The Worst Shoot-Down EVER

My freshman year at Hampton University was one of the most fun years of my life. One of the main reasons for this is because there were SO MANY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN on that campus. Seriously. My friends and I had a saying: “The Lord is good everyday.” We said that because every day we’d see someone fine as hell that we never saw before LOL. Coming from Fredericksburg, VA, it was a shock to the system in a good way. I had seen all that Fredericksburg had to offer, but it didn’t have shit on HU.

The only moment of shame from my freshman year came on the first day of class second semester. I walked in my sociology class and saw two absolutely gorgeous women, each with empty seats next to them. One was near the front of the room, the other near the back. Since the one near the front of the room smiled first, I decided to sit next to her.

Once I sat down, I smiled and said “Hello” to her. She smiled back and asked me my name. So I responded, “My name is Leon. What’s yours?”

She said, “Oh! Leon! Like the actor, right?”

So I’m thinking this girl is into me, so I began to smile again as I replied, “Yes, like the actor.”

So then she said “Yeah, except he’s tall and handsome.”

That smile I had on my face dissapeared INSTANTLY. I was honestly at a loss for words, because that was so unexpected. I can laugh at it now, but at the time I was thinking “Damn…that’s some cold-blooded shit right there.” The funny thing is, we ended up becoming friends, but I never let her forget that she got the best of me that first day of sociology class :)

    I went to Hampton for a WHOPPING year – but I’m almost sure I’m older than you, so you probably weren’t there yet, but we could know some of the same people depending on how far apart we are in age. =)

    And it’s not HU – that’s Howard. It’s HIU!!! Get it right! =)
