“Just a few days before our first day of college, you excited?” Omari asked looking over at his girlfriend of one year and best-friend of seven.
“Yeah…I guess.” Dominique mumbled looking out the window
“Baby please don’t be like that, I know you wanted to go to UNC but USC is a really good school too.”
“Omari I could care less about the education because I’m going to get one regardless, I just had my heart set on being a Tar Heel ever since I can remember. Playing soccer for them was a dream and now I’m going to be playing for a school who isn’t even ranked. So could you please let me sit over here and mope?” she asked looking over at him.
Omari let out a sigh as he got off on the very next exit. He pulled off to the side and put the car in park.
“And in other NCAA sports related news Christopher Brown has officially been taken off of U of A’s roster. This is a complete shocker to the college basketball world! A definite shoe-in for the NBA has literally disappeared off the face of the planet. We’ve tried reaching out to the university but…”
Omari cut the radio off and looked to Dominique.
“Babe forgive me if I’m trying to put you in a better mood, but USC was the best choice for me. I swear to God I appreciate the sacrifice you made to be with me. But sweetie I want to go pro and this was the very best way.”
“Omari you were the number one running back in the nation, you put every single personal stat and national record to shame. You could’ve went to a school that had a class size of only the football team and you’d still get drafted!” Dominique explained irritated.
“But you’re the number one midfielder in the nation, so why not put your skills to use and get USC ranked?”
“Please leave my ego be.” She said rolling her eyes.
“What I gotta do to make you happy?”
“Keep driving and let me adjust to this at my own pace.” She said reaching in the back to grab a pillow.
Omari watched her turn in her seat towards the window while snuggling up to the pillow. He sat there for a second and let the guilt eat at him. She was right, he could’ve went to any school especially UNC who was also throwing offers at him, and he would’ve been drafted. He knew she knew he was bulls***ting her about great opportunities. In all honesty he wanted to move from the country. Austin was cool but not where he wanted to be, he wanted the glitz and glam the City of Angels had to offer. He wanted that celebrity feeling he knew he’d get playing for USC. He wanted her right there by his side to experience it with him. Two national number ones on one another’s arm would’ve been a good look for them. Constantly on Sports Center, sharing the cover of ESPN and Sports Illustrated magazine, the sky was the limit for this power couple. But above all else he loved her and couldn’t imagine them an entire country apart from one another. Omari would’ve absolutely died if she were to fall in love with another man, especially if it were his fault and selfishness had anything to do with it.
“Baby” he said reaching over and touching her shoulder.
“What Omari?” she grumbled half asleep into the pillow.
“Come to the back with me.” He said unbuckling his seatbelt and moving to the back of his Range Rover.
She rolled her eyes as she did as he requested. Omari was leaning up against the window with his legs stretched out and Dominique climbed in between them and laid up against his chest. They sat there for a few minutes in silence.
“Dominique I love you with all my heart baby and it’s killing me that you’re unhappy because of a decision I made and begged you to make. I need you sweetheart, I mean I could do this without you but nowhere near my fullest potential. I’d probably get my scholarship pulled from how horrible I’d be playing.”
“It’s ok Omari, I just need some time to adjust. I’m sure I’ll be happy here, I just have to get over the fact that my mascot is a damn condom.”
“It’s not a condom baby, it’s a Trojan.” Omari said laughing.
“Well when I think of Trojan I think of the condom.”
“I don’t see how.” Omari joked grinning.
“Just cause I don’t f*** don’t mean I don’t watch TV Ishmael. All of those ridiculous commercials it’s hard not to notice.” She said irritated.
“I’m just kidding baby, chill with the Ishmael.” He laughed again knowing that he was upsetting her from her use of his middle name.
“Whatever, so why we back here anyways?”
“Multiple reasons main one being that I just wanted to hold you for a little while. Secondly I’m a little tired from all the driving.”
“Who wanted to drive though?”
“Me but I just wanted to spend more time with you on this little road trip. If I’d of known you would’ve been acting like this I would’ve had my s*** shipped too and dealt with you on that short ass flight.” Omari teased through laughs.
Dominique quickly spun around in his arms and kept hitting him in his arms and chest. Omari was laughing the whole time while trying to contain her arms.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I was just kidding baby.” He said still laughing.
“You play too damn much.” She laughed straddling his lap.
“But you still love me so deal with it.” He said leaning forward with his hands on her hips.
“Keep it up with that smart ass mouth of yours and I’ll be loving you from North Carolina.”
