dove in love: Aww, thank you! And yeah, Allegra would definitely kick Abbie's ass.
litafan82: How could you forget? haha. I can just give you the gist of it if you want. I know you've already read EVERYTHING I have ever written. :D
Serena's POV
It's the day before Alex is scheduled to arrive and Abbie and I are lying on my bed, talking about anything and everything that comes to mind. She's absolutely sprung on Megan. Everything she says is 'Megan this' or 'Megan that.' I hate reminding her that Megan has a fiancée, but it's important that she gets that not so minor detail in her head.
"Abbie, I'm only saying this because you're my best friend and I love you more than life itself," I tell her hesitantly. "But I remember my reaction the first time I laid eyes on Allegra Davies when I was 18 years old."
"Which was?"
"I remember feeling as if God had opened up the clouds and released an angel from Heaven down to earth. I remember the sun was shining and illuminating her light brown hair and sparkly blue-green eyes. And then I swear I could hear a heavenly choir singing and—"
"Okay, Serena!" Abbie says as she starts to get frustrated.
"No, Abbie, you don't understand," I tell her. "This girl is Mexican, White, Black, and Japanese. It's like she's a mixture of peoples from the four corners of the world that came together just to create this one beautiful and flawless creature. She might as well be the product of selective breeding."
"Okay, Serena!" Abbie repeats.
"I'm sorry Abbs. It's just that Megan is 100% completely taken by this olive-skinned goddess of a woman."
Abbie buries her face in my pillow and says some inaudible words. "Maybe we can find you an eligible bachelor among some of the guys I went to high school with. Some of them are pretty cute," I tell her.
Abbie picks her head up and looks at me. "A summer fuck? No thanks, Rena."
"Hunter from across the street is a business major at U Penn and he's home for the summer."
"What house does he belong to?" Abbie asks.
"Pi Beta Xi," I answer hesitantly.
"A-ha!" Abbie says. "I knew it. No more frat boys. I'm done with them."
"There's always Matthew," I tease. "He's finally 18."
Abbie rolls her eyes at me and returns to burying her face in the pillow. My brother Matthew is returning home from freshman orientation tomorrow and Abbie is not looking forward to that. He's had a crush on her for three years now and every time she comes over, he follows her around like a lovesick puppy. Poor Abbie. I caught him literally drooling the first time he saw her in a bikini. According to Matthew, Abbie is the "hottest chick who ever lived."
My moping best friend finally picks her head up from the pillow when she hears my phone start to ring. She checks who's calling and hesitates to give me the phone.
"Hey, Rena," she tells me. "Remember that time we watched Grandma's Boy and they joked about getting a phone call from the devil and I thought it was so hilarious that I started saying that every time I answered your phone?"
"Yeah," I say, confused.
"Well, Serena, the phone is for you and this time it really is the devil," she says as she hands me the phone.
It's Casey! What the? "Hello," I say hesitantly.
"Serena, this is important. Is Abbie with you?" she asks.
"Yeah, why?"
"Put this call on speaker phone. I have something you both need to hear."
"What's this about?" I ask that red-headed demon.
"Abbie, I know who Billy cheated on you with. Alejandra saw them holding hands as they were walking out of the frat house."
"I don't even care about Billy anymore," Abbie says to Casey. "I've moved on. His infidelity is not even important to me."
"The fact that he cheated isn't what's important, it's who he cheated on you with," Casey says to Abbie.
"Who was it?" Abbie asks.
"Not so fast," Casey tells her. "This is where Serena comes in. What are you two going to give me if I turn her name over to you?"
"What do you want?" I ask.
"I want immunity," she tells us.
Oh, the pressures of being in charge of Greek Life on campus. "No way," I tell her.
"Serena, the future of your little sorority depends on what I'm about to tell you," Casey says.
"You have immunity for one party and one party only, Novak," I tell her.
"Serena Southerlyn, I thought you cared about your friend and your sorority more than that," Casey tells me. "The Kama Sutra mixer is this fall and so is the Euphoria party. And let's not forget the mixer for when the pledges earn their beads."
My goodness, G-Pi girls are skeezy. "You can do your little bead thing and the Kama Sutra mixer, but I'm not allowing the Euphoria party," I tell her as sternly as I can. "Your little girlfriend was passing out E at the last Euphoria party. I can't allow that."
"Fine," she says in a serious tone of voice. "Just beads and the Kama Sutra mixer…and any slogan we want on a rush t-shirt."
"Deal," I tell her. I've always wondered what it would be like to make a deal with the devil and now I officially have. "Now, who's the girl?"
"Paige Duncan," Casey says to us.
"Paige Duncan?" Abbie says in disbelief. "Our vice-president?"
"That'd be the girl."
"But why?" Abbie asks.
"She wants to overthrow you," Casey says to Abbie. "She says you're Serena's puppet and having you as president of Kappa would just be like having a second term for Serena. I believe she called Serena a 'dyke' and wished that Serena could just get kicked out of Kappa."
"That bitch!" Abbie says angrily.
"Tell me about it. I always knew Paige was a bitch, but I never thought she'd stoop so low."
"Why'd she tell you this?" I ask.
"She didn't," Casey says. "She told Alejandra and Alejandra told me. She doesn't know Alejandra is a lesbian, so that homophobic bitch lets her in on things that she probably shouldn't. I can't wait to see the look on her face when Alejandra and I go to the meetings this fall as a couple."
"Yeah, same here," I tell her.
After we hang up the phone, Abbie and I have a long discussion about our plans for Paige. Senior year hasn't even started and we already have an arch enemy. Things are going to be very interesting in the Kappa house this school year.
