Sherry Donovan POV
"I love you."
"I love you more!"
"I love you the most!"
"I love you infinity!" Sherry said with a giggle, hugging her boyfriend of nearly a year now. They sat at the Student Union in what was the unofficial "Black corner" where all the minority students hung between classes. There were not many at the predominantly white institute, but the few hundred were pretty close.
Because of the small number compared to the over twenty thousand students, all the Black students knew each other and their business. Everyone knew Sherry Donovan was in love with Donte Jordan.
"Senior year, we're going out with a bang, right?" Donte was a hottie to most women on campus, so she considered herself lucky. She loved flaunting the fact that he was with her versus any other girl on campus.
"Oh yeah! We have each other and I have my sorority, being President and all. You have your fraternity, being Vice President of course. We're going to be so busy but we will make time for each other, right?"
"Honeybee, you know I got you," he said, kissing her neck, not caring that other students were around.
That's why she loved him. He was on her level of affection and she needed lots of it. They hooked up last year at the start of the year and had been inseparable since. Donte Jordan was a top catch at ISU. Tall at six feet three, athletic build from playing football, though he was not on the team this year, brown-skinned, nice full lips, and smart too. She was not so shallow she was only into him for his looks. He was one of few Black men on campus with a 3.8 G.P.A., in the national honor society and in the leading fraternity on campus, Alpha Phi Alpha.
"So, what do the ladies of MAX have planned for this year?" he asked.
"Oh you know, our little sorority is so different than all the rest of you. We don't have the numbers for the big parties or big events, but trust we will do it big under my helm. We have Sister Circle monthly activities, our tutoring program and we are going to do the step show in the Spring for sure."
"Not all that, you know what I mean, you ladies having a line?"
"Boy! Are you trying to get all up in MAX business? You know I'm not asking you if Alpha doing intake. That's your business."
"We are, and I'm Dean of Pledges, and I'll tell you whatever you want...long as you keep that on the low."
"First of all, I don't need to know Alpha business, I know not to ask. Why are you asking about MAX business?"
"Because...you ladies should have a line, boost your numbers. There are a lot of interested girls who-"
"Un-unh! Stop! We're selective for a reason. It's not about the numbers for us. Quality over quantity."
"Well, what if there is someone interested but you all capping it because-"
She cut him off with a hand. She loved Donte but he was crossing the line having this conversation. She took her sorority business seriously. She only pledged last fall herself, so she was not even a year in. A neophyte as they called it. She was elected President because there were only three of them left on campus right now. Also, she was the most qualified of the three, no shade to her sorors who could have handled the job but their hands were full with other things.
"Donte, if you know of anyone interested, they go through the process like anyone else. Now," she said, kissing him. "Enough with that, what's happening this weekend?"
"You know Alphas get the first weekend, so you know it's going to be lit."
"We shall see," she said, just as her soror Zavrina walked over holding a large Starbucks coffee cup in one hand, her iPhone in another, with her little tiny self.
She always hated that next to her she looked like a giant. Not only was Sherry five-eight, but she was also very curvy, not skin and bones for sure. She was proud of her size sixteen, she felt she carried it well on her frame. She didn't have a lot of jiggle. Her breasts were large but firm, her waist snatched thanks to waist training on a regular, and she had that junk in the trunk that was in style nowadays, except hers was au natural.
Her natural hair was a short bob she relaxed to keep straight, and she wore many weaves, wigs, and ponytails. She also was the best when it came to applying makeup. She could beat a face like a professional and many of the girls on campus came to her to get theirs done or ask for tips. That was not what she was in school for but it was a nice hobby. She was an English Education major, hoping to teach high school English after graduation.
"Yo, it's the lovebirds. I am not here for the kissy face," Zavrina said to them, sitting on the couch across from them.
"Turn your head then," Donte stated as he planted a kiss on Sherry as she laughed.
"Yo!" Zarina jumped up. "What did I just say?"
"Hater," Sherry said. "So, how was the first day at the rez hall?"
"Same old same old," Zarina replied, sitting back down and looking at her phone. "Where is your LS?"
"Still doing her radio thing. Did you catch her this morning?"
"I was working," Zavrina said.
"We caught it, right Donte." Sherry and Donte were awakened early to her screaming voice on the radio. They listened to her morning show while they got ready for the day, and it was interesting for sure.
"Something about men, creeping around, and cheating and lying and yada yada. Is she trying to tell somebody something?" Donte asked, looking at Zavrina.
"Why are you looking at me? Ask her LS," Zavrina said with attitude.
"How am I supposed to know what is in that wild child's head?" Sherry was always the one responsible for keeping her younger line sister in check because she was a hand full. She loved her LS, but she was not her keeper. "We need to find her a good man Donte. Is anybody in the frat house she might like? Gil, Tommy, Cory, Kenyon...wait, never mind that last one. She ain't that desperate."
"Jill doesn't need a hook-up, she needs to stop being so extra," Zavrina sipped her coffee, dismissing the thought of hooking up their soror.
Just in time, her extra line sister stomped up to them in all her loud glory.
"YO! SUPERSONIC IN THE MOTHER FUCKING HIZ-OUSE!"
"Chick, sit down and shut up," Zavrina said. "Lil neo, show some respect to my eardrums."
"YO! Y'all catch my first live radio show this morning?" Jill asked, sitting by Zavrina.
"Uh...yeah, yeah, sure," Zavrina nodded, taking a sip of coffee. "About creeping and men lying and cheating right?"
"Did she just-" Donte said.
"And what do you know about all that, Ms. Thang?" Sherry asked.
"Me? Not a damn thing. But y'all tell me y'all stories."
"Look, lil youngin, I would never, ever tell your loudmouth ass any of my business. We named you Supersonic for a reason. Err'body hears you before they see you and you share the business like a big mouth," Zavrina told Jill.
"I love you Jilly, but no lies were told," Sherry said with a chuckle.
"Donte, bruh, you gone let yo girl get at me like that? I thought me and you were cool," Jill bellowed out.
"My name Wes, I ain't in that mess." He stood and grabbed his bag. "I gotta get to my first class babe."
"Meet for lunch?"
"Of course," he said and kissed her. "Bye, ladies."
He pushed Jill in the head playfully as he walked by.
"Sooo, ladies, now that bugaboo has left us in peace, are we ready to do some MAX business?" Jill asked.
"This...ain't...official...meeting time, bruh," Zavrina said, sipping her coffee.
"But we need to discuss if we're having a line or not this year," Jill stated.
"I agree with Jill, we can't kick off the year right until we decide. As President, I'm all for intake this semester. Quality candidates of course."
"No doubt," Zavrina nodded, taking a long sip of her coffee. "You and I are seniors, lil Jilly here will need someone to help her next year."
"Then, that's settled." Sherry stood. "Jill and I will work on the invites. Be ready to put in some work ladies. Let's have an awesome school year, sorors."
A/N: If you are Greek, and even if you're not, you don't ask if an organization is having a line!! Sherry and Donte are really close, but bruh, that's not how we do things. Loudmouth Jill is my fave, she's next.