“Don’t play babe.” Omari said getting serious and making Dominique laugh even more.
He knew this to be true because just the day before they left UNC was calling her to make sure that she was completely sure about her decision.
“Now it’s your turn to stop tripping cause you know I ain’t leaving you.”
“You bet not break my heart like that.” Omari said leaning forward kissing her lips that were formed into a smile.
After a sweet make-out session the two sat there holding one another, having meaningless conversation and sharing laughs. The two were content with one another’s presence.
“Ok you, it’s time to go.” Dominique said getting off of his lap and making her way to the passenger seat.
“But I was enjoying myself.” Omari complained from the back.
“I was too but we gotta go baby, we’re only 6 hours or so out.”
“You say it like it’s not a long time.” Omari said making his way to the driver’s seat.
“It’s not” she said snuggling back up to her pillow but this time facing Omari.
“That’s because you’re not driving.” Omari huffed.
“Then maybe you should’ve listened when I told you we should fly.” She teased laughing.
“f*** you man” Omari laughed.
“Maybe one day.” She grinned.
Omari nodded his head while gazing at her.
“Given your past I know that this must be hard for you, but I really do appreciate your efforts and how patient you’re being with me.”
“It’s nothing ma, I love you and if you want to wait to make love then I’m willing to wait until you’re ready. Even if you want to wait these next four years until we get married I’ll gladly do it.” Omari smiled meaning every word he said.
“Trust me it won’t be that long.”
“No?” he smiled.
She smiled back and shook her head no.
“Can I get a round about time frame so I know when I need to be ready?”
“Nope, it’ll just have to be a surprise. Hold up…what you mean be ready?”
“Well I don’t want to disappoint you so I’ve been practicing to keep myself up to par. High five!” Omari said reaching out with his right hand.
“Eww baby that’s gross.” Dominique laughed shoving his hand away.
“No it’s not, that s*** is natural.” Omari said putting the truck in drive.
(((7 Hours Later)))
The two arrived in Los Angeles and looked around impressed with what they saw. Omari followed the directions his navigation gave to the USC campus. They pulled up in front of a building that the navigation led them to and out front were a few students. They looked older as if they’d been attending for at least a year or two. They held a certain presence about them that screamed confidence. Only a few things could give off that feeling without words, popularity, money, or athletes. In this case it was all three. Omari rushed around to the other side of his truck to help Dominique out.
“Omari Grandberry and Dominique DeLorme it’s a pleasure to finally have you here.” One of the guys greeted smiling, descending the steps.

Comments
CHRIS IS IN DA BUILDING!!! lol Omari is asking for an ass whippin. Chris finna take Domo and she dont even know it lol. She speakin the truth to him. Just be yourself not wo someone wants you to be it aint gon get you nowhere. I love the post. Run It
Now that I have read... I can say That's the end of my break...
Back to this assignment
That's what u get Omari! Thinking u all that
Maurice is too cute
Dominique... This girl is amazing... She my bestfriend in this story
FINALLY got it right! Holla at ya girl, let me know what you're thinking.
“Ok Dominique you’ve had enough fun.” Mrs. Parker said trying to protect Omari.
“I’ve also had enough of you not taking care of this new student.”
“I suggest you sit down Ms. DeLorme.”
“I suggest you do your job Mrs. Parker.” Dominique said not backing down. “Or maybe you’d rather go upstairs and go get Omari’s bag for him?” Dominique asked taking her seat.
“One more outburst out of you Ms. DeLorme and you can leave my class.”
“I seriously doubt that, check him in and get back on your job.”
She knew not to mess with Dominique. Actually the entire faculty knew not to mess with her because it was no secret that the Dean favored her more than any other student on campus. So if they had a problem with Dominique then they had a problem with the Dean.
“We’re gonna talk after class Dominique.”
“No…we’re not” Dominique replied never breaking eye contact, while shaking her head from side to side.
Mrs. Parker rolled her eyes as the class giggled.
“Here you go Maurice.” She said handing the paper back to him.
“Thank you” he said taking the paper and turning around to look for a seat.
“Hey you, come keep me company.” Dominique said smiling.
“Ok” he agreed trying to contain his smile which in turn made Dominique giggle.
“Dominique” she said offering her hand.
“Maurice” he smiled widely taking her hand.
“Nice to meet you.” She said pulling her hand back.
“Yeah…you too.” He said stuck in a daze.
He looked away from her when he felt his cheeks begin to flush.
“You’re too cute.” She giggled.
