of relief.He went inside and got in. Just as the man was closing the door, he got a call.
"Yes boss, there are 8 of them. We are coming right away", he said and dropped the call. After the call was dropped, he closed the door of the car and drove to the place. Before they were allowed to enter the car, their phones were taken.
About three hours were spent driving.
The other boy enquired. "guys are you also here because of the dream catcher club"
They all answered, "yes".
The man sighed deeply. "I almost thought that I was not where I should be. Where is that man taking us right now, though? I heard that the location is in Sandton", he said.
Teddy bit the tips of his fingers and remained silent. The other guy answered back. "Let's unwind, guys. We can no longer go back and change our minds. There must be a good reason for each and every one of you to be here. So let's maintain our composure and optimism."
They were all a little relieved when they heard that guy's statements.
