State Of Mind (Stud4Stud)

Chantelle POV

I woke up to my head pounding. I sat up holding my head in my hands, trying to understand why I was hurting. Memories of the girl from the night before flashed through my mind. I look around to see that I was in my apartment, so my question is, how did I end up back here? Was it a dream?

I get off the bed and walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I noticed the time and realized I was late for class - again. I swear I'm always in a hurry. I look at myself in the mirror. My hair is too crazy to leave out or put in a bun, so I ended up tying it all back. I ran out the door but noticed Venus passed out on the couch. Was it not a dream?

I walked up to her attempting to wake her up, "Yo! Venus! Wake the fuck up, don't you got class right now?" She shooed me away. I tried waking her up again but I gave up eventually. I went to grab my car keys, but they were not there. "I don't got time for this mane." I said to myself while pacing around the apartment, looking for my keys. I made my way to the car to see if I left them there.

I let out a sigh of relief when I spotted them in the car. I sat in the seat and started the car. As I looked in the mirror, I noticed a body passed out in the backseat. I was so scared that I screamed till it felt like the windows were going to shatter. The girl jumped up out of her sleep, "Yo! What!" She yelled.

It was the girl from before.

I threw my keys at her and yelled, "Fuck you doing here?!" I kept throwing things at her trying to get her to leave. "Chill! Stop throwing shit at me!" She yelled trying to catch everything I was throwing at her. "You was lit as hell bruh! I offered to drive you home!" She yelled trying to get me to stop.

"And? What that gotta do wid you being here??" I ask while holding up a jar, getting ready to throw it at her. "You won't taking the car keys and you won't letting me inside. I wasn't bouta take yo car home so I just slept here." She replied trying to calm us both down.

"Oh." I turn around in my seat, now feeling bad for throwing all those things at her. "My bad." I looked at her through the driver mirror. "You want me to drop you off at your place?" I asked her as she nodded. She gave me directions to her place, but other than that, the drive was filled with an uncomfortable, awkward silence.

"Soooo..what yo name is?" The girl asked me in an attempt to break the silence. "Chantelle, you?"

"Ayanna. Ou take a left at that sign." She replied whilst just looking at me through the mirror. "Hm nice name. Hollup how long you been going to this university?" I asked her, genuinely curious.

"This my second year here..lemme guess you a freshman?" The question had me shocked. "How you knew?" I turned my head to face her.

"You stay running 'round the school like you a chicken with they head cut off." She chuckled. "Ahh shut upp! This school shit mad hard." I replied in defense. "Yeen lyin babygirl." She laughed while gently holding both her hands up. I don't know why, but the way she called me babygirl was mad attractive. Shit, maybe it's because she just woke up.

"Aye Chantelle." She got up closer behind me. "Yo back up, yo breath stank!" I yelled back, trying not to be too disrespectful. "Damn okay, is like that?" She chuckled, lying back in her seat. "Mhm is like that ma." I replied, noticing her getting uncomfortable when I said that. Hm, cute.

"I was wondering if you tryna go out for lunch? Is on me." She asked me, a little nervous.

"Mmm I mean I don't really knoww." I said teasing her, she actually looked a little sad when I said that though. "Shoot I've already slept in your car before, might as well get to know each other.." She said whilst mumbling at the end of her sentence. "Girl I was playing wid you, I ain't never gon pass on free food. What I look like? Rich?" I laughed as I brought the car to a stop. She chuckled, "Bet. I appreciate you for the ride, see you later?" "Fasho." I replied as she closed the car door and made her way down the street. She asked me to stop here, but I don't see any houses or apartments around here. Weird.
