Saved By The Bell
Sheep: You are in the shit Hugo
Hugo: What? Aren't we going to run together?
Sheep: I have a ticket, my God!
Hugo: Sheep, what kind of friend are you huh?
Sheep: All right, all right, I'll go with you, okay? Just feels weird for someone who does have a ticket, I mean, what am I running for?
Hugo: Just follow me man, Kraaifontein station is around the corner, when the train stops we jump out and run straight down to the next carriage, do you hear me?
Sheep: On the first day of school and so many exercises
Hugo: Stop complaining it will be fine
Hugo peeks over their seat and quickly jumps back to his seat again...
Hugo: The guards is almost here Sheep!
Hugo started praying right then and there, Sheep could hear what he was praying. . .
Hugo: Come Kraaifontein come, shit! please come Kraaifontein come...
While he still hoped another two train guards comes from the opposite side which is close to them, they hear the men asking "Tickets, tickets"
Hugo: Oh my God (face in hands)
Sheep: Relax man
Hugo was shaking in his pants and sat like that until the two train guards arrived at them. It was an old man and a young lady. The old man speaks first…
Old man: Tickets, tickets
Hugo immediately began to look in his bag, almost frantically examining himself, but the old man did not fall for it, Sheep naturally showed his ticket with ease. The old man then raised his voice...
Old man: What are you still searching your bag for? One can see that you have no train ticket on you
Hugo froze, clapped his hand in front of his head and said…
Hugo: Sir, I think I forgot my ticket at home
Young Lady: Young man, what did you do with your father's money? Do you smoke marijuana?
Hugo: No aunty, I really forgot my monthly ticket at home
In the meantime, the train stops at Kraaifontein station, the people swarmed in and it soon becomes packed. The old man pays little attention to the people and continues with his work...
Old man: Ah ha! Don't watch the people, keep your eyes on me brother, what I'm going to do with you is, I'm going to take you to the holding shell then I'll call your father
It's enough for Hugo to just stand there and piss.
Young lady: Less marijuana smoking
Hugo: I don't smoke marijuana, auntie
Young lady: Now what did you do with your ticket? And by the way, I'm not your auntie, am I married to your uncle?
Sheep coughs and wanted to laugh very badly.
Old man: It's not a joke, you young lads think this train is a circus, I don't have time for playing games, now let's see who is good enough to help you, help your friend here man, we don't have all day
Sheep: Sorry sir, I only have my ticket
Young lady: You shouldn't hang out with him, man, he's bad news, he's going to put you in to the deepest shit one day
Old man: Now what are we going to do? Let's quickly hear from the others around here... (looks around him, meanwhile the train is already moving) any person who can help this young man? Any one?
It seemed no one wanted to help, for a moment...
Old man: Well, there you have it...
And suddenly a school girl comes out with the same uniform as Hugo and Sheep, she got on at Kraaifontein station. Her hair was in this style, a fringe that was glued flat to the front of her head with gel and combed to the left, her hair were tide in a pony tail. She is a coloured lady, a white skin like that of a white person. Her school mate rushes after her to stop her, she is indeed a white girl, a chubby blonde with freckles on her face. She tries to persuade her girlfriend...
Estelle: No! Don't, he wanted to eat his money so leave him
The coloured girl just ignored her partner and went up to the old man and gave R8.50 and sat down again...
Old man: Aren't you going to say thank you?
Young Lady: See! A young girl had to pay for you, you should be ashamed!
The guards then continued with their work while Hugo shyly put his ticket away and sat down. The two friends, Hugo and Sheep, had few words as many stared at them. The train arrives at Stikland station, the station where West Cliff High school children got off. It was pretty much 8:15. Their school starts at about 08:30. Hugo and Sheep hurriedly started to walk from Bellville station when they realized that the fringe girl and the chubby Blonde were walking right in front of them...
Sheep: Look there Hugo, there's that girl who bailed you out, go and approach her man, and at least thank her
Hugo: For what?
Sheep: Be a gentleman and ask her how you can pay her back, that's all, steal her heart man
Hugo: Go shit yourself man, I know how to pay her, a piece of my sausage, that's how I can pay her back
Sheep was still laughing when the blonde turned to them...
Estelle: Listen here you two, Stacy won't tell you this now but she is my friend (Stacy tries to stop her)
Stacy: Leave them man!
Estelle: No Stacy, someone has to tell them because a person can't be that bad, can you boys? How can you walk and eat your father's money like that, shame on you man! Do you know she had to use her lunch money to pay the... (hand gesture)'s ticket? You are weak and a sorry excuse of person to be alive!
She wanted to turn around but Sheep stood by his friend...
Sheep: Sorry oh fatty...
Estelle: Excuse me!
Sheep: What? Are you thin then? Anyway, haven't you heard? He forgot his ticket at home, what don't you understand huh? And what's your girlfriend's name again? Stasoft?
Stacy: I'll slap you, let your mucus knots a tie around your neck, do you hear me? My name's Stacy
Hugo was laughing but when Stacy glared at him he swallowed his laughter...
Hugo: Sorry
Mumbles Hugo…
Estelle: Open up your mouth don't mumble
Sheep used to shave his head bald, it was his hair style...
Estelle: And lollypop? You'll think twice before calling people names again, do you hear me
And suddenly she stood in front of Sheep and gave him one push, he fell on his behind, Hugo couldn't help this time but had to burst out laughing...
Estelle: And you? (giving him a fake back hand shot, pretending to hit Hugo)
Hugo ducks quickly…
Hugo: Whoaaaa! Girl? I didn't do anything!
Estelle: Come on Stacy, let's walk we already late
Sheep has a smile on his face and makes a growling sound like a dog...
Estelle and Stacy had already turned to walk…
Sheep: I like it when a girl is so fiesty rrrrrrrr!
Hugo: They're going to beat your ass one day
Hugo helped his friend up and from there on they walked. Looking at their watch, they saw that they would be late and started jogging. At one of the streets they saw the girls…
Sheep: Lets take a different path then them bro, lets be quick, so they don't see us (laughs softly) we'll arrive at school before them you'll see
Hugo: Right bra!
So they chose other paths and jogged faster, hoping to get to school before the two. Finally, they arrived at the school, a teacher at the school gate asks...
Sir: It's the first day at school and you're already five minutes late?
Sheep: Train was late sir (gasping for their breaths)
The two stood and gasped for breath as they stood with their hands on their knees , but Hugo looked up and said surprisingly...
Hugo: Sheep?
Sheep: Yes buddy?
Hugo: The bloody women are already at school
Sheep: What? Don't talk shit man!
Stacy and Estelle stood there on the school porch and mockingly waving at them...
Sheep: The audacity
Hugo: Question is, how did they get here before us? They walked then didn't they?
Sir: Are you going to come in or do you want to just stand there, come, I want to close the gate
The school bell has already rung, so the learners have already entered the school hall. It's the first day of the year, an old tradition of the school, all pupils first have to go to the school hall.
Sheep: Come on Hugo
The two were in a hurry and were almost among the last to go into the hall. Before they went in Sheep says to Hugo
Sheep: Hope they put us together in one class this time
Hugo: I really hope so too
