Azaryah above

"Azaryah please don't tell me you're still in that bed sleeping! Today is your big day!" my mom yelled

"No ma I'm not." I said raising up from my bed, groaning I looked at my alarm clock it was seven o'clock in the morning and a Sunday. I couldn't be upset though cause today was finally the day I was off to college. I was heading off to Howard University, no more strict parents, and me and my boyfriend were going to finally have so much freedom."

"Azaryah come get breakfast!" I quickly got out of bed and ran downstairs.

"Morning mom." I said kissing my mom on the cheek. "Where's dad?" I asked before I sat down at the table.

"He got called into work." I just nod my head. I knew where my dad was and it wasn't at work, probably at some bar drinking his life away. Lately, my mom and dad been fighting everyday since my dad got his doctor license suspended. My mom is making him feel like he is a piece of shit, like he lost his job forever. The only reason I knew about it because I overheard them arguing, that's how much they argued. I don't know why they were keeping this away from me. I was their only child.

"Will dad be there at the airport?" Before she could reply the doorbell. I answered and it was Simone.

"Azaryah, I can't believe you're really leaving me today, I'm going to miss you!" said Simone.

Simone was my best friend since middle school, we had each other back through everything. We were the complete opposite, many questioned our relationship. She was loud and a party animal and me well I kept to myself , I rather spend a Saturday night watching movies that make me cry.(Almost every movie made me cry)

"Simone, stop you're going to make me cry." I was a cry baby I had to admit.

"You want some breakfast?" I asked as we walked into the kitchen

"Do I? Girl that's the main reason I'm here." she said laughing

---------

I felt like I was about to cry we were outside the airport and I was going to miss my parents and Simone so much. I can't believe I was going to be in a whole different state now. I spent my whole life in Houston, Texas and now I'm leaving.

"Azaryah come here, now baby girl you be good down there in D.C I don't want you fooling around , make us proud." Said my dad.

"I will dad. I'm going to miss you." He kissed me on the cheek and joined my mom who was crying her eyes out.

"Aza, oh my gosh have fun and don't get a new best friend. Tell me how your new roommate is. Find me a boyfriend down there if you can. I'm going to miss you so much!" We pulled into a tight hug and cried for a good minute.

"Don't forget to call when you land baby!" my mom yelled as me and simone broke apart.

" I won't. Bye guys, I love yall!"

I walked inside the airport and I saw Omar, suddenly I became happy I wiped my tears and and ran towards him. Omar was my boyfriend since freshman year and girl he was the finest piece of the thing.

"Baby , bro this is really happening. We going to be on our own. Finally in college and we can chill without sneaking out all the times"

"I know! I'm so happy. Now let's go check in before we miss our flight."

We made it through baggage claim, security, and finally made our way into the plane. It was only a 3-hour flight so I decided to sleep through the fight. By the time I woke up we were in Washington, D.C, it felt so surreal, everything I've dreamed of was here.

Me and Omar caught a cab and headed towards Howard University.

"Bae,we really here. Aye...Let's go to to your dorm-"

"Omar!" I said slapping him on his chest

"What? If you had let me finish what I was trying to say I was talking about going to your dorm and get your things set up. You little freak, but we can do that to"

"Boy shut up" We reached my dorm and it was so cute. When we walked in it was the living room and the kitchen then father in the dorm was two rooms one on each end. I walked into the room closer towards the door.

"I'm guessing you find a room?" I turned around and it was some pretty light skin girl, I'm guessing she was my roommate.

"You must be Briana?" I asked

"Yes girl I am but you can call me Bri, you my roomie right?" She said overly excited. Looks like we're going to get along.

"Yeah, I'm Azaryah and this my boyfriend Omar." Omar gave her small head nod.

"He is a cutie, lucky you snatched him up before I did." Bri whispered in my ear giggling. Looks like I'm going to have to keep a close eye on her.  "Well, I'm going to go get the rest of my things." She said leaving the room

"Well your roommate looks fun. I hope I don't have some creepy ol' nigga."

We carried all the rest of my belongings to my room, decorated it and it came out pretty cute.

It was now 9 at night. Omar stayed for awhile, then went towards his dormitory. I called my parents and my mom was still crying that I left. I facetimed Simone and it looked like she was having a good time at her school in San Antonio. Her roommate seemed a little strange, Simone was already trying to get a request to change roommates. I went in the living room and it was quiet, I guess Bri was already asleep. I decided I will get to know her later, I went to my room and slept.
