Felicity Smoak laughed as she and her friends, Sara Lance and Caitlin Snow, made their way into the small cafe on their college campus for lunch. It was only their second week there and they were still getting to know the place. They were being shown around by Hayley Williams and Becca Mitchel who were seniors in their dorm wing.

"There are a group of people to keep an eye on." Hayley says as they take their seats.

"A group of people?" Sara asked. "Who?"

Becca nods toward a table that had a group surrounding it. "They're a gang, violent as hell if you get on their bad side."

Sara's eyes were instantly drawn to a beautiful brunette who was already watching her. "Who's that?"

Hayley follows her eyes and chuckles. "Nyssa Raatko. You might wanna stay away from her. She's best friends with the leader of the gang."

Felicity could feel someone's eyes on her and it sent a shiver down her spine. She swallowed and pushed her glasses up her nose. She hadn't felt this uncomfortable since her science teacher in high school tried to groom her. He was fired and sent to prison for that.

"You okay?" Caitlin asked.

"I'm fine." Felicity said.

A few minutes later, a blue eyed man walked up to the table. "What can I get you ladies today?"

Becca handed out the menus. "We just need a few minutes to decide, thanks Oliver."

Oliver nodded and walked away.

"He's the leader of the gang. Avoid him." Hayley said. "I learned that the hard way."

"You were lucky Chloe found you." Becca said, referring to her girlfriend.

"What happened?" Caitlin asked curiously.

"He spiked my drink. I blacked out. The next thing I knew I was in the hospital." Hayley said with a shrug.

"Oh my god!" Caitlin gasped.

Felicity's eyes widen and she moves closer to Sara.

Out of all three girls, Sara was the one who learned self defense because of her father.

"Don't worry, Flick, I'll protect you." Sara teased the youngest girl.

Felicity blushed and looked down at her hands.

Becca smiles when she sees a familiar redhead bounding into the cafe. "Chloe, over here." she calls out to her girlfriend.

"Hi." Chloe slid into the booth beside Hayley and Caitlin. "What's up?"

"Just showing the newbies around." Becca responds with a shrug.

"Oh yeah, these are the girls you're 'mentoring'. I remember you saying that the other night." Have you warned them about 'you know who'?" Chloe said. "Also, you should get them signed up for some clubs. The Bellas have a few spots open." She said with a smirk.

Felicity could still feel the eyes watching her and she shivered again. She bit her lower lip and pushed her glasses up her nose. She felt like she was back in high school with the science teacher again.

Becca chuckles and shakes her head. "We warned them and we'll see."

Chloe smiled brightly. "So, what are we eating? I'm starving." She said dramatically. Naturally, Chloe was at college on a drama scholarship.

Becca laughed. "You're always hungry." She teased.

Oliver returned to the table. "Ready to order yet ladies?" He asked.
