College Dreaming
Chapter 10

*Trey's POV*

Ugh, school shopping, that's the one thing I hate about starting a new year. But this time, there's more shit I gotta buy since I'm gonna be away from home. I've got bedding, hangers, school supplies, toiletries, items for my desk and some microwaveable food. Idk why the cafeteria can't stay open all day. I'm a growing greedy boy, so I must have my meals. As we get ready to check out my mom throws more things in my shopping cart.

"You think you have everything you need baby?"

"Uhh, I just need some pens and a few more notebooks."

"You didn't grab any?"

"I thought I did, but I didn't."

My mom grabs the pens she uses and we head to the checkout line. This Walmart is packed with people, the majority of them are college kids with shopping carts full of school supplies. We finish checking out and end up spending over $300 on school supplies and items for my dorm. My mom swipes her American Express card. It takes a while for it to go through, but its approved. The cashier bangs on the counter and the receipt comes out. I grab all the bags and we wait out front for everyone else to finish shopping.

*Kamaal's POV*

We're in Walmart shopping for our dorms and classes, and everyone separated with their parents. Chris and I stayed together along with our parents. I look around and see we're not the only college kids shopping here. I look further down the aisle we're in and see my roommate. I decided to go ahead and speak.

"I'll be back Chris. I'ma go holla at my roommate right quick."

"Aight bae. I'll be right here."

I walk over to Antonio and he looks incredibly confused.

"Yo wassup roomie?"

"Man you scared the shit out of me."

"My bad dude. What you got goin on over here?"

"This shopping shit is confusing as hell. That, and I got a lot on my mind right now." Antonio says

"Oh I feel you. You straight?"

"I'll be alright. Just missing my family and shit. Trying to adjust to growing up. Feel me, bro?"

"Yeah I feel you. But look, I'll holla at you later. Maybe we can chill back at the dorm or somethin."

"Sounds cool. Later bro."

Antonio walks away and heads to the checkout line. I walk back to Chris and kiss him on his cheek.

"Ugh all this PDA." My mom says

"Right? They kiss each other more than they kiss us, and we're their mothers."

"Awww, do y'all need some love too?"

"Hell no...."

"We're good. Ain't no tellin where y'all lips have been."

My mom and Ms. Anita walk away laughing. Shit if only she knew what Chris has really been doin with his lips. We finish shopping and head towards the checkout line. I'm playing around on my phone and hear a name I didn't wanna hear.

"Hey Andre!"

"Hey wassup Chris?"

Ugh this nigga. I better get used to him being around since he's Chris's roommate and shit. Aight Kamaal, keep it cool. I just won't say shit to him and everything will be fine. Chris and him continue talking as I tune both of them out.

"That sounds like fun."

"Yeah it will be. You and Kamaal should come out."

"Come out where?"

"Dang man, did you space out for a minute?" Andre says as he laughs. "I said you and Chris should come out to the Theta party tonight."

Party? The first night? Ahhh, what the hell. Might as well go have some fun.

"Sure, why not."

"Cool, shoot me your numbers and I'll send y'all the info."

Umm phone numbers? I don't think so.

"How bout this, when Chris goes back to the room you can give him the info." 

"Excuse us for a minute Andre."

"Yeah, sure."

Chris and I turn around and walk away from Andre.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothin bae"

"He's just asking for my phone number. What harm is that doing? He is my roommate after all." Chris says

"I know bae. I just don't trust him."

"What happened to you ain't worried?"

He was right. I'm not worried about anything so why am I on edge. That nigga just seems sneaky as fuck to me for some reason.

"Aight bae you're right."

"I know I am. Isn't meeting new people part of the whole college experience?"

Chris adds Andre's number. As Chris is puttin his number in Andre's phone, I notice Andre biting his bottom lip and lookin and Chris all seductive and shit. Hell nah nigga, only I can do that.

"Watch those eyes bruh."

Chris hands Andre his phone, and Andre puts it in his pocket.

"Aight, I'll holla at y'all boys later!"

Andre gives me a head nod as he walks out the store. I give him one back to be respectful.

"I still don't like dat nigga."
