My Melody

Chapter 3

I've been getting into the groove of school. Juggling classes, group assignments and working part time was brutal, but I got through my second semester with passing grades might I  add. It was good for the most part. I think my only issue was dealing with my roommate. She can be a handful at times. Very loud and hyper, but she means well. It could be worse. Nicki and Casey were paired and let's just say Casey is wildn with her new found freedom. Lots of "social interactions ". Every time I'd come back to the dorm I would see a sock on the door knob and a pissed off Nicki. She has spent many days and nights in my room. We were all sitting around reading our school books when the silence was broken.

"You know I have no problem with people trying to get off, but when it starts to affect others there is a problem." Nicki states outta nowhere. Both Aubree and I look up at Nicki giving her our undivided attention.

"BUT SHE IS PUSHING IT!!" She exclaims.

"Is it really that bad?"Aubree asked.

"YOU TELL ME!!
Morning, noon, and night she's in there with someone. She's a slut!"

"I wouldn't take it that far,"I exclaim.

"Oh you wouldn't, huh?"

"In no time shes gained a reputation, and now her scavengers are all over the place harassing me. I shouldn't be associated with that because we share a room. She's driving me fucking nuts." Nicki states looking annoyed.

I knew Nicolette was pissed when she resorted to cursing and I knew I had to help reach a resolution. If not I think she was going to snap on Casey.

"I think you should file a complaint."
She shot me a look.
"I know, I know." I say putting my hands up in a mock surrender. "I know you don't want to come off as a snitch, but you either gonna sleep in the halls or your room. It's up to you?" I shrug.

With that Nicki got up and headed out the room, and we looked at each other then quickly followed. I went to keep her calm Aubree  only wants to come and be entertained. As we headed to Carmen's  door she was just coming out. She looked so nice like she was going out on a date. She didn't have her hair in braids for once. Carmen had it laid flat and wore a red draped neck tie shoulder drawstring side dress it accentuate her body that we all were envious of.

"Yikes, I don't think we should be bothering her right now." I whisper grabbing Nicki's upper arm.

"Yeah you can just stay with us again." Aubree smiles.

"No I won't."

"Whats  one more night?"I add.

"Well y'all didn't come to just sit at my door." She says snapping us out of our little conversation in her hallway. "What's going on?" She asked starting to look impatient. We all looked at each other and Nicki went on to explain the issue. She cut the story down as to not take up too much of Carmen's time with an occasional whore or slut thrown in. Carmen being the diplomatic woman she is listened and checking her about her language that is.

"OK I get where you're coming from, but watch your words." she says.

"Oh I'm sorry I'm not allowed to speak the truth?" Nicki asked as she spins around  slowly towards me making a WTF face. I bit back a smile.

"Casey has been doing this for quite some time,and I've been patient,but she's pushing it. It's blowing back on me hard." She said annoyed..

"Listen, I will file a complaint on your behalf. She has broken a few of the rules and she will be dealt with accordingly. I will get back to you by the end of the week."

Deep sighs could be heard around the room collectively.

As we turned to leave, Carmen called out, "Nicolette!"
