Blog #10:
Okay so yesterday I wasn't too drunk nor was I too busy. I was just caught up with Ricky. But I haven't forgotten about you guys and I have about an hour to fill you in on yesterday, the day of the obstacle course, and what happened so far, today.
I was laying in bed, close to a deep sleep but not quite. I could hear what was going on around me like the sounds of the blinds hitting the window because of the wind, and doors slamming. I turned my head and put the covers over my face when an alarm sounded throughout the house and girls started screaming. I opened my eyes and cleared them of guck, then raced out of my bed when I realized it was probably the fire alarm.
LaLa lifted her head with her scarf half way down her face, when Kasey burst threw the door with a silver whistle in her mouth. The sounds of the whistle collided with the alarm sounding throughout the house and I wanted to kick her in the throat. It was too early for that. Most girls were up until 4:00 in the morning finalizing plans for the event and taking showers so we could sleep in longer, the next morning.
LaLa: "Fuck is all that noise? Is it the fire alarm?"
Kasey: "It means get up, ladies. It's game day. That's the morning alarm- the Alpha Delta Phi way."
LaLa: "I didn't sign up for this shit!" she yelled, throwing a pillow at Kasey's head then facing the wall.
Kasey: "LaLa get up right now or I'll remove you from your chapter for a day and put you with Kiesha's." Kiesha's chapter was stuck putting wristbands around people's arm for half of the day until Kasey's (which was mostly juniors) did it for the other half.
B: "Just get up!" LaLa dragged herself from the top bunk, wiping her eyes and taking off her already out of place scarf. Kasey left the room and went to the next one, blowing her whistle even louder.
LaLa: "It's only 8:30. She can't be serious."
B: "Isn't she always?" I asked, walking over to the mirror and my station. I put my hair in a bun and stretched my cheeks in an attempt to look at my pores. I then grabbed my bottle of acne preventer and threw it in my bedazzled basket, which I put around my wrist before walking toward the door.
LaLa: "Where you going?"
Kasey: "I want to see makeup on all of your pretty faces!" she yelled down the halls.
B: "The bathroom. If I lay down again, I'm not getting back up so you mind as well grab your basket and follow me." I felt her throw up her middle finger behind my head.
Kasey: "Iron your shirts too! Alpha Delta's most elite are desirable! Not wrinkled!"
After we got ready it was time for the ladies to grab their things and anything their chapter may have needed, and pile onto the bus to drive over to the soccer field. I was wearing Nike Pro Shorts with pink around the waist, a matching pink shirt, a name tag and black and white Nike Roshes. LaLa was wearing a similar outfit, which I noticed when she sat next to me, whipping her shiny blonde hair over her shoulder.
LaLa: "If they can rent a damn bus why can't they restock on Scooby Doo fruit snacks?"
B: "I don't know but Triple A's supposed to check my car later today. I hope I can make it back to the house in time."
LaLa: "Are you at all excited to see Ricky?"
B: "Yeah, I can't wait."
LaLa: "No, I mean excited. Not up here." she said pointing to my head. "Down here." she said pointing to my crotch. I laughed so hard as she logged into Alpha Delta's snapchat.
B: "Well it's kinda hard to be with all this chaos going on."
LaLa: "Smile." she said, striking a pose for Snapchat.
We pulled up to the soccer field as she added the picture of us to Alpha Delta's story, captioned: We're on our way. Are you π ? The ladies hopped off the bus one by one and scattered around the field, setting up the beer station and making phone calls to theΒ catering company. Everybody was busy- there was no room for error.
With only 2 hours to spare, girls ran around setting up and helping out where help was needed. If you were caught on your phone when your chapter didn't do all it could in the eyes of Kasey, she threatened to tell our house mother, Ms. Perkins.
Ms. Perkin's was attending the event and putting all her faith in us to make sure everything was right. She was supposed to stop by an hour early to make sure everything was fine and the girls looked presentable. The obstacle course was the move for everyone's night and in my thoughts of tasks I had to do, everything was clouded with thoughts of Ricky. His name brought butterflies to my stomach but that was quickly ruined every time I heard Kasey's voice, shouting across the field.
While setting up the powder stations with a girl from Kiesha's chapter, Cassie, I got a text from Ricky saying he was bringing his roomate, Anthony. He also said he'd be about a half hour late, which I felt comfortable with because I wouldn't have to deal with anxiety and anticipation right away, on top of a crowd of people.
There were tents over the 5 beer stations to prevent powders from getting in anything. The obstacle course started off with drinking a mug full of beer, spinning around 3 times, climbing up bouncy house- like stairs, going through monkey bars, crawling under a ditch on your elbows, running up more steps, running along a thin ledge (or fall into paint pit), etc. The goal was to try and get the fastest time. It's a lot to explain but it was a lot of fun setting up and even more fun watching people trying to get to the end.
By 11:30 a crowd of 30-50 came through and that number expanded over the hours. I was doing my shift at one of the beer stands with LaLa when I checked my phone. It was already 2:00 P.M. and Ricky still didn't show.
LaLa: "Where's your boy toy?" she asked, handing a mug of beer to an eager and already drunk guy with facial tattoos. "That was disturbing."
B: "I don't know. He told me to give him a half hour after it started but it's been a couple hours now and still, no Ricky. I'm not going to stress over it, though. He's the one that pursued me again. He wouldn't just not come." I said with confidence. I handed a girl with a black stripe on each cheek her mug of beer and she ran away from the stand.
LaLa: "Yeah maybe you're right. Could just be car trouble or something. Whatever you do, just have a good time. After this shift, shit I'm going to pretend I have to take a shit and then go have some fun myself."