“Look at that faggot, he can’t even look at her.” Omari said taking his seat after collecting his belongings.
“Most niggas can’t look at her O.” Shaffer said correcting him.
“I don’t know why, to be honest all she has is pretty eyes, a pretty face, and a nice body.”
“That’s not what you were saying a few weeks ago while you were crying.” Trey added.
“Shut up nigga!” Omari said completely turning in his seat.
“Calm down homie, didn’t mean to hit a soft spot.” He said not looking at him.
Trey and Shaffer both felt the need to compensate for the way they’d been acting by checking Omari. Dominique’s words had hit home and their eyes immediately opened to the fact that they too were acting just like Dominique said everyone would act. They felt weak for conforming to Omari’s ego and allowing themselves to become some sort of macho jocks that felt the need to be a**holes just because someone else was doing it and everyone else allowed it. Once class ended Dominique had her new friend following her so she could walk with him and get to know him.
“Oops” Dominique said kicking the book Omari was trying to put in his backpack out of his hand. “Sorry” she said not looking back.
“Quit your s*** Dominique!” Omari shouted.
“I said oops so that means it was an accident.” She giggled as Maurice chuckled.
Once the two got outside all eyes were on Maurice. People were pointing, giggling, and chuckling but quickly stopped when Dominique looked in their direction.
“Just ignore them.” She said looking up at Maurice with soft eyes.
“I think as long as you’re with me I’ll be ok. It seems like you…scare them. They look at me, then you, then away.”
“For good reason too.” She smiled up at him.
“So…is it safe to say…I mean would it be ok if I called you…my friend?”
“Absolutely Maurice”
“Really?” he asked shocked.
“Yeah, you seem surprised.” She giggled enjoying his reaction.
“Because you’re so pretty.”
“Just because I happen to be appealing to the eye to some doesn’t mean I can’t be a good person right? And I’m not all that pretty honestly, I just have different colored eyes than most people.” She explained honestly.
“Well I happen to think it’s more than your eyes and I haven’t met a girl as pretty as you that’s as nice as you. You stood up for me against everyone including the professor, you didn’t have to do that.”
“Oh yes I did, because that s*** wasn’t cool and most of these people on this campus are cruel and follow the crowd.”
“Why do they all stare at me?”
“Honestly,” she giggled. “you stand out a little bit.”
“It’s the glasses huh?” he asked sounding sad.
“No sweetie you just have a mixture of a lot of different styles, some not so much rocked anymore.”
“Well to be honest I was just trying to fit in, I thought this would be cool.”
“Don’t try to fit in, just be you because these people are clueless as to who they are so they do what they think other people want to see. Instead of just being themselves and evolving into their own person, they run around confused looking like fools. Then just like high school after you’re done and graduated no one gives a f*** what you did or what you wore because it has absolutely no effect on the real life we’re guaranteed to experience on our own.”
“I see, well then I don’t want to stand out so much. Could you help me?”
“Only if you promise me that you’re doing it for you and not an image you think others will accept you for.”
“No it’s for me, I don’t have very much money though. Not at the moment at least.”
“Don’t worry I got homies that work at a few of the malls out here. I’ll get you all kinds of discounts.”
“Is this some sort of joke?” Maurice asked.
“What?”
“The way you’re being so nice, are you just messing with me?”
“You give me one good reason as to why I would do that.”
“Because you think it’s funny.”
“f***ing with people in the way you think I might be doing isn’t funny, especially when you don’t know them. I have no clue what you’re capable of doing, plus I don’t judge. So your sense of fashion needs a little help, that’s an easy fix. I’m usually a pretty good judge of character and so far I think you’re an alright guy.”
“No one thinks I’m an alright guy.”
“Well I do, now come have some lunch with me.”
The two walked inside a dining hall and grabbed a table after they got what they wanted to eat.
Omar u punk! Dominique should have punched his lights out
RunIt!!!
The add isn't complete, something is f***ing up....let me restart my computer and I'll add the rest in literally a few short minutes.
“Hey guys” she said after opening the door and jogging back into the kitchen.
“Well f*** Dominique!” Shaffer said looking around very impressed.
“This s*** is nice as hell!” Trey said looking around.
“Thanks and Zoe don’t start getting any attitudes cause I didn’t ask for any of this s***.” She joked.
They all laughed as they made their way into the kitchen.
“Matter of fact the Dean left me down in the cell just so they could decorate.”
“Speaking of being in a cell, how’d you manage to get out without any charges being pressed against you?” Trey asked.
