the meeting began by the campus owner tellin us the rules about where we were staying, then some of the teachers explained how classes were gonna work. it was a long ass speach too. they lost me 5 minutes in.
3:11 PM
theys speach was finally over. i stood up and walked down the steps to get to the exit and go back to the dorms before lunch. i walked past dd n micah tryna act like i didn see them but dd did.
DD: "Y/N"
i turned around and waited for a sec while he walked up to me with micah.
DD: "this is micah, hes from prep but he ain like the other boujie kids"
MICAH: "damn thas what yall call us?"
Y/N: "mhhmm."

DD: "i was jus gon ask if micah can hangout in our dorm fora bit"
Y/N: "yeah ion care."
DD: "igh.. we gon get sm ta eat, you want anything?"
Y/N: "nah."
my ex? in my dorm? i can't have nothin to myself huh. micah and dd left the auditorium to the cafe i followed them out and went back to our dorm.
DORM
i got my phone out of the front pocket of my bag and sat down on the floor, leaning on my bed. i tried scrolling on tiktok to make myself laugh n clear my head. but all i could think about was sincere. why'd i have to not be home the one time she is?
all that left my mind when i heard dd walk into the dorm with micah. now that i couldn't leave my room, i decided to try n look for what was making my room smell like jeffery dahmers refrigerator.
after searching and cleaning for a while, i found a DEAD RAT GETTIN A TAN ON MY WINDOW SHELF.
Y/N: "AAAAAAAAAH"
dd quickly rushed into my room with micah
DD: "wha happened??"
Y/N: "DEY GOT RODENTS IN DIS SHIT"
MICAH: "ouu.. dont touch that y/n"
Y/N: "NIGGA IS YOU OUT YO LIGHTSKIN MIND?"
DD: "go in my room y/n, i'll go find somebody ta sort it out without y'all gettin rabies"
i picked up my phone from my bed and went into dd's room while they went to find a janitor.
i love that dd cares again, and i want it to stay that way. but i couldnt stop thinking about what ddot said. we DO need to talk it out. without making everything else akward.