B: "Don't get caught by Kasey."
LaLa: "You're not breaking the rules unless you get caught doing it."
After our shift was over we left the stand and snuck away with a few mugs for ourselves. Two other girls took over our shifts and as LaLa and I walked toward the front gates holding hands, it was perfect timing because I spotted ricky getting out of his car with his cute but short friend, Anthony.
He wasn't necessarily short- but I've seen taller. Like my baby, Ricky. Ricky had on no shirt and the sun just glistened off his 6 pack. Anthony was a brownskin cutie with pearly white teeth and curly hair. He had on all Nike attire.
B: "That's Ricky and his friend Anthony."
LaLa: "His friend is gorgeous. When they get through the gates, I'm gonna pull his friend away so yall could have some alone time." she said laughing. The two of them got their wristbands and Ricky greeted me with an I missed you hug and kiss. He picked me up off my feet as I threw my arms over his shoulders and kissed him everywhere- his lips, cheeks and neck.
Anthony: "Hi, I'm Anthony." he said shaking LaLa's hand, then mine.
LaLa: "So polite." she said turning to me smiling.
Ricky: "B, you recognize who that is?" Oh my goodness, it was Anthony from junior year. Halloween night with LaBron James aka Xavier nasty ass.
B: "It's so nice to see you, how you been?" I asked, giving him a quick hug.
Anthony: "Great, I've been great. So we have to participate in that?" he asked, pointing to the obstacle course. There was a girl running along the thin edge that completely flipped into the paint. All 4 of us laughed.
LaLa: "If it's your first or second try you'll just be tipsy. It's not as bad as it seems. Come with me, I'll show you to the beer table." she said, leading the way.
Anthony walked beside her and it looked like they were laughing. Ricky and I went in the opposite direction, talking. He threw his arm over my shoulder and I drank my beer.
B: "A half hour, huh?" he started laughing.
Ricky: "We were watching recordings of college football. I might try out."
B: "That sounds nice. Would bring great opportunities."
Ricky: "I agree. This whole set up looks amazing. Yall must've spent forever putting it together."
B: "You have no idea. I'm so tired. This junior Kasey went crazy and started sounding this loud ass alarm early in the morning. And blowing a whistle."
Ricky: "Well if you want, maybe you need to get away from all that for a night. You could sleep over my place. I have an apartment right off of campus. Ant and I share a room but he could sleep on the couch for the night. We'd have some privacy. Kick back. Watch Netflix. We don't have to do anything, either."
B: "Sounds nice. I mean the privacy part- and we could do whatever. Whatever happens, happens." I told him. "I'll have to sneak back to the house really early, though. Like 6:00 A.M. It's a hassle but Alpha Delta Phi is strict."
Ricky: "Works for me. How's your car?"
B: "Oh you just reminded me. I have to ask Kasey if I can leave a little early to meet Triple A at the house. That could be my excuse out of the event, I could pack my stuff and we can go." I said, walking toward the food area where Kasey was.
I told Kasey I needed to meet Triple A back at the house and surprisingly, she was understanding. She even suggested I just stay at the house afterward- maybe her being nice was courtesy of the beer in her hand. I love a drunk/tipsy Kasey.
I asked LaLa to tell everyone I was asleep when they got back to the house and she agreed to cover for me. Ricky and I did the obstacle course just before leaving and got his leather seats all colorful. Ricky and I had to take Anthony with us or he'd have no ride home- I think he got LaLa's number.
I sat in the passenger's seat as I called Triple A and told them I was on my way to the house. They weren't there yet when we got there but I handed Ricky the keys and ran upstairs to pack my bag. Packing a fresh pair of panties since I knew I'd have to take a shower at Ricky's for all the paint to come off, I realized I didn't shave my crotch in a week- I needed to be completely bald.
I went to the bathroom and pulled my Nike Pro's down to my ankles, shaving everywhere as much as possible. I finished then grabbed my bag and went downstairs. As I walked outside Triple A was talking to Ricky and they said it had something to do with the battery- all this technical car shit I didn't understand. It was 7:40 and the girls should've been on there way to the house at least around 8:00. We were told earlier that morning that our partner fraternity, Delta Lambda Phi would clean up the field since we were all exhausted from days of preparations + classes.
It was 7:55 when Triple A fixed my car and I followed behind Ricky to his apartment. He insisted he should bring me home the next day but I didn't want to burden him. I followed him to a series of connected houses. They looked like new buildings- and also expensive. I grabbed my purple and black PINK bag from the passenger's seat and sat on the steps, waiting for him to get out the car.
We went up the steps after Ant slammed the door and I looked around the hot, messy apartment he shared with Anthony and 3 other niggas that weren't home at the time. I had a long day and was stained with powder and paint. Ant flicked the light switch and sat on the couch, grabbing for the T.V. remote.
Ricky: "Let me show you my room." he said, grabbing my hand. On the way to his room I made note of the kitchen which had a sink full of unwashed dishes and 3 open pizza boxes, but no pizza.
His room smelled like a man- cologne mixed with sweaty socks. I put my PINK bag at the end of his bed which was to the right of the room, and we went to take a shower across the hall- together. He led me to the bathroom with his white towel around his waist- mine around my chest. He had a six pack that complimented his strong calves. I love myself an athlete. I shut the door behind us and locked it as he stepped into the shower first and took his towel off. He put it on the closed toilet and smiled as he stepped in the shower. My mind said don't look at his dick but the rest of my body said please do.
Well do you think she looks π ? And how do you think LaLa and Anthony will turn out? Lastly, would you be able to wake up the Alpha Delta way? If you've read this far, thanks a lot π Vote, comment and follow me for Seldom Part 2!
