The next day, I had my early evening class. For once, the professor decided to let us out an hour early. I was happy about that. I went straight to my dorm room. I walked in and saw Shawn and Shante sitting on her bed. Shante had her shirt off and Shawn was sucking her breast like a damn baby. They jumped up when I slammed the door shut behind me. “You fucking asshole.” I said.
Shante looked confused. I’d walked in on her and guys plenty of times. Usually, I’d just apologize and leave the room. Shawn obviously didn’t tell her that he’d tried to get with me last night. Shawn brushed past me toward the door. When he got to the door he whispered just loud enough for me to hear, “You the one who missed out, don’t get mad now.” He walked out.
I was so damn mad.
Shante put her shirt back on and walked over. “What was that all about?”
I ignored her.
“What you do that for?”
When she saw the look on my face, she decided to shut up and leave me alone. I left and went to Crystal’s room.
Crystal was stretched out on her bed doing homework. Her door was cracked, so I walked in and sat down hard on her roommate’s bed.
“Damn girl. What’s up with you?” She sat up.
“Girl, I don’t believe this shit.”
“What girl? What the hell happened?” Crystal came over and sat next to me on the bed.
“Shawn.”
“Girl no you didn’t.”
“No! I didn’t do nothing.”
“Well, what?”
“He came to my room yesterday.”
Crystal leaned in closer. “He just came over?”
“No I invited him over.”
“And what?”
“He started kissing and rubbing all on me, so I told him to stop. He got mad and left.”
“Good. He’s such a – “
“That’s not all. My late class was cancelled today so I went up to the room.”
“His room?”
“No Crystal, let me finish.”
“OK. OK go on.”
“I went to my room and there he was all over Shante. I got pissed and cursed his ass out.”
“What you get mad for? Two hoes deserve each other.”
“You so mean.” I laughed a little. “I know, but for him to have the audacity…”
“Well at least you didn’t sleep with him.”
“I know, but I thought I liked him.”
“Well you came to your senses right on time. Believe me.”
Crystal was right. Shawn acted like I never existed from then on. I was lucky that I found out about him before I became a victim. My classmate, Trina, wasn’t so lucky. She slept with him after only a couple of dates and he made sure that people knew about it. She later found out that he’d given her the clap. When she told him, he denied it and began telling everyone that she had given him the clap. It became so bad that Trina ended up transferring to another school. I was glad that it wasn’t me.
