Chap. 1- Welcome
It was my first day at Newport University and my first day living on my own. "Alex honey, do you have everything?" Okay, not yet but I'm almost there.
"Yes mother…" I replied exasperated after answering that question for the millionth time. "Its only college mom," I told her.
"Give your mom a break Lex," an older gentleman said. "Her only child is leaving her." He joked.
"I'm half an hour away!" I replied.
"And I don't see why you can't just stay at home then…" my mother joined us.
"Its call the college experience." I insisted on her. I love my mom but she can be rather difficult at times.
"Fine." She gave up as we continue to bring my things up to my new room. After, my parents finally were able to let go and head home, leaving me to my own accord for the first time. I was excited. Trying to organize my things in my brand new room, I noticed that my roommate has already moved in and settled in. As soon as I was finished with putting things in its place I heard the door open. I looked up to see a tall dirty blonde girl who was sporting a semi formal dress.
"Oh, you must be my roommate!" I heard the girl yelled excitedly and I got to admit I was scared. "I'm Bryanna!" She shouted her name towards me. Yes, I'm definitely scared.
"Uh, hi. I'm Alex." I replied hesitantly.
"You have a boy's name!" Bryanna pointed out and I found myself mentally slapping myself. Really?
"Uh, it's short for Alexandra." I informed her.
"Oh, that makes more sense." She uttered as I simply nodded my head. I couldn't help but smile at her. She seems so naïve. "Anywho, where are you from Alexandra?" She asked me using my full name. I didn't bother.
"I'm from Newport." I answered simply.
"Really? I'm from Santa Barbra," She told me but I was more or less, uninterested.
"Cool." Was all I said before I decided to tune out her voice as she continues to babble on and on about god knows what.
"Let's go!" I snapped out of my trance at her unbelievable high-pitched of a voice. I can pop an eardrum!
"Uh, where?" Like I was going anywhere with her, yet I let her drag me out the door. Great. "Where are you dragging me?" I ask again to no anvil but before I know it I see about another dozen of Bryanna lookalike heading towards one place. It was a really big white house. Literally. "You're kidding?" I snapped at the blonde girl who still has a rather strong grip on my wrist when noticed the three large Greek letters on that large white house. Sorority.
"Nope!" I heard Bryanna replied to my rhetorical question. "You're too hot to not pledge!" She added causing me to blush a bit at the comment.
"No, no, no, no!" I was able to stop and pull away from the death grip, "This…" I waved my hands around to suggest the place and the people, "all this, isn't me. Sororities are for rich spoiled girls with nothing better to do with their time other then glam themselves up and whoring themselves to the frat boys." I said in one breath, "no offence." I finished looking a little apologetic towards Bryanna.
"Well, you haven't been in this one I'm guessing." No shit Sherlock I thought as I heard another voice from behind me. I turned to encounter a tall, lanky brunette whom outfit couldn't scream Ralph Lauren any louder, accompanied by a bunch of other lookalikes. Bitch. She then smirk at me and walked off into the house.
"Who was that?" I asked curiously.
"No clue. Maybe she wants to join as well!" Bryanna yelled excitedly and she once again grabbed a hold of me. I'm going to murder her in her sleep.
Making our way inside as I decided to humor Bryanna for a bit before dashing out of the place. I couldn't help but get excited about the free food. Not bad.
"Hello." A random girl walked up to me.
"Uh, hi?" I replied not sure if it was me she was talking to.
"I'm Summer, how do you do?" She introduced herself politely.
"I'm Alex…andra." I paused a bit before deciding to say my entire name not wanting to relive the Bry moment again. "And I'm doing well…" I replied but the smiled and gave me a nod before walking off. Weird.
"Attention Ladies!" I loud voice rang throughout the house. Wouldn't wanna be yelled at by her! I thought this was the perfect time to ditch but I was a step too slow as Bry has already gotten a hold of me and pulled me towards the stage. "Welcome ladies to Delta Delta Delta and here's your President, Marissa Cooper." The girl announced as everyone then applause for this Marissa. No way!
"Hello ladies and again welcome. As you all must know that Tri Delt look for nothing but the best. We will put you through tests and challenges to see if you are really committed to this family. Look around you, every girl you see up here could be your future sisters and every one of them are nothing but exceptional for this Sorority is not your typical one where you glam up and whore yourself to fraternity boys," At this I say her eye me with a smile. Shit. "We're the making of history at NU. But I want to let you know; you will not all make it but be proud that you were willing to try. Starting tomorrow, the fun begins. Each of you will be given a schedule of the hazing period. Don't' mind the name, its just tradition. We expect you to be on time and properly dressed. For further questions, feel free to ask any one of the girls with a red badge on them. Thank you for coming and I hope to see all again." The girl walked off the stage as girls started to hand out schedules for everyone. This sucks.
