Truth, Lies and Betrayal

NIEVE

Stepping onto campus felt like walking into a whole new world. Since as far back as I can remember my parents never let me do shit. When I say shit I mean it and if they did they needed to know the other people's whole family history before allowing me to go, that's if they let me go. It seemed like every time something always comes up becoming the reason why I can't go here, there, or anywhere. Oh, the mother works too much you can't go, oh other family members live with them nope can’t go. It's the exact reason I don't have many friends. I can't lie my dad isn't as tough as my mom when it comes to me going out. He was always having my back in convincing my mom to let me out. However, since he loves my mom's dirty draws he won't ever go against her. So if momma says no then it's no. At times I hated that but my love for my dad overrides any hard feelings I have about it.

"Girl look at all these fine men. It's like a buffet up in here" my one and only friend Natore said looking around with excitement in her eyes.

She's the only person who stayed my friend. Most times they ran off since my mom was like a damn correction officer. Nobody wanted to be monitored especially by somebody that's not even related to them. I didn't blame them, if I could run away myself I would. I probably wouldn't get far since no matter where I was my parents always found me. I'm just thankful Tore didn't run away too. She's a little dense so when my mom was making things hard or awkward she would just smile and laugh like it was nothing. Nothing my mom said ever fazed her, it was like her words went in one ear and out the other. After a while, my mom gave up and let me be friends with her. Since then it's been me and her. When you see one the other isn't that far behind, that's how close we are. My dad always calls us peanut butter and jelly. Since I'm the shade of mocha while Natore is the shade of peanut butter.

"Girl fuck them. I didn't come here to fall in love" I said uninterested in the dudes around us. I didn't come here to date. I came here to get the hell away from my overbearing mother.

"You never know your future soulmate could be right in front of you," she said still looking around.

Turning to her I went to say something back but ended up crashing into something hard causing me to stumble back a bit.

"my bad I wasn-" I couldn't even finish my sentence as I stared at one of the finest white men I've ever seen in my whole life. He looked like he just walked off a movie screen. Like it's one thing to see them on TV or in movies but you never just run into such picturesque people in real life. I mean to the point there wasn't anything about him I could even start to complain about. His thick shoulder-length brown hair was tussled and tossed to the side like he just finished running his hand through it. It went perfectly with his olive skin that glistened in the sun as we stood there looking at each other. His deep blue eyes with specks of green and light blue felt like they were looking right through me as he gazed at me with animosity. Licking his medium-full lips he was saying something but I didn't hear a damn thing as I ate him up with my eyes. Jesus Christ, who was this beautiful piece of white chocolate? Before I could ask him who he was, he walked away. He had an annoyed look on his face but I didn't mind at all, it took nothing away from his handsome face. He looked sexy as hell, standing there glaring at me. My eyes followed him as he walked towards the main building taking extra care not to run into anybody.

“Earth to Nieve,” Tore said clapping her hands in my face, making me jump from the sudden sound making her laugh even harder.

“For somebody who said they're not interested you sure are eye fucking the shit out of him. Did you even hear what he said?” She asked, I could tell she was trying to hold back her laughter.

“I didn't he was so damn fine I forgot how to listen,” I said as my eye went back to the direction he went. He was already gone.

“I bet you didn't. You was just standing there with your mouth open. I didn't know you was into white men” she said as she pulled her phone out, snapping a picture of me.

“Hell I didn't either but shit as fine as he is him being white didn't even come to mind”

“I bet I know what did come to mind though,” she said sticking her tongue out.

“Oh please. He was fine but not that fine” I said lying through my teeth. If he offered me just a piece of him I would take it. I probably wouldn't know what to do with it but that didn't matter, it's a first time for everything.

“Stop it you telling me if he came back and said lets go I'm going to eat that pussy from front to back you gone say no?” She questioned side eyeing me.

She had me there cause some shit like that happens I will fold every time. I've been waiting for my moment. I've been wondering how sex felt for a while now. Since I never got to go anywhere I'm very inexperienced in a lot of things, which makes me want to try a lot of shit now that im free. There's no telling when my mom will come storming in to take me back home. Just the thought made me shudder.

“Exactly,” she said laughing when I didn't answer.

Shaking my head at her I started walking towards the main building before I could get far I could feel arms wrap around me as a weight dropped on my shoulder. Snatching away I whipped around to see who had the audacity to put their hands on me only to be met with a smiling Damare.

“Boy don't be putting yo hands on me,” I said rolling my eyes at him.

