College Dreaming
Chapter 47

*Trey's POV*

After a long day of class, I receive a text message from one of my frat brothers about a meeting with the rest of the frat. I walk inside the frat house, and this shit is packed! I haven't seen everyone together since the day my line brothers and I crossed. I look around and Kenny motions for me to come over to where he's sitting. I nod my head at him, and take the available seat next to his.

"Wassup bruh?

"Same ole shit."

"True. You seen Trenton and everyone else yet?" 

"Nah, I'm pretty sure they're either here already or on their way here."

"I hope so. What you think this meeting is about?" Kenny asks

"I don't know. I hope its not about more community service."

"Man I hear that. I'm all about giving back and shit, but it's only but so much I can give."

"You wild bruh."

"I'm serious man, that's all we do. If we're not stepping or hosting a party, we're doing community service somewhere. This shit feels like pledge season."

"See you're pushing it now. Nothing was worse than pledge season." I say as I laugh

"You know what, you're right. Remember that time when James forgot his hoodie in his dorm?"

"I will never forget that shit!"

"Ha, I could tell you wanted to go ham on his ass."

"And Zeke went ham on us that night."

'So have you told your friend how you feel about him?"

I stare into space for a good minute. Other than Kamaal, Kenny is the only one who knows I still have a small crush on Chris.

"Trey!"

I snap out of my trance and turn my attention back to him.

"Huh?"

"Damn bruh you zoned out on a nigga. Answer my question. Have you told your boy how you feel about him?"

"Nah. I don't think I ever will."

"Why not?"

"Cause I don't wanna ruin our friendship by telling him. Plus he's happy where he's at right now, and that's all I want for him."

"That's wassup. You a good friend. So Wassup with you and that girl you've been talking to?"

"I don't know. We're just chillin right now. Why?"

"You like her?" Kenny asks

"I do...sort of...hell, I don't know..."

"Oh well I-"

As soon as Kenny was about to say something, Zeke and a few other top dogs in the frat approach the podium up front and start the meeting.

"We'll talk about this later."

I nod my head at him as he turns his attention up front. I wonder what it is that he had to tell me. Zeke greets us, and everyone else greets him back.

"Aight let's get this started. First order of business we have a new community service project at the Boys and Girls club-"

Damn, more community service? Well at least it's about the kids this time. As I continue tuning Zeke out, I start falling asleep. As soon as my head drops, Kenny pokes me on my side and wakes me up. I look over and give him a "what the fuck" look.

"Sorry man, its gonna be off with your head if Zeke or anyone else sees you sleeping."

"Next week will be the annual Theta formal. This is not a public event. You all can bring a date and everyone is limited to 3 other guests."

I forgot all about that damn formal. I thought it was next month. As I'm thinking about it, Kenny taps me on my shoulder.

"So who are you thinking about taking to the formal?"

"I don't know. You think I should ask Briana?"

"That's on you man."

"Well who are you gonna take?"

"I don't know. I might ask a class mate."

I shrug my shoulders at Kenny and stare at the tickets that were being passed out to us as the meeting is ending. I mean, even though I like Briana, is it too early to be asking her to be my date to the formal? Would I ruin the small friendship we have? What if she turns me down? Zeke ends the meeting and dismisses everyone. Kenny and I walk out the frat house together.

"Aye, you wanna come over and watch the game tonight?" He asks

"I would, but I'm gonna go see wassup with my crew, and catch up on some homework later."

"Damn bro you stay behind in your homework."

"I know man, don't remind me. But I'll holla at you later."

"Aight man, get at me when you get that work done. Let me know if you need any help

I dap Kenny up and go the other direction to my dorm. I walk inside my building. I stare at my door and decide to go holla at Chris right quick. I run upstairs, and knock on his door and Kamaal answers.

"Wassup Trey?"

"Ain't shit. Chris home?"

"Yeah we all in here playin Uno."

Kamaal lets me in and I notice Chris and Myra.

"Trey!!!! Hi honey!"

"Wassup girl?"

"Oh I'm spankin Chris and Kamaal in this game."

"Fuckin cheater." Kamaal says

"You know what, get in the deck since you wanna talk shit."

Myra slams a draw 4 card on the floor. I shake my head and laugh at her.

"Y'all stupid. Deal me in."

Chris hands me 7 cards from the deck and I join the game. As we're playing I decide to tell them about the Theta formal.

"So before I came here, I had a meeting with the frat."

"Okaaaay, how did that go?" Chris asks

"Same ole shit, community service, step shows....anyway, there's a formal coming up in a few weeks and I have a few extra tickets. Did y'all wanna go?"

"Shit, I'm down. What about y'all?" Kamaal says

"Yeah, let's go." Myra says

"Cool. I'll give yall the tickets before I leave here."

"Well since we're going to this formal, I think a shopping trip is needed." Myra says

"Damn girl again? We just went to the mall yesterday."

"Yes hoe, again. I have club attire, not formal attire. I can't go to a formal with a freakum dress on."

"Bae we need to go shopping too so we can stunt on everybody like we did at prom." Kamaal says

"You know what, we should. We did shit on everybody that night."

"Oh please..." I say as I roll my eyes. Yeah, they looked good, but I hate when they brag

"Stop frontin cause you know we did." Kamaal says

"So when do y'all wanna hit the mall?"

"We can go now cause I'm tired of playing with Myra's triflin ass." Chris says 

Myra looks at Chris and throws a yellow skip card down.

"And you're skipped. Game over, I win petty ass niggas." Myra says as she laughs

Kamaal puts the cards back in the box, and we all head out of Chris's dorm to go to the mall.
