The Basement

Chapter 4

Two long weeks of growing frustration and restless nights had led to the official beginning of the semester. Beyoncé had given herself a full schedule. Between the 18 credits she had undertaken this semester the broad also had to worry about her RA duties and returning to her job at the campus marketplace. Beyoncé liked to stay busy. Despite everyone around her taking it slow as a reward for three years of hard work Beyoncé had chosen to stay so busy she could barely think.

It was insane.

All of her friends had warned her that she was taking on too much. Robyn had called her an idiot, Kelly had said she was bird brained, and even Michelle called her up from work to tell her she was likely to drop dead from exhaustion. But Beyoncé knew how to handle a busy schedule and she knew she could handle this.

Before Megan decided to ruin her nights.

Bey Pov:

I am so fucked.

Megan as usual was having her nightly rager and I didn't manage to fall asleep until four am! I was so exhausted I slept through all five of my alarms and now i'm stuck running through campus like a damn lunatic.

Finally I make it to the arts building and push open the double doors of my lecture hall only a mere three minutes late.

"Nice of you to join us. Why don't you introduce yourself since you made such a grand entrance."

Fuck.

The lecture hall was nearly full and every single eye was picking me apart like I was part of the lesson plan.

"H-hi i'm Beyoncé and i'm a senior psych major..."

Giggles hummed through the classroom as I stood there uneasy and unsure while my professor seemed to bask in my humiliation.

"Thank you Beyoncé why don't you go take a seat. And remember for next time that this class starts strictly at 9 am."

Bitch.

I scanned the crowded classroom looking for any available seats when I saw a hand shoot up from the back of the room.

God must fucking hate me.

Gazing back at me with two shit eating grins on their faces were Reneé and Normani. Two of the three stooges who have personally made sure I've had no rest in weeks.

I begrudgingly made my way up the stairs as Normani moved over one seat to make me sit exactly in the middle of both of them. I took out my laptop and tried to focus on the lesson but I couldn't ignore their burning gazes at the sides of my head.

"Is there something either of you need to say to me or are you gonna keep staring." I didn't wanna sound mean but those two were demon spawn in my eyes.

"I thought megan said you were shy?" Normani giggled. That alone sent me into a whirlwind of questions. Was megan talking about me? Did i do something to offend her other than the citation?

"Shy or not she still needs to answer my question." Question? I had just formally met these girls today. They had been torturing me without ever speaking to me and somehow i'm the one being interrogated. "What question did you ask me?"

Reneé smiled at me like playing with me was the most fun she'd had in months. "The night of the party I asked if you were single or if you were down to cheat. You never answered."

"I'm single and I have morals." Both girls laughed to themselves like they knew something I didn't. I had had enough of being in the hot seat and decided to address the elephant in the room. "Are the three of you ever going to let me get a single night of sleep. I know citing you was a little fucked on night one but don't you think this shit is even more insane?"
