Lizzie sat on the sink, facing the wall. Kate sat on the edge of the bathtub, facing the other wall. Neither one of the girls spoke. They had had a fight, and ended up in the bathroom, like they promised they would. After fifteen minutes of silence, Kate finally sighed and began speaking in a very irritated tone.

"Lizzie, I don't understand why you can't just rush with me! Even if you don't accept your bid you could at least go with me for support!" Kate said.

"I don't know if I want to join a sorority yet or not. I want to wait until I'm ready! Why can't you rush by yourself?" Lizzie defended.

"You're the only person I know here, and I want to go through with a friend. I think we would have fun together! We could even join the same house."

"Ok, you know what...I'll agree to rush with you, but I will not agree to take my bid right away if I get one." Lizzie sighed.

"Thanks, Lizzie! You're the best." Kate said as she got up and hugged Lizzie.

"What all did I just agree to again?"

"Well, it's a week long thing. The first night we meet all the other girls rushing and our Rush Councilor. The second night we visit Delta Phi Delta, Chi Upsilon, and Rho Tau Sigma. Night three we visit Tri-Theta, Phi Alpha, and Psi Epsilon Chi. Night four, we narrow it down to three choices, and night five we narrow it down to two. Then comes Bid Day, where we see what house gave us a bid! It starts next Wednesday, I'm so excited!"

"I guess this could be pretty fun." Lizzie conceded.

The phone rang, and Lizzie, being closest picked it up.

"Hello?"

"¡Hola, chica!" Miranda said.

"Miranda! How's San Diego?" Lizzie asked.

"Big, and lonely without my best friends!"

It had been one week, and already Miranda was starting to feel homesick.

"How's it working out with Michelle? Is she a good roommate?" Lizzie asked.

"Yeah, she's great. We get along pretty well. Hey, I'm coming up this weekend. Mind if I crash at your place tomorrow and Saturday night? I'd stay with Larry, but I don't want to bother his roommate."

"Of course you can! It'll be a sleepover, just like old times. In fact, why don't we invite the boys over for the night too!" Lizzie said, squealing with excitement.

"Great. We'll all get to spend time together. I can't wait. I gotta go though. See you tomorrow! Bye!"

"Bye." Lizzie hung up the phone and looked at Kate. "Looks like we're hosting our first party. Exclusive guest list of course."

"Sounds great. I'll call Ethan and see what the boys are up to." Kate said, taking the cordless from Lizzie. Kate went into her room to call Ethan, and Lizzie plopped down on the couch and started flipping through the channels on the TV.

*Boring*

*Stupid*

*Boring*

*Seen it twice*

*Boring*

*Boring*

'Oh, what's this? Two girls and a really cute guy. Why are they covered in spaghetti and why is one of them dressed like a guy?'

Kate walked out of her room and Lizzie flipped the TV off.

"Ethan and Gordo request a home cooked meal to be served promptly at 8 pm when they arrive." Kate told her.

"I hoped you told them that they better plan on getting here soon if they plan on fixing a home cooked meal, leaving and being back promptly at 8." Lizzie returned.

"Exactly why we're ordering Jimmy John's" Kate said, dialing the phone.

The Jimmy John's delivery man arrived at 7:50, and Gordo and Ethan arrived at 8 to find the food waiting.

Ethan rushed over to the table and grabbed his sandwich. He took a big bite. "Thif isfn't ome coofked, mut it worhs" He said through his sandwich.

"What?" Kate asked.

Ethan swallowed. "This isn't home cooked, but it works."

"It better work, or I'm taking it away!" Kate said, playfully grabbing at Ethan sub. Ethan made a motion like he was going to bite Kate's hand.

"Never try to take food from a hungry man, right Gordon?" Ethan said.

"This is all you man, I'm staying outta this one." Gordo said.

"I knew I picked a smart one." Lizzie said, kissing him.

"What's Larry up to tonight?" Kate asked.

"Him and Bob are having calculator races. They're seeing who can calculate Pi to 300 decimal places first." Gordo said, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, and Bob said his friend, um, Toad, might be coming to visit on Saturday." Ethan added.

"Ethan, that's Frog, not Toad." Gordo told him.

"Great. Maybe they'll want to join the party." Lizzie said.

The four of them ate their dinner, and then spent a quiet night in front of the TV. All were pretty burnt out from their first week of classes. Only one more day of class, then they had the whole weekend to themselves. Ethan and Gordo said their goodbyes and headed home. Kate and Lizzie cleaned up from dinner and went to bed.
