Yeah, I know what I'm worth.

I know what I'm worth.

I know what I'm worth. I know what

I'm

worth.

Let's go ahead and tap in with the fans and see what they got to say about the

festivities. Look here, hey, Deebo, Deebo. Hi, hi. Real quick, tap in, okay?

Did you black out or did you black out when Jalen hit that three at the bucket?

Honestly, I was thinking about whether I left my curling iron blacked in or not.

We are in the finals, baby.

Ain't nobody messing with Hillman, boy.

Did you see our defense shut down their pick and roll?

They had the Norfolk boys settling for contested threes the whole game.

Jalen Hughes is the MVP and I'm going to be miss Hillman and then probably mrs.

Hughes mrs. Hillman you

It's a different world than where you come from

Okay,

they should have been paying me for the way I was sharing I didn't even know I

mess with basketball like that You know what baby Hayes I did have my doubts

when you convinced us to do spring break on campus instead of going to Myrtle

Beach. But I mean, could you imagine? In this weather, we practically have the

whole dorm to ourselves.

Except we keep running into that Judas, Amir, everywhere we go. I still can't

believe that he tried to break up me and Jalen just because he wanted my man.

Oh, baby.

Hey, it's weird to see you upset, girl. Yes, but do you really think he lied?

It's Amir. I'm sure.

That's not Jalen.

Period. She said period. I mean... So, can we please get off of this? Deborah,

I know that... Messy is your comfort zone, but my situation is pretty clear.

Whoa! Ow!

Excuse me, boo.

Candace actually helped me realize that I should just leave the past in the

past. And things with Ellington are actually really good. Yeah, he's mature,

and he's a gentleman, and he's fine as is. Okay, girl. That's peppermint,

chamomile, and oolong.

All day!

Oh!

Uh-uh. Oh!

So maybe we should all go upstairs and get changed and then come back down

here. Because I know the perfect thing for us to do on a spooky night like

this.

Bible study!

You ain't never seen a sky that color.

It's giving rapture.

Well, it's missing the trumpet.

Hey, look, all I know is that crossover was so nasty, that boy's ankle's still

on the court. All I know is you should be watching your ankles the way DeBoer

would swerve you at that game.

No, and while you're talking, I saw the way Hazel was throwing that shade at you

today, boy. You know she got Jesus on the main line.

Thoughts and prayers, brother. That's not funny. Yeah, it is. I mean, look, me

and Rasheed have been going smooth for a few weeks now, and I'm gonna keep it

that. Now, if you're asking for my advice... No, thank you. It's what we

did. We're not.

Well, look, this new semester was giving messy boots.

And I think that we can all use a little guidance from the ancestors.

Ashe. I mean, you have your Amir drama, and I have my complicated feelings with

Kojo.

And Andre.

Meanwhile, I just hard-launched an entire relationship just to watch it

crumble. Okay, I do kind of want to know if I'm going to be the next Miss Homan.

Okay.

Ashe. Set an intention, Ashe.

And pick a card. Okay.

Damn, the moon.

Yeah, so when it's upside down like this it usually signifies hidden agendas,

secrets, deceit, all the shady stuff that eats at the trust.

That's disconcerting, but I mean it tracks with Amir's lying ass.

Okay, Rashida, you're up next.

Okay, the five of baskets, that is...

Regret. Mourning things that have been lost.

Does any of that resonate with you, Rashida?

Uh, no.

Nah. And then me... The lovers.

Girl, stop playing. We know you planted that in there. What does it mean?

Temptation. And a choice between two partners.

Mm-mm.

Uno?

Yeah, that sounds great. Y'all don't want to see me play it.

I'm just saying, brother, it's not my fault these American girls don't respect

all this bad men.

Back home, I pulled Bear Gell. Trust.

Yeah, I'm sure you put a heart with your little T-shirt. This is a perfect night

for a couple.

Look, I love a peen measuring contest, but y'all are silly. I've got more play

than either one of y'all this year.

Marquise, Jalen, and a couple of randos in the gym locker room.

That can't be sanitary, man. Yeah. It keeps it clean.

