I woke up to my mom shaking me. "wake up, we gotta go so you can set up your dorm."she said. i popped up and shoed her out my room.

i sat against my headboard going on my phone for a quick minute before getting up going to my bathroom to shower.

i got out the shower going to my closet getting a simple outfit snd going back to my bathroom brushing my teeth, washing my face, and putting my hair up in a bun.

i then grabbed all of my items, suitcases, and bags going downstairs to see my mom looking a bit sad. "momma dont worry you'll see me soon." "im not gonna miss you im sad because now i have to clean and stuff." she said. i looked at her not even in disbelief because i was used to it.

i walked away grabbing my stuff going out the door with her following behind loading up my car. i then got in as my mom drove off to the airport.

We arrived at the airport where we would be saying our final goodbyes. i got out trying to at least hugging her one more time before my flight was called. but she declined it so i said goodbye again before boarding the plane.

•••

I woke up again to someone shaking me again but it was the person 5 was next to me, "sorry but the plane landed" "oh ok thank you" i stretched before standing up grabbing my stuff exiting the plane.

i quickly called an uber and they came and picked me up. i gave him the directions to UCLA and surprisingly it wasnt very far.

i got out thanking him and walked in the school. "excuse me" ivsoad trying to get the lady's attention. "ah yes you must be....Desire Moore?" i nodded. "you're dorm room number is 148, here's your key, and your roommate is going to be Michael Chong"

"wait i thought-" "yes that was the original plan but you 2 were the only ones left, im sorry" she said. "ok thats fine i guess" i took the key and headed towards my dorm room. who knows maybe he's nice.

i unlocked it to see 4 guys in the room. "uh is this room 148?" i asked stepping in. "it obviously is if you had tge key to get in" one of them said, he was brown skin and black curls. the others laughed at his comment.

"hollup- YOUR my roommate?" he said. i nodded. "ah hell nah" i heard him mumble. i walked towards the sude of the room that looked pretty empty. "um y-your on my bed" i said low.

"speak up damn" one said he was pretty tall and light skin, well all of the other 3 were lightskin. "s-sorry can y-you get up please." i said.

"yea yea whatever, good luck with..that." they got up walking out tge room. i sat my stuff on the bed along with myself laying on the bed.

"man what is wrong with you?" i heard. "what?" i asked sitting up. "you deaf?" "no but-" "then answer the damn question!" when he yelled i slightly flinched.

"scared, ole ugly ass" honestly its not the fact that im scared of him im scared of what he'll do. i dont know why i thought he'd be nice. i put my face in my palms resting.

"aye im going out with the boys since yo lame ass ruined our hang, dont mess nothing up. and with that he walked out.

i then hot up and put my bags and stuff beside my bed and decided to just take a nap.

•••

i woke up to loud noises so i looked up to see the same guy from earlier coming in laughing. he went to the bathroom turning the shower on then came back out with his shirt off.

"you coming with me" he said. "where and why" "a party because ion trust yo ass in my room alone" he literally just left me in the room though- i nodded.

im not typically an outgoing kind of person since i never really had much of a good role model. im pretty shy and stay home.

i looked through my clothes and found something that looked decent to wear too a party but i wouldnt know.

next thing i know i see michael coming out the steamy bathroom with his towel around his waist hanging dangerously low. "dont just sit there go get ready." he said. i listened and took my toiletries to the bathroom to get ready.

•••

after about 25 minutes i got out wrapping my towel around me going back out because i forgot my clothes but something else was out. "trust me i did you a favor, you were not about to embarrass me wearing what you picked out" michael said.

it was a dress that would have my back showing and i didnt want that because i  had marks and bruises and scratches on my back, stomach, and thighs. i also didnt like dress that were fitted because i didnt like showing my curves or body figure in general.

i realized was just gonna have to do it. i picked up the dress and walked back to the bathroom to finish getting ready.

•••

i finished finally doing my makeup and it didnt take long since i dont do really extra makeup looks. i walked out to see michael ready in a really nice outfit. "finally damn now come on." i grabbed my things and walked towards the door as he pushed me out.

"Like we be runnin' 'em out and never make it"
