There’s no way I should have said yes to this dare

That’s the only thought in my head as I walk across campus

In front of e on the corner of Elht I nearly choke on it This is the last place I want to be—at the entrance to the most notorious fraternity on campus

Well, technically not a frat anyry write-ups froendary wilder-than-a-teen-college-movie parties, they were forced to officially disband All the sae by the rumors, they still throw just as over-the-top parties as they did before But technically they’re no longer a fraternity Just a collection of college students who live together and happen to be male

Just being in Melody’s vicinityWorthy of scrutiny What would it be like to actually be a Tri Delta like her?

“TayTay already put in a good word for you,” Melody continued “That is, if you’re interested in pledging”

My stoh the floor at the sound of that Of course I wanted to pledge, but… “Can we?” I asked, hating the way my voice rose at the end, nearly to a squeak

“Of course” Melody leaned down to steal a French fry from my plate Earlier I practically slapped Bailey’s hand away to stop her doing the same, but when it was Melody…
