“We’ll talk tomorrow then. Do you want to meet back here for lunch around the same time?” asked Nanette.
“Sure. That’ll be great.” The two friends hugged each other tightly.
“Maybe you’re run into Bleak again. Wouldn’t that be cool?” remarked Nanette.
“No, that wouldn’t be cool. Not at all. Maybe for you.”
“Come on, Adanya, you have to admit that he was a cutie. Those curly locks of blonde hair and those piercing baby blues, girl he had it going on.”
“I won’t deny that, but I’m not about to entertain the thought of getting involved with anyone from campus. Honestly, I’m not interested in being involved with a man period, and most definitely not a white boy. I have too many other things on my mind. Having a boyfriend or dating would just complicate matters.”
“First, you don’t know whether he’s from the university, Adanya. Stop shooting down men before you even give them a chance. And I know you are not trying to pull the race card. You’re the one that’s always talking against prejudice. You are so green. It’s time to have some fun, get a boyfriend, go out on some dates and enjoy your life.”
“Just because you love the dating scene, don’t try to put that label on me. Anyway, I don’t have time to stand here and indulge in useless banter. We both have to get back to work. I’ll see you tomorrow,” said Adanya.
“Whatever.” Nanette waved one hand in the air. “But one day you’re going to be swept away and when it happens, I’m going to be bouncing off the ceilings with I told you so’s.” Nanette laughed and started to walk away. “But you’re right; we need to get back to work. Have a good time at the game tonight.”
“I will. Bye.” The girls walked away in opposite directions.
