Toni.
“You're gown boo, I can't tell you anything.” She said before
she pulled her phone out of her purse and began typing. She leaned in towards me and held her phone
up to take a picture.
“Pump ya breaks with all that.” I said and ducked out of her
cameras view.
“Chill it's just a Snapchat to Ant.” She said so I relaxed
and threw up a peace sign while Toni snapped a picture and the typed something.
“Sooooo, how did it go last night?” She asked slowly dragging
the words out.
“Just friends Tee, that’s it!”
“With benefits, girl don't forget our walls are thin.”
“Well you didn’t miss anything last night because like I said
no more benefits.
“I won't hold you to that because we both know better,
whether you choose to admit it or not.”
“Anyway. You have plans later?” I asked not wanting to get
into a debate about my situation with Xavier.
“Nah what's up?”
“I was thinking about going to Zay’s game tonight.”
“When was the last time you went to one of his games? Mmhmm
just friends right?” Toni laughed, “Is he getting us in ‘cause I’m not paying.”
“Keep it up and I'll just go by myself.” I said
sarcastically.
“Uh no boo, I'm not letting you go over there without me so
Tori and here clones can jump you. Besides, I think it’s about time for me and
number twelve to officially meet.” I had forgotten all about the mild obsession
that she had formed with one of Zay’s teammates. This I might add was solely
based on his picture printed on a game program that Zay had left in my car. Yep never met and she was in lust .
“Excuse me, don't you have a situation?” I asked.
“Hey everybody needs an ace in the hole.” Toni flashed me an
evil grin.
“I can't with you.” I said and laughed “I'm heading back to
the dorms to try and finish this paper for Psychology or I won't be going
anywhere tonight.”
“At least you're done for today. I have two more classes.”
She frowned.
“I told you to take early classes. That's your fault.”
“Whatever, everybody is not like you up at the crack of dawn
and for the record, I know you’re going to take a nap and not finish your
paper.”
“Say what you want but I'm done with classes for today.”
“You suck.” She pouted.
“You love me.”
“Barely.” Toni stood up and adjusted sweater around her hips,
picked up her binder, oversized purse and shoved her phone back in it.
“Later boo.”
I threw up a peace sign as Toni disappeared into the crowd of
students that were in the cafeteria lounge. A few minutes later I grabbed my overstuffed
book bag and pulled it on to my back. It was so heavy that I actually stumbled
a little but I managed to make my way out of the café, through the parking lot
to my car. When I pulled up at the dorm there were a group of guys standing
outside that I didn’t recognize but they were standing with two girls that
lived on my floor. I didn’t really care
for either one of them so when I reached the door I flashed a fake smile and a
half ass wave but before I could grab the door one of the guys stepped back and
pulled it opened for me forcing me to have to say something.
“Preciate it.” I mumbled.
“You’re welcome beautiful.”
I didn’t even turn to look at him I just kept going. I could
feel all eyes on me as I made my way into the lobby and then swiped my ID card
to open the door to our hall. It was quite because almost everyone had
afternoon classes which I loved. I could usually study or take a nap without
anyone bothering me. Our room was kind of in the middle of the corridor thank
goodness because I didn’t think I would make it much farther with my fifty
pound book bag. After I reached our room I unlocked the main door, stepped
inside, slide my book bag off my back and dropped it on the sofa. I could smell
the coffee that Toni made before she left for class because the half empty cup
was sitting in the sink. I poured it out and rinsed the cup