I'm happy you're getting an A in the mirror. I really am, but you don't

count. Disqualified, actually. What? Come on, dudes are hella nasty.

Women?

Way tough. It ain't no way either one of y'all have it harder than me.

Look, y'all want to talk about it? Let's talk numbers, then.

On the count of three, we reveal the body counts.

Let's do it. Okay. Oh, the head count is a buddy. No.

All right, what about when she's like... Straight smashing, right to it.

Need it. Ready?

Yeah. One, two... Oh!

Oh, hell no.

Oh, how bad is it out there, roomie?

Y'all seen the movie Twisters?

Don't go out there unless y'all trying to be in the sequel.

I'm gonna die.

Yo, HBCU up is saying tornado watch until morning.

Nah. Give me an earthquake any day. We don't do tornadoes in L.A. Oh, nothing

to worry about, sis. We get tornado warnings like this all the time back in

Elgin. We'll just sleep in the bathtub.

Wait. There is no bathtub for us to sleep in.

Hey, you need shelter!

Uh-uh, not in here, you don't. My tornado will swoop this little body

right up. Yeah, and Gilbert's been renovated, retrofitted, and it's got a

basement. If you're really that scared, you can literally go anywhere else on

campus. Hey, hey, hey, come on, Hazel. Everything else is closed.

Too freaking bad. This is an F-boy free zone. Come on, y'all gotta go. You

especially.

Lord have mercy.

Who dies first if we're all black?

never have i ever lied to my best friend's face because i wanted their man

I'm not a monster.

Never have I ever ignored the fact that my man was a homo on the low low and

cheated on me with one of the finest men at Hillman. Oh, please, honey. You're

not even top 50. Oh, well, that's not what he thought. Oh, okay.

Hey, hey. You said what you said.

Okay. Never have I ever let my friendship suffer because I was too

proud to talk about it. All right, now I'm going to need you to put all them

fingers down and finish the rest of this bottle because that's a damn lie.

All right, game over. Time to make the most of this chaos. Let's have a tornado

turn up.

A what now? We'll divide and conquer. Grab some supplies and stuff and handle

our business while we're at it. No more beefing.

Okay, so Rashida, Kojo.

The pit, please, just go grab some snacks.

You two, the basement, check the circuit breaker.

Try to get the power back on, please. And you, you're with me. We'll grab some

candles and way more drink.

Deal? All right. Whatever. Whatever. All I know is you better stay 10 feet away

from me. Y'all suck.

Well, shut up. He's a liar.

Look, Chiku, you clearly have something you need to get off your chest.

Man, look, I know you feel some type of way about how I reacted when you told me

about you and old boy.

I probably deserve a little bit of it, but I need you to keep it 100 with me.

Are you and Ellington together?

Saw y'all kissing at the talent show.

Look, you know I would never play on your face like that.

Things were...

messy between us.

And... I think that it is about time

we try to move on.

And I am really trying to.

Well, I guess it's time for me to move on, too, then.

Look, we... we gave it our best shot.

I mean, we didn't even really talk about what happened last spring at the

warehouse.

Well, maybe we should talk about it.

I cannot believe Gabor convinced us to leave the

damn building!

You are wrong!

A reckless ride.

You think your girl Neko would be cool with you showing your nipples out like

that?

Same.

And I'm just saying, that's not my girl.

And she has no nipple jurisdiction.

Speaking of, what about your man?

I mean, how would he feel about you waiting out the storm with someone you

used to lips?

Andre and I haven't spoken since Club Insomnia.

I don't know what lips means.

Oh, that sells it.

No entanglements for either of us.

It's so funny.

Back in L.A., storms were really rare.

My brothers and I would build color forts to keep us safe.

We were a tribe.

Look, I'd be pissed at me too if I were you, but to only be pissed at me and not

Jalen is crazy work. Why would I be pissed with Jalen?

You're lying.

Jalen is a real man.

What the hell did you just say?

I just mean that Jalen is a good, God-fearing man.

Oh, that explains why he was crying out to God the entire time we were together.

F you, Amir. That's seriously so messed up.

