I turn the volume up to 15 and set my led lights to a warm brownish yellow color. I had my dad install a wall to my side of the room that would block out Neicy's side before I even met her, just in case. I love my privacy and when I don't have it, I get annoyed. The wall was approved by the dean and it feels just like a bedroom, with a door at the end of the wall facing the bathroom.
I have a key that locks it from the outside as well. Neicy decided she wanted to live like a slug then that would forever be on her. She never knows the schedule of the monthly dorm check ups either so when they come around, she's getting her ass handed to her on a silver platter.
I lit my single wicked Iced dragonfruit tea candle and set it on my dresser. So far I have 10 candles which I can reuse at least twice. There's no reason to light them everyday since the smell lasts for about a week. The second time I light it, I keep it in the bathroom. I got up and started organizing my room, folding up my clothes and picking out my outfits I was going to wear for the next three days.
I also sharpened pencils, took out colored highlighters, pens, post it notes and some notebooks and papers. I take my studying seriously and color coding everything makes it more manageable and easier to understand.
Getting up to throw my empty tin away, I noticed that I haven't talked to my dad in over 24 hours. I washed my hands, hand sanitized them and threw two mints in my mouth before I went back in my room and facetimed him. "Hey baby girl" I smiled when I saw him. I was always happy to hear his voice. "Daddy I missed you. I got so much to tell you" I sat my phone upright and I got one of the notebooks and a pink and purple pen.
I started to outline the title of a particular section in my study guide. "What happened? You know I gots to get the tea" He chuckled and I playfully rolled my eyes at his attempt to keep up with the trends. "So firstly, you know Ray right?" He nodded, "Well tell me why she tried to be funny by whispering in my ear in front of Neicy" He furrowed his eyebrow for a bit before it clicked in his head, "You talkin bout the one with the big head?" I laughed out loud.
"Yeah daddy" "Why would she be doing allat knowing she still dealing with that girl and yall roommates?" I shrugged "That's what I'm saying. Like, you could have texted me or anything" "What did she even whisper to you about?" "She said she wanted me to meet her in a hall to ask me something" "Extra, doing the most!" We both laughed at him raising his voice in a high pitched tone.
An hour and some change had gone by when there was a knock on the door. I checked the time and it was 3:10. I popped in some minty fresh gum and went to open the door. "Hey love" she smiled her pretty smile at me and I almost fell to my knees right then and there. "Hey! Come in" I stepped aside and closed the door when she came. I notice two walmart bags in her hand and then I looked at her face which was pointing downwards to the floor.
"Neicy is dirty, don't mind her underwear please. What goes on outside of my room is none of my business when it comes to her, okay?" I pleaded with her to not look at me some type of way. "You good love, it's dope how they let you install this separating wall though" I nodded, "Yeah, my daddy always got me."
"Who that?" I heard him ask, "It's my friend that I met today. We're going to study together since we're both taking classes involving the same field" ''Lemme see her" I groan and try to reason that everybody doesn't want to be seen but she cuts me off.
"Nah it's all good, wassup pops" I turned the phone over to her and prayed that daddy wouldn't be extra. "I like her. Fuck Ray" "I- daddy!" I turn the phone back over to me "You know what, I think Imma call you later! Okay bye love you! Muah muah muah!" I quickly hang up the phone and slowly turn back towards her. "Sorry about him" She looks at me and nods. "You mind if I put the snacks in your room?" I wave my hand "Of course not, walk right in" I sound slow.
