    Onyx




















    She remembered her first year at DuBois like it was yesterday. As she sat there and let it process for a second, it was kind of almost like it was yesterday. She entered DuBois two years ago at the age of 19 ahead of most students as she had an associate degree. She was already a practicing paralegal before most students her age even took the SAT. After that, she already had most of her general credits she needed and loaded up on her psychology requirements.

    In two years, she was done and entering Law school. So despite all of the work and accomplishments she had put in that took most people four years, it wasn’t really that long of a time.

    She watched as the Freshmen began to pour into the basketball Arena in their Olive Branch t-shirts. She chuckled as she noticed that just like her first year, the girls had jazzed up their t-shirts to make them “cute”. The DJ was spinning music as if it was a club and not a giant mixer for the Freshmen. That was an HBCU for you though.

    Carnival games spread across the (covered) arena floor. There was the tank dunk game, dart throwing game, and more all with winnable prizes. The prizes were just mainly school paraphernalia, stuffed animals, or just extra tickets to get food. Each student was given two food tickets, presumably one for one food item and one for a drink. So there was plenty of incentive for winning games, especially for a hungry college student.

    The stage was built on the eastern side of the gym, towards the area where the tunnels are. Soon, local acts would start hitting the stage and then the headliner SahBabii.

    She felt proud of herself as she held her clipboard and readjusted her suspenders. She looked around for Onyx, who was helping her with everything that was going on with Olive Branch. She just mainly was there so Saruh wouldn’t get bored, but officially she had her there checking in on the food stations making sure there were enough food to match the tickets as the vendors had promised.

    There was a minute where she looked to her phone to check if her boyfriend had messaged her, and shrugged her shoulders when she noticed he hadn’t. He was probably busy and that was fine, he had the right to be.

    She waved to a couple of students who had come in who had spoke to her and laughed. She wasn’t sure which students were genuinely being nice to her and which were being nice because of her multiple positions. She was not only the daughter of a elite lawyers, an excellent law student, and the Dean of Pledges. Getting in good with her was a shoe into multiple aspects of life.

    When she spotted Onyx she moved towards her to see how everything was going. Onyx was one of her favorite people on campus. She met through her little brother back in Texas and she’s been something like a little sister to her since, though there wasn’t a huge gap in their ages.

    "Hey Ony! How is it looking?"

    First Day of Classes

    acadia brinson



    Five o’clock alarms for most people were a struggle to respond to, but Acadia Bronson had no problem immediately getting up. Ever since she was young she had always woken up before the other members of her family and no one knew why. She’d always tried to explain that when her body was ready to get up it was ready to get up - and five o’clock seemed to be that time. The piano melody of Marika Takeuchi’s ‘Daydream’ played from her phone and like clockwork, her hand hit the stop button. Though she didn’t have her first class until 8 am, she did have a whole routine she did each morning and her early wake-up time gave her enough space to do it.

    Though she was at odds with her roommate, she still was polite enough to change into her gym clothes, toothbrush, and toothpaste quietly. Acadia was difficult - not an asshole.

    The silence in the hallways had been eerie, but Acadia was listening to AURORA and interrupted the quiet with her humming. There was no one around to bother and those in their rooms had been heavy sleepers. When she emerged outside the birds around seemed to match her melody while watching her stretch and get ready for her run. Maybe an hour would be fine for now, she thought.

    By the time her first class had rolled around, she had already completed her exercise routine - consisting of yoga, cardio, and meditation. She felt refreshed and ready to try and turn the sour experience she had during the Olive Branch around.

    From Acadia’s understanding, the Olive Branch was supposed to be a stress-free event. With the gossip blogs already reporting on her brother, getting into it with her roommate, and the prank on the Freshman class taking place it was anything but. She - like many others - was annoyed at how the first week had gone and hoped going into their first official week would be better.

    Being in the same room with the girl who had sarcastic comments was anything but easy and tensions had remained high. Though her mother advised her to let it go and start fresh, Acadia was going to do no such thing. She hadn’t done anything wrong in her eyes which meant she damn sure wasn’t about to apologize. If she had to go her entire year without talking to her then so be it.

    It wasn’t all bad, however, as she had met a couple of people she could see herself being friends with - Constance being the main one she thought about. The two girls had hit it off almost immediately and though Cadi had been distracted she still enjoyed her company. They’d been texting back and forth and even trying to make plans to get together later that week. Extracurricular activities hadn’t started yet which meant Acadia would have time but a part of her worried that once they started she wouldn’t. She felt a connection with Connie and it would be a shame if their friendship didn’t last too long.

    But that was something she would worry about at another time. For now, she was sitting in the library getting her schedule together while waiting for her next class. With having so many things to do her first year, she wanted to make sure all of them were accounted for. She had been listening to music and was so focused on her work that the people around her had been tuned out for the time being.
