SAMANTHA’S POV

The small seminar room on the third floor of the literature building smelled of old books and instant coffee. I sat at the back table during my postcolonial theory seminar, notebook open, pen moving across the page in neat, controlled lines. But my mind was anywhere but on Frantz Fanon’s theories of violence and decolonization. Instead, it kept drifting to the faint bruise on the inside of my thigh from Wesley’s grip two nights ago, when he had taken me in the back seat of his te

  • Dorm Room Desires   Chapter 73: The Scholarship Verdict and the Night That Changed Everything

    WESLEY’S POVThe athletic department conference room felt smaller than a locker stall. The scholarship committee sat across the polished table like judges at a sentencing: Coach with his arms crossed, the athletic director tapping a pen, and two academic reps flipping through my file. I sat alone on my side, back straight, hands clasped to hide the slight tremor. The email had said 10 AM sharp. I was five minutes early, heart hammering harder than before any championship tip-off.“Mr Adams,” the athletic director started, sliding a thick report toward me. “Your on-court stats in the rematch were solid. MVP performance helped. However, the off-court issues— the leaked material involving Miss Williams, the formal event photos, multiple anonymous reports of late-night activity— have raised red flags. Your GPA is barely holding at 3.0. We need to see a clear improvement plan today or we cannot renew your funding for next semester.”I swallowed hard, the words hitting like a bad foul. “I u

  • Dorm Room Desires   Chapter 72: The Scholarship Noose Tightens

    WESLEY’S POVThe locker room smelled of sweat, menthol rub, and defeat even though we had won the last game. I sat on the bench, towel around my neck, staring at the fresh email from the athletic scholarship office that had come in during the fourth quarter. Coach had forwarded it with a single line: “Read this. Fix it. Or you’re done.”The message was blunt: “Mr Adams, your cumulative GPA has dipped below the required 3.0 threshold for athletic scholarship renewal. Combined with documented off-court conduct concerns (including multiple reports of personal distractions), your funding is under immediate review. You have until the end of next week to submit an academic improvement plan and demonstrate improved focus. Failure to comply will result in full revocation.”I slammed my locker shut. The metal clang echoed through the room. Jake looked up from tying his shoes. “Coach chewing you out again?”“Scholarship review,” I muttered, pulling on my hoodie. “They’re threatening to cut me i

  • Dorm Room Desires   Chapter 71: Midnight Oaths

    WESLEY’S POVThe athletic scholarship review letter arrived in my university email at 6:17 AM, the subject line bold and unforgiving: “Final Athletic Scholarship Performance Evaluation – Urgent Action Required.” I read it three times while Samantha slept peacefully beside me, her naked body curled against my side, one leg draped over mine, her warm breath tickling my chest. The words didn’t soften.“Mr Adams, your current standing has been flagged due to recent off-court conduct reports, missed team meetings, and inconsistent on-court focus. A full review will occur next Friday at 10 AM. All criteria— academic GPA, athletic performance metrics, and personal conduct — will be assessed. Failure to meet standards will result in immediate termination of your scholarship and removal from the team roster.”I closed the laptop quietly and stared at the ceiling, my jaw clenched so tight it ached. Coach had been riding me for weeks, but this was the first official warning. The championship rem

  • Dorm Room Desires   Chapter 70: The Scholarship Sword

    WESLEY’S POVThe athletic department email hit my inbox at 6:42 AM like a fast break to the ribs. I read it twice while Samantha slept curled against my side, her naked body warm and soft, one leg thrown over mine. The words didn’t change.“Final scholarship performance review scheduled for next Friday. All athletic scholarship recipients must demonstrate academic eligibility, on-court leadership, and off-court conduct consistent with university standards. Recent reports of personal distractions have been noted. Failure to meet criteria will result in immediate termination of funding.”I closed the laptop and stared at the ceiling. Coach had warned me. The team had lost the last two games partly because my head wasn’t fully in it. Samantha stirred beside me, her curls tickling my chest, her hand resting low on my stomach. Even in sleep she reached for me. That should have been enough. But the sword hanging over my head felt sharper than ever.I slipped out of bed quietly, pulled on sh

  • Dorm Room Desires   Chapter 69: Midnight Study Sessions and Scholarship Shadows

    SAMANTHA’S POVThe library’s third-floor reading room was almost empty at 11:45 PM, the only light coming from the green banker’s lamps on the long oak tables. I had claimed the corner desk near the windows, my postcolonial lit notes spread out like a battlefield. My laptop screen glowed with an unfinished 3000-word essay on identity and resistance, the cursor blinking accusingly at me. I had been here since 8 PM, but my mind kept drifting to the text Wesley had sent an hour ago.Wesley: Still at the library? I just finished extra drills. Meet me on the roof access stairs behind the stacks. I need to clear my head. And I need you.I bit my lip, thighs pressing together under the table. Dr. Patel’s warning from yesterday still echoed: “One more observed incident and the board will not hesitate.” But the pull was stronger than the fear. I packed my bag quietly, slipped past the night librarian, and took the back stairs to the roof access door that Wesley had shown me weeks ago, a forgot

  • Dorm Room Desires   Chapter 68: The Scholarship Knife Edge

    WESLEY’S POVThe gym lights buzzed overhead like angry hornets as I ran suicide drills for the third time that afternoon. My legs burned, lungs screaming, but Coach stood on the sideline with his arms crossed, whistling between his teeth. “Again, Adams! You’re moving like you’ve got lead in your shoes. Scholarship athletes don’t get to slack because they’re distracted by pussy.”The team snickered. I gritted my teeth and pushed harder, feet pounding the polished floor. Sweat poured down my back, soaking my practice jersey. Every sprint reminded me of the email I’d received that morning from the athletic department: “Final scholarship review in two weeks. Academic performance, on-court leadership, and off-court conduct will all be factored. Recent incidents have raised concerns.”Samantha. The board. The rumours that still lingered like smoke even after Lisa’s expulsion. I had won the rematch MVP, but Coach was still riding me because of the drama. One more slip and my ride out of this

  • Dorm Room Desires   Chapter 67: Nights That Burn

    SAMANTHA’S POVThe clock on Wesley’s bedside table read 2:47 AM when I woke up tangled in his sheets, my skin still slick with sweat from the way he had taken me earlier. The flat was dark except for the faint glow of the city lights filtering through the half-drawn curtains. His arm was draped hea

  • Dorm Room Desires   Chapter 66: The Weight of the Coming Weeks

    SAMANTHA’S POVThe days after the final board review stretched into a strange new normal that still felt fragile, like glass that could shatter if we breathed too hard. I woke up most mornings in Wesley’s bed now, the sheets tangled around us, his arm heavy across my waist as if even in sleep he wa

  • Dorm Room Desires   Chapter 65: The Final Board and the First Real Future

    SAMANTHA’S POVThe final board review room felt smaller than all the previous ones combined. The long table was the same polished wood, the chairs the same uncomfortable plastic, but the air was heavier. Dr. Patel sat at the head, flanked by three other board members, their faces neutral but eyes s

  • Dorm Room Desires   Chapter 64: The Return Ticket

    SAMANTHA’S POVThe train from London to Manchester rattled steadily through the English countryside, the wheels clicking over tracks like a metronome counting down the last moments of my old life. I sat by the window in a quiet carriage, my suitcase wedged between my legs, a half-finished postcolon
