Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Ugh! Doesn't that stupid thing ever take a break from beeping. I turn off my alarm good thing my alarm doesn't wake up my roommate Natasha because she is not a morning person, good thing our dorm is apartment style meaning we have our own rooms.
I get up and put on my nike slides. I make my way over into the bathroom turning on the lights. I let my eyes get adjusted to the light. I look at myself in the mirror, not even knowing what I'm going to do with my hair. My hair is in senegalese twist, I thinking of wearing them up in two ponytails or maybe where them down but first I need to get my butt in the shower. I grab both of towels and walk into the bathroom, undressing myself. I get into the shower turn on the water and let it hit my body. I think about going out to the clubs with the girls.
What can happen? Will I meet the love of my life there? Ti stop thinking about love, school needs to come first. I don't need any more problems in my life.
I turned on my speaker and played Jhene Aiko album called Trip. I love Jhene, she has a beautiful voice to me. Recently her album Trip has been sticking with me. I listen to it a lot. I cried watching her short film called trip, it is a short film using her songs to tell a story.
Once I finish rinsing the soap off my body, I wrap myself in a towel and then head over the mirror to brush my teeth still listening to Jhene's album, the song playing right now is called, OLLA (Only Lovers Left Alive). I put my hair up into two ponytails. I hear a knock on the door. I'm not even dressed. Fuck. Why couldn't Natasha be up right now?
I walk out of the bathroom still in my towel and I walked over to the door. I opened up to see Lilana standing by the door holding dresses.
"Hey Lili." I say before waving.
"Don't hey Lili me after what you did last night." She says with attitude. She's in one of her moods.
"What-" She cuts me off.
"You damn well what you did. Girl you didn't text me back." I roll my eyes at her. I was so tired after tutoring 5 people for 3 whole hours.
"Lili I was tired. What'd you expect?" I ask. She walks in and sees Natasha on the bed sleeping. I give her the "don't you dare look."
"WAKE UP!" Liliana practically yells. Nastasha shoots up and looks around.
"What the hell is wrong with your friend?" Natasha asks. She rubs her eyes and Liliana laughs.
"Sorry." I say before turning back to Liliana. She then throws the dresses at me and I practically almost fall over.
"What are these for?" I asked. She smirks and looks around.
"Well I brought those over so you can try them on because you are going to wear one of them to the club tonight." She says and I let out a sigh.
"Fine I'll wear the dress since I fell asleep and didn't text you back." I say. She gave me two dresses to choose from. A black dress that would show so much skin and a dress another black dress that is off shoulder.

"Liliana don't you think they show so much skin?" I ask. She giggles a bit.
"Girl you should just wear one just for tonight. Live a little plus we all wearing dresses that show some skin." She says before flipping her hair to the side.
"Okay. I'll wear the off shoulder one with a black choker I suppose and my black pumps." I tell her and she smiles.
"Okay good." She says before grabbing the other dress. She then pulls her phone out and sits on the bed.
"I need to get dressed for my class." I tell her and she nods. She must be texting her ex boyfriend Alexander. They've kind of been sneaking behind his girlfriend's back. I tried to tell her to just move on before she finds out and whole problem breaks out.
I get dressed and then brush my teeth. I looked at myself in the mirror. I love wearing casual clothes to class but later tonight I'm wearing that dress that reveals me, my body. I guess I do have to live a little. After I get ready, Lili and I walk together to our classes which are in the same building. In fact we met each other in this building the first day of classes. We bumped into each other. She is also majoring in education but she wants to be a high school teacher, she would put them in their place, I can see that.
"Girl I'm not really wanting to go to class." She says before rubbing her stomach.
"Are you okay?" I ask. She nods before looking down at the ground.
"Yea I'm fine. I've been tired lately." She says before looking at me. I rub her back and she smiles.
"After this we could go take a nap." I tell her and she nods. We go into the elevator and then wave to each other heading to our classes. Good thing we get out at the same time because we both tired.
I walk into my General Calculus class and look around. My teacher, Mr. Raybury, was writing on the board with Expo. He's one of my favorite teachers.
"Good morning Mr. Raybury." I say before sitting down in the front row.
"Good morning Tiana." He says before waving at me. I pull out my notebook and look over my homework assignment making sure I did everything right. Soon we turned in our homework assignment and started our lesson.
After class, I walked over to Liliana's class to find her not in there. I walked into the bathroom to hear crying. I turned around the corner to see Lili hovered over the toilet.
"Liliana oh my gosh! Are you okay?" I say worried. She nods before wiping her mouth with tissues.
"Someone sprayed some perfume and I didn't enjoy the smell. I ran out of class and came in here to throw up." She tells me.
"Ti what is wrong with me?" She asks. So many reasons why she could be throwing up. But there's one that could be a possibility.
"It could be food poisoning, stomach flu, your birth control or-" She cuts me off.
"I fucking forgot to take my damn birth control. Fuck. Tiana I'm not ready to become an parent." She begins to start freaking out. I hold her close.
