A/N – Another chapter, another post on the Student X website, and no one is any closer to finding out who Student X is
A/N 2 – I've let the last names up to a random generator so I wasn't in the most creative mood at the time- unless it was specified in the films
Chapter 09
Student X here, give me a D, give me a U for the D.U's very own cheerleading squad. Oh my, three guys running at the front – I suppose a congratulations are in order for Aladdin, Clopin and Kristoff, you and your leading ladies – Jasmine, Rapunzel, Anna, Charlotte and Tink. Esmeralda and Nala have a lot of training on their hands…"

Whoever thought of this Student X website needs a medal – it's the only thing that keeps everything going on in the campus interesting. According to one of the PHD students, Student X had a PO box somewhere in the town that you can post evidence and stuff to, and I'm pretty sure that there's an email and phone number on the website that people have been known to drop a line on.
I know, because I've done so.
Yes, I had submitted a little something to the Student X website, but it's all a part of my plan. My plan to get Eric back. He's another senior who is studying business and law – his parents are super keen on him becoming a lawyer. Back in the summer, he had been dating the swimming team star, Ariel Cavallo and they were the 'it' couple of our junior year at the D.U. But little did everyone know, that there's a dark secret looming in their relationship. Not that I'm going to tell you that just yet, because that would be telling, but you'll find out, in due course.
So we were still in the first month of the new year at the Disney University – the club fair had taken place, and the sports trails had happened already. Now, is where it got interesting. Because it was time for the rush. The recruitment of PNMs. Potential New Members. That's right, here on the D.U, we had a sorority. No fraternity, but we did have a sorority known as Omega Delta.
There was a sorority house near the centre of the campus so it was a prime location of having the privilege of staying in. Unlike other universities, the majority of the seniors and PHD students chose to stay on campus, but that doesn't mean that there aren't students that live off campus.
The heads of the Sorority were originally Cinderella, Aurora and Snow – but when Cinderella carried on her studies and chose to do a PHD in English Literature, she stepped down as President of the Omega Delta house.
So that left an open spot, to which I naturally pushed to take up the opportunity, and much to my shock and dismay, Snow and Aurora agreed. As if they thought I had something on them. Now, you're talking to Vanessa, the president of the Omega Delta house. Rush day is approaching, and I've got Aurora and Snow to help me organise it- even if they weren't the most helpful people in the hole. The other seniors that were members of the sorority was short. It included myself, Aurora, Snow, Ariel, Megara, Belle and occasionally Jenny Foxworth would poke her nose in where it didn't belong. 'It's just so that I know that everything in the house is running smoothly.' Even if our house mother, genuinely known as Fairy Godmother, had everything under control and somehow managed to tidy up any issues and problems that may arise inside the house.
The Rush day was ready and I was keen to get it under way. There was a small crowd of girls outside, some of whom I recognised, and others that I didn't. As I opened the front door of the Omega Delta house, I smiled slyly, judging each and every girl that was standing in front of the house. It was going to be the perfect day and I was the one in charge. Life could not have been any more perfect.
But I was so unaware of what was about to unfold before my very eyes.
"Potential pledges, this is the Omega Delta sorority house. I am the President of Omega Delta. Here, at the Omega Delta house, you will be put through your paces in order to prove whether or not you are Omega Delta pledges. Come on in – we are waiting for us to meet all of you individually. Our very own Fairy Godmother had organised a light lunch for you." I swept my arms up and beckoned the girls into the house.
Aurora and Snow followed me into the room Fairy Godmother had set up for us to hold interviews in. It had one grand, antique chair with two slightly less grand chairs for my assistants to sit in.
"Let's begin this…" I said, ringing the bell for Fairy Godmother to send the first potential pledge.
A prim looking girl wearing a little denim pinafore and bright blue striped top walked into the room. She was a little nervous as she sat down, pulling her pinafore down as she lowered herself to the seat, before I had offered her a seat.
"Take a seat…" I remarked sarcastically. "And you are…?"
"I'm Alice, Liddell. Alice Liddell."
Instinctively, I leant forwards- this was the girl whose father was well known for this elusive Wonderland pill, it was apparently like some kind of drug. The aftermath of the drug sounded like something I had never experienced before!
"Oh right, so- you're an art and design student, studying with Miss Centrella. What do you think of her?" I asked, wondering what to make of the young girl.
