Ch. 3
So First off Let me Thank Everybody For the Reviews, And Give my Lame Excuses For the Slowness Of The Update I'm Sorry and Will try to do Better ! But other Than let's get rolling especially Since I don't Have Anything Else to Say!
"Is that everything, honey" Tom said, lugging the rest of Jazmine's luggage into the car. "Yes" Jazmine said glumly today was the day it was freshman's move in and she was staring sadly at her Facebook feed that contained excited from all her old friends who were excited about their first start in college her friend Hanna had uploaded a boatload of pictures at the college that Jazmine should be going to right now Jazmine felt a strong surge of jealousy as she browse through the pictures.
"I know this is hard for you Jazmine but the world isn't ending and you shouldn't treat your life as such" Tom replied as they got into the car. The trip to Woodcrest University was at least one hour and half away. "That's easy for you to say dad, but nobody likes being uprooted" Jazmine said bitterly. Tom looked at her and shook his head and started the engine.
"Goodbye honey" Sarah called out as they pulled out the yard. Jazmine sighed and yelled out "goodbye" as they made their way to the place that Jazmine did not want to be.
She pulled out her cell phone and stuck in her headphones and listen to some music, hoping to block out the thoughts and let her mind drift her to sleep, and that's what she did sleep hoping that once she awoke this nightmare would be over.
"We're here," Tom said loudly and cheerfully waking Jazmine up from her peaceful slumber she rubbed her eyes groggily. And let her eyes explored the giant college campus with wonder it really was a nice school.
The campus was littered with students moving in with suitcases and cars filled with crying parents.
They pulled up behind the security entrance who let them passed by easily the man seemed bored with his job and didn't want to be bothered he barely glanced at tom's id as he handed it back to him and told them to go through.
They passed several dorms all of them were nice, but they look like mini Apartments "Ahhh here it is One Wiona Wuncler Dorm B" Tom said happily pulling into the parking lot of a nice tan brick building it was huge and the girls were pouring left and right with their suitcases.
Jazmine just sighed and resisted the extreme urge to roll her eyes as she got out the car and grab the folder containing her information she had already been registered and schedule for classes.
She had changed her major to Nursing to her father's dismay, paralegal was her first choice, but she just didn't have the interest to be helping lawyers and be in court rooms after being witness to her father's problems and she also did it to get back at her father a little bit but also because she wanted to be in the medical field.
If she was going to the college she wanted to go with her friends back home they would probably judge her choice most of them were only going to college to look good, they just plan on marrying rich husbands and living out their futures as socialites.
"Ready honey" Tom spoke locking the car door and taking her out of her reverie Jazmine nodded but miserably forced herself to go into the building.
The student lobby was the first room of the building it was very nice and tastefully done a nicely dressed lady sat behind a desk fiddling with her brightly red painted nails she looked bored and wanted to be anyplace but there.
But she straightened up when Tom and Jazmine Approach her "Hello my Name is Cristal like the champagne" she said in a monotone, looking at them with little interest both Jazmine and Tom raised their eyebrows. "How can I help you?" Unaware of that action and continued on as they though she was ready for them to leave.
"Hello my Name is Tom Dubois, I'm here to help my daughter get her dorm room and moved in" tom said brightly unfazed by Cristal bored behavior leave it to her father to be upbeat about everything.
"Right do you have your information?" the woman said, knocking a blonde strand out her face. Jazmine nodded and handed it to her. Cristal took it quickly and pulled out the sheet with Jazmine's information and typed it into her laptop quickly.
"Yes, I see a Jazmine Dubois assigned to a room on the first at the end of the hall of hall A to room 12 " Cristal said briskly and pulled out a form and two keys on a ruby red chain. "Filled this out and I'll have an RA guide you to your room and give you a tour of the dorm and remember to not lose these keys, it's a one hundred dollar fine if they get lost, destroyed or become missing". Cristal said in the same bored tone, handing Jazmine the form and keys.
Jazmine and quickly filled out the form barely looking at it and handed it back to her. Cristal took the form and put it in a ruby red form that had Jazmine's name on it and dropped it in a file cabinet behind her desk and stood up and pushed a red button that was in the middle of the wall.
It made a small buzz and the file cabinet suddenly pushed into the wall and bolted locked both tom and jazmine both raised their eyebrows thinking on the same lines "what the hell'. Cristal picked up the red phone sitting on her desk and pushed some numbers in and a voice answered quickly. "Yes, Kelsey I need you to show a new student their room and give them a quick tour please" Cristal said. She then hung up the phone "you guys can go sit down; she'll be up with you shortly". Cristal said.
