Based on the TV Series Greek, was watching this the other day and had completely forgotten how much I actually liked it so uh, here we are…
Summary: Rie joined SD University and in freshman year managed to stay away from the Greek system and all the hassles that came with it. However, when a steamy (but short) moment with Kai Hiwatari she ends up making enemies with the most popular sorority's president, she ends up joining the Greek system…mistake or not? It depends on the events…

The Greek System
One: The Greek System
Rie Sakata-Evans jiggled the coffee doodad and pressed the hot water button and wiped her forehead, another tiring day at the coffee shop in Stanley Dickinson University. It was a warm day and it was showing in the normally warm shop so it was slightly sweltering.
"Your Latte" she placed the cup down on the counter.
The small, almost petite, young woman took the latte and took a sip, disgust took over her perfectly made up face and she took a better grip of the Marc Jacobs back that was resting on the crook of her arm "This is not decaf or non fat"
Rie narrowed her green eyes and took it back. As she was making a new one, she heard a conversation between the customers.
"Hilary, I love the bag! What are you doing?"
"Getting a latte. I just want to go to Starbucks but the Dean said we need to boost activity on campus and as a Sorority president" the girl said this too smugly "…I need to set an example. I can understand why no-one wants to come here, the service is awful"
Rie returned the latte and slammed it down so some of the foam spat onto the counter "Decaf and non-fat"
The girl and her partner looked mildly irked and walked away.
Rie sighed those girls epitomised everything she had tried to join and then avoid in SDU. The Greek System, with their social hierarchy, cliqueyness and arrogance. She was sure maybe if she was on the inside she wouldn't think that way…but she wasn't so she had hated it. She was too busy anyway, as a freshman she had scrabbled for this job and was in no mood to lose it.
"I like your attitude" a girl with two-tone blonde and brown hair leaned against the counter and grinned. The hair was dishevelled in a just-got-out-of-bed way. Unlike the girl before she wore a fitted t-shirt that bared a toned midriff and torn, stressed skinny jeans.
"Uh, thanks" Rie frowned and squirmed in the silence "…you want something?"
"No…no…" she looked around and sighed "so much new meat…so what are you a sophomore? Junior?"
"Sophomore" Rie frowned.
The girl simply extended her smile when she noted the pissed off look on Rie's face.
"Are you going to get something, I have people to attend to"
"Listen…I'm having a little party tonight, here's the address…I think you'd have lots of fun" the girl took out a business card and pushed it into Rie's hand.
"If you don't come, I'll find you!" she winked and walked away.
Rie snorted and put the card down and went back to serving her customers, she served until the lunchtime rush died down and began cleaning behind the counter.
"Hey Rie" Mathilda appeared looking sleepy "how are you?"
Mathilda Bryson was Rie's fellow co-worker and best friend, they had been in dorms together last year. Mathilda provided a much needed relief from Rie's very weird roommate.
"Where have you been?"
"With Tala"
Mathilda was also dating Tala Valkov, a very playful and good looking Russian.
"Oh, at the Omega chi house?" Rie asked nonchalantly.
"Ha-ha" Mathilda reached up and ruffled Rie's thick hair "I know you don't really like the Greeks, but they are all not that bad!"
"Isn't Tala like president?"
"Treasurer" Mathilda corrected, she began to help clean up and noted the card "Hey, is this yours?" she waved it.
Rie shrugged "I guess so"
"When did you meet Julia Barthez?"
"Who?"
"The President of the Tri-pi's!"
"Huh?" Rie's pretty face was pulled into a deeper scowl.
"The owner of this card"
Rie finally looked up from wiping the counter and it clicked "oh yeah, two-tone…she left a few minutes just before you came actually, said 'I had attitude'" Rie snorted.
"What did she want? Apart from your ass" Mathilda said crudely.
"Ha-ha, she said there was a party tonight"
"Oh, yeah…Tala was telling me about this, I might go with him"
"Why?" Rie leaned next to Mathilda and took a sip from the soda can she had helped herself to from the fridge.
