College Dreaming
Chapter 7

*Trey's POV*

After that long ass drive, we finally arrive near Central Carolina University. As we get closer to the campus, the more my stomach drops to my knees. I don't know if it's nerves, excitement, joy, fear, I don't know, but this shit is real. I look over at Chris and see him looking out the window in awe just like I was. Kamaal was knocked out, and Myra was....well let's just say Myra hasn't stopped flapping her gums since we left. My mom promised her $200 if she could be quiet for the remainder of the trip. I had hopes for her until she yelled out "OMG are we there yet?" Not even money could motivate  her  to shut up. A few minutes later we make a turn, and we're officially on the campus. My eyes are still glued to the window as we get closer to the check in area. Eventually the car stops, and Chris's mom puts the car in park and looks back at all of us.

"Well babies, this is it."

We grab our backpacks and climb out the van one by one. I look around the campus and take everything in. I keep looking around and notice there's so many fine niggas left and right. Light skin, dark skin, ricans, even some of the white boys have a little swag. I wonder who's gonna be my first piece. Let let shut my horny ass up. The only thing I'm nervous about is my roommate. What if he's crazy? What if he's ugly? Hell, is he gonna be black? After grabbing our backpacks, Chris, Kamaal, Myra, and I stare at the campus building.

*Myra's POV*

After that gruesome ride, we finally make it on campus. IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME! !! I don't know about y'all, but I absolutely cannot stay in a car a long time. I get bored, irritated, restless, and a little jumpy for some reason. Trey and Chris listened to music the entire time, and if Kamaal wasn't cuddled up with Chris, he was sleeping. Finally the car stops. We all step out, and I literally start kissing the ground.

"LAAAAND!!!"

"Myra, get your ass off that ground!"

We all laugh and grab our "carry on's" and place them on our backs. I look around the campus and just think of all the possibilities. What will my roommate be like? Will we get along? What are the classes and the professors like? Where will I twerk at first? Chris, Trey, Kamaal and I stand side by side each other, and stare at the campus building.

"Well the day has finally come." Trey says

"Yeah, it finally hit me." Chris says

"I wonder who my roomate is gonna be."

"Well we won't figure that out if we stand here and stare all day." I say to them

"I'm with Myra on that. Let's get it!" Kamaal s says

We slowly walk up to the campus toward the registration table. Clearly we weren't moving fast enough cause my mom shouts at us.

"Hurry up you doofs!"

We all look back, laugh and walk a little faster towards the check in table.

*Chris's POV*

Yes, we're finally here!!! The car ride wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Kamaal slept the majority of the ride, Trey and I joked around and listened to music, as for the one we call Myra, that bitch would NEVER shutup!!! Its a shame Trey's mom had to offer her $200 to be quiet. She did pretty good, but long story short, her clown ass lost the money. As we get closer to the campus, my eyes stayed glued to the window. I can't believe we're finally in college!!! I'm so excited and ready for the experience. When I see the Central Carolina University sign, I damn near wanna jump though the roof of the car. Eventually, my mom stops the van and puts it in park.

"Well babies, this is it."

We grab our backpacks and get out the van one by one. Myra's dramatic ass runs out the van and starts kissing the ground.

"LAAAAND!!!"

The semester hasn't even started yet, and she's acting up already. We step on the sidewalk and take in all the sights. There's students sitting on the grass studying, upperclassmen reuniting, and freshmen with their family members ready to check in. Some of them have nervous faces, eager faces, and some of them are just waiting to get the hell away from their parents.

"Well the day has finally come." Trey says

"Yeah, it finally hit me."

"I wonder what my roommate is  gonna be like." Trey says

"Well we won't figure that out if we stand here and stare." Myra says

"I'm with Myra on that. Let's get it!!!" Kamaal says

Eventually we stop staring at the building and make our way towards the registration table. I guess we were walking a little too slow because Myra's mom yelled at us to hurry up. We all make it toward the table and eventually get our room assignments.

'So what dorm did y'all get?" I ask

"I got placed in Dawson Hall." Trey says

"For real? So did I!"

"Awww y'all suck. I got Matthews Hall." Myra says

"Bae, where did you get placed at?

"Ummm, looks like Cooper Village."

"Awww we got separated."

Kamaal and I start doing the hand game from The Color Purple. Eventually we walk back over to where our parents were.

"So are y'all ready to go see your dorms?"

We all shake our heads and hop inside the van. This was the part I was nervous about. Who did I get paired up with? What is he gonna be like? All kinds of thoughts ran through my head.

"Alright, who's first?"

"Meeeeeeeee!" Myra says damn near jumping out her seat

"Take it easy chick."

"Ugh shutup Trey."

Mom starts the car, and we make our way towards Matthews  Hall.