Damare was your typical boy next door. Good looking, a school athlete, has okay grades, a nice smile, and is sweet to everyone he meets. He would be good boyfriend material if he wasn't so ugh. It is so weird for me because he never did anything for me to hate him over however I've never looked at him in a romantic way and I've told him this plenty of times yet he always doing stuff like this which annoys me to no end. I've told him a thousand times to stop doing it and he just brushes me off saying something stupid like he's leaving his scent so other dudes don't come near me. It's a dumb ass reason but he always says it. Hence the reason we don't get along most of the time. We argue way too much and can agree on very little making us incompatible.

“Don't be like that I'm just sayin hi to my future wifey” he said reaching his arms out looking like a toddler asking to be picked up.

Stepping back I got out of his reach. Wasn't going to be none of that. Turning back around I started walking towards the main building where Tore was talking to some dude with locs. I could tell she was feeling him since she was grinning ear to ear. Deciding to keep it pushing so I don't look like a cockblocker I walked on by not before throwing her a wink. She smirked at me before going back to her conversation. I'll just send her a text after I find all my classes. I had already moved into my dorm, so I really had nothing to do. Being so excited to be outside I left the dorms earlier than I needed to. Looking around I could see I wasn’t the only one.

“How long are you going to follow me?” I questioned out loud to my unwanted guest.

“For as long as it takes for you to fall in love with me,” Damare said with a cheeky grin.

“Damn sucks to be you since ill never fall in love with you,” I said never looking back.

“Why are you so mean to I just want to love you,” he said out loud causing other students to stop and stare.

“Get’cho ass out of here. Embarrassing me” I said tight-lipped. I didn't need anybody thinking we were together.

Laughing loudly he was getting ready to say something else until he heard his name being called. Looking over my shoulder I could see him turn and head in that direction.

“See you later baby,” he said loud enough for everybody and they momma to hear. Rolling my eyes at him I stuck up my middle finger at him.

“When?”

“Never,” I said as I dipped into the first class I had seen. Everybody was still getting settled in so there were no classes today. I was only here just to get the scoop on the layout of them. Maybe meet some new people along the way but after that scene, Damare caused I wanted to get out of people's sight quickly.

“Can I help you?” I heard from behind me. It was covered with a thick accent. Russian maybe? I couldn't tell I just knew it wasn’t American. Cussing under my breath I took my time turning around. I could tell by how he asked me he had a stank attitude. I hope his ass don't become one of my professors that would be just my luck.

“No, I was just-” My words got stuck in my throat as that fine ass white man from earlier was standing right before me.

“Just?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Leaving. My bad I didn't mean to bother you” I said reaching for the door.

“Sure you didn't. Yall never do.” He said with a lot of stank in his voice. Making me turn around with the quickness.

“You think I came here on purpose?” I asked with a raised eyebrow. Like buddy, you're fine but don't get beside yourself.

“Why not? There are 4 other classrooms before mine yet here you are and you’re the same girl I bumped into earlier who was so rude to me yet here you are. Why else would you be here if not for me?” he said sounding so full of himself like he just knew what he was saying was true. Tuh jokes on him cause I for damn sure wasn't following a soul.

“Aaaaaant wrong. You not all that for me to be following you.” I said with just as much attitude back. The fuck he thought this was. Yeah, I may have eye fucked him earlier but that wasn’t about nothing. I was just caught off guard by his face.

“Well get out I'm trying to prepare myself for class tomorrow,” he said not bothering to hide his annoyance.

“Excuse me? Is that how you ask somebody to leave? Rude ass” I asked with a turned-up lip.

“Yup now go. I'm not interested.” He said shooing me away with a wave of his hand.

“Not interested? As the fuck if I wanted you to be. Let me leave before I end up cussing you the fuck out” I said snatching the door open and making sure to slam it on my way out. He may be fine but that attitude was nasty. I hope and pray he’s not one of my professors. Please god, don't let him be.

LIEV

Did she really just slam the door like that? Such a rude girl. After she bumped into me earlier and didn't even bother to apologize she has the nerve to bombard her way into my classroom. I hope this doesn't turn into a problem. I left Germany just to get away from girls like her, who throw themselves at me without thinking twice. Here I thought things would be different but I guess women are all the same everywhere you go. Go figures, exhaling I rolled my eyes.

“Please don't let her be in my class,” I said out loud to myself.

Shaking my head I went back to what I was doing. My first class is tomorrow and I wanted to be ready. Thinking about how she just barged in I went back to the door and locked it for good measure. That should keep her and any other woman from sneaking in here.
