?: Jessica.
I spun around as I felt someone holding onto my arm as I was on my way to my 9am lecture.
Me: excuse me?
Corey: did you not hear me calling your name?
Me: my bad I'm trying to get to my lecture, I'm a little late.
Corey: can I meet you afterwards?
Me: for what?
Corey: to talk, unless you're trying to do something else.
Me: no thank you. I gotta go.
Corey: atleast let me have your number. I know I would've got it last night if your boyfriend didn't interrupt us.
Me: he's not my boyfriend... Anymore.
Corey: then you have no reason to say no.
Me: fine.
I took his phone typing my number in and saving it as my real name instead of Jessica.
Corey: thank you. I won't make you any later to class, I'll message you.
I smiled at him walking into my lecture sitting at the back of course.

Halfway through the lecture Jamal walked in out of breath screwing me.
Jamal: why didn't you wake me up?
Me: I didn't realise I was your alarm clock.
He kissed his teeth snatching my notes that were Infront of me.
Jamal: you're full of shit.
Me: whatever Jamal.
Jamal: all I said is I don't want you talking to people I know.
Me: you know everybody, what do you expect?
Jamal: I didn't know any other guys you spoke to except Corey.
Me: so you was watching me?
Jamal: yes I was and so what?
Me: I'm single and free to do whatever I like.
Jamal: I asked you not to do 1 thing and now you're acting like it's the end of the world.
Me: how about you worry about your own shit and I'll worry about mine.
Jamal: no Imarni. I'm not playing games with you. I don't want to see you with anybody infront of my face.
Me: then maybe you should stop watching me.
Jamal: why are you like this?
I snatched my notes back moving a few seats down since people started to turn around and look at us. He started to screw me from afar making me even more annoyed. I had no plans to pursue anything with Corey last night but now I want to since Jamal thinks he can control me.

Vanessa: it's crazy the amount of guys that have managed to locate my Instagram since I took their number last night.
Me: I know right.
Vanessa: hopefully my boyfriend doesn't find out about the bet.
Me: boyfriend? Is it official now?
Vanessa: something like that.
Me: I'm happy for you both. When do I get to meet him?
Vanessa: as soon as I know for sure then you can just double check for me.
I grinned getting excited for her.
Vanessa: why did you leave early last night? I had to come back with the guys by myself.
Me: I know I'm sorry. Me and Jamal had a argument so I just left.
Vanessa: you two are forever arguing, what was it about this time?
Me: he didn't want me to speak to a certain guy even though we all know it's for a bet.
Vanessa: he's crazy about you.
Me: no he's just crazy.
I bit my lip as a text came through on my phone.
Corey- using a fake name? Classic. Do you want me to call you Imarni or Jessica?
Vanessa: who are you smiling at?
Me: just one of the guys I spoke to last night.
Vanessa: let me guess, it's the guy you had the arguement with jamal about?
Me: yup.
Vanessa: I knew it! You love the drama.
Me: I just don't think he has a right to say who I can and can't talk to. I don't do that to him.
Vanessa: you're playing with fire.

We all sat in the living room watching power, eating snacks until Jamal stood up walking over to me.
Jamal: can I talk to you in private please?
I raised my eyebrows trying to figure out if I wanted to do what he asked or say no and cause drama.
Me: yeah sure.
I followed him into his room sitting on his bed.
Jamal: I'm sorry.
Me: okay.
Jamal: I know we were only playing a game but I know how guys think and that's why I reacted the way I did.
Me: it's fine. I get it.
Jamal: no cause you're still mad at me.
Me: because I know you'll do it again if the same thing was to happen.
Jamal: fine. Let's just agree that we don't go out together?
Me: and what happens if I bring somebody back here?
Jamal: Imarni.
Me: what? I'm just saying.
Jamal: don't do that you know it will hurt my feelings.
Me: so everybody else can do it just not me because it will hurt your feelings?
Jamal: yes that's exactly how it is. End of conversation.
Me: fine. Your apology is not accepted, goodbye.
I walked out of his room going back onto the sofa with Vanessa.
Demari: resolved?
Me: what do you think?
He kissed his teeth shaking his head as Jamal came and sat back down.
Demari: you two are annoying.
Vanessa: just propose to her and get married already.
Jamal: that still wouldn't be enough.
I stuck my middle finger up at him walking into my room since Tyree was trying to facetime me.
Me: hey what's up?
Tyree: nothing what are you doing?
Me: I was just watching TV with everyone.
Tyree: it's Tyree time now. Forget them.
