Chapter 17

“This study lounge should be year round.” Nicole takes a bite of pizza, and with a full mouth, she says, “I’m just saying, just to have it during finals week is a tease.”

I grab a few bite size candy bars and stash them in my purse. “A few snacks for later when I actually study.” I wink at Jennifer and Nicole.

Jennifer laughs. “That’s what this study lounge is for, shame on us for not even bringing a damn notebook.” She shakes her head as she nibbles on chips and salsa. She pats her thighs and says, “This shit isn’t good for my girlish figure.”

Nicole leans over the table. “Look, our bodyguards, coming this way.”

The three of them post up around the table. “Damn, we thought y’all dropped out.” The tallest one says with a deep voice, “It’s been a minute since we last saw you. What’s good?”

“It has been a minute. What type of friends are y’all though? Didn’t even check up on us,” Jennifer says, laughing.

They all look at each other. “Damn, we’re slipping.” The tallest one crosses his arms. “But shit … last I checked my phone, we didn’t have a call from you checking on us either.”

Shit, they sound a little bitter. “You’re right.” I gently smile. “We all need to do better next semester.”

“Fa’sho. Y’all ready for Christmas?”

Nicole answers before we can even think. “Hell yeah. I need a break to just re-lax.”

We all look at her; she says relax like she has been doing manual labor all semester. I guess when you fuck for a hobby it gets like that.

One of the guys looks around the study lounge, then nudges his friend. “Y’all ready?”

“Yeah. Ladies, it’s been real. We’ll catch y’all next semester.”

Nicole and I smile and wave. Then I say, “Have a good break.”

Jennifer stops them before they walk away. “Next semester we’ll do better.” The guys nod their heads and walk away.

On our way back to the room, I look at Nicole. “Nicole, what was up with your response? Sounds like you are too ready for break.”

“It’s been a good semester, but I’ve been a little out of control. I need this break to get it together and come back next semester a new girl.”

I wasn’t expecting that response. “Wow, Nicole. Like they say, the first step is admitting you have a problem.”

Nicole rolls her eyes. “Hush.”

“Really though, Nicole, I’m glad you are going to settle down next semester. You’ve definitely done more this semester than most do in their entire four years.”

“Shut up, Laila. Damn. I know I’ve been wild. But thank God I’ve been spared from getting pregnant, hurt, and hopefully, any diseases.” Her eyes grow wide. “I guess I took enjoy your college years a little too seriously.”

“I’m not judging at all. To each her own.” I shrug.

As we settle into their room, I catch Jennifer in a daze. “Jennifer, are you okay? You don’t look like you are here with us.”

“My bad y’all. I’m just thinking about some things.