"The Tri-pi's are notorious for being the Greek system's bikes…"
"Oh well, then I'm even less interested"
"I dunno, apparently their new president…this Julia Barthez is trying to change that…apparently she wants Tri-pi to surpass ZBZ"
"Speak stop with the Greek lingo" Rie rolled her eyes and grinned.
"Zeta Beta Zeta…actually, I'd be more worried if Tala was going to a ZBZ party but…still, come…I'll be going! It should be good!"
"I highly doubt it"
"Pleasssseee" Mathilda whined "come for me, it would look even better if you came because I could be your plus one! It can't look like I'm checking up on Tala. Pleaaaaaseee Rie, PLEAAAASE!"
"Okay, okay but if I have a bad time, which I know I will…I am holding you liable"
XxXxXxXxXx
Rie dug her hands into her leather bomber jacket and yawned "Mathilda!" she called up at the window again "I'm going back to dorms!"
"Wait!" Mathilda leaned out of the window "I'm just getting a jacket!"
Rie sighed and looked at her phone for the time before slipping it back into her pocket. She couldn't believe she was being dragged to a Frat party but she was going solely for Mathilda's relationship. Solely that.
Mathilda appeared, her blue eyes lit up and her cheeks slightly red from running down the stairs.
"Sorry, sorry!" Mathilda huffed and ruffled her hair quickly.
"That's fine" Rie muttered and began the walk to the Greek Street.
"Thanks so much for coming, I owe you"
Mathilda gave her such a sincere smile, Rie couldn't help but grin as well.
The girls settled into a light, playful banter and were soon on their desired street. They went towards a small mansion style house with the Tri-pi logo all over it. Mathilda and Rie stared up at the booming, colourful house and then looked at each other.
"You first" Rie insisted.
Mathilda sucked it up and walked up to the door and knocked on it and waited. Rie stood next to her and they both stood awkwardly waiting for the door to be opened.
"I don't think they can hear us…" Mathilda noted.
"Oh never mind" Rie went to turn and Mathilda grabbed her collar, stopping her "damn it"
Mathilda knocked again harder and this time the door opened.
"Oh attitude coffee girl you came and you brought a friend!"
The two girls stared comically at Julia. She was wearing a full on diving suit, with a rubber ring sitting on her hips, bear foot slippers on her legs and a sombrero on her long hair which still managed to have the 'bed head' look.
"Mathilda!" Mathilda held out a hand "This is Rie"
"Rie, interesting" Julia nodded her eyes wild and slightly manic, she glanced at Mathilda outstretched hand "Oh!" she grabbed a drink and stuffed it in her hands "Right?" she looked eagerly at Mathilda, as if it was a drink Mathilda was asking for. Not a handshake.
"Riiiiight…"
"Come in! Come in!"
The halls were busy with girls filtering in and out of the two rooms on either side of the entrance hall.
"I'm so sorry, I've had to flutter between the Omega Chi's and Kappa Tau's they refuse to talk to each other unless they are fighting words" she rolled her eyes "there's punch in both rooms"
Mathilda nodded and smiled as Julia waddled away, her sombrero jigging on her head. Rie caught Mathilda's eyes and made a crazy notion referring to Julia.
"So which room, do you want to go in?" Mathilda asked, her eyes suggestive.
"Omega Chi?" Rie proceeded to look bored but Mathilda had already sped ahead.
Rie sighed and rolled her eyes as she followed Mathilda, she blinked at the couple making out violently in the corner and sped up slightly.
She grimaced as she stepped into the room, the Omega Chi's always scared her with their clean shirts, chinos and loafers. They always, always looked like they were networking. Apart from Tala who was now giving Mathilda a loving grin and a teasing look.
"I didn't come for you, I came for Rie!" Mathilda said hotly.
"And where is…oh hello dearest Rie"
"Tala" Rie said in a flat tone, giving Tala a flat look.
"Haha, you always make me laugh" Tala slapped her on the back.
"Ummm" Rie said looking around.
