Chapter 11
Tensions Rise
Kate hustled down the stairs and practically flew out of the door on Monday morning. Dawson, coffee in hand and still in her pajamas, just caught her as her hand was on the handle.
"Why are you in such a hurry this morning?"
"Ah, I forgot I needed a certain book for my Law class today. Gotta run to the book store quickly before class," Kate responded, "Later."
Kate hurried across campus to Free Ones Used Book Store and Coffee Shop to find the book she needed. Luckily there was one copy left. She grabbed it from the shelf and wandered over to the coffee counter to pick up a mochachino.
After she was handed her coffee, she was approached by a girl with shoulder-length, straight blonde hair, a long, angular face, and big brown eyes. She had a small frame with a medium bust and carried around on of those cute-girl-next-door looks.
"Kate, right? I'm Karen. I was wondering if I could talk to you about something," she introduced herself nervously.
"Yeah, I recognize you. You're one of Katie's girls, right? A Lambda," Kate said coldly.
"Yes, well, that's kind of what I want to talk to you about," Karen went on, "I don't want to be a Lambda anymore. I want to join Sigma Delta."
Eileen and her boyfriend Jeff were walking through campus to class that morning, when Jeff's best friend Kyle caught up to them. Kyle was also in the Alpha fraternity, but he and Jeff had known each other since before college.
"Hey Kyle," Eileen said.
"Hey guys," he said, "Man, I hate to bring this up, but you two were, well, really loud last night," he confessed.
"Sorry man, but that's how it goes. Don't rag on us cause you're jealous," Jeff joked.
"Whatever," Kyle blushed.
"Aww, does Kyle need a girlfriend?" Eileen said in a baby voice, "Don't worry. I can probably hook you up with one of my Sigma girls, if you want."
Kate sat with the Lambda girl Karen at a small, round coffee table in the bookstore. Kate looked Karen over as though she was inspecting her to pass some sort of test.
"So, explain this to me again," Kate demanded as she stirred more sugar into her coffee.
"I've always wanted to be a Sigma girl. And I don't like it over there. Katie's a bitch, Sandy's just as bad, and the new girls, yikes," Karen complained, "I need to get out of there. And I want so desperately to be a Sigma."
"Why?"
"You girls always look so tight, always having fun. I'm jealous whenever I see any of you. I've decided to finally do something about it."
"So you want to defect?" Kate said incredulously, "This isn't the bloody Cold War. Sororities just don't work like that."
"Why can't they? I don't see any reason why not," Karen pleaded.
Kate looked at the sad face of the girl who was supposed to be her enemy, feeling a tinge of pity. "I don't get why you hate it there so much, but I'm not sure I can do anything about it. I'll look into it though, see what I can do."
"Your latest test is being handed back to you now," Professor North informed Dawson's Psychology class, "Some of you did not do well at all. I suggest to those people that they work extra hard over the remainder of this class or they will not pass."
Dawson's test was handed back to her and she cried "Fuck!" under her breath as she looked down at the 42% written in red at the top of her test paper.
Nikki and Colin sat together on one of the benches in the student building on campus. The student building was the primary hub of traffic for students wandering to and from their classes and made for a great spot for person-watching.
"So is it weird between you and Raven?" Colin asked. It was only a few days since the threesome and the two of them hadn't really talked about it at all yet.
"Surprisingly, no," Nikki said, her reddish brown hair flattened today instead of her usual curly style, "It's pretty much the same as usual between us, which is a big relief."
"Yeah. Speaking of..." Colin sat up straighter as he nodded to the direction of Raven walking their way. He watched her hips sway to and fro with each step as she came closer, mesmerized. Ever since he had spent that night with her and Nikki, he couldn't stop thinking about her. Try as he might, Colin couldn't get Raven out of his head.
"Hey Colin. How's it going? You two got class?" Raven made conversation, though her attempt to not sound awkward in front of both of them wasn't working too well.
"Yeah, I do," Nikki said, "I can walk with you."
"I have to run back to the, um, the frat house," Colin stumbled.
As Raven and Nikki walked away, Colin stared back after them. But his focus was not on his girlfriend, but rather on the bronzed Raven. He stared lustily at her tight, round ass as the two of them melted into the crowd.
That evening, Kate met with the senior girls of the sorority in Brandi's bedroom and told them about what had happened at the coffee shop.
"She is a junior, and she wants to switch sororities?" Nikki was flabbergasted.
"Yeah, it's strange. I don't really know what her angle is," Kate said.
"I don't like it," Brandi announced, "It's like Katie is trying to plant a spy in our house or something."
"Yeah, that was my first thought," Kate said, "But I told her I would bring it up."
"Well...," Brandi thought about it a little more, "Perhaps we can also use her for those purposes. Don't say no to her just yet. Let's tow her along for now. If Katie is up to something, I'd like to find out what it is."
Eileen spent that night with Jeff that night at the Alpha frat house once again. The next morning she woke up but did not see Jeff in the bed beside her. He had obviously gotten up already, so she decided to go have a quick shower.
It was still quite early and very quiet for a frat house, but Eileen could hear the shower in the bathroom next door going and figured it must be Jeff. Eileen grabbed a towel from his dresser and took off her blue nightie. She covered up her creamy body and bouncing tits with the towel and snuck through the hallway and into the bathroom stealthily.
