Safety In Numbers ( BWWM) On HOLD

1

I finished unpacking my bags in my small dorm.

I sighed and wiped my forehead for the hundredth time.

Alabama weather will kill you without any regrets.

I made sure my room was clean and walked into the joint living room looking at my dormmate.

Long pretty blonde hair. Sparkling blue eyes. She was gorgeous.

I scanned the kitchen while thinking.

But why was she here... In alabama.

I mean I guess its not a HBCU* but still.

" What are you looking at you fat dark hoe. " My eyes widen and my head turned in her direction.

" I wasn't ev- never mind. " I snatched my keys off the counter and jogged down the steps to the ground. I looked around.

People of every shade of brown were here.

The basketball players and football players chatting in the middle.

The cheerleaders and Drill team standing not far off.

I walked past them all to get to my car.

" Damn " I heard one whisper as the whole group got silent. Four giant groups of black people get silent.

I thought it was a bad thing.

Maybe I have something on my face, my rolls are to big. Yeah that's it.

" She made me gay girl what the heck."

I swore that was a dude. I was two paces away from breaking into a sprint.

I finally got to my car and threw open the door.

After my deep breathing and wiping my forehead I looked up.

Two lightskins a girl and a boy and a dark skin boy were still looking at me.

I whipped outta the parking spot and peeled into the main road.

I stopped by the store and went to the candy isle.

Chocolates, sour patch, Chocolate covered cookies, ice cream, and a sprite is good.

I cashed out and headed back to campus.

My dark skin sweating a ton and my shorts creeping up higher.

I better change for orientation.

I got to campus and the kids glanced back at my car.

I got out and hustled to my room.

The football team, cheer and drill were gone.

The basketball team still conversing about who knows what.

" Let me carry that for you." I looked up into hazel eyes.

At once my bag dropped on the ground.

If I was lighter I would blushed.

" S-sorry, Its okay. "

I bent down to pick up everything and swore I saw a flash.

Stop over thinking things.

I tried to listen but I couldn't.

" D-did you take a um a picture?"

" Sure did. You're  cute, what's your name. "
