Today was just a chill day until my biggest headache, Paige Bueckers, came into my dorm with half the basketball team. Like, girl, are you serious?
“Heyyy, Angel Reese, dope!” I snapped my neck towards the tender-headed blonde. “Paige, don’t start with me today, not on this good afternoon.”
She rolled her eyes and waved me off. “Girl, boo.” Ayanna came and sat next to me, taking the blanket I had over me off. Mind you, they just came back from practice, so she is wrapped around my blanket, sitting on my couch, drenched with sweat.
“Ayanna, yo ass better get the hell off my couch in those nasty-ass clothes.” I popped her upside her head. Aubrey snickered like I wouldn’t do the same to her. “Aubrey, you too. Actually, all y’all get out and go take a damn shower.”
Everybody looked at me confused and frowning, and I did the same, ‘cause why are you not walking out the door? “I’m dead serious. Y’all coming in here smelling like sweat and ass.”
They smacked their lips and started to pile out, leaving only me and Kk. I turned to her, “You too, Kamorea.” She just smiled at me and left to go to her room.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve developed feelings for Kk, and I was in denial for the first three days. But now I know I like her. I just hope she likes me back.

When the team came back to me and Kk’s dorm, they were loud and annoying, except Azzi and Q. They’re like angels.
“Attitude, now walk off!” Here they go with this shit again. Jana did it, then Aubrey, then Ayanna. “Angel, the live said, do you have a girlfriend?”
Oh yeah, I’m pretty sure the whole world knew I’m into girls. I announced it by posting a picture of me and my ex taking a mirror picture. The picture somehow made it to The Shade Room.
But I didn’t care; the more people who knew, the better.
“Sadly, not at the moment.” Paige came over to me and started teasing me about it, like girl, go play with some Legos or something.
“She don’t need no girlfriend anyway; she not grown,” Q said, because to her, I’m her wife.
I rolled my eyes and went to Kk, taking some of her Tru Fru. This shit was nasty; how the hell her and Paige eat this? “Kk, this is nasty. The yogurt-covered ones are better.”
She side-eyed me, “Nobody told you to put yo hands in my stuff anyway.” I shrugged and sipped some of Azzi’s milkshake.
“You don’t know where my mouth’s been.” I gave her a ‘be for real’ look because Paige don’t even play like that. (Yes, Azzi and Paige are dating. I was tired of them basically eye-fucking.)
