BLOCKED

5

"Good morning class, as I told the people who were here last week we will be having a test today that covers court house etiquette when dealing with a convicted felon" My professor started off making a few people groan.

I guess they weren't here last week and didn't check their portal either.

She told us to pull out our laptops and went over how to log into the testing site since it was a newer one that we weren't familiar with.

After a few people had to trouble shoot we were able to start and for the most part it was easy.

I did guess on a few questions though. There was 75 of them so I wasn't tripping.

The final question was an extra credit question. You had your write a small paragraph about why we were majoring in criminal justice and what you planned to do with your degree.

Only a few people knew that main reason I was majoring in criminal justice. It wasn't something I talked about a lot but I was about to pour my heart out on this extra credit question.

A few hours later

Me, Sam, JJ and Amora sat in a booth at Rick's.

JJ and I had the exact same schedule so you would always catch us together and Amora asked if we wanted to meet her and Sam at Rick's since we can get free food.

Shit anything with free in the tittle you can most certainly count me in.

"I just know I failed that fucking test" Sam groaned pushing his food to the center of the table.

Sam, JJ and I were all Criminal Justice majors while Amora was majoring in nursing.

"Dude I told you if you weren't gonna go to class to at least get the notes from Ari, you know she eats, sleeps and breaths that damn class" JJ chuckled reaching for Sam's food.

I laughed shaking my head as I sipped on my milkshake.

It was kinda insane to me how they really didn't value going to school because their parents were the ones paying for it.

To be able to have the luxury of skipping a few classes or not having to work 6 days a week was something I could only dream about.

Don't get me wrong I'm thankful either way but I'm just so tired of having to work 10 times harder for something I want to do while there are people who are only here so their parents will keep funding their lifestyle.

"Aye Ari where you at girl" Amora said getting my attention.

I sighed " My bad, I was just thinking. What you say.

"We was asking if you wanted to this party, a bunch of basketball players rented a Airbnb so we dont gotta worry bout campus security or nun".

Tuhhhh that just sound like a disaster waiting to happen.

"Naw I actually have a shift in a few minutes, maybe next time though".

I said that but I knew for a fact there wouldnt be a next time. We might work together and have a few classes together but we were far from friends honestly.

It was nothing personal.

"Girl you always fucking working....you making it seem like you need to work or sum".

Gasp it's almost as if that's the whole point.

I wish I could have said that but I just nodded and finished my milkshake.

Pretty soon they all headed out and made my way to the break room to get changed for my shift.

Another long night but in the end it'll all be worth it.

Later that night

I was walking back to my dorm after my shift while on the phone with Maddie.

"You can't keep isolating yourself Arianna, that shit is not healthy".

I sighed and continued my path to my dorm as Maddie went into mama bear mode and rattled off to me every reason why I should be enjoying my college experience by partying my life away.

It wasn't that I didn't want to party because trust me I did but parties are where people forget their loyalty and do some grimy shit.

Also I needed to work as many hours as possible to be able to pay my tuition next year, plus still live for the rest of this school year.

"Ok ok Mads I swear on my life the next party you tell me about I'll go to." I said unlocking and walking into my dorm.

Tell me why this girl starts squealing like a damn pig in my motherfucking ear.

"Girl if youn stop that shit right now imma take back what I just said".

She shut that shit up real quick. "Ok so there is a party next Thursday and I will be picking you up at 8, love bestie byeee".

She hung up before I could respond. She fucking tricked me.

Heyyyyyy.

Yallll ik it's been so long. Writers block is really a thing but I'm starting to get out of it.

Imma try not to take so long with the next update.
