[Arabella]
I drove back home with Pandora at about one-thirty.
"Drunk?" I asked when I noticed that she was dozing off.
"Huh? No. Sleepy." she said.
"Wake up, I need my co-pilot." I said, slapping her cheek lightly. I had been driving for two years, but I liked having her or someone else around somewhat sober so I could be extra careful.
"Fine," she groaned, "Talk to me so I don't fall asleep."
"Did you make friends?"
"I met an asshole."
"I got my boobs touched." I laughed.
"No way, did you get some?"
"Still a virgin."
"Jesus, Bella. Just get some."
"I don't just get some, Panni." I laughed.
"What's his name?" She said.
"Luke."
"Is he cute?"
"Very. He's awkward and funny. He's really tall." I smiled.
"You like him!"
"We briefly talked." I laughed.
"He did touch your boobs."
"On accident. It's a funny story, actually." I laughed, parking my car and getting out. We walked to the sorority and went upstairs to our room. I plopped myself onto my blue bedding and took out my laptop. I signed into Netflix and put in one of my earbuds.
"Dance Academy?" Pandora laughed.
"Australian accents are cute." I smiled.
"Is he a frat boy?" Pandora asked, falling asleep.
"Yeah."
"What frat?" she said, half asleep.
"Beta Theta Pi." I said, but she was sound asleep. I laughed and continued watching the show.
After a while, Pandora woke up and said she had a bad dream.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No... Can I watch something with you?" she whispered, sitting down at the edge of my bed.
"Sure. It's a foreign film. Tomboy." I said.
"Wait. Where was it that you said that boy was from?"
"Beta Theta Pi." I answered, pausing the film.
"Beta Theta Pi?!" She repeated.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" she spat, "Those boys are assholes!"
I furrowed my brows, "Assholes?"
"Some asshole from Beta Theta Pi tried to pick up on me!"
"Doesn't mean everyone is from there." I said, "This guy was so awkwardly innocent."
"Oh no, that was probably an act to touch you! Arabella!"
"Jesus, where'd you even hear this from?"
"Fletcher!"
"Okay fine, we'll ask Fletcher where he heard and his opinion." I said, closing Netflix, "Go to sleep."
"Fine." she said, crawling into bed. I covered myself and made myself comfortable. I fell asleep within a few minutes as I had been exhausted from the eventful night.
In the morning, Pandora called Fletcher and we all decided to meet at a local burger joint. While Pandora and Fletcher acted cutely and flirted, I played Flappy Bird on my phone as I ate my french fries.
"So did you like last night's party?" Fletcher asked, acknowledging my third wheel party.
"Yeah. It was quite eventful after a while." I smiled.
"Meet anyone new?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows, "Did you finally get some?"
Pandora looked at him with wide eyes and punched him. I laughed and shook my head.
"No, but I did actually get my boobs touched by a frat boy." I said, still laughing.
"Which frat?"
"Beta Theta Pi."
"Beta Theta Pi?!" He repeated.
"Funny, Pandora had the same reaction. You two really are meant for each other."
"A Beta Boy?" he asked, "One of those assholes?"
"Hey, he wasn't an asshole." I said defensively, "He was awkward and cute and nice."
"Probably an act." he snorted. I shrugged and took a sip of my soda.
Pandora looked up at him, "Tell her why those boys are terrible."
"One tried to pick up on Panni." he started.
"Well just because one tries to pick up on her doesn't make them all assholes."
"You don't know what they're like."
Pandora intervened, "It's best if you stay away from him. We're definitely not going to their parties."
I took a deep breath in, "I can take care of myself, guys. I'm going to a Beta Theta Pi party and he's coming to a Kappa Delta party."
"He will not!" Pandora yelled.
"Yes he will." I said, "I'll keep him in our room all night and just talk to him if I want to."
"He won't wanna just talk." Fletcher laughed.
"Well, shit. He will if he ever wants to get in my pants."
"Good luck with that."
"Thanks, now I'm gonna go to the student store to buy a sweater." I said, getting up and walking out the door. I opened up my car door and started the ignition. Fletcher could take Pandora home in his car if I took too long.
I drove out to the area where the massive student store would be. I looked around the store and found a regular navy blue hoodie with UCLA in gold in my size. I also found some UCLA merchandise for my parents. After some time, I looked around for some stationary and took a pack of pencils. I walked over to the refrigerated area and looked around.
"Boxed water?" I snorted, "I have to get this."
As I was checking out my stuff I noticed a familiar blond quiff. I took a double take and decided not to worry if it was him or not. I walked outside and ran down the stairs, heading back to my car and off to the sorority.