"What are you doing in Tri-pi, anyway?" Tala asked, cocking his head.
"I was invited by the president, herself" Rie filled in.
Mathilda nodded when Tala shot her an asking look.
"Interesting, so are you thinking of pledging?"
"To what?" the two girls asked together.
"To Tri-pi" Tala exclaimed.
"No" Rie yawned "I don't think I can handle being in a fraternity"
"Sorority Rie, sorority" Tala teased.
"What's with the getup?" Rie teased back, Tala looked quite laid back, polo shirt, dark jeans and smart shoes.
Tala stood tall "I look hot"
"You do" Mathilda smiled and went up to kiss him on the lips.
Rie rolled her eyes "I'm going to get a drink" she walked away and trailed out of the 'Omega Chi ' room and into the 'Kappa Tau' room. It looked a lot more fun, people were raving, creating the bulk of the noise. There was more frenzied making out and lots more alcohol. The room was actually glowing from green to blue to red and it was hot and there seemed to be a smell about it.
Rie wandered over to the table and took a red cup and began filing it up.
"Are there any chunks in it?" a guy sidled up to her.
"Not that I'm aware" she replied and looked, she was frowning but her face relaxed and broke into a smile.
He was tall, fairly well built but still a little lean. He had golden eyes and large, thick ebony hair. He was slightly tanned and bore jeans, converses and a t-shirt saying 'Do me Now'. His wrists were covered in bangles and his fingers also bore a few rings.
'Alternative' Rie thought.
"Are you a tri-pi? I don't think I've slept with you before…" he grinned easily.
His smile was so warming, Rie simply snorted into her cup before taking a sip "I'm not in Tri-pi"
"ZBZ? A chick as pretty as you must definitely be ZBZ"
"I'm not in a sorority…in fact, I'm just not a fan of the Greek system"
"That's a shame…" he looked wistful before breaking into another charming grin "Are you any good at drinking games?"
XxXxXxXxXx
By the time Rie had wandered out of the Kappa Tau room, she was feeling a lot happier, a lot lighter and a lot less aware of herself and her surroundings. She giddily focused on her phone, a few messages from Mathilda enquiring into her whereabouts. By the time she had managed to successfully get back to the Omega Chi room, Mathilda and Tala had shacked up in a corner and looked like they had been doing so for a while.
She let out a comical groan and scratched her head, she turned and bumped into someone.
"Crap, I'm sorry" she slurred and blinked, another good looking guy…maybe the Greek system wasn't that bad.
He was fiercely beautiful with crimson eyes and blue markings on his face. He blinked at her and stopped as if…enraptured by her. He nodded "that's okay" he said in a deep, smooth tone.
"Man, lucky people" Rie turned comically to Mathilda and Tala.
"Indeed" he took note of the girl with the caramel skin, thick brown hair and green eyes "I'm Kai Hiwatari"
"Rie Sakata-Evans"
"Japanese?"
"A little bit" she slurred and indicated with her fingers smiling.
Kai had to smile, and he normally wasn't one for smiling "…do you want to go upstairs?"
She stopped swaying and focused on him and looked thoughtful, she swallowed and nodded slowly.
"Okay"
She followed Kai, unaware that Julia Barthez was grinning at the pair ascending up the stairs.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Hilary" Mariah whined picking at her pink, manicured nails which crazily matched her pink hair "I don't understand why we are going to this party…a lot of the girls are whispering…we don't like the tri-pi's" Mariah said as if speaking to a small child.
"I know that" Hilary replied sharply, adjusted the kilted skirt and flicked at her mid-length wavy hair.
"So why are we going?"
Hilary stopped in front of the lawn of the noisy house and spun on her little Prada heels "Ladies of Zeta Beta Zeta and pledges" she said loudly in her firm, cheery tone "I understand many of you are not happy about this event. We do not associate with the Tri-pi's. They are beneath us…they are skanky" she clasped her hands in front of her.
The ladies tittered at her last remark.