“The Dean, she got my back because she wants championships and thinks that I was meant to come to USC to learn life lessons or some s***. She said something about karma and that the universe is pretty much going to repay me for being a good person in a s***ty situation. The woman is crazy I tell you. She was right about one thing though, if I would’ve been given the opportunity to leave I would’ve left and all that says about my character is that I run from my problems. She’s still nutty in my book though.”
“No she just cares, she sees something in you.” Shaffer said.
“And how would you know this?”
“(chuckling) She’s my Aunt’s best-friend.”
“You didn’t have anything to do with me staying here did you?” Dominique asked with a raised eyebrow and squinted eyes.
“No, I tried but she made me turn right back as soon as she saw me. She knew I was there to speak about you and she had already had her mind set as to what she was gonna do. I honestly didn’t know she was gonna do all this for you.” He said looking around.
“And how were you just gonna leave the team? I thought we had a pretty good bond.”
“We did, well we do it’s just that it wasn’t about anyone but me and my sanity. What Omari did was really f***ed up and to do what he did after dragging me to this school that I didn’t want to attend, I had it set in my mind that I just needed to leave. I’m here now though and I’ve made friends and I’ve got to know my team. I really do like all of you, I was being selfish yet at the same time you really do have to understand that I had no intentions of hurting anyone.”
“So you’re gonna stay?” Zoe smiled hugging her.
“I don’t have a choice.” Dominique laughed.
“Why?” Trey asked.
“Because short of setting the school on fire, shooting it up, or calling in a bomb threat the Dean isn’t going to let me go. And all of those other options will get me out of here but they’ll land me right in prison. Kind of counterproductive don’t ya think?” she said turning back towards the food.
“You know that nigga is really sorry though right?” Shaffer asked.
“I know a lot of things Shaffer. I know that he is sorry, I also know that he’ll be waiting twice as long for me to give him some because I don’t trust him and he’ll probably end up giving in again. You know what else I know? That he’s probably somewhere wallowing in his own pity with a bottle to keep him company, in a week or two he’ll be f***ing again, in two to three weeks he’ll be f***ing everything that moves, and in three to four anyone with some sense who isn’t there to kiss his ass will only be able to deal with him in increments. He’s gonna get a big head about himself because the groupies are gonna come flocking in masses, students will be on his d*** for being so great at football, radio and tv stations gonna be hopping on his jock, and he’s gonna turn into a pompous, arrogant, d***head that feels he actually deserves all of everyone’s attention and more because he’s so great. He was like that in high school a little bit but never ever towards me. He treated me like a queen and everyone else like peasants because they let him. So be aware of the changes.”
“Will you ever forgive him?” Trey asked.
“Probably, but no time soon. Not in the next few days, weeks, months or even this year. What he did as a best-friend and boyfriend is honestly unforgivable. But I’m sure we’ll both grow and mature and we’ll be able to put this behind us.”
“So you’d get back with him?” Zoe asked.
“I ain’t say all that, I just know that I’ll someday remember that he was an amazing friend before anything and I’m sure he’ll realize the same. As for a relationship, no I don’t think so.”
“And you’re not gonna leave us right?”
“No Zoe,” she smiled “I ain’t going nowhere.”
(((2 Hours Later)))
“Where ya’ll at?” Trey asked getting in Shaffer’s passenger seat.
“We over in my dorm now.” Shad replied with a slurred speech.
“Cool we on the way.” Trey said before hanging up. “So what’s up with you and Zoe?”
“Nothing man” Shaffer replied pulling out of the parking space.
“Yeah ok, I seen the way you were looking at her tonight.”
“I could say the same about you.” He said looking over at Trey with accusing eyes.
“Nigga please, that girl is fine so I’ma look at her.”
“I can understand that, but I don’t look at Dominique the way you look at her.”
“Man whatever, just go over to Shad’s.” he said while turning the music up.
“What up fellas?” Shad said dapping Shaffer and Trey up.
“Ain’t s***, just enjoying this slice of cheesecake Dom made.” Trey said cutting small slices and feeding himself.
“Slice?! Nigga that’s half the pie!” Shad said looking at the large portion on the plate he was holding.
“Shut up she said I could have it.” He said plopping down on the couch.
“So how’s Dominique doing?” Omari asked leaning his head back on the couch, eyes damn near closed.
“Honestly?” Trey asked before Shaffer went upside his head.
“I don’t need him to be sensitive to my feelings Shaffer.” Omari assured him.
