The Fraternity
Chapter 1
She sat cold and alone on the beach. She thought that fraternities were meant to be kind and family like. Well Bees certainly wasn't and she bet Prince's weren't either – not that she wanted to join the boys fraternity.
She had come to NYC because her parents meet there. She had tried to join her mother's fraternity because she wanted to experience the life her mother had. Instead she had been told that she wasn't the right material. Back in her mother's day that hadn't been many rules to be in the fraternity you just had to be kind and helpful and hard working like a bee. Now the bees fraternity meant something different it meant Queen Bees. Which meant dressing in expensive fashionable – designer – clothes, wearing make up, not doing anything that could ruin you're manicure basically be a total girly girl. Kelsi Nielsen was not cut from the same cloth as these girls. Instead of designer jeans she wore regular blue skinny and worn jeans. Instead of designer heels she was in her scruffy converse and she was wearing a plain grey t-shit and navy hooded zip up top. She wasn't a Prada princess she was just a normal girl, a tomboy some may say. She was ok with it, other people not so much. Which was why on a cold and wet September night she was huddled into herself, with her bags, on a wet beach down the road from the Queen Bee house.
What she didn't know was she was sat in front of the Prince's fraternity house and her brother's best friend was a part of that fraternity. She didn't even realize he went to that college – until he tapped her on the arm.
"Kelsi?" he asked.
Kelsi looked up in shock.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I go to college here," answered Ryan.
"At Columbia?" asked Kelsi.
Ryan nodded. "You?"
"Me too," she answered.
"So why are you out in the rain instead of in your sorority?" asked Ryan.
"They kicked me out," whispered Kelsi.
"Pardon?" asked Ryan.
"They kicked me out of the pledge I don't fit in with the Prada princess. I'm too plain," answered Kelsi.
"Do you need a place to stay?" asked Ryan. "I have a pull out."
