Freshman year at Howard University was supposed to be Aniyah Banks' escape from the Bronx grind—parties, freedom, and her man Davon by her side. But love in the Yard hits different when jealousy, cheating, and squad drama turn everything toxic. Davon loves Aniyah, but his calm hood vibe pulls every chick on campus. One club slip-up caught on IG stories blows up their world. Makeup sex in the dorm leads to a missed period and a secret pregnancy that tests them both. Meanwhile, her crew—loud Sereyaha ready to swing, dramatic Zaria stirring rumors, funny Milan spilling tea, quiet Jaylen with anger on lock—drags her into hookups, fights, group chat wars, family money stress, and homecoming brawls. Heartbreak hits nuclear when betrayal rips the squad apart. From steamy late-night hookups to weave-pulling confrontations, Four Years With You captures the messy, emotional, grown chaos of Black college life—no fairytales, just real NYC hood energy in DC.