“See, so honestly she’s doing just fine. That girl is getting over this faster than I’ve ever seen anyone get over any really f***ed up situation. It’s not normal.”
“That’s because she’s not normal (hiccup) Dominique isn’t a normal female.” He said closing his eyes. “She doesn’t dwell on the fact that we had an amazing 7 years, she doesn’t think about any what ifs, and she’s not gonna put herself in a position where she might fail again. She’s down for second chances with people, but not with people who knew better, that knew her too good, and not the people who knew better than to betray her trust which is exactly what I did. Thanks for the information Trey, cause now it’s time for me to work harder at moving on cause I’ll never get her back.” Omari said just before he passed out.
(((1 Month Later)))
Dominique’s predictions had become reality in the eyes of Shaffer and Trey. Omari had turned into an official d***head that indeed f***ed anyone with a pretty face and nice body. They let a lot of the s*** he did slide and just went with the flow. Dominique remained focused in her schooling and soccer. She had most of her classes with Omari changed except for two which wasn’t a problem for her because she always sat right up front and he always hated to, secondly because after the first semester was over she’d be able to switch the other two. At this time she was already seated in her seat getting her book out and writing material.
“Ok class let’s settle down.” Mrs. Parker said hushing the students.
“Yes ma’am” Omari said loudly in a seductive tone, while grabbing himself.
“Very cute Mr. Grandberry.” She giggled.
The door at the top of the class opened and in came the epitome of a nerd. He was wearing a black skull cap, huge black seeing glasses, a yellow plaid shirt, khaki pants with one pant leg rolled up to his knee, black suspenders holding his pants up, black socks, and some black and white high top chucks. Everyone began to snicker, chuckle, and giggle. Even Dominique, but only because he looked so adorable in her eyes. She could tell he was only trying to fit in but failed miserably.
“Um HI!” he shouted. “Are you Mrs. Parker?” he continued to yell from the top, voice cracking every other word, looking down at his schedule.
“Yes” she said trying to contain her laughter. “Come give me your schedule so I can put you in the system.”
“Oh…OK!” he shouted again, making his way down the stairs.
People were laughing and pointing at him with every step he took. When he got 5 rows from where the teacher was waiting Omari put his foot out and tripped him. He stumbled down two steps, landed on his knee on the third, tried to catch himself on the last two steps, but both arms buckled.
“Oh my God!” Dominique said shooting out of her seat and grabbing him by his left bicep and right shoulder before his face could hit the ground.
She laid him on the ground as gently as possible because he was quite heavy.
“Are you ok?” she asked kneeling on one knee trying her best to help him up.
“Yes…yes I’m fine.” He said squinting searching around for his glasses.
“Oh sweetie they’re broken.” She said grabbing his glasses.
“It’s alright, I have another pair in my bag.” He said searching for that too.
Dominique quickly grabbed it and handed it to him then began gathering his books and papers. Seeing as his backpack wasn’t all the way closed a few things came flying out of it. He pulled out another pair of glasses exactly like the ones he was wearing only they were taped up in the middle of his frames.
“Wow” he said after getting a good look at her. “I mean thank you.” He corrected himself, taking his things from her.
“No problem” she smiled as they stood up together.
When he went to walk past her she snapped her gaze right on Omari, Trey, Shad, and Shaffer. She walked up those few steps to the overly entertained men.
“Real f***ing funny a**hole, you could’ve hurt him.”
“Oh well huh?”
“I expect childish s*** out of you but really Shaffer? Tremaine?” she said looking at both of them individually, causing them to stop laughing immediately. “Remember those d*** riders I told you that seem to bow down to his ass? Well guess who looks like a bunch of groupies? Shad sorry homie but you’re immature and I really don’t expect much of you. But you two…” she said pointing at them. “You should be ashamed of yourselves. That s*** wasn’t funny.”
“You should be ashamed of yourselves.” Omari mocked chuckling, only getting a rise out of Shad.
“Why don’t you go fetch b****.” Dominique said grabbing Omari’s book off his desk and slinging it across the room.
“f*** you Dominique!” Omari said shooting to his feet getting in her face.
“I wish the f*** you would nigga.” She smirked meaning every word.
Omari growled as he walked past her, down the steps, and shoulder bumping the new student on his way across the class.
“Since you wanna continue being a d*** then let me show you the same courtesy.” Dominique said grabbing his backpack and slinging it all the way across the class, in the opposite direction, and all the way up the stairs.
