Me My professor and my roommate

Le'Lanei

Oxford, Ohio

The alarm blares loudly throughout the room making me yawn and stretch my arms out,I felt well rested and ready, grabbing my phone I turn it on and the time was 7:50, sighing I run my hand down my face, sliding out the bed I head to the bathroom where I get a bath and do my morning routine and then i get dressed in a pair of sweat pants and a crop
Top , I felt bored and not really ready for school, I had all the time to sleep but I couldn't since I only had 3 classes today

Grabbing my backpack I close my door and head to the kitchen, stepping inside the kitchen I'm greeted by Grace " Hey gracie!" I coo as I pet her head, grabbing the mini handle I push it down and food starts filling her bowl, I smile and kiss her head " I'll be back around 3 so behave baby" I walk towards the fridge, and I'm going to be honest, this dorm was more like an apartment then a dorm because the fridge had a water and ice filter, I pull open the fridge and grab my water bottle that was cold.

Entering the school I had my Starbucks coffee in one had and my schedule in another, I was lost and looking for my guide, there were people walking, laughing and screaming around the school, I was a bit overwhelmed to say at the least, ever since I was small I was antisocial when I'm around big crowds, I was deep in thought I didn't notice a girl walk up to me and tap my shoulder " Hey!" She says, my eyes snap up and I gasp " Fuck!!" I scream as I clutch my chest, she really scared me, I hope people don't do this a lot in Ohio cause this'll be the death of me for sure, " I'm sorry l" she frowns and pouts some " It's something i do a lot" I breath in and nod my head " It's fine" I say " who are you anyways cause I'm looking for my guide?!" I was beyond frustrated because not only was I going to be late but the guide is late

She sends me nervous smile " W-Well I'm the guide" she stutters while sending me a small smirk, " Hm" I hum " Well can you show me where, Mr. Qui is at for communication?" I ask while showing her my badge " Yeah sure I have him now!" She skips ahead of me, rolling my eyes I follow behind her sipping on my iced coffee.

We made it to the class and it wasn't far it was only up a flight of stairs and down the hall on the left, when we entered the whole class was staring at us and the teacher stopped and smiled at us " Hola Bueno, ven a clase, mis pookies!" He claps his hands and send me a smile, I smile, he's going to be nice I see it already " Hola Me llamo Le'Lanie!" I say my Hispanic accent rolling off of my tongue with ease, his eyes widen and his Hazel eyes glow with a sparkle

" Cuban eh?" I nod and he smiles " Well find a seat princessa!" I nod and walk towards the middle where there was no one sitting at, I pull out a notebook and a pencil, he claps and k lean forward " So we are going around and saying our names, race and favorite thing to do, oh don't forget age!" He claps and sits across his desk with his legs folded in crisscross

He went around the room and I couldn't believe how many races were in the classroom, some people didn't speak but others did, when it was my turn I smiled at everyone as they stared at me with anticipation clearing my throat " Hi I'm La'lanei Rodriguez Ranay, I'm Cuban and I'm 19 I like to sleep and play with my dog Grace" he smiles and continues on " Now that we are done let's take some notes, here on the board you will write each one in different colors" some students groan and some cuss " While y'all do this I'll introduce myself" he jumps up and my head snaps up since he dropped a big ball on the floor that had facts and pictures around it, frowning I look closer to see a picture of him and a man kissing, I knew he was gay because of his energy and demeanor.

I walked down the hall with my guide who name was Milly and she was 20, we are busy discussing what we would do for the project he gave us, on the first day and he already gave us something big to do, waving bye to Milly I enter the class this was Business, the room was a dark type of vibe but I liked it, the teacher wasn't there so I decided to head on to the front, setting my things down I pull out my computer and calculator, business was something I was interested in since I was 10, after I sold my first candy bar for $2.

Business was a big dream of mine and I wanted to fulfill since my dad told me to since I was so invested  in it since I was a little girl. The door is pushed open and my thoughts subside as I look up to met the familiar golden eyes " Ms.King?" I whisper as my face brightens up, a familiar face, she smiles at me and walks towards her desk " Welcome new students, please I don't need an introduction since I know all of y'all" she pulls out her computer and a picture of her and Kehlani pop up and my eyes travel down Kehlani dress which was short, but Kehlani face was blurred out, but I knew who it was by the body shape, she clears her throat " Ms.Le'lanei please answer my question!" , I look up and her eyes were darker then I remember and her hands were opening and closing, I clear my throat " What was the question?" My tongue darts out and licks my lips

Her eyes follow my lips and she groans " I asked How is your business going to make money? If you were to own one?" She says while walking closer towards me, my eyes travel down to her pants and back up " Um Product sales lead to revenue, revenue leads to cash!" I say with an little pause ,

She nods and leans down " Pay attention" she says, her eyes showed no emotion just straight nothing, I nod and we continue class.

It was 3:45 when I got back to the dorm. My phone was dead and the dorm was empty, they must be gone, walking to my bedroom I strip and hop in the shower quickly, wrapped in a towel I head to my dresser where I picked out a simple boring fit, which was sweat pants and a white crop top with a pair of all white socks, I felt clean and so did my hair which I washed and put into a cute ponytail in the front

Sitting on my bed with grace I scrolled on tik tok with a bag a chips on the bed, I then got a message from a bunch of people, my mom texted me so I texted her back, getting up I slide on my shoes and I grab my car keys, grabbing grace I lock the door and to my car

I wanted to have a good day, I needed to spend time with my dog and being myself, sliding in my car I plug in my Bluetooth, playing the song ' FnF' come on and I sing along as we drive down the street " GRACE" I laugh as she sticks her head out the window, I felt free as the wind blows in my hair, pulling into Starbucks I get me a cake pop and Grace a pup cup, when I pay for the things we drive away as grace fucks up the pup cup that I bought her " Let's get to the nail salon then get home baby
