On The Way To The First Day OF School
It was around 05:30 when Benjamin Gert Koos Hansen woke his eighteen-year-old son Hugo. Uncle Ben as many know him is about 195cm tall, and is gray already. But Hugo is a lazy child and sleeps with his legs open, drool is streaming out of his mouth. His father holds his nose and complains
Uncle Ben: Sis, the room smells of farts! I'm not going in here, hell no!
Uncle Ben immediately fetches a bucket to pour water, his wife asks him
Lensie: What are you doing now Benjamin?
Uncle Ben: Wait, you'll see now
Lensie: Oh no man, leave the poor child alone
Uncle Ben: No! He needs to wash his bum, stop covering for him, he's stinky ass!
He filled the bucket and took it to Hugo's room. The fart smell only made him even more pist off and with that he threw the water full in Hugo's face. Hugo almost choked and fell off the bed.
Hugo: What are you doing Pa?
Uncle Ben: Go and wash your dirty ass!
He kicks Hugo under his bum and what can Hugo do but just obey and go wash. While Hugo is in the bathroom, he keeps looking in the mirror, sigh, he hasn't had a beard yet and wishes it was there. He still took his father's blade and shaved his thin baby moustache, armpits as well as his pubic hairs. When he finished washing he hurried to his room, closed the door. He realized then that his father had opened the window as well as the curtain. He can only shake his head. He looks at the clock on the wall and sees that it is now 06:10 and goes to his uniform hanging against his cupboard and says to himself "I should have made sure I failed, stupid me" that's exactly how he felt. He hates going to school and prefers Play Station over school. He puts on his white shirt and grey trousers, tied his blue, red, yellow and white striped tie around his neck and puts on his grey school shoes. The next thing he does is put his white sneakers in the bag, hoping that if he can put them on, the school will chase him home. After he has finished dressing he goes to the kitchen where his bowl of porridge is waiting for him, his father's is also there but he is not there. His mother tells him to sit down. He sat down, prayed and ate. In their house they know exactly who the father's bowl of porridge is, it's always the most and the biggest bowl, so he knows what his is. When he finished eating, he looked around briefly, didn't see his father, took quick big bites from his father's bowl, grabbed his bag and ran out. He hoped then that he took the right bag because he and his father bags looks the same and both of their bags are next to each other. He is so guilty that he keeps jogging. It wasn't long before he arrived at Wellington train station. It was about 7:15 when he got there. He wanted to wait at the station but there were train guards at the gate, and he had already spent all his money on snacks and sweets and now he has to steal train. He just had to wait for his friend Shepard . At 07:20 Sheep arrives at the station and suddenly an argument develops.
Hugo: Sheep ! You know then I have to steal train and you're getting here now only ? Have you forgotten?! The train leaves at 07:30 and I still have to run around to the station and dodge the train guards, what the hell is wrong with you?
Sheep : And you? Why did you use your monthly train ticket's money in the first place? Huh? Its your own fault, can a person be so stupid?
Hugo: I'm a smoker, and so are you! Later on you'll ask, er, give a fag, I thought of us that's why I did that man! I go out of my way for us and you?
Sheep : But where are those cigarettes now? And then? In a day's time a whole packet is empty Hugo!
Hugo: So?
Sheep : And now what?
Hugo: Get you on the platform Sheep I don't have time for this , see now? Now I have to run
Hugo started to run wide, Sheep just shakes his head. Hugo arrives at the end of the platform from where their train is standing. Hugo and Sheep met at a point ...
Hugo: Let's get on the train mate, before the train guards sees me
Sheep : Now come
Further on they got in to the train and sat down in first class. At 07:30 the train started to ride and Hugo and Sheep started a conversation that usually keeps them busy until Bellville train station, an hour's ride.
Hugo: Bra? Here we go again, right? A new year and our last year at the damn school huh?
Sheep: Last year of train stealing too?
Hugo can only laugh...
Hugo: Listen, I'm so happy for this year, it's the first time that I'm looking forward to it although I'm thinking about starting the year to be sent home (chuckle)
Sheep: When are you going to change huh? Other people are looking forward to what you will do when the year is over, like me, I am going to study further and you? Do you even have a goal?
