Fake Engagement [Sample]

Chapter 1 Schoolin Daze

Deon...

Here I am a freshmen at the University of Houston. Nervous as all hell because I'm not gonna be able to live at home this whole entire year.

'How am I going to survive without my mama's soul food?' I thought to myself.

Just as I was about to walk up the stairs someone grabbed me around my waist and someone else covered my eyes. Well I was hoping that it was two people since I had two pairs of arms grabbing me.

"What the hell!" I shouted getting ready to whoop whoever's ass that were grabbing at me.

"Hey Dee, it's just us. Karen and Keven." She said removing her hands from my eyes and jumping in front of me before I could bust a cap in they asses.

"Surprise." Keven whispered in my ear, and caressing my hips as if I was his girl. Which felt weird and good at the same time. I didn't like that feeling at all so I removed myself form his hold.

"Wait I thought that the two of you were going to Georgia State?" I asked in complete shock but I was happy to see them at the same time.

"We were, but then we thought it would be better to attend U of H with our bestfriend Deon McKay." Keven said wrapping his arms around my shoulder now.

"Don't you mean my bestfriend?" Karen replied from my left side yanking me towards her.

"I did know her before you did." She stated again making a valid point.

"She does have a point there Keven. I did meet her a whole three hours before I had met you in the first grade." I said smiling at Keven.

"Well it doesn't matter now. We're all here together that's all that matters now. Am I right?" He asked with his arms out stretched turning around as if he was just showing us the building for the first time. I'm no stranger to U of H since my older brother Rashawn attends here as will and he is the captain of both the football and basketball team. My parents wanted me to tell him that I had decided to come here, but I had wanted to surprise him whenever I had saw him up here.

"Wait, isn't that your brother Rashawn Deon?" Keven asked pointing over towards the parking lot where a group of big ass dudes and random ass thots where hanging around.

"Yeah that's him I'll text him letting him know that we up here so we can all go out to eat later." I said turning around to face them.

"Well we better get to the auditorium for new student orientation." I said again walking backwards not paying attention to my surroundings and when I had turned around that was when I had bumped into Stacie. The women that Keven later on in our future was supposed to marry, but she was in love with somebody else he knew and that he was very close to.

"I am so sorry." Stacie said helping me up from up off the ground.

"No it's okay; I was the one walking the wrong way." I replied whipping the dirt from the back of my pants.

"We were just headed to new student orientation. Are you headed that way as well?" Keven asked forgetting about asking if I was okay once he laid his eyes on Stacie.

"No actually I'm a junior this year, but good luck to all of you on your freshmen year. If any of you ever need any help I'm actually a student tutor, so come to the student help center and check my schedule on the days that I work. Oh by the way my name is Stacie McCall." She said then turned and walked away waving her hand bye to us.

"Well there it goes I'm in love with an older woman." Keven whispered as he watched her walk away, but that was the one thing about Keven he could not whisper for shit even if it was to save his own life. Me and Karen exchanged looks and burst into laughter. He turned and looked at us with this mean look on his face but that only made me and Karen laugh even harder to the point that our stomach started to hurt and tears were forming in our eyes.
