A College Lie (A College Tale #2)

Chapter 26 - Toga time pt.2 | Dax

"You owe me for this, I was doing perfectly fine at home with my textbooks" I mumble angrily at Mac. I know I shouldn't use that tone against my captain so I stick to mumbling like a cowardly child. The last thing I wanted to do tonight was to dress up in a toga, it's december for christ sake, what are they thinking over at Delta Delta?!

"What?" Mac asks and looks at me with a look in his eyes that lets me know he heard every word I said.

"Nothing" I mumble angrily, like a little disobedient child back to him.

Why I have to be there is beyond me. He said it had something to do with the team and some obligation and some other shit that I kind of tuned out on when he explained, all I know is that I apparently have to make an appearance for some reason I don't care about.

"Why togas in december then, don't they know it's freezing outside?" I now speak louder so he can hear me clearly this time.

"Don't ask me, chicks are weird. When someone cracks the code on the female species he deserves the nobel prize" I can only agree with that. Girls are weird and half of the time I have no idea what they are doing or why. All I know is that I am about to freeze to death because of the short walk from his car to the sorority house.

Fortunately we make it there quickly and as I get inside I am thrown back to the first party I went to here at MSU last year. It was a toga party just like this and when I think about it I highly suspect it's even the same sorority.

That party is the cause of all this pain and sorrow I have felt the last couple of months and that's all because of one bad decision.

If I just could have had the balls to ask her out without having to pour all that booze into me then none of this would have never happened. But she looked so beautiful when I first saw her out on the lawn with her long dark hair flowing down her back and her piercing green eyes that were so filled with emotion and determination I kind of lost all my confidence.

All the booze I consumed that night gave me the courage I needed to find her and ask her to come with me but it also caused me to puke all over her and out of shame I was an asshole to her instead of owning up to my mess.

Of course she couldn't let it go, as she shouldn't have, but all I did was deny it and pray that she wouldn't recognize who I was if I ever ran into her again on campus.

If I could go back and change that night I would change a lot of it.

"Dax right?" A sultry voice says right behind me and I turn around in surprise. I can't see who the voice belongs to no matter how hard I squint but I can make out that it is a tall and slender woman.

"Yeah?" I answer with uncertainty. I have no interest in talking to anyone here and I definitely don't want to give someone the wrong idea.

"Macy, what are you doing here, where's Ella?" Mac comes behind me and asks the girl. Apparently her name is Macy and they seem to know each other. He sounds worried but he always seems to be that when it comes to Ella so I don't think much about his worried tone.

"It's fine Mac, Ella is.. getting more ice to the ice machine.. there was some trouble with it and it required someone with good IT knowledge to fix it" she explains and even though it is dark I can see that Mac's face is in a disbelieving crease.

"What? IT knowledge to get more ice?" he asks but Macy just shrugs her shoulders.

"Yeah I know, bad timing but I am stepping in and will take care of Dax" she says and I am completely lost.

"Macy.. what are you doing..?" It sounds like Mac is as confused as I am.

"Relax.. we had to change the plan a teeny tiny bit but we have it under control, trust me" when she says 'trust me' it gives a shrill down my spine and gives me the feeling she is the kind of person that has no idea of the meaning of trusting someone.
