As I sit here on the windowsill waiting for my friend Ann to come home I
wonder if leaving her with Chris was such a good idea. I know that she
wanted to try and play matchmaker, but its over between Shawn and me and if
I had my way Chris would get the boot too. I know that she has loved him
since forever but if she stays involved with him she may end up as just
another notch in his belt. I don't want her to become a statistic of
college life. In order for you to understand I have to take you back a few
months.
When Ann and I graduated from Evans High we decided that we would go
to college together. We figured we could keep each other out of trouble
that way; well guess what we were so wrong. We showed up at Norfolk State
dressed to impress and ready rule. I majored in Psychology and Ann studied
Sociology. We shared a room with two other girls, Michele and Tonya. Tonya
was the mother of a one year old who in spite of getting pregnant had a
3.95 GPA. As you may have already guessed she was the studious one. Michele
was the nasty one. That girl never cleaned anything and she was a switch
hitter, as I would later learn. Ann was a very sensual beauty but she was
the only one who couldn't see it. Me, my name is Yolanda and I am a
mixture of my three roommates, I don't like to clean, I get good grades,
and I can be sensual and a beauty after maybe three hours at the salon. I'm
not a dog but I can't just roll my big brown butt out of bed and look my
best like Ann.
After a week at school I was sick of being around my roommates, I
wanted to meet other people so I joined the Chorus and the Psych club. Well
at the first Psych meeting I was so bored that I feel asleep. I was snoring
so loud that they had to stop the meeting and put me out. To hell with
those boring wanna be Freuds anyway. The next day I went to Chorus
rehearsal, well PRAISE THE LORD the in the tenor section was this fine
mocha chocolate brother with a nice low shadow fade that had waves in it.
Look at him made we want to sing, if you know what I mean. After rehearsal
I damn near broke my neck trying to get to him. I introduced my self and he
told me his name was Shawn. I asked Shawn if he wanted to go to dinner my
treat (actually it was my dad's treat since it's his credit card I'm
using). Over dinner Shawn and I realized that we went to school three
blocks away from each other. We also lived less than five minutes apart.
You know that I am now on cloud nine. We decided that we would talk more
and see where this was going. Needless to say Shawn and I were inseparable
for the next six months. At first Ann was a little upset but then she
hooked up with Shawn's best friend and roommate, Chris and now its all
gravy.
It was Valentine's Day and I had a huge and I mean huge night planned
for Shawn. I went to Ashley Stuarts and got me one of those silky black
teddies with a thong to match. I was going to lose my virginity tonight and
I wanted it to be perfect. I stroll over to Shawn's with the rose petals in
my basket to spread all over his bed and what do I find, don't guess I'll
tell you. I found him and Chris cuddle up in his bed.