“Ok Dominique you’ve had enough fun.” Mrs. Parkerseathe

There you ladies go, ENJOY! If I get enough responses I'll probably add again tonight. So silent readers help out with a simple Run It.
“Mind taking a stroll with me to my office?”
“Not at all Dean, lead the way.”
Once again all eyes were on her. Walking with the Dean, from the security station, and blood present on her shirt, shorts and boots definitely caught the attention of everyone standing around. When they turned another corner Dominique saw most of the football team and her soccer team. They all had the same sad look on their face, half felt sorry for her and the other half were mad that she was about to get kicked out of school.
“Can I offer you something to drink?” The Dean asked as she took her seat.
“Sure, I’ll have some of whatever is in that bottle over there.”
“Help yourself, show Nicki in.” she said pressing the intercom button.
When Dominique was done pouring her drink she spun around to see Nicki limping past towards the chair in front of the Dean’s desk.
“Well hot damn, I think I did a pretty decent job.” Dominique giggled staring at Nicki.
Nicki had stitches above her right eyebrow, on her chin, and a few going along her jaw. She had a black right eye and a purple left eye. Her nose still held dried blood and there was a butterfly band-aid holding the cut on her nose closed. Her mouth was busted and swollen, and the left side of her cheek looked like she had a jumbo sized jawbreaker resting in it. Her left arm was in a cast which was resting in a sling and her right pinky was placed in a metal splint to keep it from further injury. It only took a few threats by the Dean to get her to come in to discuss the issue at hand.
“Keep looking at me stupid and see if I don’t rearrange the Dean’s office with your body.”
Nicki quickly looked away.
“So what happened today?” the Dean asked.
“Well Dean to the best of my knowledge I taught this lil hoe a lesson by beating the breaks off her ass for making me mad. Disrespect is something we don’t condone in my family. So I felt free to show her and anyone else with the bright idea to f*** with me. I completely understand the consequences of my actions and am fully prepared to accept them ma’am.”
“Well Dominique what you did was a serious offense. Off the record though, knowing the situation I must say that you were let off easy Nicki.”
“Let off easy?! Look at my face Dean!” Nicki said as best she could because her jaw was so swollen.
“Are you not sitting in front of me speaking?”
“Yeah!”
“Then like I said, off the record, you were let off easy. What you did to your fellow Trojan is unforgivable and also not your first time engaging in a sexual act publicly on campus grounds. And that is strictly prohibited. But if I bust you for that this time then we’ll lose our star halfback. So once again I’ll let it slide. As for you Ms. DeLorme your actions are grounds for immediate expulsion. There is no way around it, especially since you were caught on school cameras and most of the students that witnessed it firsthand also recorded this encounter with their cellphone. I’m positively sure that the entire school has seen what happened today.”
“No need to further explain Dean, I understand I’m as good as gone. I won’t cause you any further problems, I’ll leave campus immediately.” Dominique said standing from her seat.
“But” the Dean said stopping Dominique’s movements, causing her to sit back down slowly.
“But what?”
“Like I said earlier not only have I seen what occurred today but so did the entire school, there is no covering this up.”
Nicki sat back and grinned as best she could, crossing her good arm over her busted arm.
“So where’s the but Dean?”
“But there’s no need for any kind of disciplinary actions to be carried out because from what I saw you were only defending yourself. Nicki pushed you first.”
“What?!” Dominique and Nicki said in unison.
“Dean this is bulls***! She attacked me! She brutally beat me and you’re just going to send her on her way?! No f*** that! I want her gone!”
“And I want some soccer championships and more football championships. If I bust her then I’m definitely busting you and if I bust you then I have to bust Mr. Grandberry and I’ll be damned if I lose two nationally rated athletes on account of you. Please excuse yourself.”
“Ugh! This is so not fair! I swear to God you won’t get away with this.” Nicki said standing in front of Dominique pointing in her face.
Dominique grabbed her by her finger and bent it until she heard a pop.
“b**** I’ll break your f***ing hand next, I suggest you listen to the Dean and excuse yourself.”
Nicki quickly exited the office crying nursing her newly broken finger.
“So that’s why you’re keeping me here? For some f***ing championships?”
“That’s one of the reasons, another one being that you’re a smart little cookie. I mean who really would’ve thought to pour water on themselves to guarantee not getting tased.”
“Someone that understands electricity and knows that the security guards don’t carry guns on this campus.”
