Chapter 7
Moving In
The flight from London came into JFK early that morning. From there Faith caught the connecting flight to New Boston. When she got in, she saw her new boyfriend Bobby waiting for her at the arrivals section. The stocky-but-well-built, curly-haired Bobby rushed to greet her, wrapping his arms around the large-breasted blonde girl.
"Bobby! You came to meet me!" she exclaimed in her sultry English accent.
"Of course, I've been thinking about you through the whole holidays," he said as she kissed her long and hard, "So how was England?"
"It was nice. To be honest though, I actually missed the snow! We just got a bunch of rain out there. But it was good to be home again, even though I was dying to get back to you."
After just meeting at the party right before Christmas break, having to suddenly be in another country proved to be rather difficult for Faith. She had a good feeling about this guy. He excited her more than anyone else since she started University. Bobby was all she could think about while she was gone.
"Well, you are back now," Bobby said, "And we have the whole rest of the school year together."
Faith smiled at him, thinking that even that didn't seem long enough.

Dawson's train pulled up to the station in the early afternoon. As she walked off the train she saw Alison waiting for her on the platform.
"Have a good holidays?" the buoyant blonde asked.
"I did actually," Dawson answered as she walked down the platform with her roommate, "You seem... I don't know. You look really happy or something."
Alison simply shrugged, never once changing the smile on her face, "Just Christmas I guess."
Jameson University was buzzing once again with the students returning from break. It was very much like the first day of school all over again. Dawson and Alison went back to their old dorm room.
"Well, this is it. Time to pack up and leave residence for good," Alison said, as they were both moving into the Sigma house that day.
"Finally we get our own rooms. Space! Glorious space!" Dawson twirled around and giggled.
"Hey, so how did it go with Chris?" Alison inquired as they were both packing their things.
"Oh, well. I told him about the guy from the toga party. We're through now."
"I'm sorry babe," Alison rubbed her shoulder.
"No no," Dawson said, "It's fine really. I think I wanted to break up with him. Now I'm free. Free to, I dunno, live the college life. Which reminds me, do you want to go out tonight? Pick up some random guys and bring them back here? I've been wanting to do that for a whole semester pretty much."
Alison suddenly thought about Lana, but realized that she couldn't tell Dawson or their secret would be out. "Oh, well, um, I don't think so Daws. Sorry, I just, I dunno, not in the mood or something."
"Oh, okay," Dawson looked at her funny, "Well I'll ask Anne then."
"Yeah that would be good," Alison said as she tried to quickly get off the subject, feeling bad for hiding her new relationship from her best friend.

Back at the Sigma house the girls were all reuniting after the Christmas break, hugging each other and hauling their suitcases back in to their rooms. Everyone was quick to show off their new clothes which they had acquired from under their Christmas trees that year.
Not too much later that afternoon, the three first-year sorority sisters arrived bringing all of their stuff from the dorms. Today was the day they were finally able to move into the sorority house.
The Sigma Delta house was a large house: three stories high with lots of room on each floor. The first floor had the foyer with the stairway leading to the other floors, the living room to the left of it and a small den to the right. Behind the living room was the large kitchen, and in the far right corner was a bedroom which was not being used, and was turned into a study and guest room, usually where drunken partiers would crash.
The second floor had six bedrooms, three on one side, three on the other, and a bathroom at the end. On the side opposite the stairway there were three bedrooms: Lana's was on the far left end, Eileen's beside hers and an empty room on the right end. On the opposing side of the hallway had Faith's room across from Lana's, an empty room across from Eileen's, and another empty room to the right of the staircase, with the bathroom beside it at the end of the hall.
The third floor was very similar to the second, only that the head girl's room, Brandi's, took up enough space for two bedrooms. It was located on the right side of the hall opposite the stairs. Across from the stairway was Nikki's room with the bathroom on the right end of the hall. On the stairway's side of the hall was Raven's room to the left, an empty room to the right and Kate's room on the far right.
"Well girls, welcome!" Brandi said as Dawson, Alison and Anne walked in with their bags, "You are now officially residents of the Sigma Delta house! Come, I'll show you your rooms."
Brandi led them upstairs to the empty room across from the staircase beside Eileen's room. "Alison, this one here is yours. Dawson, you get the one over there beside Faith's room. Anne, upstairs."
As Dawson and Alison took their bags to their new rooms, Brandi led the shy Anne up to the third floor.
"You can have the empty room here beside Raven's."
"Okay, great," Anne answered meekly as she entered her new room and looked around. There was a desk and dresser already set up for her and a bed beside the window, but otherwise the walls were bare, ready to take her artwork.
"We're having wine to celebrate girls, so don't take too long!" she heard Brandi call out as she went back down the stairs.
Anne began unpacking her clothes when Dawson knocked on her door and walked in.
"A little bigger than the dorms, hey?" Dawson began with some small talk.
"Slightly," Anne smiled.
"Hey listen, do you want to come out with me tonight?" Dawson asked her pledge sister, "I was, well, kind of thinking about..."
Dawson tried to think of how to say what she wanted. She sat herself down on Anne's bed and said, "Alright, I just broke up with my boyfriend over the holidays, and to tell you the truth I just really want to get laid. Thinking maybe you want to come out with me, just the two of us, and pick up some guys to bring back. You know, to sort of break in our new rooms."
"I-uh-," Anne didn't really know what to say. She wasn't in the mood for random sex, and Dawson didn't know about her date rape incident a couple months back. But she did fuck that guy at the toga party, and it felt good. Maybe it would be good for her to do it again. Also, she always felt like she was the one girl in the sorority left out of things, and now Dawson was asking her to do this with her, she didn't want to turn down the bonding opportunity.
"Sure, yeah, that would be cool," she said.
"Great," Dawson smiled her big, white smile, "About nine then?"
"Sure."
Dawson and Anne then went downstairs into the kitchen to join the other girls in a glass of celebratory wine. All of the Sigma girls were there as Brandi poured the white wine into glasses and handed them out.
"Alright, here's a toast, to all ten Sigma's under the same roof!"
