Koria : core-ree-uh
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━It's been a minute since I'd been to one of my college's parties and I kind of missed it. "Cous!" Manny waved me over.
I'd came with him because I never really had any friends. My mom always told me friends weren't forever and kept me sheltered, I'd never been to a public school until college. Always homeschooled, I hated it.
I made my way into the kitchen where everyone was. It was no more than 20 of us, but only 9 in the kitchen area. There was a board game sitting on the table and I suppose everyone was about to play. "Koriaaaa" Janice passed me the dice. "Roll"
I rolled taking the red card I was instructed to. "Kiss the 3 most attractive guys in the room or take 3 shots"
"Ouuu" everyone hyped. "You want this bottle cous?" Manny laughed trying to hand me some Dusse. I scoffed, he knows I only drink light liquor.
"I ain't no pussy" I said mater of factly. I scanned everyone in the room. My first choice was Joey. He was fine, just a hoe. The next was Colby, he had a girlfriend but hey it's a game and she's playing it. She actually clapped. Then I just threw the last kiss to a guy named Prince, he was being standoffish.
Everybody talked about my choices or whatever and I passed the dice. To whom? Prince. He laughed before coming out the cut, all his tattoos now visible. He rolled a 6 and picked up a green card.
"Crazy" he laughed. "I'll take the shot"
Janice took the card reading it as he took his shot. "Call your last body or take a shot"
"Smart choice" Maleah sat back. Mind yall that's Colby's girl. He slid the dice across the table no specific destination and of course it fell at my feet so I rolled again.
Having to pull from the red stack again. "What's with my shit being 3 shots as consequences" I sighed. I wasn't much of a drinker. "It says rate the girls from most to least attractive"
"That's messy" Colby scratched his head. I looked at the 3 girls and shook my head. "No hard feelings"
"Right" Maleah rolled her eyes.
"Um Dani, Janice, Maleah" I trailed off. "Yall know yall all look good as hell though"
Everyone was quiet and I handed the dice to Manny. He rolled picking up red as well. "Kiss who'd you take home right now or 3 shots"
"Wow" he laughed. With no hesitation he kissed Janice.
"We knew that though" Dani laughed. She then rolled and read her green card. "Name who you think has the best head or take a shot. I will be taking a shot"
"Y'all lame" I dragged feeling my liquor begin to mix with the weed. "Lame as hell" Maleah agreed rolling. She pulled a red too.
"Oh I like this, pour a shot for the biggest hoe or take 3 shots" she stood up happily scanning the room. "Here Prince"
