"Girl I've been sitting here for ten minutes and you haven't looked up from your phone now I've let you sleep in my room but now I want some attention," Sevyn said causing Thea to look up and smile at her.

It was the first real smile she's given since she told Sevyn what happened at the exquisite eight party and to say the least Thea didn't let Sevyn find Kevin and beat this ass like she wanted to.

"Thea. Girl, I've been blowing you up." Simone said as she walked over to the two.

"Yeah, I've been busy," Thea said before looking back to her phone.

"OK, I'm sorry. Did I do something? Is this about the exquisite eight party?" Simone asked causing Thea to sigh.

"Just drop it, Simone."

"Thea, I'm sorry that I bailed on you last minute, but I knew Nate was..." Simone started Thea looked to Damon with a smile before moving away Sevyn stood up to greet him with a hug.

"Hey, um, did something happen at the exquisite eight party the other night?" Simone asked the two causing Damon and Sevyn to look at each other.

"That's... That's not really our place to say." Sevyn told her.

"So, something did happen?"

"I think that President Allen's ready to start, so..." Damon said he looked at Sevyn before walking over to a table.

"Thank you all for being here and volunteering for Bringston's service week and our annual "Make your match" mentoring event. The young people you're mentoring will experience what academic and athletic excellence feels like here at Bringston."

"Each of you has the opportunity to show your teen mentees the HBCU experience and potentially alter their life path. And I may be biased, but you're also in good hands with this year's event organizer Ms. Keisha McCalla." He said causing everyone to applaud.

"Thank you. All right, y'all received instructions via email, so, you know what to do. Group leaders, please come to the welcome desk and pick up your packets, and remember, y'all, these kids are wild, so, please just keep them on lock." Keisha said with a laugh.

Simone and Sevyn stood at the help desk getting their assignments when they saw Keisha and her father they started to walk closer to them but Keisha push the two back.

"Oh!" Sevyn grunted.

"Please save me from my overly invested father," Keisha said to them as they both fixed their bags on their shoulders.

"Do tell," Simone said.

"Nothing worth discussing. But... are you OK then?" Keisha asked Simone.

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" Simone asked.

One thing about Simone she wore her emotions on her face, you could tell if something was wrong with her.

"Your aura is off. It's Damon, isn't it?" Keisha guessed.
