Lela
Jerrica dropped me off at my apartment at college. I had missed roll call with the sorority I was pledging due to the fact that I was in the hospital. I just hope that the older "sisters" don't kick me out because of it. I had told Jerrica that I was going to rest but I can't. I walked down fraternity lane, which is where all the frat houses are. I ran into a guy from my Education classes, Steven.
"Where have you been? You missed roll call. Stephanie is really upset about it" Steven asked me.
Stephanie is the one in charge of the sorority I am pledging. Steven pledged a fraternity last year, so he knows what goes on. Steven is also Stephanie's brother.
"I was in a car accident; I had a heart attack and crashed my car into a telephone pole and was just released from the hospital." I said.
"I can talk to Stephanie, explain it to her." Steve asked.
"Okay, I guess. Listen I had my license suspended, because of the accident. Can I catch a ride with you to the elementary school for my internship?" I said.
"Yes, I will take you." Steve said and then we walked to the sorority house.
"Sis, I brought Lela." Steven said to Stephanie when we walked into the house.
"Where have you been? You missed roll call." Stephanie said angrily.
"Sis, relax. Lela couldn't help it, she was in the hospital." Steve said to my defense.
"The hospital? Why?" Stephanie asked.
"I was in a car accident." I said.
"We will let it slip by this time, don' let it happen again." Stephanie said to me.
At the end of the week, I will know if I made it. Then I can really rest without the stress. I have to spend the weekends at home. I can't tell Jerrica about pledging. If she knew, she would want me to quit. Especially if that type of stress is what caused my hear attack.
