Chapter 21: Net Voor Ons Held in ‘n Zombie Verander

Tiaan’s mother asks him if he’d spent the entire day at band practice. He can tell she isn’t a fan of the whole music thing. He takes a shower and while he’s in there he hums the tune of the song they’d been working on: Make Lemonade. A feeling of sadness overcomes Tiaan but he has no reason to feel sad. On another note, Zane and Liezl have plans to go to the movies the following afternoon. Zane had asked her again while Bongi was painting a yellow lemon with a smiley face on her drum kit. Tiaan wishes he could be more like Zane because Zane is popular with girls. He wishes he had Zane’s confidence and guts. He starts singing in the shower and his father knocks on the door to check if he’s okay. He thinks it might be time he gets a girlfriend. He thinks he might be going mad; the thought came to him so unexpectedly. He thinks about what it means to like someone romantically but can’t quite explain it to himself nor understand.