How could you say something like that? You're supposed to be my friend. Yeah,

and you're supposed to be mine. But now I know how you really feel about me.

Not a good look, girl.

What was that?

I don't care.

I just want to find the breaker and me be on my way and you be on yours.

Hey, Hazel, we don't think it's haunted down here, right?

Because I don't do ghosts.

Do you have any idea what a living hell that night was for me?

I felt so abandoned by you, Shaquille.

And I was up all night worried about you.

It was the worst possible ending to a night that started out amazing.

And that I lost my virginity to you.

I wasn't sure if it meant the same thing to you as it did to me. No, no, no, no.

Look at me, Deborah.

It meant everything to me.

You know, I was so proud afterwards.

Pulling up to the party with you on my arm.

Meeting all your friends.

You were in my big old cat stick football hoodie.

No, that hoodie was so comfy.

I tried to stop it. Birdie, you know that wasn't your fault what happened,

right?

You didn't tell them to get drunk and let off fireworks inside the warehouse,

D. It's not your fault.

You gotta let that go, okay?

Look you gotta understand what happened My pops went off on me the whole flight

back to Detroit at the air thing went down. Look at me.

I promise he shut it all down I'm talking about he took my phone my laptop

my credit cards. He even took my passport

I thought you would never talk to me again.

Why is it so hard for us to communicate?

There's been so many misunderstandings between us.

Well, let me start by clearing this one up.

Ellington took credit for those flowers I left you after the talent show.

Those flowers were from you.

Hot pockets, bagel bites.

There's also this high-protein hot pocket. I don't know how we feel about

that one, but... Kojo, what is this?

I thought it could keep us protected from the storm.

Shall we, princess?

Your pillow fort.

Oh, wait.

Here, Hazel, Hazel, Hazel.

Oh, shit, shit, shit.

What the heck, Amir?

Where is she?

What in the Illuminati is going on down here?

I've been wanting to see this place since I got here.

Our founder, Josiah Hillman, was an abolitionist.

This was a spot on the Underground Railroad. Harriet Tubman hid enslaved

people in this very room.

Wait, James.

Let me find out your dorm is haunted by Harriet Araminta Tubman. Would you let

Harriet rest? Some ancestors never rest as long as they kinfolk need guidance.

Do you really believe our ancestors are trying to guide us?

You know how nosy aunties be?

Ancestors probably like that times infinity.

Why you going towards the ghost crazy? It ain't the holy one.

Boy, I swear.

Y'all got me wet out here looking for y'all.

You know what?

What the hell are y'all doing in the yard butt naked in a NATO storm?

Huh? Y'all been struck by lightning?

Trust and believe, you don't want to be naked.

Sorry, Miss Boo Boo.

Maybe, um... Maybe breaking up was a mistake.

All I ever wanted was you.

Ever since I... Wayne Johnson family trip to Tokyo Disneyland.

You got my last nerve that trip.

Yeah. Like, it's humid, my guy. Leave me alone.

Sheesh. I couldn't.

I haven't been with anybody else since that night.

What about you?

Well, Wayne.

You were then.

And you are now.

Don't you close the blinds, let the neighbors talk.

We can do whatever you want.

Promise that you'll be the only one to call.

I just want your hands, want your hands on my body.

On my body, your body.

All night, baby, use your hands, use your hands to communicate.

My love, language.

You'll make the time.

I never really dated outside of Abiola's and Adama's and Femi's. Do you know what

I mean?

Oh, so no Keisha's or Monique's, huh?

Seriously?

But what about you?

Who did you date in high school?

Please.

With my strict parents, the only person I was dating was in my imagination.

But in that imagination, though, I was a hup.

You know, I never stopped beating myself up.

That made you feel any sort of pressure.

I hate that I made you feel uncomfortable in any sort of way.

Because the truth is... No, I was just overwhelmed.

And it was a lot.

And, I mean, moving so far away from home and my tuition and working and not

letting my dad... Rashida, please.

Stop.

Okay? Um... Look, um...

Wait,

what?

It took me weeks to even gain the strength to tell you, and

you could have just told me this whole time?

I mean, you have me out here in these streets looking crazy.