Hugo: Stay at home for at least a year, for the last few years, we didn't have it easy at school bro, I feel we deserve the rest, but you can study if you want to, that's your thing, look, I'm not saying you can't study, you can always study but relax brother, go on a holiday it was five years of hell bro, the teachers took us for asses for five full years come on Sheep man, and what are you going to study anyway? To look after sheeps?
Sheep: I'm not going to argue with you, and why the hell is your bag so full huh?
Hugo: Just my sneakers man
But he also looks at the bag and realizes that the bag is slightly bigger, so how did he miss it?
Sheep: Doesn't just look like sneakers to me, look…
Hugo: Will now
He then looked in his bag and with shock he stared in there...
Sheep: And now?
Hugo: I'm dead meat brother...
Sheep: What now man?
Hugo: Look!
Sheep looks inside the bag and sees a pair of oversize safety boots, a helmet, overalls and a pair of gloves. Sheep explodes with laughter and almost wants to lie down, his stomach is being held...
Sheep: What are you doing with overalls and a pair of safeties and a helmet, are you serious?
Hugo starts to laugh a little, so much did Sheep laugh that he made him laugh ...
Hugo: Is my father's bag brother, I'm dead tonight!
Sheep: (laughs) That's why you're my friend, you make me laugh bro, what now? See your father's lunch box is also in there, are you going to take the chance to eat his bread?
Hugo: Do I have a choice? I'm not going to starve, never!
Sheep: I don't know about you, but my father is not like your father, he might just say it's fine my child, it was a misunderstanding and it would have been more, but your father, I know uncle Ben, he's going to make a big story about it, the fact is, I know him just like that
Hugo: My brother, do you know what kind of shit I'm in? In my bag suppose to be white sneakers and if I'm right, let's say he also took my bag without looking, he's going to find the sneakers in the bag, which means that I'm incredibly in my ass this evening
Sheep: Shame bro (chuckle) so that means, you just have to go to school?
Hugo: Yeah, but feel to stay out man, I'll ride the damn train all day
Sheep: You mean steal
Hugo: Whatever man, apart from everything how was your the holidays? Did you look after some sheep?
Sheep: Buzz off man, I was in Okiep, had sex with a couple of girls
Hugo: Sheep? Any guy knows that's shit talking
Sheep: Huh? And how do you know?
Hugo: Like for example, what does a vagina look like?
Sheep: Er… why do you want to know?
Hugo: (laughs) See? I told you, you're lying
Sheep: Yeah, yeah I am also tired of being a damn virgin man, this year is going to be my year no more Mr. Virgin
Hugo enjoyed himself and left a stinking fart the way he laughed.
Hugo: So you didn't do anything Sheep?
Sheep: Talking about me? What did you do on the holidays?
Hugo: Drank bra, we drank liquor the whole summer holidays
Sheep: Does your father knows about it?
Hugo: No why? Do you always have to drag him into our conversation? (Sheep laughs) Besides, you missed out bra
Sheep: How so?
Hugo: We had a lot of parties bra, the one party, right? Was freaken brilliant, the party was loaded with women only, and guess what?
Sheep: What?
Hugo: Just guess man
Sheep: Just talk man! What am I a fortune teller?
Hugo: Boring bra, boring, al right, I'll tell you, your cherry? Mandy was there (smiles)
Sheep: And?
Hugo: She touched my leg
Sheep: That's nothing man!
Hugo: Hello! (laughs) she touched my leg and you're not going to do anything?
Sheep: Did you guys have sex?
Hugo: I'm under age...
Sheep: You're eighteen
Hugo: I hate sex
Sheep: (laughs) But you're talking about me?
Hugo: I don't like sex, sex is shit
Sheep: Bullshit man! You want to but you don't know how, even if you're drunk you still don't know, sis! You will remain a virgin
Hugo gets up with excitement...
Hugo: You too! You're going to be a virgin for the rest of your life man right back in your face (look to the left and see two train guards far down in that carriage, checking tickets) Hell!
Immediately Hugo falls on his seat...
Sheep: What now!
Sheep asked in a whisper…
Hugo: Two train guards are on their way brother
Sheep: Shit!
