Disclaimer: I do not own any GREEK characters except those that I create...and I will constantly wish that I owned Cappie
I love the comments you all keep sending me! I'm so glad that you're enjoying the story so far. I guess I do happen to be obsessed with GREEK that much if I can nail Cappie's voice down. lol. I hope you enjoy this next chapter.
Chapter Three
Angela looked at Rusty across the table as they sat out in the warm sun. "You'll have to repeat that once more for me, Rusty. I don't think I caught any of it."
He just turned red once more and tried to avoid looking at her. "I was wondering exactly what you had to do in order to become a ZBZ." Mentally, he wanted to kick himself. He was trying to gain the courage to ask her to attend the party that was starting tonight. He had tried to ask her so many times, but ended up asking some random question.
She let out a snicker and leaned back into the chair. "I doubt you want to know how to get into ZBZ. Of course, there was the whole pledge thing and some hazing, but my chapter was somewhat of a bore. Granted, they were also part of a university that's very modest and religious, so we didn't exactly get the chance to party as much as you all do."
Rusty was just about to respond, but was cut off with a sharp wolf whistle.
The pair looked up to see the Kappa Tau pledges walking towards them and he literally turned pale in the bright sunlight.
"Friends of yours?" Angela smirked.
"Good job, Spitter! I really didn't think you were going to be able to pull off passing the word about the Kappa Tau party tonight." Ben Bennett chuckled as he patted Rusty's shoulder a little harder than the boy liked. He held out his hand towards the girl. "I'm Ben Bennett."
She shook it and gave him a polite nod. "Angela Thompson."
"Nice to meet you. Hey, listen, Spitter, we need you to help us pick out the last minute decorations for the party." He said with a slight nudge.
"But, we already pick-"
The other pledges helped him out of his chair and began to push him in the other direction.
Ben gave the girl a smile and followed behind his brothers.
"Boys." She scoffed and drank her tea.
The Kappa Tau pledges quickly rushed Rusty back into the House where the other KT members were sitting in the living room. Cappie watched them stumble in and Rusty quickly faceplanted on the floor.
"No! Bad Spitter! What did I tell you about making face prints on the floor?" he scolded his younger brother. "You cannot do until after the party or unless you are too drunk to move even your pinky."
Wade turned to look over the couch. "So, is Beaver in trouble?"
"We managed to clean up around him. I don't think anyone will notice. If they do, we can just draw the chalk outline of Eager Beaver and call it a theme party."
Ben Bennett had a huge grin on his face. "Like cops and robbers?"
All the guys started to laugh and had huge grins on their faces.
"All right, enough of your sick, but pleasant ideas for our party. Where was Spitter hiding this time? With Crabs, his fun buddy?"
Rusty picked himself up from the ground and brushed off his shirt and pants. "I was having coffee with a girl from my literature class. The one I met at the Laundromat."
All the other guys except the pledges groaned.
"What?" he asked in confusion.
Cappie let out a sigh. "Spitter, you don't pick girls up while washing your tighty whities. It shows them how vulnerable you are and that you actually do wash your clothes. What kind of reputation are you making for yourself, Rusty?"
"I don't think so, Cappie. We saw the chick he was hanging out with. She looked really hot." Ben disagreed.
Their president narrowed his eyes. "Tri Phi?"
Beaver sat up at the mention of the word.
The pledge shrugged.
"She's a ZBZ." Rusty muttered while trying to avoid looking into all the eyes that just suddenly magnetized to him. "She transferred from her old school to attend CRU, but because of the whole thing that happened, she didn't let the House know and the House probably didn't know because of all the stuff they had to go through."
Cappie nodded and leaned back in his chair. "Have you invited her to our fiesta?"
"Not yet. I was trying to before these guys picked me up and dragged me away." He whined and scowled at his pledge brothers.
"More like beating around the bush."
Cappie sighed. "Spitter, if you want, I will go with you and hold your hand while you ask this chick to go to our party with you. Tell you what, I'll even make you big cue cards so you'll know what to say without screwing it up."
Wade snorted. "I don't think that's possible, Cap."
Everyone in the room laughed except for Rusty.
"I'll ask the next time I see her."
"What if that happens to be after tonight? Spitter, as your older brother and President, I demand that you bring this girl to our party. How else are we going to approve of her if we don't even know she exists?"
Ben Bennett frowned. "What about the fact that we saw her?"
"Did you, Ben? Did you see her?"
Rusty just rolled his eyes and inwardly groaned about the fact that he had to ask Angela to the party and fast before she made up her mind and considered him a psychopath. He left the KT House and headed towards back to his dorm room to change. He noticed Dale had gone out to meet with other SAG members and sat on his bed.
A knock interrupted him from his thoughts and went to open it.
He saw Angela standing there wearing a black off the shoulder blouse and black skinny jeans with red pep toe heels to match her red earrings. Her black hair had been straightened and she dusted some glitter powder on her tan skin. She smirked and looked at him. "Well? Aren't you ready yet?"
Rusty just stood there and gaped at her leaning the doorway. He shook his head a little. "What?"
"The KT party. It's tonight."
"Yeah, but I-"
She smirked and placed a finger against his lips. "Look, Rusty. I know you've been trying to gain the courage to ask me to the party so you'll have someone and not feel like the awkward pledge who doesn't seem to have any luck with the opposite sex. So, I offer you this. We go as friends. Despite how awesome and sweet you are, you're just not my type."
He was somewhat disappointed, but smiled. "It's okay. You seem to be smoother than I am, anyway, so I'd really like to just go as friends."
Angela smiled. "Good. Now, hurry up. I'll wait for you out here." She closed the door and left him to get dressed.
Rusty quickly got changed into a dark blue plaid shirt with a black shirt under it along with khaki cargo pants. He opened the door to see her leaning against the wall. "Okay, are you ready to go?"
"Been ready, hot stuff. Let's go blow your friends away." She teased and fixed his collar.
Cappie and the other KTs had started the party the minute it was dark. Girls from different sororities quickly filled the house and each KT member was either making out, making moves, or passed out with some girl.
Rebecca smirked as she looked around the frat house and turned to Cappie. "Looks like you managed to actually pull off a good party."
He clutched his heart as if he were in pain. "Such words! Now, be a good girl and try to at least act civil to Rusty. He's bringing over a girl he met."
"Rusty? Cappie, you've got to be joking." She scoffed and brushed some imaginary dirt off her shoulder.
Angela and Rusty entered the KT house and tried their best to avoid getting crushed by the huge crowd. They made their way out into the living room where many couples were flirting or making out.
"Anything like your old school?" Rusty shouted over the roar of music.
She laughed and opened her mouth to respond.
"ANGELA!" someone yelled.
The pair turned to look at who shouted out her name so urgently.
The girl smirked and glanced at Rusty. "You could say that."