Bare my soul.

All up in my head about...

I'm trying not to let you down and this whole time... I thought you might think

I'm a chump.

I was just thinking what it might be like if we were each other's firsts.

Well, what if I told you that I was ready tonight?

Are you sure?

Let me take it slow, baby.

What the hell y'all doing in there?

This better not be one of them sex sports I heard about on TikTok.

I see y'all. Yeah, we're coming. We're coming. Sorry. We're just getting food.

Oh, we actually found it.

Thank you, Harriet.

Or it was just that old pipe making all that noise in the corner.

You don't know everything about everything, Amir.

Look, I deserve all the attitude you're serving.

I'm really sorry, Hazel.

I was so broken and lonely that the second some dude showed me affection, I

forgot everything that was important to me, and I hurt the one person I've been

closest to all year.

Part of me knew who you were, telling the truth.

But I couldn't handle it because of what it meant.

My best friend betrayed me.

And my boyfriend cheated on me.

He never even said anything about being into guys.

Do you think he even actually liked me? Am I really that naive?

I appreciate you telling me.

But it still hurts.

And you're not broken, Amir.

You made a mistake.

Because he took advantage of your friendship Like he took advantage of my

love you deserved so much better than him or me

I

Have no idea what I'm looking at girl

I'm in love with you.

I'm in love with you too, babe.

Hey.

I wanna be with you.

But if we move forward...

To do this the right way.

Okay, no more dishonesty.

No more miscommunications.

I have something I need to do.

He does have a nice smile.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

Like Bunny?

Is that what you call Jalen? Because y'all be messing around like rabbits?

So, do you think he's, like, gay or pan?

Who knows?

I mean, for all we know, dude was just experimenting and realized that it

wasn't for him.

It's not like he's hit me up since it happened, so... Look, when I was coming

up, my pops ran my block.

And I got mad respect with the dudes I ran with because of it.

When everyone did finally find out that I was into guys...

I'm not gonna lie, a lot of shit changed for me.

Maybe Jalen is feeling some of that pressure too.

I'm sorry for those things I said earlier, that real man stuff.

I didn't mean it. I just, I was really trying to hurt you.

That's not God's love.

I love you, Amir.

I love you too, Hazel.

Bunny isn't Jalen.

He's my boyfriend, Roger, from back in Elgin.

Like your ex-boyfriend?

We grew up in the church together, and he was a really good guy, but so perfect

in a way that made me feel like I could never step out of line. And the thing

is, we kind of never really broke up.

Girl, what?

It can all be forgiven I don't love with condition All

it takes is a step

to come home

What's wrong?

We're safe now.

The tornado warning is over.

Why are you crying?

Because the tarot cards were right.

I did lose something.

I regret it.

I regret it so much, hey?

It's okay.

It's okay.

After club insomnia, Andre and I went back to campus.

I lost my virginity to him.

Andre was there, and he was comforting, and it just felt right.

But ever since I've been avoiding Andre, I just wish I had

waited for a couple.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You, you do not owe anybody perfection.

I mean, look at me.

I spent the last, what, ten months regretting losing my virginity to

Shaquille.

Being scared to take the plunge with him for fear that, you know, I'd get hurt

again. My point is, regret is not worth it.

I'm just so tired. I know.

But I'm overstimied.

I just want to go to sleep.

Yeah. But my brain just won't shut up. You know, Candace keeps, like,

magnesium, melatonin gummies, sleepy time tea in her room for all the Gilbert

girlies. I could go cop some for you.

That'd be great.

But isn't she in all the way?

The keypad door locks are still messed up from the storm, so her room should be

open.

Okay. Well, don't get in trouble. Okay. It's gonna be okay.

I got you.

Yes.

Thank you.

I went to the party, but you're on my arm.

You're wearing my big old casket football hoodie.

Candace actually helped me realize that I should just leave the past in the

past.

How do you know my RA?

Who, Candace?

I mean, we bump into each other at the gym from time to time, but... The thing

is, I was dating... Shaquille Johnson, not a secret, babe.

Remember that what's behind you is behind you for a reason.

Trust me.

Thank you.
