I know that some of you are probably wondering why I haven’t even mentioned that wannabe playa Richard Cornelius up until now. Well, as I quickly learned, there are some things and some people that are not worth mentioning.”
So, why am I talking about him now? Well, here’s an ironic twist of fate for you: Richard is in my Intro to Computers class, and it really makes me sick. The good thing about this is that my roommate Ruby is in the same class with me. You see, what had happened was: On yesterday, our professor told us that we would meet in the computer lab. Well, as soon as I sat down, I happened to hear Richard’s voice. Right away, I started to cringe. Anyway, he saw me and tried to sit right next to me, and I got up and sat near a computer two rows ahead of him… you know, so I wouldn’t be bothered by him. Thankfully, Ruby caught on to what I was doing and intercepted Richard’s attempt to try and sit next to me. She simply zipped right past him and slammed her books in the chair next to me.
“I’m sittin’ here,” she said boldly.
“Now, hold up…”
“I said, I’m sittin’ here!”
And that’s when I chimed in and said with a bit of a mischievous grin, “Buh-bye, now… and pick your face up on the way back to your seat!”
Everyone in the classroom holla’d laughing. All Richard could do was take that dreaded walk of shame all the way back to his seat. With that madness out of the way, I thanked Ruby for having my back, to which she elbowed me in my shoulder.
Although I know that Ruby will not always be there to fight all of my battles, I’m truly grateful that she was there for me on yesterday. And I truly pray that I don’t have to—as Gramma Jewel would say—step outside myself and cut a shine. I mean, after all, I am the youngest grandchild of the lady once known as Delta Jewel… I’m just sayin’ is all!
And just for the record, he’s the only one who calls himself “Rich Dawg,” but if you ask me, he’s nothing but a jackass and a half.
Until tomorrow, take care.
Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
