Kamryn

Half past eight. It's time for game night. Now truthfully, I'm competitive when it comes to playing games, I just don't show it.

I boldly knocked on the door. There was no doubt I wasn't heard. Ro and I patiently waited for an answer.

"If it ain't nobody gay in here, I think Imma head out." She huffed, showing no faith in tonight meeting her expectations.

"Man. I told you she has a nose piercing she just might be ga-heyyy." I stretch out my greeting to try play it off. Being extra friendly, adding a smile.

The light from inside slowly illuminated our outfits.

"Heyyy. Come inside." Zendaya flashes us a smile.

She extended her arm as a welcome while pulling open the door wide for us to enter.

I thought we were on time, but it was looking more like we were late.

"You can sit anywhere. We're just about to play a card game." She says, after closing the door.

I keep my head high and scan my eyes around the room.

It looks like mostly women in here and only one guy. About ten different people in total including Zendaya. They were all black people, so I immediately felt more at ease.

My gaydar wasn't going off, nevertheless, it felt like I was witnessing a community. Back at TCC, I knew none of my neighbors personally. I never really felt that sense of community before. Not even at home.

She comes up behind me and pokes the back off my arm.

"You never told me your name." She says.

"My fault. My name Kamryn, but I go by Kam."

"Nice to officially meet you, Kam."

Her eyes, wrinkling at just the corners. She smiled ever so slightly.

We weren't exchanging words, but yet we were engaged in a conversation. Our silence spoke louder than our mouths. At this point, I'm almost sure she's at least bisexual, if not lesbian. Staring at my gay ass is definitely telling me you like what you see.

Ro cleared her throat, exhaling forcibly. "Ahem, I'm Royal, but I go by Ro."

"Nice to meet you Ro. I'm Zendaya."

"Likewise." Ro replies with a soft smile and nod.

"This is my place, and my roommate is over there. He's the one sitting on the floor by the couch. That's Kamal." Her hand directs our gaze.

She was pointing towards a muscular, dark-brown skinned dude with a bandana on. He was exuding top energy just from his posture. He had gold, round frame glasses and a blonde patch of hair on his chin.