“You’re a bright young lady with an even brighter future ahead of you. I understand why you want to leave I really do, but I just can’t let that happen. This is a life lesson and if you go away to attend a college across the country you won’t learn from this. All you’ll be teaching yourself is how to run away from issues. I know you’re walking around with a broken heart, but kiddo you’re only 18. You’ll get over this and you will have earned so much respect from others and even have some trying to emulate you.”
“How’d you know I….”
“I’ve got ears everywhere.” The Dean smirked.
“Whatever…but Dean….I ain’t even wanna be here in the first place.”
“I know, but you’re here now. How do you know this wasn’t your destiny to attend this institution? What if something great or amazing is coming your way but the only way for you to get it was for you to be here? I’ve done my homework on you and you’re a good person, beautiful inside and out. This minor setback is nothing more than a blessing in disguise because something good is coming your way.”
“You’re either really religious or you read too deeply into that zodiac stuff.”
“No I believe in karma, good or bad, what goes around comes around.”
“If you say so Dean.”
“While you’re already on the road to bouncing back from this, Mr. Grandberry is still walking around with an even bigger broken heart and he’ll continue to do so for quite some time. He’ll get into his little phase where it seems like he doesn’t care anymore, but it’s all a façade. He’ll do extra things to get your attention while he’s still in his I don’t give a damn and I don’t need you phase. He’ll still have a broken heart and carry that regret around with him for a very long time, probably even for the rest of his life.”
“How do you figure?”
“Off the record?”
“Of course”
“Because years and years ago I was in Omari’s same shoes. I messed up, he moved on to someone wonderful, and after all this time I still carry around that burden of regret. I managed to move on but it just wasn’t the same. He was a good man and while I was cursed by karma he was blessed by it with a new companion who loved him like I did, maybe even a little more. I was young, living the life. You’ll find someone else and he’ll constantly be reminded of how stupid he was every time he sees you and him…or her.” The Dean giggled.
“Hey! None of that.”
“You never know, this IS college you know.”
“Well that’s one thing I do know. Look Dean I’d love to sit up here and continue this little pep talk but I got some s*** I gotta handle.”
“Like what? Maybe I can help.”
“Well you are the Dean, I need a place to stay.”
“Done, your things are actually already in your new room. It’s got its own bathrooms, kitchen, dining area, living room area, and you already have all of the amenities all set up. Cable, internet, pots, pans, cups, all that stuff and a fully stocked fridge, freezer, and pantry full of all your favorite things to eat. We had it fully furnished with brand new things while you were taking a nap in the slammer. It’s on campus and even though it’s a two bedroom suite the other one won’t be rented out to anyone unless you say otherwise. It’s our nicest dorm and not very many people live there. It’s quite expensive and hard to get in, but we hold a few just for students like you.”
“How’d you…”
“The condo complex notified me that they hadn’t seen you in days then they also informed me of a moving company going into your old condo. So you were really gonna leave huh?”
“Yeah, guess the only thing I got left is make it to my last class and call UNC back.”
“I’ll have someone notify UNC that you will not be attending their institution because you were unsuccessful at having your scholarship pulled or your contract ripped up. I’ll be sure to throw in the fact that you did try very hard and the evidence of your efforts can already be found on YouTube. You have over four hundred thousand hits last I checked.”
“Thanks” Dominique said grabbing her bag, a manila folder the Dean was handing her, and walked out putting the envelope in her backpack.
Once she got outside she drug her hands down her face then placed them on her hips as she looked around.
“Karma my f***ing ass, that woman is nuts.” She said walking across the school with her hands in her pockets.
She was in a daze, she didn’t know whether to listen to the Dean and try to ride this thing out or if she should do her own thing and try to figure out another way to get kicked out.
“Damnit Dominique stop ignoring us!” Zoe shouted.
Dominique turned around and saw Zoe, a few of their team mates, Shaffer, Trey, Shad, and Omari lagging in the back.
“I’m sorry I’m just really out of it right now. What’s up?”
“You tell us.” Shaffer said crossing his arms over his chest.
“I don’t really have the time right now, I gotta get to class but I promise I’ll explain everything later.”
“Wait, hold up, what you mean class?” Zoe asked all smiles.
“Like class…you know….chairs, tables, a professor, maybe a few students. Class.”
“No s*** but why are you going to class?”
“Cause it’s time for me to.”
“Stop being a smart ass.” Trey grinned.
“Nothing happened, all that work I put in was for nothing. Yes I was trying to get kicked out of school and apparently they want championships more than they want to abide by the rules.” She shrugged.
“But seriously ya’ll (looking down at her watch) I gotta go.” She said taking a few steps back before turning around.
