She opened the door to her dorm and saw her roommate D'Ashnae seated with two other girls laughing so loudly and grooving to Tupac.
Liz rolled her eyes. D'Ashnae loved to rub it in everyone's face that she was a very proud black girl- she probably wasn't even full black the way Liz saw it. She was Dominican so she was most probably mixed with Latinos. But she really loved showing off how deeply immersed she was in black culture and frankly, it got on Liz's nerves.
"This your roommate bruh? Hey blondie." A girl seated with D'Ashnae said, also a black girl with purple braids said.
"Hey." Liz replied blandly.
"Ay baby girl, where do you buy them jeans from? They slick." The other most loudest black girl with dimples asked.
"These? Target." Liz shrugged looking her at her denim Levi jeans.
"Word?! Mannnnn...they be looking fine as hell." The girl said
"Thanks." Liz gave her a tiny smile. She had actually bought the jeans from Paris but she wasn't going to tell them that.
"Can I like take picture of them? To show my sugar daddy." She asked
"Karli, you're some dumb fuck." D'Ashnae rolled her eyes at the girl.
"What? I really need me some new pair of jeans! Right Quad?" She asked the girl with the purple braids.
"Yes Queen and that bald mother fucker better buy them for you." Quad answered
"As he should." Karli agreed.
Karli started taking pictures of Liz.
"Hey! Crop my face!" Liz ordered her.
"Aight, chill bitch." Karli said and cropped her face off.
"You got some warrant of arrest or sum? Shit!"Quad rolled her eyes at Liz.
"Alright, lemme slide it to that nigga..." Karli said and wrote while saying,"...I see me rocking them jeans, how do I feel about that? And sent." Karli announced.
"And that's queen energy!" Quad hyped her
"Period bitch." Karli answered.
D'Ashnae just laughed along. Curling her hair strand around her finger.
Liz stared at her for a brief while. She was very beautiful. She had such a mesmerizing look. It was almost impossible to keep your eyes off of her. Her hair was long and curly. Her eyebrows were thick and gorgeous. Her amber eyes were her best features- they looked so enchanting and her smile was like a warm ray of sunshine. Liz felt so ugly compared to her. Liz was too plain and nothing stood out about her really. She felt a new wave of envy towards D'Asnae.
She reminded her so much of a girl she hated in her past- Ekaterina.
Even the way she carried herself was the same way that whore Ekaterina had carried herself. Like they knew they were beautiful but they pretended not to know and tried to be too perfect just so everyone can drool over them.
Liz hated girls like these. She despised them with all her heart and soul.
These type of girls got all the pretty things in life while she was forever cursed with tragedy after tragedy.
Because of this, Liz had twisted a knife through Ekaterina's abdomen over and over till she died. And she was very proud of it.
That whore deserved it. She pretended to be Liz's friend just so she could show off how perfect and happy her life was. She wanted to make Liz feel like nothing most definitely. That's why Liz was certain that it had been the right thing to teach her a valuable lesson that pretty girls die too. They can't have it all in life. No one has the right to have it all in their life.
"Ay....Liz you good?" D'Ashnae asked her.
Liz gave her a lopsided grin.
"Of course roomie. I just had an idea. You know I have this large bonus offer on my Amex card and I didn't know what to with it. Maybe I can take you and your girls out. If you 'd like." Liz shrugged.
"Are you fucking kidding me?! Hell yeah we'd like that. Matter of fact I would offer you my liver in return of takin' us shopping. You know what I mean?" Karli exclaimed.
"I could never even on my deathbed turndown a free treat girl." Quad added.
"So I guess we're all in. Well Liz...I hope, you know...you'll give me the more special treatment seeing as I am your roomie and these are just some random chicks." D'Ashnae told Liz.
"Girl shut your mouth. Who are the random chicks here? I know you ain't talking about me. Me and Lisa have been homegirls since way back." Karli stated.
"Well how crazy that you still can't say her name right then."D'Ashnae told her.
"It's Liz yo. Put some respect on my girl's name." Quad said.
"She's none of y'all's girl. Liz, I am your favorite. Tell them." D'Ashnae said putting her arm around Liz's shoulder.
"Liz honey. Don't let that bitch tell you what to say." Karli said.
"Girls! Girls! We are all a tribe. I'm gonna shower all of you queens with Amex cash. To all your satisfaction. I got all of you." Liz assured them.
"Yasssss Queen!!!" Quad screamed and ran to envelop Liz with a hug.
"The Lord is gonna bless you for this. Trust me, I am a PK."Karli said and hugged her too.
"What the hell's a PK?" D'Ashnae asked Karli.
"A Pastor's kid man. Do you not go to church? girl bye." Karli said
"You? A Pastor's kid? That's a nice joke." D'Ashnae said.
"It's true girlfriend. I was shocked too." Quad said.
"Okay then. That's the shock of the year...but back to our main baby Liz. When shall we Amex-it-rain?" D'Ashnae asked Liz.
"How about on Saturday? At Victoria secret?!" Liz said.
"Victo- what? Bitch you're my new religion now." Quad said.
"You were destined to cross my path girl, you better keep good on your promise. Don't get a bitch too hyped for nothing." Karli said.
"I'll keep good on it. 110%. This is the card right here." Liz pulled out her Amex card.
All the three girls screamed and jumped around the room.
D'Asnae held her shoulders and looked seriously into Liz's eyes.
"Liz, are you sure you won't spend your school money by this?" She asked.
"Of course not. It's all good. I told you. It's a large bonus." Liz answered.
"Awww. You're such a sweetheart. You know I thought you were a little strange before but now I know I am so damn lucky to have a sweet roomie like you. Bring it in." D'Ashnae embraced Liz tightly and kissed her cheek.
Liz immediately thought of Ekaterina and how much all this was starting to look a little familiar.
This was how all the havoc Liz had caused had started.
She could already see the end of the story and it wasn't going to be a happy one. Especially for dear miss D'Ashnae Calenis.
