bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 The fall semester is getting underway. The sorority Zeta Alpha Beta has taken in a new pledge: Rebecca, a freshman. The first freshman in the sorority's history. All the older sorority girls are excited to welcome her. She is on the way to move in to the sorority house. The older sorority sisters, including head sister Hannah are sitting on the couch waiting for their new pledge to join them. They have coordinated their schedules to be free so they could help the new sister move in. Hannah says: "I hope our new pledge gets here soon so we can help her with her stuff" Robyn, one of the other girls: "Maybe we should call her?" Hannah is the oldest and is in charge of the house.

Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Pretty soon the girls hear the sound of something on wheels moving just outside the building walls. Not a moment later did someone struggle to get through the door! It was Rebecca, the first freshman in the history of Zeta Alpha Beta. She was struggling to both open the door and pull all of her luggage inside. The new girl was short in stature with long black hair and bright green eyes, though those weren’t visible to anyone at the moment. She let out various grunts showing that she was struggling to drag the heavy luggage behind her. Perhaps she wasn’t all that strong? Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 All the girls get up to help to help her with her stuff Even Hannah says: "Hi. We can help you with your bags. We thought you got lost" Link to comment
Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 “Huh?” The small girl said looking up to see a group of other sorority girls swarming her. “Um…. Sure!” She said as the swarm began taking her stuff from her and moving it to her future room. Rebecca followed behind, quietly insisting that she could carry some of her stuff too! But her pleas fell of deaf ears, the girls were absolutely determined to help their new pledge move into her new home! Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Hannah and the girls lead her upstairs to the communal bedroom they all share in the loft. Hannah has a queen bed, and everyone else has bunk beds There is a corner lower bunk that's unmade, and Hannah says: "This is your bed, Newbie. I hope you brought some fun sheets to put on" Link to comment
Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Rebecca sighed. If it were up to her she would have gotten a top bunk. That way, she could have her own private space! But this wasn’t bad either. At least it was in the back corner of the room! “Thank you…!” Rebecca said meekly to the posse of women. She was so cute, the group wanted to just eat her up! Rebecca sat on the side of the bed to test the firmness. It was certainly a college bed but at least she packed stuff to put under her mattress just in case! As for sheets, they were disappointingly plain. They were just a plain white. How boring! Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Hannah walks away after seeing the plain white sheets. She doesn't say anything, but she wonders if the new girl will fit in. A girl greets her as she makes her bed: "I can help you. I'm Lauren. I'm in the bunk above you" Lauren is a sophomore, the newest pledge just before Rebecca joined. She's a sophomore, so she's still kind of new Link to comment
Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 “Oh!” Rebecca exclaimed. “Um… it’s nice to meet you…!” The small girl said, holding her hand out in hopes that Lauren would shake it. Poor thing was so nervous, it was obvious in her tone! But it was to be expected. This is a new experience for Rebecca! Most people in her shoes act that way. Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Lauren shakes her hand. Then she takes the other end of the sheet and tucks it in "Thanks" she says "I just joined a few months ago. The girls are like my big sisters. We have lots of fun. They helped me when I first got here. I thought I should help you. I was so excited when you joined. Maybe we could hang out sometime?" Link to comment
Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 “Really? Y-you mean it?!” Rebecca shouted, raising her voice more than she intended. She felt deeply embarrassed but it was so hard for her to hide her enthusiasm! But alas, that would have to wait. Rebecca had more setting up to do! But on the bright side, it gave her something to look forward to. Though she had to wonder, would the others like her? Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 "Of course. It sounds like fun. All the other girls have their clique, but it's okay. I'm in the library a lot. I'm pre med. You look fun. What types of things do you like to do?" Link to comment
Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 “M-me?” Rebecca exclaimed, flustered. She was expecting this kind of question so soon! She twirled her already curly hair as she replied to Lauren, “I like to play video games and w-watch movie. I-I guess those… are my hobbies…!” It was a weird pair of hobbies for a girl to have but all she could do was hope that Lauren wouldn’t judge her. After all, it would have been much weirder if she didn’t give Lauren an answer! And if Rebecca lied, chances are Lauren would have seen right through it! Rebecca is an absolutely terrible liar as they will all learn later. Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 "No way. I love to watch movies. We have a TV downstairs. I love games too. I brought my Nintendo Switch. But the other girls mainly like to play fashion games on it. They don't really get me. Do you have any brothers and sisters?" Lauren asks Link to comment
Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Rebecca shook her head. “I’m an only child, I’m afraid..” she replied meekly before adding another comment while she finished setting up her bed. Rebecca can always unpack the rest of her stuff later! “This is my first time living with so many people…! I’m scared, t-truth be told…” Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 "Oh wow. Well I guess we're your sisters now. I'm the youngest of three. Well there you go, all made up. That's your dresser over there" she points to the dresser beside the bed "You can unpack if you'd like" Link to comment
Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Rebecca’s face grew bright red in response to Lauren’s comment. They were all sisters? It was a nice thought, one that made her feel warm and happy on the inside. But that was assuming the others liked her like Lauren seems to. Though she could easily just be acting nice out of courtesy. As Rebecca’s anxiety grew she started unpacking her clothes and filling her dresser to take her mind off of things. Her clothes mostly consisted of various hoodies and sweatpants like the one she was currently wearing. She likes hiding herself it seems! Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Lauren checks in on her after a little while. "It looks like you're all unpacked. Would you like to go to the cafe with us for dinner? I usually go with Olivia" she points to another soror "But you can join us if you'd like" Link to comment
Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 When Lauren came back in, Rebecca was lying on her new bed having worn herself out with all of that exhausting setting her side of the room up. But she seemed to perk up a bit when Lauren made her offer. Rebecca nodded excitedly before getting up from her bed and pulling her hoodie over her head. She approached Lauren which resulted in the older girl to really realize how short Rebecca was. Rebecca was standing right next to her and yet she was only at shoulder lengths… just imagine how much shorter she is than the taller girls in the sorority! She was definitely under five feet. Four foot eleven at maximum. It was adorable in a way, especially paired with her seemingly timid nature. Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Lauren: "I'm glad you're coming with us. Maybe we'll see some guys from the frat" Olivia walks over and introduces herself: "Hi. I'm Olivia. You must be cool. Freshmen don't usually get to join us. And now you're one of us" She says in a sincere voice Link to comment
Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 “Really..?” Rebecca asked using an equally sincere tone. Was that all it took for her to be accepted? Surely not, right? There had to be a catch! Regardless her and Olivia finish up their introductions so they can have dinner soon. Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 "Why wouldn't you be? We helped vote for you to join. So what's your major? Are you local or did your parents have to drive you up?" Olivia is full of questions all of a sudden They start walking out of the house and toward the cafe Link to comment
Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Rebecca tensed up as she was bombarded with questions. It wasn’t personal, rather it was her innate social anxiety going into overdrive causing her to freeze! Metaphorically speaking, of course. She didn’t answer all of the questions but for now she managed to get out at least a single one, albeit with a lot of stuttering. “M-my dad d-drove me…! I’m… n-not front here…” she said, clearly anxious which again makes sense since it’s her very first time away from home. Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Olivia stops in her tracks. She can hear how nervous the new girl is. "Sorry about that. I was just making conversation. You must have been so scared being away from your parents. I heard you tell Lauren that you were an only child. I'm a big sister. I've been told I talk too much. Just tell me to stop. Just tell me what you want me to know" Link to comment
Anonimoose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 “N-no, it’s not you..!” Rebecca replied, not wanting the other sorority girl to feel bad about something that wasn’t her fault. She grabbed her right wrist with her hand to try and calm down. Usually she’d grab her special bean bag pillow but that wasn’t something she could really bring into a public space. Trying to change the subject, Rebecca inquired Olivia about her own life story. Hopefully that would give her enough time to calm down. Link to comment
bigbabymikey1062 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 "it's no problem. I'm a junior, Political Science major, I'm from this town, and I like to knit. I want to be a lawyer. What do you want to be, Rebecca?" Link to comment