“At least tell us how the Dean managed to make this happen.”
“Nicki pushed me first and I guess she felt I was only defending myself. Bye guys.” She said turning back around and walking away.
Omari jogged off past them and up to Dominique.
“Dom, please talk to me.” He begged taking a hold of her right elbow.
Dominique didn’t hesitate to crack Omari in the jaw. He stumbled back holding his face then turned his attention back to her.
“First of all don’t ever touch me again, secondly you have nothing to say to me and if you choose to talk to or touch me I’m going across your jaw every f***ing time, lastly but definitely not least I’ll get away with it and eventually if you don’t take the hint I’ll just break it and have your mouth wired shut so you’ll at least stop with any kind of verbal communication.”
“Don’t be like this Dominique! It was a mistake and I swear to God and on my life I’ll never do it again. I love you so much baby, I realized my mistake while I was doing it and didn’t even finish.”
“Damn shame….so you threw our relationship away over a professional hoe and didn’t even bust a nut? What a f***ing waste! Now you’re weak and stupid and very single. Bye.”
“But I love you Dominique, doesn’t that mean anything to you?”
“If you knew how little I cared about how you felt I guarantee you would’ve gave up on this stupid f***ing issue.”
“It’s not stupid.”
“Why am I still here?” she asked throwing her hands up in the air.
She went to turn but saw Omari motioning towards her.
“No Omari” she said spinning back around, face to face with him, no more than 4 inches away from one another. “I despise you, this is one time you will not get your way no matter how much you cry, kick, scream, or say I love you because I honestly do not care. Move on, get a new life, and leave me the f*** alone.”
The more Omari stared into her eyes the more he wanted to cry because from knowing her so well he knew that she was dead serious. He let a tear slide down his face just to see if there was some sort of reaction out of her, because if there was then he still had the tiniest bit of hope to hold on to. She rolled her eyes and had a “what the f*** ever” look on her face as she turned her back to him and walked away. Dominique proceeded to class followed by practice. Once that was over she went in search of her new dorm room. She followed the instructions that were in the manila folder, used an access code to gain entrance to her building, took the elevator up to the top floor, and went to the last door at the end of the hall. She looked back down at the paper then her key to match the numbers. She slid her card in and once again all of the lights were on.
“You gotta be f***ing kidding me! These people just don’t quit.” She said looking around the modernly and lavishly decorated dorm room. “This place is f***ing huge…what do I need with all this space?! Well…it is kind of dope.” She smirked.
Dominique began to fumble around with her bags as she searched for her ringing phone.
“Hello”
“Hey Dom, whatcha doing?” Zoe asked.
“Nothing just looking around the new place.”
“Oh really, how’s it look?” Zoe asked excited.
“It’s cool I guess, looks pretty nice.”
“Can I come by and see?”
“Sure” Dominique agreed followed by instructions on how to get there and get in.
“Alright I’ll be right there. You gonna cook something for ya girl? I’m starving.”
“I suppose, gotta do something with all this food.” Dominique said looking inside the fridge.
“Awesome! I’m on the way.”
“Ok, bye” Dominique said hanging up.
“Where you running off to?” Trey asked as he noticed Zoe collecting her things.
“Dominique’s new dorm.”
“You’re a little excited to be going to see a dorm.” Shad said with a raised eyebrow.
“I am excited but not just because of the dorm. Did you know she’s staying in those new Trojan Towers? That’s where all the rich kids stay and I wanna see that s***! Plus she’s cooking AND I finally get to be nosey and find out what happened between her and the Dean and why the f*** she was trying to leave the team. That still has me a little heated.”
“Yo wait up, cause if babygirl is cooking then I’m there.” Shaffer said standing up.
“Me too cause a nigga was about to hit up Mickey D’s but damn that.”
“I like how ya’ll just inviting yourselves. Besides you really gonna leave yo boy, he look like he still need a lot of hugs.” Zoe quipped.
“Why don’t you shut up Zoe.” Omari said sipping on a bottle of Grey Goose.
“Why don’t you put your lips back on that bottle playa. If ya’ll coming come on.”
Fifteen minutes later the three of them were waiting at her door.

Omari f***ed up. Domo was only at USC for him. Yeah she made a bond with her team and some of his people. If she stay then you know he will find a way to get her back. I think she should leave. I knew Domo wasn't gonna be with O for too long. If you think about it, in the beginning of the story Christopher Brown name was mentioned.
Nah Omari you messed up badly! I didn't expect that from you negro!
Dominique killed it!
