Criminal Love

Chapter 2: Jo Elma's POV

I wake up at around 2:10 am and I have a message on Badoo. Well two messages from the same person. I look at his profile and he looks hot as hell. It said that his name was Jason McCann. Never heard of him. Nor am I going to New York yet. I gotta finish packing. Fuck that shit, man. But I message him back.

"Hey, Jo Elma, you up?" my roomie, La'Deishia, asks.

"Yeah I'm up!! Why's that?" I ask her.

"Because there is a party tomorrow and I was wondering if you're going." she inquires.

"Well duh, you should fucking know I'm going, Deshia!! But after that, I gotta finish packing for New York!! " I say.

"Yeah I know that." she says to me with sadness clear in her voice.

My nickname for her is Deshia. She loves it, too. The sorority party tomorrow is a HUGE deal. I need to be there. That is where all the choosing sisters goes down at. I'm hoping Deshia gets to be chosen for the Eta sorority before I leave to New York. It'll be a big deal for her. I think about it until suddenly the bell rings for breakfast.

It's four o'clock already, I thought to myself. I look at my phone and sure enough, it's four am. I get up and get dressed in a crop top and a really short skirt. Thank God it was my last day. Finally!! I already got my Culinary Arts degree.

"Deshia, you ready yet?" I yell loudly.

"Yeah I'm ready!!" she yells back, running outta the bathroom.

I laughed and say, "Well c'mon then, chicka!!"

We head to breakfast, get our food, and go sit down. We eat our breakfast and I start thinking about that guy again. Jason. He's really cute, but he's all the way in New York.

"Yo, Jo Elma to earth!!" La'Deishia says, waving her hand in front of my face.

"I'm okay, I'm okay!!" I say to her.

"Okay, girl. Just checking. You zoned out again." she tells me.

I zone out time and time again in thought. I don't know exactly why though. I guess it's because of my medical issues or something. I don't know. After we finished breakfast, we headed to the nurses station to get my medicine taken.

"Ms. Jo Elma, how are you this morning?" the nurse asks.

"Pretty good just thinking about this guy that messaged me last night. He's super cute, too!!" I tell her excitedly.

"Well, hopefully you get to know him, sweetie." the nurse says.

Me too, I thought to myself.

After talking with the nurse, me and La'Deishia headed our separate ways. I headed to biology and she headed to geometry. I loved biology. I'm a straight A student. Thank God for that. My parents would be so mad if I wasn't. I sat through for 30 minutes until the bell rang. I headed to my next class, hoping for a miracle.