They nodded and sat in the comfortable chairs the door on the left of the lobby burst open suddenly revealing a short giddy curly head blonde she was very short and bubbly. She smiled brightly once she saw Jazmine and Tom and held out her hand to shake both their hands.
"Hello my Name is Kelsey Delaware like the state of Delaware" Kelsey said happily she was pretty, but the constant smiling and being overjoy for whatever reason was unnerving she must be related to Cristal I wonder if everybody references their name to something. . "Um My name is Jazmine Dubois" Jazmine said as politely as she could mustered she was ready to get this damn day over with as she sighed inside.
"Cool well welcome Jazmine to the Wiona Wuncler Dorm were the second Female dorm on the campus there are three others on the right of us and across from us so what do you want to do first see the dorm or see your room first" Kelsey said still smiling.
"I guess I'll tour the dorm first" Jazmine said not caring and really giving a damn and ignoring the disapproving look her father gave her for her tone. Kelsey didn't seem fazed by Jazmine's indifference. "Great will start with the rec room and café follow me" Kelsey said leading them as they were leaving Jazmine could have sworn that Cristal was smirking at her she wonder why. As they followed Kelsey.
She led them down a hallway with doors on both sides and turn left to a glass door to a very big room that had huge tv's a pool table chairs and couches a huge Wi-Fi system a mini library and a Wii system with three vending machines and a smoothie station with a worker that was bored out of her mind as she played on her cell phone barely paying them any attention.
"This is the rec room where students can come to relax, play games, read have fun and even study, they stay open until 6 to 12 it's very nice and every dorm has one now let's head to the café" Kelsey said happily leading them out the room Jazmine couldn't help but be impressed.
They turn right and were led to another room twice as big as the rec room it had a cafeteria setting type feel and had three stations with a splatter of tables and booths one of the stations served sandwiches and pizza while another served salad and different types of pasta. And the other one was dessert. There was also a coffee stand funded by Starbucks and a small McWuncler's burgers station the café smelled good with the fresh display of food and a few students were there eating.
"This is our café it has a bunch of different food items to choose from and they're also a Mcwuncler's which makes sense because he built this school all the food here is free and you can eat as you much as long as you use your school id the food is paid for through your tuition now there only two places left the gym and the study room" Kelsey said motioning them to follow her into the next room.
Which was even bigger than the café they gym was filled with every exercise equipment piece you could think of and even had two pools an inside and indoor pool. She then led them to the study room which was filled with expensive computers and long tables to study and do homework.
When they were finished with that she showed them the student parking lot for the dorm and explained that Jazmine couldn't have a car until her junior year but the school provide a shuttle bus and taxi that would provide all day and all night transportation Jazmine was beginning to wonder was this a college or a luxury hotel that had all the works.
"The times for everything are all posted on the bulletin board and extra copy has been placed in your dorm housing. Now the last thing on the list is to show you your room and you can move right on in, " Kelsey said, beaming taking them back to the hallway they started on first. room 12 was three rooms down "May I see your keys?" Kelsey asked politely Jazmine handed them to her.
Kelsey took them and opened the door excitedly and "Wa La!" here is your dorm housing you'll be rooming with two girls," she said, moving aside so they could inspect the place the room was built like how the inside of an apartment would be built it had a small living room set with a nice tv a small kitchenette and three empty rooms the first two doors were closed and had name tags on them.
One was in bright orange writing that said Aalia Rosedell and the other one was in Blue saying Cynthia McPherson a display of suitcases were already set by both doors.
Jazmine turn to the last one the tag was empty on her door, but her suitcases have been already by her door. Jazmine looked at that in surprise. Kelsey is noticing that smiled widely.
"A valet service brings up all the students' bags on the first day of move in and takes them down on the last day of move in sponsored by Mr. Wuncler himself". Kelsey said, answering their unspoken question. "Well, that is very nice I must say we didn't have anything close like this when I went to college" Tom said very impressed.
"Here write your name on this tag and use your keys and you go ahead and set up your other roommates must have stepped out so you can use this time to get acquainted with your dorm room while their out I wish you a successful freshman year and I'll leave you to it" Kelsey said smiling at them and handing Jazmine a yellow marker and sticky tag.
