Falling for you

Freshman year

As I lay in bed peacefully asleep, my alarm goes off and I grumble before attempting to get out of bed.

It's the first day of college and I can't afford to be late to my first class, I'm not fond of my roommates yet because we're all just getting to know each other, so I ignore them and grumpily find my way to the bathroom.

As I hurriedly wash every part of my body I try to picture what my first class would be like and if I would find it easy to make new friends and I also wonder what I would do with my newly found freedom as this is the first time I'd be away from my family.

I realize I'm going to be late if I keep letting my mind wander about so I step out of the bathroom and decide to get dressed.
I've always loved body hugging dresses because damn I knew I had a banging body and you can't blame a girl for showing off.
I put on an orange knee length bodycon dress with Spaghetti straps and paired it up with a nice pair of strap up sandals, after looking in the mirror I realized I still had a hard sponge on my head to deal with.
Yes I called my hair a hard sponge, if you are African you would understand.
I sighed as I sprayed my mini fro African hair with a liquid moisturizer and tried combing through it, after I tugged at it to my satisfaction I packed it up in a big thick bun that made my head and hair look like an actual pineapple.

Satisfied with my reflection in the mirror I grab my books and toss them into my big brown leather hand bag, I've always had a terrible taste for bags but I don't care.

As I walk into class 10 minutes early I get a lot of stares mostly at my hips and probably because I'm walking like a Victoria Secrets model but the thick version, well because I'm hot I guess.

I keep walking and looking around till I find a vacant sit and I finally settle down.

I look around feeling totally uncomfortable because I'm quite shy especially around people I'm not familiar with, a few minutes later the Lecturer walks in and goes on and on about this annoyingly boring topic.

I take my book and pen and start writing as much as I can from what the lecturer is saying even though I can't wait to leave.
I know it's awkward that I hate my first class already but damn the class was way too boring.

After 2 hours of blabbing he finally leaves and my inner peace returns. As I rise to leave I hear a deep voice say "hey, you look amazing" , I look up to find a good looking chocolate skinned guy with deep brown eyes, thin lips , a perfectly shaped brow and an amazing smile staring at me .
I stutter a bit before I finally regained my sense, with a soft smile I say thanks and look down feeling a bit embarrassed from the way I reacted at first.

He doesn't seem bothered as he stretches his hand towards me saying "I'm Charles,what's your name?"
I shake his stretched hand and introduce myself as Tina. I really have no intentions of dating this guy, I'm just really excited I finally made a new friend "I say in my head trying to convince my inner hoe that I wasn't physically attracted to him immediately"

We explore the school together and make little jokes until I decide its time for me to return to my hostel.
I say goodbye and take a cab back to my hostel.

After I got to my room I decided to introduce myself to my roommates so I don't seem like a stuck up bitch.
I have 4 roommates, Diana, Nicole, Jennifer and Brandy. They all seem pretty nice and warm so I guess I can let my guard down and start feeling comfortable with them. We talk about guys, shopping, our newly found freedom, how our first class went and other random girly stuff before deciding to go to bed.

It's so weird I find it difficult to sleep without music so I plug my ear with my earphones and play my favorite song by "Poets of the fall" which is "cradled in love" .
I lip sync each word from the song until I finally fall asleep.
