Chapter Two
Rusty looked around his Literature class to see if Angela had arrived yet. He headed back out into the hall and ran into her as she walked in. "Angela!" He said with relief and shock at the same time. He picked up his book that fell from his hand.
"Rusty. Wow, you sure do know how to respond to challenges quickly, don't you?" she replied and headed to her desk in the back corner.
He followed her back there. "Angela, when we were at the Laundromat yesterday, I think you forgot something."
She placed her huge black tote bag against the chair and looked at him. "What's that?"
He discreetly pulled the red thong from a pocket on the inside of his jacket. "Believe me, it happened to commit its crime of humiliating me." He said with a smirk and tried to hand it to her.
Angela chuckled and crossed her arms over her chest. "Sorry, hot shot, but that's not mine."
Rusty looked confused and glanced down at it. "Of course it is. You pulled them out of the dryer and tossed it into my basket."
She shook her head and pulled her jeans down a little to show the strap of her thong. "I think you have another girl's panties on your hands there, stud."
He dropped the thong as if it were a disease. "Oh my god, please don't let it be Tina's." he whimpered.
"Who?"
Rusty gave her an awkward look. "She was my 'fun' buddy for a while."
"Fun buddy?" Angela gave him a confused look, then her eyes widened in recognition. "Ah, I see."
"She also gave me crabs." He muttered. He noticed her start to move back. "It's okay. The doctors got rid of them. Let's just say that I won't be anyone's 'fun' buddy for a long, long time."
She laughed and sat down at her desk. "Well, Rusty, you can always say she gave you something to remember her by." She leaned back into the seat and glanced down at the panties on the floor. "Well, the least you could do is just throw the thing away. Just make sure no one sees you. I'm sure that's the last thing you need right now."
He chuckled. "Yeah." He watched her pull her raven colored hair into a ponytail. "So, did you happen to start on our research paper about mythology?"
She shook her head with a confident smile. "Nope. Probably won't start it for a few days anyway."
Just when Rusty was about to respond, Dr. Granger walked in and motioned for the boy to take his seat. So, the rest of class went by with Granger lecturing on some sort of nonsense dealing with how a particular concept doesn't coincide with a certain theme or some mumbo jumbo. The class dragged on for the next hour and fifteen minutes and the ringing of the clock tower bells saved each student.
Rusty tried to shove his pile of notebooks into his bag and catch up with Angela, but the minute he was able to leave the class, she had vanished. He let out a sigh and started to head towards his dorm to get something to eat.
Once class was over for the day, Rusty headed to the Kappa Tau House to help organize for the party. He noticed Ben Bennett and rushed over to join the rest of the pledges. "Hey, guys. What are we doing?"
"Cappie assigned us for spreading the word to the ladies about the party. He wants it to be filled with hot drunk chicks." Ben snickered.
"Why doesn't he get Rebecca to do it? She's in ZBZ and can probably recruit a whole bunch of girls from there." Rusty replied with a confused look on his face, which never really seemed to disappear for a long period of time.
The pledges sighed in exasperation.
Ben looked at Rusty. "Spitter, Cappie is relying on us to get the word spread out there. Not Rebecca. Besides, he'll probably be too busy with her to even notice how the party is going. So, just find random hot chicks on campus, preferably the Tri Phis, and let them know about the party. We owe it to Cappie, guys. He's the one that helped us get this far."
The pledges nodded in agreement.
"That's it? Just spreading the word? Usually, Cappie wants us to clean the bathrooms or scrub the floors at least." Rusty protested.
"Ah! Good suggestion, Spitter!" Cappie grinned as he walked into the living room. "Another task for you to finish, pledges. Now, get to it!" Then, he headed to the back of the house to help Wade.
Rusty winced when he heard his pledge brothers groan. "I'll get the mop."
After scrubbing the floors of the Kappa Tau House for four hours straight, Rusty headed back to the Laundromat to put his dirty shirts in the washer. He was too tired to argue over the fact that it wasn't a big load and could wait, but he happened to like his grey shirt.
"Wow, we really got to stop meeting this way."
He turned his tired eyes to see Angela leaning against a dryer, wearing a green tank top and black sweat pants. "Hey. I was looking for you after class, but you sort of ran out of there." He teased.
"Sorry about that. I have a job after class so I really can't afford to stop and talk." She explained and noticed how exhausted he seemed. "So, Rusty Cartwright, what's got you so beat? Looks like you spent the entire evening scrubbing floors."
"I did. Kappa Tau is throwing the end-"
"The end-of-the-year party." She finished for him as she sat on top of the washing machine. "I'm actually a ZBZ."
He frowned at her. "You can't be. I haven't seen you at the ZBZ House."
Angela just smirked. "I'm a transfer ZBZ. I transferred here to CRU for the Spring semester and was going to introduce myself at the ZBZ house until I got wind of what happened last semester and heard that Lizzy was there. I've met Lizzy before and I did not want to have a reunion." She pulled out a load of laundry as the dryer let out a buzzing noise.
Rusty looked away when he heard the past being mentioned. It was true. He wasn't really over Jen K. and all the things she had done to him, his brothers, his sister, and so on. He might've had flings during the semester, especially with Tina, but Jen K. would always remain his first. He cleared his throat and watched her fold her clothes. "So, what's your major? I mean, you never really told me."
She chuckled and glanced over at him. She folded her shirt and placed it on top of another one in a neat pile. "I'm an Education major. My specialty will be elementary education with a minor in reading."
He let out a small laugh. "You want to teach?"
"About as much as you want to do whatever it is with polymer science." Angela finished folding her clothes and put them into a tote bag. "We should try to meet sometime out of this place, Rusty. I don't think I could handle anymore dirty laundry." She teased.
The young Cartwright just grinned at her despite the fact he was exhausted. "Maybe we could have coffee sometime before class or whenever you don't have work."
Her brown eyes gleamed in amusement as she nodded in agreement. "Sounds like a plan to me. See you around, Rusty." She winked at him over her shoulder and walked out of the Laundromat.
He gave her an awkward wave and lowered his hand down.
"Dude, why don't you ask her to go with you to Kappa Tau party?" Calvin asked as they walked together to class the next day.
Rusty shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe because I really don't know her and maybe she's not really into the whole party thing. I mean, she goes to work and school. She might not have time is what I mean."
Calvin rolled his eyes. "Rusty, if she's a ZBZ, she's probably into the whole party idea. Considering everything that's happened this semester, there hasn't exactly been a good time to throw a party since Dean Bowman's been on the Greeks since the beginning."
He just remained silent as they continued walking.
His friend sighed and placed a hand on Rusty's shoulder. "Look, man. If you like the girl, just have coffee with her and invite her to the party. What's the worse that could happen?"
