Season 2 - Episode 31 We resume our episode this week with Tierra and Marcellus. Marcellus has just unexpectedly arrived at Tierra's dorm room. Tierra: So um.....I wasn't expecting to see you. Marcellus: I know. And after the other night, I wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to see me again. Tierra: It was a bit strange.... Marcellus: I know. But I want to explain. That's why I came by. There's somethin' you should probably know about me before this goes any further. I was hopin' you'd come with me for a walk so I can just explain everything to you. That way you can make a decision on whether or not this is something you're still interested in.... Tierra takes a deep breath. Tierra: Wow. That sounds pretty heavy. Marcellus: Well..........I guess it depends on how you look at it. Tierra: Wow. Okay. Marcellus: You ready? Tierra: I don't know. I guess.... Marcellus: Okay. Listen. I....I.... Tierra grabs his arm and stops him. Tierra: You know what? Don't worry about it.... Marcellus: What? Tierra: I mean......just....don't. I'd rather not know. Whatever it is...it's in the past, right? Marcellus: Well kinda... Tierra: And we're moving forward, right? Marcellus: I'd like to. Tierra: Okay, then. I would to. Marcellus: Does that mean I could interest you in dinner tonight? Tierra: I'd love that. As long as you give me a few minutes to change.... ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Over at the Jewel House, the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha are hanging out.

I don't even know what I'm talkin' about. Just be safe. And I'm gonna miss you. The crowd begins to clap slowly and Kyle comes over to give Jeff a pseudo hug, so that he will leave. Jeff hands the mic back to the DJ and begins to walk away slowly. Just then he turns and breaks free from Kiaterria's grip and grabs the mic again. Jeff: I almost forgot man! You'll always have my support man...cause on the real......that's messed up that you got HIV from that hoe! You ain't even deserve that! The crowd gasps and goes completely silent. Kiaterria: Jeff! How....how could you? Jeff looks around with a confused look. Jeff: Huh? What? What happened? What did I do? Kiaterria bursts out into tears Kiaterria: Kyle, I'm so so sorry! Kyle: It's not your fault. One of Jeff's teammates walks up and grabs Jeff by the shoulder and begins to drag him out of the party. Jeff (slurring his words): Where we goin'? The party is just startin! Kyle: Nah, Jeff. The party is definitely over now. The crowd begins to whisper and hush. Stasha runs up and hugs Kyle. Stasha: Oh honey.....are you okay? Kyle: Yeah.......but......let's get out of here....now..... ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Scene 2 Continued..

Mona: Well hello fellas........ The Alpha's all look up and see Mona walkin' into the room. Mona: I know you all are busy so I won't take up too much of your time.

Stasha: I know. But I don't think people will look at you that way. Kyle: Whatever. I don't even want to think about it. Stasha just stands staring at Kyle. Kyle: What? Stasha: You're my husband. Kyle: I know. Crazy, right? Stasha: Yeah, it is. Kyle: You're dad is going to kill me. Stasha: Yep. And your mom, too. Kyle: We're definitely in trouble.... Stasha: Um, yeah.
