Chapter 3: Shit Just Got Real

Olivia did not begin her Saturday until noon.  She was so depressed that she did not want to wake up.  She was hoping everything that happened the night before was a nightmare, until she checked her cell phone and saw 40 text messages from Usher, and 10 voice mails.  All she could do is think, "how could he do this to me".  The only reason why she woke up was because her grandparents woke her up screaming "It's moving day!"  Today was the day she would leave Harlem and move to Providence.  Today was supposed to be a special day, but instead it was just a reminder that the love of her life is now the source of her pain.

As her father and grandfather was finishing putting all the boxes into the moving van, Olivia's grand mother said  "Awe sweetie, I'm glad you're moving out of this god forsaken place and going to Brown University." And hugged Olivia, not paying attention to her swollen eyes.  "You made me and your grandpa very proud." She handed Olivia a thousand dollars cash. "And there's plenty more where that came from.  I won't you to focus on your studies."

"Thanks Gambie."  Olivia said without any joy.

"What's the matter, I thought a grand would put a smile back on your pretty face."  Her grandmother kissed her cheek.

"I didn't get much sleep." Olivia replied in a sad tone.

"Clayton, there is something wrong with my granddaughter, what did you do?"

Clayton loathed his step mother and was glad she was no longer coming around the house. "She'll be fine, she needs time to herself, that's all."

"Goodness he wasn't much help."  Gambie whispered to Olivia.  Olivia couldn't help but laugh.  She knew how much her father and grandmother did not get along.


Once all of Olivia's things were in the moving van, she looked at her parents and grandparents.  She was going to miss this place, yet at the same time, she was happy she was leaving.  Too many memories of her and Usher.  She was glad that he wasn't going to be at Brown.  He had schools pitching scholarships to him, and he got into Brown, but he decided to turn it down to go to NYU with her.  She was even more glad that she did not tell him that she was going to Brown.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was another humid day in Providence, and Leonardo did not feel like being in the dorm.  I need to find myself another girl to bring home and fuck her brains out, he thought to himself.  He couldn't stand the idea of having a roommate.  Some one to either try to take the girls he brought home attention, or someone who was in desperate need of a wing man.  They couldn't wait until the winter semester to start Brown?  There was a pool party he heard about and decided to go.  It's hot and girls will be nearly naked.  Once there was liquor in their system, they might take everything off.  With naked girls in mind, he got ready and left. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was 6 o'clock when Olivia got to Brown.  She went to the office to find where her dorm was at, and was escorted there.

"You have a roommate.  There are two rooms in this one, the both of you are very lucky.  We only have two dozen two bedroom dorms.  Their like mini apartments.  These dorms are for the highly gifted students here."   The lady told Olivia.  She handed her the key and departed.

Olivia opened the room.  It was spacious like an apartment.  The place's decor was neat yet simple.  She wondered how her roommate would be like.  Was she a party animal or a book worm?  Was she going to be evil like Maciah or not?  With that thought, Olivia's phone vibrated.  Usher has been calling her none stop all day.  When she decided to hang up in his face, she realize it was that bitch Maciah calling her.  At that instant, she was filled with intense anger.  She answered the  phone saying "What the FUCK do you want?"

"I just wanted to say," Maciah said choked up with tears "I'm sorry."

"Are you saying this because Usher doesn't want to be with you, but with me?  Usher will never choose you.  NEVER!  Even if we never get back together, he'll find another girl before he decides to be with you.  You know what they say, 'You can't make a hoe into a house wife'" and hung up in her face.  She couldn't believe Maciah had the audacity to call her.

Livid, Olivia left her dorm to tell the movers where to place her things.  Once they moved everything into her room, she decided to take a walk.  She needed some fresh air to clear her mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maciah was upset.  Her best friend hated her.  Her sister got into an argument with their mother and apparently went back to Georgia to stay with their father for the summer.  Usher was not returning her calls.  She had no one.  And she began to cry.  All she wanted was love.  Maybe the reason she went after Usher because she was jealous of his and Olivia's relationship.  He always knew when she was upset, or something was bothering her before she even said it.  She gave him a look and he knew what was her emotion.  She wanted that special bond.  Usher always used to flirt with her when Olivia wasn't around.  At first Maciah would brush him off, she had plenty of boys, no need in getting involved with her best friend's boyfriend.  But Usher was her dream guy.  Sweet, smart, funny, athletic.  He had brown eyes that she could get lost in.  He had a body like Michael Angelo carved himself.  He was clean shaved, with a sexy goatee.  He had sexy full lips that were soft as clouds and taste so sweet.  Why was he in love with a goody goody like Olivia instead of her?  Maciah started crying again, life as she knows it is now over.  She was 17 turning 18 and pregnant with no one to turn to.  And as Olivia would joke around and say sometimes "Shit just got real."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Olivia walked around campus thinking about how much her life has changed in a matter of  24 hours.  At her high school, their graduation would be Monday, and she won't be there to see their faces.  See all the people who tortured her throughout her years at school.  She didn't have to see the face of her betrayers, her Judas, her Brutus.  She decided to walk back to her dorm, and go to bed.  Hopefully the movers set up her bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leonardo came back to his dorm, late that night, drunk with the same blond as last week.  He figured, this time he was going to learn her name.  As him and the blond stumbled into his dorm he realize the living room area was a bit different.  He saw a few boxes in the kitchen area, and payed no attention to it, he was too intoxicated to care.  The blond kept giggling and laughing saying "I can't wait to sit on your dick again."  Leonardo decided no more playing around, and put her right on the couch, taking her to his bed was taking too long.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At 8 o'clock sharp Olivia woke up.  She could've sworn she her some noises last night, but she was too tired to get up.  She didn't get enough sleep the night before, and she felt like sleep was her cure for the madness that was going on in her life.

Olivia decided to make breakfast and hopefully meet her new roommate.  When she opened her door she saw her roommate sleeping on top of a guy.  She was going to tip toe back to her room when the girl woke up and said "Who are you?"

Olivia walked towards her and extended her hand, "My name is Olivia, I'm your new roommate."

"I'm Britney, and uhm...if you're my new roommate why are you here instead of at the house?"  The blond said.

Leonardo started to wake up and then saw Olivia "Who are you?"

Olivia, confused and starting to get frustrated said "My name is Olivia.  I'm Britney's new roommate."

"Wait, you're the new roommate?  Wow, I didn't see that one coming."  Leonardo said.

Both Britney and Olivia looked confused.  "What do you mean?"  Olivia said.

"I'm Leonardo.  I'm you're roommate, uhm,  Britney was my, uhm, guest last night."  He said starting to get up and shake Olivia's hand.

"Nice to meet you." and the she looked at Britney "Nice to meet the both of you. I'm just going to the office, maybe they have everything mixed up."

"No they don't.  This isn't prep school, it's college.  We're co-ed around here."

Olivia looked at Leonardo and said "Oh." And walked back in her room.  She didn't like him.  It was obvious he had a one night stand with poor Britney.

"She seemed really nice."  Britney said and hugged him.

"Yea real nice, " he said sarcastically.  "But hey, I'll call you later.  I have to get ready for work." He lied, and he started grabbing her things and walking her out the door.

"Can I have a kiss babe"  Britney said, and puckered her lips.

He gave her a peck and said "Good bye" as he closed the door.  Whoa, that as a close one. He said, and walked into his room.

Olivia was pacing in her room.  A boy as a roommate. Great, he's going to bring all kinds of girls at late night.  Then she realize that her roommate and his victim were on the couch. EW, that is completely repulsive. Olivia thought to her self.  What did she get herself into?  Shit just got real.