"But the fact of the matter is they managed to land Kappa Tau and Omega Chi, not that we care so much about KT, to their welcoming party…our Omega Chi boyfriends and future husbands are in there" she gave a wide smile.
The primped, high-class girls all looked shocked and nodded and clapped at Hilary.
"That is how you rule" she noted to Mariah and walked up to the door.
She adjusted her shirt and knocked on the door and waited. The door opened and Raymond Kon, the President of Kappa Tau leaned against the doorframe and folded his arms.
"Well, this is a sight…the whole ZBZ house…at my feet" he grinned "Hello Hilary"
"Raymond, where is Julia?"
Ray signalled to someone and fired off Cantonese quickly and turned back to Hilary "What ever happened between us?"
"It was a drunken mistake" Hilary cleared her throat, Mariah at the bottom of the steps craning eagerly to see Ray "a big one, which I regret"
"I didn't" and he waggled his tongue.
The door opened further and a weirdly dressed Julia adjusted her sombrero "Crap, this is a surprise…are you ladies lost?" she asked loudly.
"No, we're not" Hilary let out a quick, fake laugh "the invite is open and we would…like…to…join you…all" she gave a prize-winning smile.
"Oh, well" Julia looked at Ray and crossed her arms "we didn't think you'd come…y'know with the friendly rivalry with Beta and Pi".
Friendly rivalry was an understatement.
"Well we're here" Hilary's voice took on the shrill note it did when things weren't quite going her way "are you going to let us in?"
Julia looked at Ray who nodded, she stepped aside "Come in"
"Ladies" Hilary gestured and waited for them all to enter "thank you" she added forcefully.
"My pleasure" Julia muttered and closed the door.
Hilary walked into the Kappa Tau room, and immediately turned as she was greeted with whoops and wolf whistles. She marched across the hallway not really liking the light purple and off white colour, to the crèmes, and light blue colour of the ZBZ house.
She walked into the Omega Chi room and smiled, instantly feeling easier, she turned and jumped at Julia behind her. She gave a noise of disgust when Julia smiled eagerly.
"Where's Kai?" she called out.
No-one replied.
"He's here right? Tala, where is Kai?" Hilary asked loudly.
"I dunno Hil" Tala looked sheepish.
Hilary looked around sensing the uneasy atmosphere, she whipped around "Have you seen him?" she asked Julia.
Julia also looked sheepish and shrugged and smiled, but her eyes flittered to the stairs and back to Hilary and she gave a wider smile.
XxXxXxXxXx
Rie held Kai's face and gasped as his fingers began to work the wet folds of her. She arched into him and let out a soft moan, lying back on the desk in the room, they had randomly stumbled into.
Kai bent over her, trailing kisses up her taut stomach and over the mound on her breast, focusing on her nipples. She was slim, great athletic body, with so much more than he was used to…
She pulled him up further with her legs.
They barely registered the stomping footsteps.
Kai jerked up straight as the door opened, Rie lazily sat up pressing into him.
"Kai?" Hilary took in Kai and the tanned girl pressing into him.
"Oh, Kai, dude!" Ray laughed and high-fived his second in command Tyson "people have to see this!"
"Oh my…fuck!" Mathilda barged past Tala and Hilary "Rie…" she whispered "you're so drunk…get dressed!" she pulled the t-shirt over Rie and dragged her out.
Hilary stared at Kai, a blank look took over her face.
Kai lazily pulled on his shirt and startedbuttoning up his top slowly.
"What was that?" Hilary asked, her teeth gritted.
"It was nothing" Kai replied coolly, not looking at her.
"It didn't look like nothing!" Hilary's voice took on a shrill tone "what is going on Kai? Why…why?"
"Because Hilary, you have been pissing me off lately" and he brushed past her like she was nothing.
Ta-da…first chapter, I've got the second chapter done. I dunno how regularly I plan to update this, this is really to help my writer's block for another story. I'm going away soon so the next few days will be frenzied so I may not update straight away…but your reviews and comments would be much appreciated.
Thanks