Once she did that she practically skipped out the door and left Jazmine and her father alone. "Well, what do you think honey this place really isn't that bad" Tom said, looking at the dorm room impressed. "It's not" Jazmine said tiredly as she wrote her name quickly on the tag and stick it on the door post.
She unlocked the door and saw the room was medium size with a medium size bed and dresser and mirror and finished off with a small bathroom. As much as Jazmine hated to admit it the school was turning out to be better and better especially appearance wise at least.
It only took thirty minutes and a half to get everything set up the way Jazmine wanted. "Well, honey it's getting late and its looks like you're all set to go" Tom said, finishing setting up Jazmine's new laptop on the small rich brown wooden desk.
"Yeah" Jazmine said quietly. "Would you at least walk your old man out, I know you hate being here, but Jazmine understands that everything I did was for you and your mother to have a better life I hate that you were snatched from one lifestyle to another, but I hope that one day you will understand and try to give this school a chance it's really a nice school" Tom said hopefully his voice pleading with her to understand.
Jazmine sighed and took a breath "I'll try daddy," she said reluctantly he nodded solemnly, but he was satisfied with her answer she leads him out back to the parking lot.
And walked him back to his car and gave him a deep hug and waved a half-hearted goodbye.
She then walked back through the student lobby, heading back to her room to see Cristal still sitting down at her desk smirking at her. Why the hell was this woman smirking at her did she know something she didn't?
"Do we know each other?" jazmine blurted out unsure. Cristal chuckled and pulled out her lipstick and freshen her red lips, "No but I know your father, he's a big time lawyer" Cristal said smoothly.
"Yeah, he is but he doesn't seem to know you, so what's your deal?" Jazmine said, getting defensive she had just arrived here and she really wasn't in the mood plus she wanted to avoid her roommates she didn't want to socialize with people she didn't know.
"I wouldn't expect him too, especially since he sent my boyfriend to prison for seven years" Cristal said bitterly stepping up to Jazmine the scent of her strong perfume lingering in her nose.
Big deal Jazmine's father had sent all types of people to prison what did that have to do with her. "And" Jazmine said sarcastically Cristal bristle angrily at her tone and laughed coldly. "You know what you aren't even worth it you'll never fit in here and your old lavish rich life is over seeing you suffer from that is more than enough for me, but your father will pay for what he did to my man one day I promise you that" Cristal replied moving away from Jazmine and grabbing her purse off the desk.
"Is that a threat" Jazmine said seriously, she was getting threatened by a dorm room advisor. She could almost laugh at how stupid this was. Cristal just snicker and shook her head at her "it's whatever you want it to be little girl, but as much as I would love to stay and chit chat I have lunch if you need anything just leave it at my desk" Cristal said smirking at her and leaving.
"Online schooling would have been so much better" Jazmine muttered to herself annoyed, she couldn't deal she didn't ask for this she was at school, she didn't want to go too, moved back to a place she hated as a child and now was dealing with one of her dad's scorned victim's.
She walked back to her room and thought about what she was going to do, she decided taking a nap was the best choice at least asleep, she could drown out the thoughts and frustration and feelings she was feeling for a little while as she pulled out the key and unlocked the door to see three nosily girls talking excitedly they all stopped once they saw her.
"Um, hey" Jazmine said timidly taking in the sight damn this was awkward, "what's up you Jazmine right?" Said the first girl she was pretty and had a thick Brooklyn accent she was brown skin with bright red hair in a curly messy bun wearing a white crop top and shorts with white sneakers.
"Yes" Jazmine said, nodding her head "cool, I'm Aalia Rosedell one of your roommates, but you can call me Lia for short and come up we don't bite why you acting so scared" Aalia said in a friendly voice. Making Jazmine blushed and feel small as she walked up so they could get a better view of her.
"Shit Lia you may don't bite, but I do, " said a pretty Spanish chick she had long black wavy hair pulled into a tight ponytail, she was also wearing a black crop top with black sweat pants and black combat boots she wore very light make up and had a small lion tattoo on her left shoulder.
The third girl a blonde rolled her eyes and smirked "Don't pay Roseline no mind, she ain't gonna do shit I'm Cindy or C-Murph nothing else and nothing more" Cindy replied holding out her hand for Jazmine to shake it.
Cindy was about her height she had long blonde hair also pulled back, but in a thick braid she wore a dark blue T. shirt and black basketball shorts with black Jordan's and black tube socks.
