"WAKE UP! Wake up, wake up, wake up. Waaakkkke upppp! It's the one and only, hot and spicy, super deluxe combo, the record-breaking and the record-making Supersonic DJ up early in the morning! It's Monday morning, and you don't want to be late for class. So wipe the crust from yo eyes and the slob from your mouth. It's time to wake up!"

She always started her morning show with her ode to Spike Lee's School Daze movie. She was too young to know much about the movie, but her mother made her watch it about a dozen times before heading off to college and she grew to love it. Minus the licking the brand and licking stupid-ass dudes' heads and tasting Jheri curl juice. People did that back in the eighties? What a time.

Her mother was young when she had her, only fifteen, so they grew up together. Her mother was her best friend. Her mother did not get to go away to college, she barely made it out of high school raising her. Her mother wanted her to pledge a different sorority, only because she was not familiar with them all, and had never heard of MAX. Yet, once she told her mother about MAX her mother was all in and helped her raise the money needed to pledge.

Her mother was her world, so she had to make her proud by doing well in college and landing a cool job. Maybe back home in St. Louis, but she was not afraid of branching out either.

If she had a boyfriend, she could relocate wherever he was.

She groaned and focused on doing her radio show. Why was she suddenly boy crazy? She had gone the previous two years not thirsty over boys. Well, the exception being Kenyon Barnes. That boy was worthy of all her thirst, her hunger pains, her left kidney, and her right eye. She would be blind, cripple, and crazy for that boy. It was a shame he was that gorgeous but a pile of shit. He was the type of pretty boy who knew he was fine and used his looks to take advantage of as many girls as he could.

He could have taken advantage of her.

She would have given up the V-card to him with no fuss. Why was he not into her when he was into practically every single girl on campus, White, Black, Hispanic, Asian? She had seen him with them all. For her, she thought there was a chance asking him to be her date to the Black n Gold ball. She had never been so humiliated in her life.

"Naw girl, you're a little young for me," he told her in front of several of his frat brothers.

Young? She was a freshman, eighteen, he was in whatever year he was at the time and twenty-one. How was that too young? Her friends told her later he meant "young acting." That was even more offensive. How was she young acting?

His loss. She was glad she did not get with him. Come to find out, the MAXs hated Kenyon from a prior mess, and that would have hurt her chances of becoming a MAX. She heard it was fighting one of the girls. Like hitting her or something. What a waste.

Besides Kenyon, no one else could touch him in the looks department. There were lots of cuties, but no one that she was ga-ga over like him. Except for the hottie from SIU-E. He had not come back to any of their parties, and she was at all of them trying to shoot her shot. She may have to take the ninety-minute drive or so to hit up one of their parties. SIU-E was thirty minutes from her hometown of St. Louis, so she knew their parties were lit.

After she finished her two-hour show, which she recorded for Instagram Live, she answered questions from fans, commented on their pages, and posted some selfies of her clowning around. She had a nice IG following of over ten thousand plus. She was not just ISU famous, or locally famous, she had a major following that she continued to build with great content. The key was to be real and reply to her followers and engage. She had more friends on social media than she did in real life.

She checked her DMs, they were loaded with people trying to hit on her. Men and women. She was flattered. If she got down like that, there were lots of hot girls trying to get with her. Maybe she should. It was 2021, time to live a little.
