SORORITY AU ;)
Toni is a new student in college. She soon meets the rambunctious Sweet Pea and his roommate Fangs.
Sweet Pea sets the two bisexuals on a dare that involves one glamorous ginger upperclassman.NOTES: Not really important but Toni has a deadbeat dad so she took her mom’s last name (Antoinette Topaz Sr. is her mom).
TW: Minor internalized lesbophobia (in the form of a slur) towards the very endChapter Text
“Don’t forget to call me, Antoinette! I’m telling you!”
The eighteen-year-old rolls her eyes. “I won’t forget, Uncle Marc. Thanks for helping me move in.”
Marcus Topaz slams the door shut, rolling down the window. “Anything for my darling niece. Gosh, your mother would be so proud of you, her baby is all grown up, at college!”
Toni sniffs. “Stop, Uncle Marc. Don’t make me cry on my first day here,” she says with a shaky laugh.
He gives her a small smile. “Okay, my love. I’m going to leave now or else I never will. Be safe.”
Toni knows she’ll miss him, and their house in the small town a hundred miles west of here, but she is still so excited to be at Trudeau University, named after Toni’s very own feminist hero Louisa Trudeau, starting her new life as a young adult. Incoming freshmen welcome week begins today, and Toni is beyond ready to check out all the opportunities in store.
She decides it’s probably best to leave her dorm building and head outside to socialize. Halfway down the path her stomach growls, reminding her she hasn’t eaten since before the long car ride, so she goes to the dining hall nearest her. On the way there, she sees a flash of red from across the street and stops dead in her tracks.
Redheads are her weakness, and this girl is no exception. She’s tall, with long, white legs and a face that dares no one to mess with her. Beautiful, Toni thinks, and confident.
Stuck in her daze, Toni is suddenly startled by two rough guys bumping into her. She grunts as they brush by her elbow. “Hey!” she calls after them.
They turn around. “Sorry, didn’t see you there,” the taller one says, the shorter one laughing to himself.
Toni rolls her eyes. “Very clever. Making fun of my height.”
The shorter one still looks amused. “Good one, Sweet Pea.”
“Sweet Pea?” Toni jeers towards the taller one. “Your name is ‘Sweet Pea?’” she says, enunciating.
The boy reaches out a hand. “Spencer Peabody. Nice to meet you…”
Toni shakes cautiously. “I’m Toni Topaz, and you--”
“Franklin Fogarty,” the shorter boy says. “But everyone calls me Fangs.”
“Unfortunate,” Toni says, shaking his hand as well. “So, you guys both freshmen? How’d you meet?”
Sweet Pea nods. “Yeah, we’re roommates. You?”
“It’s my first year, too. I live in Jettison Hall,” Toni explains. “I’m on my way to the dining hall, though.”
“Us too,” Fangs says happily. “So, you thinking of joining any clubs here?”
“Oh, I definitely want to,” Toni says. “I was on my high school’s hockey team and in the debate club.”
“Nice,” Sweet Pea says. “What about socially? It seems like everywhere I look around I see Greek life.”
As if on cue, a large group of jocky guys in jackets passes in front of the dining hall.
