tariq was in canonical studies looking down at the seat below him next to brushaundria, empty. he wondered where remiah was since usually she's the first one there.

"students, please listen up. uh i know you're anxious, and frankly some of you should be." professor simmons said to the class before professor milgram started.

"the five students with the highest gpas will advance to the semifinals for the coveted canonical studies fellowship."

"and those five students are-" professor reynolds started before being interrupted by the door opening.

"condom parade! strap up, nerds! whoo! sex week!" a random white dude said throwing condoms in the air before leaving out the room as students laughed.

"i think you dropped this." khalid said turning around in his seat showing a condom to brushaundria.

"boy if you don't get that shit up out of my face." she said smacking it out his hand. "this right here is for niggas with mbas and mortgages."

"damn."

"move."

"all right, settle down. we all know it's sex week here on campus, and that comes with a certain amount of disruptions." professor reynolds said before looking over at professor milgram.

"but i expect you all to be above the puerility of fraternity row." professor simmons said pointing at them.

"sex week was started by campus health services to help educate the student body about their bodies, and we encourage all of you to take part in the various panels and activities offered." professor milgram said.

"ha like the q party okay?" brushaundria said while doing a little dance in her seat as khalid piped in.

"hey we in there. we're in there."

"ugh. if remiah was here she'd pop the shit outta you."

"what the hell is that?" tariq asked confused.

"that debaucherous orgiastic tradition is not a school sanctioned event, and the administration had been uh trying to abolish it for years." professor simmons said looking disgusted.

"and until they do, we strongly discourage you all from attending."

"but if you do go, wrap it up." professor reynolds added.

"well, speaking of wrapping it up, can we go ahead and announce the semifinalists already?" brushaudria asked before chuckling. "and don't gag when they call my name."

"and the semifinalists are ashley fitzpatrick." professor milgram said as students started to clap. "richard banks, lauren baldwin, timothy goldwyn, and last but not least."

"brushaundria carmichael!" professor reynolds said with a wide smile on his face.

"ha! told y'all. period. what you got a problem? let's be real remiah would of took yo spot if she applied!" brushaudria said as the class applaud her.

"well done."

"congratulations to the winners."

after class tariq was walking when professor milgram stopped him.

"tariq, wait." she said tariq turned around looking at her. "listen, i know you were counting on the fellowship to graduate early."

"i don't want to talk about this."

"look, i understand. it's just that if tutoring zeke is making it hard on you to keep up in the program, then as your counselor-"

"this had nothing to do with zeke."
