I got lost trying to make my first class. Great. Trying to sneak into the back row was tough but I found a seat. Sitting down I tried not to make a scene but I felt everyone's eyes on me. My psych professor started her spiel about what she expected of us, and when things were due, followed by the handout of our course syllabus. My head spun looking at all the work to be done, but in order to keep my scholarship I had to maintain a 3.0 gpa, had I bitten off more than I could chew? I felt my phone vibrating in my purse and sneakily whipped it out to see what it was a.
I know you're probably trippin, it's a lot the first few days, but keep cool, you got it, love you baby sis
Marcus. Even miles away he was still my cheerleader "No cell phones in class!"
I heard the professor spat loudly my way.
"Sorry."
I said embarrassed before sliding my phone back into my purse. Talk about a way to make a first impression. The rest of the day was the same except I got better at finding my way around. Finally my classes were over and I was headed to the bookstore. I was walking through the doors when my phone ring Brandy's 'Best Friend' played so it was Key.
"Hey Key!"
"Danni! You have no idea how much of a relief it is to hear your voice."
"School was that bad?"
"So while Kenny was raving about me going to Brooklyn College and how great it was he forgot to mention that the black population on this campus is slim to none."
"So what you're there to do your schoolwork, make friends elsewhere."
"I understand but still, it would be nice to have one friend to hang around with."
"I'm sure you'll find someone."
"Just transfer, you don't have to go to Howard even if they are paying your way."
I laughed.
"Keyanna it is not that bad!"
"And don't get me started on the apartment."
"I thought you loved your place?"
"I do but at night it's annoying. The people outside my front window the train tracks, Ayden, ugh! I'm gonna make Kenny buy me those noise drowning headphones to sleep in."
When she got on rants like this it was hard to make her stop.
"Keyanna, you'll get use to it."
"I know. But how's Howard?"
"It's Howard. My classes are no joke and I got yelled at for being on my cell phone."
"Typical clueless Danni!"
"Horrible. And look at it this way at least you have Kenny there! I would kill to have Trey with me, I'm all alone here."
