"Excuse me ma, do you know where this is?" I walked up on a short chick with thick curly hair.
She looked over my schedule, "ah, You're in the west wing. I can take you that way" she handed me back my schedule and walked me to my dorm.
"Here you are, I'm Tommy by the way. I'm a sophomore" she smiled showing her pink braces.
"Max, I'm a freshman if you couldn't tell" I joked. "Oh, and Thanks for the help"
"I know the feeling of freshman year and I don't miss it, and You're welcome, I'm always happy to help handsome" She winked and I awkwardly laughed, it was weird to have other women besides Layla flirting with me.
"There's a party being thrown tonight by the Kappa Alpha Psi if you wanna come." She handed me a flyer. I was down but I had to see if the guys were up for it
"Me and the bros will probably slide through" I said and pushed my door open.
"It was nice meeting you Max, hopefully I'll see you later." she smiled and walked away down the hall. I walked inside and sat down my bags.
The room was a decent size. It contained two beds, a night stand and a few dressers.
"My nigga I'm telling you it's mad bitches at Howard. Nah, fuck Selena I'm not worried about her hoe ass" a tall guy with dreads waltzed from the back room.
"Wassup man, I'm Von your roommate." The guy spoke before casually giving me a head nod and going back to his conversation. I noticed all the luggage he had sprawled open around his bed and shook my head.
I just hoped he wasn't a messy nigga or we would have some problems.
I texted Layla and my aunt and let them know I was in my dorm before I got situated. I was in the middle of making my bed when Von hung up the phone and looked at me.
"Where you from patna?" He asked and sat up from his place on the bean bag he brung.
"Georgia, You?"
"Louisiana, I didn't get ya name did I?"
"I'm maxwell, but I go by Max." I said and he nodded.
"You fucking with that party tonight over by the Kappa house max?" He stood up and stretched.
"Most likely but only because it's the first party of the year. Parties aren't really my thing, plus my girl would trip if she knew I was out here partying every night"
Last time I seen Layla was a month ago when she went away to New York to officially start her modeling career. It was a bitter sweet moment but we knew it was going to have to happen.
"Damn, you came down here with a girl back home? I know I don't know you like that but you a fool bro" he said making me scrunch up my face
"Cause I got a girl I'm a fool? Weird flex but Ight man"
"No disrespect, it's just so many fine chocolate queens down here that need the Von experience. I couldn't be you right now. I left my bitch at home and told her I was single and gonna do me while I'm down here" he said cockily, I could see now we might not get along well.
"I hear you, my girl is a model though. Not just any random chick from the A"
"A model huh? Ight playa I see you" he went to say something else when someone barged into our dorm.
"Really Von? You just left me at the food court with Jay, he tried so hard to get me to go to the party with him tonight, it was so embarrassing" a light skin girl walked in, she had low slanted eyed and long jet black hair, she looked half Asian.
