Dirty Laundry

Summary: When a new girl enters the life of our favorite Greek characters, will she create chaos or bring peace to Greek Row? More importantly, what's the secret that she holds that could cause the Kappa Tau house to collapse?

Disclaimer: I do not own Greek, nor do I own any characters except those that I create….though I really wish I did own Cappie.

Chapter One

Rusty Cartwright picked up his sack of dirty laundry that was tucked into the corner of his dorm room that he shared with Dale. "Are you sure you don't want to come with me to do laundry, Dale? I mean, no one's there at this time and we haven't had clean clothes for a while."

His roommate just chuckled. "Oh, Rusty. You haven't had clean clothes for two weeks whereas I have learned to schedule washing them frequently." His watch beeped and a bright smile grew on his face. "Oh, Tina should be coming over soon. We're going to find a way to rebuild SAG."

At the mention of Tina's name, Rusty paled. "Uh, I hope you two have a good time with that, Dale. If anyone is looking for me, I'll be at the Laundromat."

"Have a good time, Rusty!" Dale said with a smile as he waved at him.

The young Cartwright just smiled and closed the door behind him, letting out a sigh of relief. He hugged his sack of clothes to his chest and made his way towards the Laundromat. True, he could've done his laundry at the Kappa Tau house, but who knows when that's actually been used. He passed by a few of his classmates in his polymer science class and crossed the street to enter the Laundromat.

Looking around, he noticed a pair of old ladies watching the old tv set up in a corner while knitting. In another corner, he noticed a girl reading a book while sitting on top of a dryer. He set his bag down, opened up a washer, and began to separate his clothes into the three washing machines that were available. Once he added the soap, he popped in the quarters, and started them all up.

He sat down at a table near the washing machines and began to start on a packet that was passed out in his polymer science class. He had learned not to put the work off since the professor had been a real pain. After ten pages had been completed in his fifty page packet, the washing machines stopped. Rusty got up and started to throw his red, whites, and darks into a dryer. He slipped his hand back into his jean pocket to dig up the quarters he had saved for such an occasion.

"Uh, if you don't want to walk around campus with a red shirt, you might want to hold on before you start those." A voice chuckled.

Rusty turned to see the girl who had been sitting in the corner standing a few feet away from him. "Excuse me?"

She just smirked and walked to the dryer that had his whites. She slipped her hand inside and pulled a red thong out. "I'd like to introduce you to the culprit of your would-be embarrassing future."

He turned bright red and chuckled nervously. "Wow. Um, thank you. That would've been really embarrassing."

"It's no problem. Plus, I would've felt horrible if I just left it in there. I always have a problem checking the machines after I get through with them." She pushed her black hair over her shoulder and tossed the undergarment into a nearby basket that was nearby. "I'm Angela Thompson." She smiled and held out her hand.

He gave her a goofy smile and shook it. "Nice to meet you, Angela. I'm Rus-"

"Rusty Cartwright. I know. We have Literature together."

"We do?" he asked with a confused smile.

Angela nodded. "Yeah. Although I sit in the far back corner, so it's always hard to tell I'm there. I make it a point to get professors to think I'm one of those lazy students who try to fall asleep in the back of the class when I'm actually listening. I get a kick out of it when they see my grades on papers and crap like that."

Rusty laughed and leaned against the dryer. "Wow. I wish I had that kind of ability. I don't know how you do it. I mean, Granger's a bore."

She chuckled. "No doubt. You just got to find a way to make him seem interesting." Her brown eyes glittered with amusement and her watch beeped. "Tsk, I have to go." She smiled at Rusty. "See you around, Rusty Cartwright. Maybe you'll look up from that huge binder of yours and see me in the back one day."

He grinned and his shoulder pressed on the start button of the dryer, startling him and causing him to stumble backwards. He gave her a nervous chuckle and waved at her. "Yeah, totally."

Angela smirked, got her basket of laundry and headed out of the Laundromat with a final wave to Rusty.

He watched her walk down the street and out of view and let out a sigh. "Good job, Rusty." He grumbled and went back to work on his packet. Once his laundry was finished, he folded it and put it back in the sack and headed towards the dorm.

On his way there, Beaver ran into him. "There you are, Spitter! Cappie's been trying to get a hold of you all afternoon."

"I was at the Laundromat." Rusty explained.

"Well, hurry up to the Kappa Tau House. We have to plan for our party."

"What party?"

Beaver just sighed and looked down at the freshman. "Spitter, don't ask question." He grabbed his arm and started to head back to the Kappa Tau House with Rusty trying his best to keep up with him.

The two of them arrived at the house and joined everyone in the living room.

"About time, Spitter!" Cappie said as he watched his best friend and little brother walk in. "Now that we're all here, we can get started and plan our most outrageous end-of-the-year party. Most of us know that this is the biggest bash that attracts most of the ladies on Greek Row and totally beats the Omega Chis any day."

"Will we have at least enough beer to last the whole party, Cap?" Wade asked as he lounged on the leather sofa.

Scattered sounds of agreement floated around the living room.

"Do not fear, gentlemen. There will be enough alcoholic ambrosia flowing the minute our fiesta begins. It shall be a night that none of us shall forget." Cappie announced with confidence and was rewarded with the shouts of excitement from his brothers.

Rusty tried to participate in the celebrating but ended up dropping his bag of clean clothes onto the floor.

Cappie sighed and looked at his little brother. "Spitter, seriously."

"Sorry, Cappie." He mumbled and began to pick up the clothes when a striking piece of red fabric had been left on the wooden floors.

The president of Kappa Tau walked over to it and picked it up. He looked down at it, his eyes widened, and held it up for Rusty. "Something you want to explain for us, Spitter?"

Rusty's eyes widened in shock and horror as he looked at the red thong. "Oh no."

So, that's the end of Chapter One. I hope you all enjoyed it and I look forward to getting reviews! Please let me know what you think.
