" Fat mama, get down here so we can take pictures before its time to leave. It's a 3-hour drive to your dorm and we need all the time we can get. " my mother called out to me.

" Mama, please. Stop calling me ' fat mama ' that name isn't on my birth certificate." I responded coming down the steps carrying the last of my bags.

" Little girl, I've been calling you fat mama since the day I found out you we're a girl. And I damn sure ain't finna stop now. " she said putting her hand on her hip.

" I know mama. But it doesn't make me feel good about myself. And besides, I'm heading to college. And when people start making fun of me Kaylin won't be there to save me now. Don't you think we should hang up the 'fat mama' nickname?" I insisted.

" Listen here Unique. You are beautiful. No matter what anyone says. You have to love yourself. You should love yourself before you can love anyone else. You need to realize that one day you will find someone who loves you the way you are. Baby, you may not believe it but you are worthy to be loved. Don't let them people look down on you and make you feel like your worthless. Look at it this way. Everyone who's ever made fun of you will probably amount to nothing. They'll be taking your order one day. Oh and you don't need your brother to save you. I raised you well enough to save yourself." my mother told me holding my hands.

I nodded. " Yes ma'am. And you're right. Thank you soooo much. "

" Of course. Anything for my fat -. Oops sorry. " my mother said with a giggle.

" Its ok mama. Only you can call me that. " I said laughing.

" I love you fat mama "

" I love you too mommy. "

" Alright. Enough of this mushy stuff. Let's go. We got a college to get to. " my mom said pushing me out of the door.

5 Hours Later

" Ughhhh, Finally we're here. " I grunted as we pulled up in front of my dorm.

" Yeah, it was supposed to take 3 hours but that damned traffic." mom said.

" Let's go find my room and roommate. " I said getting a little excited.

After finding my dorm room and moving my things in I was kind of happy to see that my roommate hadn't gotten there yet so I got first call on the side of the room that I wanted.

My dorm room was pretty big. It had 2 closets, 2 bathrooms, 2 full sized beds and 4 big dressers each having a mirror on top of it. I liked it because if me and my roommate didn't get a long we wouldn't have to cross each other's path.

After me and my mom unpacked most of my things my roommate finally arrived.

She and her mother came into the room

" Heyyy girl, my name is Kimani. " she said pulling me into a hug.

" I'm Unique," I replied hugging her back. I was excited that she was my roommate. I could tell right away that we were going to best-friends.

" Ooh girl you so cute. I like your style. Don't worry. I'm not gay, I just give props where props are due." She said spinning me around.

" Kimani Danielle Brown, get it together " Her mother scolded her.
