Chapter 2: Introductions continued.

Chicki sat at her desk letting her hand glide across her notebook as the lyrics she heard in her head flowed onto the paper. She was in her zone, as her hand moved faster and faster. Her hand came to a sudden stop.

"Done!" Chicki yelled.

Jemi stopped the stopwatch. "1 minute and 35 seconds..damn! You beat my record!"

Chicki stood up and did a little jig. She started humming "I'm Da Shyt", as Jemi sung the words out loud.

"So what you know about our new roommate, Tori?" Jemi asked, as she twirled around the room.

"Not much. She's coming from Texas, and she's very quiet." Chicki said.

Jemi froze. "Oh no, not a good combination with us. We stay up all night writing."

Chicki sighed. "I know. I am concerned about that. We will have to try to keep quiet for her."

Just as she finished her sentence they heard the front door to their dorm open. Jemi glanced at Chicki, and then ran into the living room.

"Hi!! I'm Jemi!!"

Tori slightly winched, and thought to herself, "Why she gotta be so loud?"

Jemi saw the slight cringe, and some of her cheer left. Chicki walked out of her room more calmly.

"Hello Tori, I'm Chicki, and this is Jemi. Sorry if she made you a little uncomfortable. She can be a little over the top sometimes."

Tori shrugged, and responded in a small voice. "It's okay. Umm which room is mine?"

Jemi pointed the room on the left of hers..and said nothing else. Tori walked slowly and quietly to her room. When her door closed, Jemi had an outburst.

"Oh hell naw! She's got to go!"

"Now Jemi, we don't even know her to judge."

Jemi sighed. "She didn't have to cringe like that tho."

Chicki smiled. "Yea well not everyone is use to ur happy go lucky self..now let's see how fast you can write a song..see if you can top my record."

Jemi lite up again, and ran into Chicki's room.


Right next door..Domi was the first to enter her dorm room. She glanced around.

"Well this is roomy enough. Glad i'm hear first so I can choose the better room."

"You know talking to yourself is the first sign of craziness." Domi jumped and turned around to see a African American female standing at the door.

"No it's only crazy if she answers back." said another female, who was asian.

Domi smiled. "So I guess you guys are my roommates."

Franee smiled. "I guess so. I'm Franee by the way."

"And I'm Honoria but I'd rather you call me Nori, it makes it easier on people." said Nori with a welcoming smile.

"Well nice to meet you Franee and Nori, I'm Domi."

Franee and Nori smiled and nodded. Domi then remembered that she wanted the better room..she glanced behind her and took off. This caused the other girls to go into action. Domi ran into the middle room, it was not as big as she thought.

"Well guess I got the better room." Domi glanced to her left and saw Nori smiling. "You can have it if u reeallly want it."

Domi smiled. "No it's fine, you won it fair and square."

Domi then turned to her room. "Well let's get ready to unpack" She said to her self.

Franee walked passed her door coughing..and a word that sounded like crazy flowed in between the coughs. Domi laughed, but continued to unpack.

Two floors above in the 5 story dorm, St. Pyramid, Jeremy had just walked into his dorm. He heard voices coming from somewhere. He hoped he got to be Keon's roommate that had been the plan. As he walked towards the voices, he past a mirror. He stopped and gazed into it.

"Damn you look good."

He heard someone laugh behind him. "Oh no Redd, we got one of those."

Jeremy stared at his two roommates, and was sad to say neither was Keon. The one that was named Redd walked over and held out his hand.

"Wat up man..names Redd..and that's Najja."

Jeremy glanced down at Redd's hand, but didn't shake it. "Jeremy."

Redd frowned. "Is there a problem?"

Najja was frowning also..Jeremy felt the atmosphere shift..he wasn't down for a fight.

"Naw man..I was just hoping that my best friend was my roommate."

"Sorry nigga..you lucked out and got me and Redd instead. This is college..doesn't matter who you room with. College is about work..work and more work."

Jeremy knew right then he wasn't gonna like living here. "Yea sure." He then hurried off to his room, closed his door and collapsed on the bed. "Well ain't this a bitch" He said quietly to himself.

Two rooms down. Trey was on the phone with one of his one night stands.

"Yes sweetheart, but you know the rules. I never stay the night. It was fun while it lasted though."

He hung up just as Miles walked through the door. "Nigga you stay playing these females."

Trey shrugged. "Nigga all these women know how I am. Not my fault i'm like the Pied Piper to they asses."

Miles laughed, as him and Trey gave each other dab. "So who we roomin with?"

Trey sunk down on the couch. "John and some dude named Kevin."

Miles rose an eyebrow. "Oh so we have 4 niggas in one dorm now."

Trey shrugged. "I guess."

The door opened as John walked in sipping on McDonald's sweet tea. Miles burst out laughing.

"Nigga you really need to let that Sweet Tea go..it's starting to affect the ladies."

John smiled. "Man whatever, I'm not worrying about the ladies..I got Diamond."

Miles and Trey glanced at each other, and shared a mutual look.

John frowned. "What?! What's that look for?"

Before either could answer..they heard someone singing right outside they door. Trey frowned.

"What the hell?"

He got up and walked over to the door. Miles and John followed. Trey opened the door, and glanced out. Miles and John peeped out also. They watched as the Devil Twins clung on either arm of some nigga who was singing. They watched for a minute until Trey spoke up.

"Hey! This ain't no Apollo! Can you shut up! Damn!" Trey then walked back into the room.

Miles and John watched as this dude, ignored Trey and whispered something into the Devil Twins ears.

"Damn boy why you gotta be a freshman?" Joniesha said. " I can rock ur world all night long."

"Smh..forget that.who cares that he's young. Age ain't nothing but a number. I'd go to jail for this nigga..if he don't stop singing." Tiffany said.

"What was your name again?" Joniesha asked.

"Kevin."

"Well Kevin..well be seeing you around."

"Naw nigga fair warning. Stay away from the Devil Twins." Miles yelled with a smirk.

Joniesha glanced up. "Miles you shut your ass up..Don't be hating on this man's game because you ain't seen a vagina in 9 months nigga..Yea i counted. Don't mess with me boy."

Joniesha stalked off. Tiffany glared at Miles. "I'm watching you." She said before storming off.

Kevin watched with a puzzled look..then headed towards John and SK.

"What was that about?" Kevin asked.

"Stay away from them. To them you are fresh meat,and trust me not too many can handle those two." John said.

"What you mean?" Kevin asked.

"I heard the last nigga who tried to lay it down with Joniesha, left crying because she clowned his ass so bad for not being a Titanic or some shyt." Miles said.

Trey yelled from the couch. "Them bitches ain't shyt."

Kevin, Miles, and John walked into the dorm. "You only can say that because you haven't had neither." Miles responded.

Trey snorted. "I could have both at the same time if I wanted to."

John and Miles smiled at the same time. "Bet!"

Trey smiled. "Your own!"

Kevin glanced between them all. What the hell had he just moved himself into.
