Chapter 30

*Trey's POV*

"Gather everyone and meet at the spot in one hour."

"But Big Brother-"

Voice: One hour *click*

I hang up my phone and head to my dorm. I send a group message to my line brothers to tell them to get ready. For the record, yes I am pledging a fraternity. I know I said the greek life wasn't for me, but it has been a dream of mine since high school lowkey. The only reason I said it wasn't for me is because we're not allowed to talk about it or tell anybody we're pledging. I get dressed in my white v neck and blue jeans when I hear a knock at my door. I open it and my 5 line brothers James, Kenny, Deion, Trenton, and Xavier walk in the room.

"Damn, what could Zeke want now?" Kenny asks

"Shit, I have no clue. I couldn't really tell the tone in his voice whether it was good or bad."

"I'm still feeling the effects from the shit we dealt with two nights ago." Deion say

"Me too. James we should've whooped yo ass for not showing up last time."

"Man I was just getting in from class and-"

"You think that nigga give a damn about what we're doin? We are basically on call 24/7. When they call, we drop everything and show up regardless." Kenny says

"I'm just waiting for this shit to be over with. Let's go so we can at least make it on time."

I put my hoodie on, grab my backpack and we all head out. For the past few weeks I've been getting to know these 5 guys I call my line brothers. James is about 5'9, dark skinned low fade, slim build, and has a few tats on his left arm, and on his neck. Deion is the tallest out of all of us. He's 6'1, light skinned, slim build as well, curly black hair thanks to his multiple races, and hazel eyes. I used to think him and Chris were related because they have the same eye color. He's the jokester of the group. Next is Trenton. Trenton is the one of the quiet one out of everyone in the group. He's dark skinned, about 5'8, twisted dreads, black eyes, and has the fattest ass I've ever seen on a guy. Xavier is 5'11, caramel colored skin and looks real similar to J-Boog from B2K. Last but not least is Kenny. Kenny and I have become close the past few weeks. We were tied to a rope together for an entire weekend because Big Brother Zeke wanted us to get to know each other inside and out. Kenny is 5'10 caramel skin, brown eyes, sports a wavy low fade, swag like a pretty boy. Eventually we arrive at the area where we're supposed to meet Big Brother Zeke at."

"Yo James, throw that hoodie on dawg."

James reaches behind his back and searches his backpack for his black hoodie.

"Oh shit."

"Whats wrong?"

"Uhhh, I think I left my hoodie in my dorm."

I stand in my spot and look at James like he drank a glass of stupid this morning. Everyone sucks their teeth and make random remarks at James.

"Nigga you think you did what?"

"Man I left my shit back at the dorm."

"I'ma kill him..."

I walk toward James but Deion and Xavier hold me back. Big Brother Zeke is gonna grill our asses when he sees this.

"Trey chill out man. How the hell you forget the hoodie bruh?" Kenny asks

"I was rushing."

At this point we're all talking shit to James. I'm pissed off because he was the reason we got our asses kicked, and he's about to be the reason again. I hear an engine approaching and is none other than Big Brother Zeke pulling up.

"James I swear I'm gonna beat the shit out of you when this is over."

The doors to the car open and Big Brother Zeke walks out.

"Good evening pledges "

"Greetings Big Brother Zeke." We all say in unison

Zeke looks at each of us as we execute the proper movements on how to greet him. Big Brother Zeke was light skinned, muscular built brother, standing at 6'2, with a short wavy fade, both ears pierced, a sleeve of tats on his left arm, and a top row of golds. He really gives the image of a thug but he's far from that.

"Did you all remember everything from-pledge number 3, why aren't you wearing your hoodie?"

Since we're currently pledges, Zeke doesn't call us by our names. He gave us each a number. Deion is pledge number 6, Xavier  is pledge number 5, Kenny is pledge number 4, James is pledge number 3, Trenton is pledge number 2, and I'm pledge number 1. James stands there looking at the ground while trying to find a good excuse.

"Well I was kinda in a rush and I- "

Zeke throws his hands in the air, signaling James to shut up.

"Save it. You and your line brothers are already on thin ice due to your absence at the last meeting, and for this little mishap, all of you must pay!

Oh lord, he's about to take that damn paddle out his car and beat the hell out of us again.

"Front lean and rest!!!"

The majority of us such our teeth and get down in a push up position.

"Now let's see if I'll be in a rush to come get you all. Remain here until I get back."

I drop my head in disbelief. Ain't no telling when the hell this dude is coming back. We watch Zeke get in his car, and drive off.

"Look y'all I'm-"

"I think it's best you shut up right now."

"For real bruh. You really need to tighten up." Kenny says

I stare at my watch and 10 minutes go by. I swear this is gonna be a long night.

"How long y'all think Zeke is gonna keep us here?" Deion asks

"Shit probably all night." Trenton says

"Man I can't wait for this shit to be over."

We continue staying in the push up position and wait for Big Brother Zeke to return.
