Legally Blonde - Bucky Barnes

II

"Y/N, it's Pepper. I'm having trouble with this whole contour thing." The strawberry blonde girl knocked on your door thrice wondering where you were. She had been looking for you all over the house and it wasn't like you to bail out on promises. You were the resident expert on applying makeup and since she had a date tonight, you'd promised to help her.

"Sweetie, didn't you hear?" Maria interrupted Pepper and lead her away from the door. "-Hear what?" she asked confused.

"He dumped her," she shook her head sadly. "Daisy? Will you help Pepper?" Daisy stuck her head out from a nearby room and quickly took Pepper's arm filling her in on the situation. The entire house fell into a gloomy mood as they learnt what happened to you. "-And they were my OTP..."

"She hasn't left her room in a week," Maria whispered to Wanda as they met up at your door. "I know. She has, like, 10 boxes of pizza in there."

"We have to do something." They nodded in unison before carefully opening the door. The sight that met them was even worse than they had imagined. You were bundled up under your covers shoving pieces of chocolate into your mouth as you watched the tv mindlessly.

"Sweetie, you have to leave this room." Maria decided tough love was the way to go even with Wanda sending her daggers. You spared them no attention as you continued to look at the TV.

"Drink this." Wanda held the Slurpee she had convinced her boyfriend Vis to get.

Wanda sighed as you only rolled your eyes at them, thrusting your chin upward in defiance. "It'll make you feel better."

"I doubt it." You still took the drink from her and slurped some down loudly. You could feel them look at you in pity. You had never before let yourself go this badly, but you couldn't bring yourself to care. Even if the sight of your chipped fingernails made you sob even louder. Tony was all you cared about and he wasn't even yours to care about anymore.

"That's Tony's brother!" you dropped the drink into your lap that thankfully had a lid as you watched Tony's brother and fiancee flash by on the tv screen.

"What?"

You ignored the question pointing at the screen, "This is the girl Tony's wants to marry! This is what I need to become to be serious!" The answer was right there in front you. How had not you realised this before?

"What? Brunette?"

"No. A law student." It was quite simple actually. All you needed was to get into law school and then Tony would see that you were serious and take you back.

One meeting later with your advisor you were all set for Harvard. All you needed to succeed was excellent recommendations from your professors, a hell of an admissions essay and at least a 170 on your LSATs. Should be easy enough.

"What are you doing?" Maria questioned as she and Wanda took a seat on the floor next to you after entering your room. They were happy to see you up and out of bed and were certain that you would bounce back from this heartbreak and show Tony what he was missing.

"Reading about the LSATs."

"My cousin had that," Wanda said, "Apparently, you get a really bad rash on your..." she pointed down her body with a grimace.

"It's not that-" you interrupted, "The LSATs are an exam." they both stared blankly at you. "Girls... I'm going to Harvard!"

"You mean like on vay-kay? Let's all go!" Wanda cheered. "Road trip!"

"No. I'm going to Harvard Law School," you said.

The smiles fell from their faces. "Why? We know you're upset about all of this but school?"

You sighed. "Once Tony sees me as a serious law student - he'll totally want me back! It's a brilliant plan!" you hoped they agreed with you. The girls were all you had left now.

"-But isn't it hard to get into law school?" Maria asked.

"I have the highest GPA in Delta Nu."

She took a second to mull it over before passing you the silver bracelet dangling on her wrist. "Here, you're gonna need this."

"Your bracelet?"

"My lucky bracelet," she responded, "It helped me pass Spanish."

"Only because you gave Professor Fernández a lap dance after the final," Wanda butted in.

"Yeah... luckily," she rolled her eyes.

"We got your back," Maria said. "Always! Let's get you to Harvard!" Wanda agreed.

"Group hug!" You didn't want to imagine were you would if it weren't for these two. You couldn't have asked for better friends.

"-But you do need a shower and a trip to the salon first."

With help from all of the girls from your sorority, you shot a killer admissions essay. "This will surely get me in!" It contained everything that was you - the sorority, the pool and your glitter bikini's, your dog Sammy and, of course, the pink outfits that defined you.

The only thing needed now was to study and study and study some more.

"You need to focus." Daisy banged her pen on the desk in annoyance. She had kindly offered to help you study but the party outside kept you from focusing. You tore your eyes away from the windows where you could see frat boys running around. It looked like such fun, maybe you could convince Daisy to take a brea-

She banged her pen once more. "Okay," you sighed and put your focus on working again. You needed to get at least 170 on your LSATs or else your dreams of getting Tony back would be crushed, a silly party wasn't worth losing the man of your dreams. You could always party after getting him back.

"142." Not good enough. "167" Still not good enough but you were getting close now. It was a good thing that Daisy had been helping you because the day for the test came sooner than expected, and now you were anxiously awaiting the letter in the mail.

"It's here!" Pepper came running through the entire house waving an envelope around. "What?" Several girls came running downstairs to see what the commotion was.

"The LSAT scores! It's here!"

This was what you had been waiting for, your future laid in Pepper's hands.

"Open the scores!" they all yelled at you as Pepper passed you the envelope. You bit your lips at you slowly opened it and peeked at the score.

"What's the score?" You looked around at them. These were the girls who had been by your side even if they didn't understand your wish to get into this school. There truly was nothing greater than the friendships formed in a sorority. "Come on, Y/N! Tell us!"

"179!" you screamed holding the paper up. You did it!

"179!" they all repeated, cheering loudly. They all gathered around you, a few girls lifting you up. "She did it, guys!" Wanda screamed joyfully.

"This calls for a celebration!" Maria cheered popping a bottle of champagne that you had no idea where she had gotten. Not that you cared, anyway. You did it! You were going to Harvard. You were going to get Tony back!

"Let's party!"
