Issa Prompt No. 2 (Part 1) - "Tamed"

You were hurrying across campus trying to get to your ten AM class on time when the mug you were holding firmly in your hand spilled some coffee on your jacket, again, which only made you curse under your breath for the fifth time. You had no idea why you kept doing this to yourself, sleeping late only to run frantically to make it to class on time in the morning the next day. You dismissed the thought weaving through the other students walking towards you.

Your heart dropped when you saw some of the Lambda Lambda Phi members sitting outside their house promoting the party they were having tonight. Your roommate had been talking about it all week and was dying to get you out of your shy introverted comfort zone, but you insisted you had to study or do something, anything better than going to some stupid frat party. Usually you'd wake up early enough to get pass this part of your commute before they woke up but, today, was not one of those days. There was no other way to get to your class not in a timely fashion at least. So, you took a deep breath and turned your headphones up louder as you braced yourself walking past them.

One of them started walking next to you, casually keeping up with your pace. "Hey ain't you the girl from my class?"

"I dunno what you talkin' 'bout but I gotta go." You said, coldly not even looking in his direction.

"Ahhh college girl got attitude, I like that." He laughed raising his brow amused. When he noticed you were still going to keep walking, he stood in your way causing you to bump into his strong chest and one of your headphones to fall out your ear. "Yeah you are that girl. You answer all the questions and you sit in the front. Every Wednesday you run past here tryna get there on time. You real focused huh?"

You finally glanced up at him. He smiled cockily when he saw the  recognition of who he was in your very irritated brown eyes. He wore a burgundy beanie that went with his matching hoodie with his fraternity letters embroidered with golden yellow trim on the front and a black bomber jacket to go over it. Loose jeans and boots to complete his outfit. He smelt so good. The winter breeze blew through your low-cut hair when you realized you were staring and that you forgot your hat again. "You like what you see huh college girl? What's ya name?"

You clutched your books looking down at the ground shyly trying to get out of this somehow. This was Trevante Rhodes. THE Trevante Rhodes. The senior who was captain of the track team, had a 4.3 GPA, and a reputation for making underclassmen practically tear off their panties and throw them at him. And HE was talking to you. The nobody that was just trying to make it through these last two years and graduate. You were a brainiac when it came to African American studies and was majoring in biochemistry. You knew you had a very bright future ahead of you and you had no time to be smiling at boys like him.

"Oh, I got you blushin' huh? Look at chu." He tucked a flier in between your books grinning. "You comin' tonight right?"

"Look Tre I gotta get to class alright!" You said, taking the flyer crumpling it up and shoving it in your pocket pushing past him. "You can fuck around and be late as you always are but I'm not that kinda girl. I gotta get to class."

He grabbed your arm looking you up and down biting his bottom lip before walking a little closer. "And what kinda girl are you?"

The way he looked at you, how he said it, you nervously smiled and snatched your arm away from him. "Boy I gotta."

He laughed again finally letting you go on your way, watching you run off to class walking in the same direction behind you.

You got to class just as the professor was calling your name for attendance. "Here!" you shout out of breath taking your usual seat near the windows to hopefully charge your phone. You leaned down to plug in your charger when he came strolling in moments later. His neat bearded goatee with low-cut hair and pearly white smile. His rich smooth dark skin. He walked in as his name was called as well.
