Friday rolled around and to say I was excited was an understatement. Tonight was the last night of Hell Week, and I couldn't wait to finally be finished with the torture that I had been enduring. Only a few girls from my pledge class were left, and I was sure that the number would dwindle from the challenge tonight. Even though Hell Week would technically be over, I wasn't safe until I was initiated. I could still be dropped if Caroline and Ashley decide that I hadn't lost the weight I was supposed to lose.
We had received a text stating that for tonight we should be primped and ready to party, so Allison had come over to get ready with me. Tonight we were going to a party held by Gamma Lambda Phi again, mandated by Caroline. As we got ready, I told Allison all about my time with JJ, and how I found myself wanting to see him again. Fortunately for me, I would be seeing him tonight.
I pulled on my favorite pair of jeans and a simple black top, and began curling my hair while I waited for Allison to come over to pregame. JJ and I hadn't talked about our last hang out and what had transpired, and I was nervous to see him after our little couch makeout.
There was a knock at the door just as I was mixing up a drink. "It's open!"I yelled from the kitchen.
"Hey, you got a package. I got one too, says its from Caroline," Allison announced as she entered the apartment. I walked into the front room to find Allison standing with two packages in her hands.
""Do not open until 9:30 pm.'", she read off of the top of one of the packages. She handed me the one with my name on it as she held her own. Well, it was just about 9:30. I mean, not on the dot, but whatever.
We both tore into our packages to find a note on top of another wrapped bundle.
"'Dear Cassidy, congratulations on surviving Hell Week! As a reward, we're throwing you a little mixer! A Gamma Lambda Phi is on his way to pick you up! If you are with another pledge, please let your assigned brother know! Also, please be ready to party and please wear the outfit included!" I read from the shimmery paper included in the package. Allison and I looked at each other nervously, and tore the paper off of the wrapped bundles. Inside of both of our packages was a tiny black tank top that looked like it would belong to a toddler. On the front of each was a bright red "P". I assumed it was "P" for "Pledge".
Allison and I looked at each other exasperated, and we both turned around to put on our new going out shirts. My phone dinged, and I looked at it to find a text from Caroline.
Your driver is: Carson
You gotta be kidding me. Not this kid again.
Below the name of my driver was his phone number. I looked over to find Allison typing furiously, with a smirk on her face.
"Who are you texting?", I asked curiously.
"JJ," she answered nonchalantly, not looking up from her phone.
"WHAT?!" I screeched, diving for her phone.
"Let me see! How did you get his number?" I gasped as I grabbed it out of her hand, eyes scanning the screen. I answered my own question as I read the texts, slowly realizing that JJ had ended up Allison's driver.
"Can I have my phone back now? I was working magic here," she groaned. I handed the phone back sheepishly, and as soon as the phone passed from my hand it lit up with an incoming call from an unsaved number.
The number I was just texting.
My eyes went wide. "Answer it! ANSWER IT!" I screamed, bouncing up and down frantically.
Allison slid her phone across the screen, answering the call and placing it on speaker.
"Hey, JJ."
"Hey, so, uh, you have an address change?", came the handsome voice on the other end of the line.
An address change? Caroline had told us just to cancel our rides if we weren't home. I looked at Allison quizzically.
"Yeah, I'm actually at Cassidy's", Allison continued, and gave him my address.
My eyes widened. JJ was driving us? JJ was going to the party with me? JJ was coming to my house????
I heard JJ agree, and Allison hung up the phone. She turned and smirked at me, and I felt my face grow hot.
"You're blushing!" she giggled, and I covered my face and sighed. What were the chances that JJ would be Allison's driver? It would have been even weirder if he had ended up my driver instead of Carson.
Speaking of Carson, a text from the little devil flashed across my screen.
Bruh. im literally 2 min away. U suck.