"Yo, why you tell that ho my name" Roseline said scowling.
"I'm not a garden tool" Jazmine said, affronted she didn't even ask for this girl's name so why was she being compared to a garden tool.
The three girls stared at her for a minute and bust out laughing "Is she for real?" Roseline said her Spanish accent thick with amazement looking at Jazmine who look back at her confused.
"It looks like she is and that's what your ass get always trying to bully bitches and shit" Cindy said wiping tears from her eyes.
"I like her, she spoke back most of the girls here don't, it's refreshing to see someone not scared of you" Aalia said still laughing.
Roseline looks at the laughing girls angry and walked right up to Jazmine swiftly as though she wanted to hit her Jazmine couldn't help but flinched was this chick going to hit her she better not or she would press charges and sued the hell out of her for harassment.
"Quien te crees que eres puta? (Who do you think you are a bitch?)" Roseline said angrily looking Jazmine in her eyes. Her black eyes flashing with fire.
"Jazmin y que vas a hacer al respecto"( Jazmin and what are you going to do about it?) Jazmine spoke back sharply in perfect Spanish thanks to a Spanish maid Jazmine knew how to come back correct.
Roseline's expression change from anger to surprise to anger again while Aalia and Cindy Laughed wildly. "She got you beat rose she can speak Spanish back to your ass see all that slick talking in another language was gonna come back and bite you in the ass" Cindy snickered holding back her laughter.
"Come on rose chill you started with her first" Aalia said, pushing them apart "I don't care this puta a better respect me" Roseline said coldy still staring Jazmine down who stared back. Cindy rolled her eyes "Just because you with that fro ball head Nigga doesn't mean you can imitate everybody else". Cindy said, annoyed.
"Me and my man can do whatever we want we run this damn school" Roseline said snapping back at her. A sudden phone buzzing rang in the air and everybody looks down to see if their phones were ringing. Roseline pulled out her phone squealed with delight.
"Man sees yall bitches later, my papi is calling me for some quality time" Roseline said happily texting the person back while Aalia and Cindy made faces of disgust.
"Ugh, we didn't need to know that damn details" Cindy said frowning. "Whatever" Roseline said, heading toward the door, but not before bumping into Jazmine roughly. "Until we meet again" Roseline said the giving Jazmine look of disdain. Before closing the door.
"Aalia I know she your friend and all but she is annoying as fuck" Cindy said, getting up and heading to the fridge. And grabbing a bottle water.
"Roseline isn't that bad she can be a sweetheart when she's wants to be" Aalia said, flopping down on one of the chairs. "Come sit Jazmine" Ali said, waving Jazmine over to one of the empty seats.
Jazmine smiled shyly "she doesn't seem to like me" Jazmine said ruefully both Aalia and Cindy snickered. "Roseline doesn't like anybody except people who are her friends and her man, but I would definitely say she hates your guts you speaking back to her in her own language differently has raise of trail of fire" Aalia said smiling with amusement.
"I barely did anything to her" Jazmine protested she wasn't use to girls not liking her for no reason back home everybody liked her.
"You don't have to do anything to make Roseline not like you that's just her nature" Cindy said taking a huge swig of her water.
"The best thing to do dealing with Roseline just avoid her and stay away from her man" Ali said giggling.
"Yeah, please stay away from fro fro if anything triggers that chick it's that's the nigga he got her head so far gone you would have thought she could pass for insane did you know he's banging that chick at Dorm Building C." Cindy said, shaking her head with disgust.
"Cindy!" Aalia cried out with shock and disapproval "What its' true and you know it that nigga think he the shit cause he got his stupid little squad running around got Roseline thinking she can step to any bitch because of his status and because she dating him, but he still smashing other girls under her own damn nose shit is pitiful if you ask me" Cindy said uncaring.
"Ugh I'm going to take a nap, I don't want to hear this, I'm going to take a nap" Ali said looking uncomfortable getting up and going to her room.
"Whatever fine, but you know it's true, but fuck it, I'm going to sleep too "Cindy said getting up as well. Just as she was going into her room, she turned around and looked back at Jazmine. "Just know while you here Jazmine that there are No new images here talk to you later" Cindy said going into her room.
Jazmine nodded her head and went to her own room wondering what the hell did that mean No New Images here as the words processed in her brain she sighed, laying down her bed feeling the waves of sleep overcoming her while her mind began.
Asking herself the same question, until she could find the answer to it
"Why me"?