"She's my lecturer, and teacher, and of course, I haven't really had a proper session with her yet. That's an unusual question if you don't mind me saying."
"Never mind me, this is Snow White- our social chair, she also has a
question to ask." I let Aurora and Snow- who asked a relevant question.
For me, Alice was a prim, sweet and outspoken individual who could find herself in our sorority. Potential, but maybe I just wanted her to be my sister so that she would bring the Wonderland pill to our house. It would really help to mesh the group, and I couldn't help but accept the possibility of challenging the pledges.
The next girl was my utter rush crush. She was the youngest of the three Bimbette sisters. A little musical, a gorgeous and attractive girl who was so confident, she reminded me a little of myself. Laurette was such a cutie, and she practically idolised me – so it was a win, win situation for me if she was to become a sister.
There were a load more girls after her- Tiana, Shanti, Rapunzel, Anna, Charlotte and even this girl called Merida who looked as though she had stuck her finger in a power socket.
The girls who wanted to be potential new members were waiting outside the Omega Delta house, waiting for myself, Aurora and Snow to address them and let them know about the next step. It was so empowering- even if Aurora and Snow disagreed with the ways in which I ran the rush day, but I wasn't Cinderella Howell, so why should I bother to be like her – I am my own person. I am Vanessa Price.
"Ladies, thank you all so much for coming to Omega Delta's very own rush day- as President of Omega Delta, I cannot wait to get to know the new pledges in due course. Keep your eyes open for invitations to the after rush party and-"
Out of nowhere, a can of red paint was thrown in my direction by some of the senior boys – specifically Hercules, Adam, Eric and Phoebus. The paint made a huge splatter sound as it hit both me, the other two, the walls and the door of the Omega Delta house.
A scream echoed from my mouth as I screwed my eyes shut.
"This commends the start of Alpha Kappa Kappa fraternity!" Hercules yelled out, lifting the paint bucket over his head and gathering the attention of passers-by. "Omega Delta isn't going to know what hit them!"
Another scream echoed from the bottom of my lungs as I noticed Eric grinning at me covered in blood. I probably looked like I had just stepped out of the film Carrie.
Not a good start for the new President of the D.U's sorority, Omega Delta.
That night, I held a meeting with my sister. Aurora and Snow had gathered up Ariel, Megara and Belle in order to discuss the next plan of action against Alpha Kappa Kappa.
"So what do we do with this new fraternity?" I asked, with a once white towel in my hands. After showering all the paint out of my hair and off my skin, I was left with my dark brown hair now tinted in a red shade. "I cannot have Omega Delta meshing with Alpha Kappa Kappa…"
Megara rolled her eyes. "Well, they do have a right to start a fraternity after the D.U has had a sorority for a few years, it's only fair that with every ying, there is a yang. For there is no Apollo without Artemis."
"Are you sure that you aren't just saying this because Hercules is in the group of potential frat boys?" I fired right back at her. "But then again, it would appear that some of us all seem to have a special link to the new frat boys." A smirk crept across my face as I saw Ariel flinch at my comment – she knew I was talking about Eric.
Originally, she and Eric had been in a relationship for the majority of the last year, but an event that took place caused them to instantly break up – so he came running to me. We've been secretly seeing each other every now and again, but as far as I was aware, not many people would know about it, unless they had seen us together.
"Regardless, there isn't much that we are allowed to do right now, is there?" Snow asked, her eyes darting about between the girls in the room.
No one said anything, until our mobiles began to ring.
"Looks like Student X has struck again…" I sighed, pulling up the email. "You never said why you were in Greece over the holidays, Meg?"
"It was just a holiday, nothing special Vanessa- not that it's any of your business where I go and who I go with…" Meg snapped back, before covering her mouth. "No way- is this what they did to you?" It was clear that she was finding the situation comical, but holding back the laughter.
Student X here, Om-my-delta! It seems that Alpha Kappa Kappa have made their mark on the President Price of Omega Delta on the infamous Rush Day. But that paint's left her hair looking like a senior we all know and love studying Bioscience here. Maybe there's something someone's trying to change about Vanessa to make her more like the swimming pro… No prize for who I'm talking about.
Thoughts from AspiringWriterGirl = I hadn't written about this story for a while, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to start a new chapter from The Little Mermaid's, Vanessa's point of view – what did you think?
