A South African 19-year-old NYU college student, raised in LA, gets an internship at a prestigious law firm in New York, Upper East Side. As she works on her career, she battles between her studies, substance abuse, glory, and relationships. What wi...
"What an extraordinary day today turned out to be! Your miniature presence has been ravishing.", Damson jokes, compelling slender laughter to burst out my mouth, as he bends over to kiss my hand. My face becomes flustered, as the chatter increases, he straightens up, and his dark brown eyes meet mine. Our gaze increases, and the silence around us becomes amplified. His eye contact was severe, causing me to expeditiously lick my lips. He tucks a braid behind my ear and my heart rate increases. Fuck! "Goodbye, Damson.", I announce, maintaining the gaze, and we exchange our goodbyes. Damson smirks.
"Looking forward to our next rendezvous at NYU. You won't be able to shake me off that easily."

August 14th Manhattan, New York NYU Dorm Move-In 10:00 AM
"Your self-worth is determined by you."
"Come to freshman hall ASAP!!"
I jet out of my dorm, sliding my feet into my slippers, walking through the aisles, and arriving at the freshman hall. "What's wrong?"
Danai reaches for my arm, making eye contact with me. "Thank God, you're here."
My eyes widen, as I struggle to catch my breath. "What's wrong?"
"The freshmen aren't bonding.", Danai reacts, with a dramatic sigh. Are you serious? "Danai, I thought this was an emergency."
"Ikona!"{It is!}
"Perhaps organize an event."
"That's not a terrible idea."
Rolling my eyes sarcastically, I respond with an exasperated 'Obviously!' as Danai unlocks her laptop and begins analyzing the lounge. Her eyes flit between the games and the event, fully immersed in the moment.
NYU students, join us in the freshman hall at noon, for an indoor arcade event, supplied with food, games, and prizes. Hope to see you there.
P.S This event is organized by Annika & Danai 💕
The air hums with anticipation as the first-year students buzz with excitement, their chatter filling the hallway. Danai and I diligently attend to our responsibilities as Resident Assistants, taking note of any room damages and addressing any other issues that arise. After completing our duties, and organizing the event, we head back to our dorm rooms to prepare for upcoming activities.
The shower faucet wrenches and the water halts. My body leaps out of the shower, and I change into a red blouse and a blue denim mini-skirt.
