Wanda Catron was in tears. She had been crying for almost a week now, ever since her roommate, Astrid Martin, had walked out while Wanda talked to her Mistress, Anne Franklin. Minutes before talking to Anne, Wanda had been licking Astrid's pussy. When Wanda left that warm wet spot to talk to Anne, Astrid had dressed and left the room. Since that time, almost a week past, Astrid and Wanda had rarely spoken. Astrid, when she came back to the Boise State dorm room the girls shared, rarely spoke, and only in a business-like manner.
That same attitude was being displayed as the girls went through the initiation tests to get into the Delta Beta Nu sorority. Tonight was the final cutdown night, and yet Wanda was in her dorm room, crying into her pillow.
The day after Astrid's stormy exit from the room, the roommates met at the DBN sorority house. Like every session thus far, the sisters wore DBN shirts, jeans and a stocking over their heads, hiding their features. Wanda and Astrid stood at either end of the line of initiates they were affiliated with, called the DBN Wanna-Bes. There were eight members of the Wanna-Bes, same as on Friday night. The other group, called the TEWTS, were down by two, to seven members. Only 10 girls would be allowed into the sorority, and today was the third cut-down.
The leader of the group with stockings over their head read from a parchment. "Today's task was a car wash. As you remember, each group was given two hours to raise as much money as they could. The TEWTS raised $252.13. The Wanna-Bes raised $177.80. TEWTS, you may go. Wanna-Bes, follow me to the conference room."
The Wanna-Bes had done their best, but unlike the previous day, when they had used sex to draw customers and their money, today they had relied only on their bikini-clad bodies. It had not been enough, and one member was going to be dismissed from the team.
Each member of the Wanna-Bes sat at the conference table. In addition to Wanda and Astrid, the members were Kim, Melody, Laticia, Janelle, Victoria and Angela. In walked three sisters. Each one had added a powdered wig over her stocking, making her look like an 18th-Century judge.
The one sitting in the middle started speaking. "Who led this car wash?"
"I did," Laticia said.
"Why did you lose, Initiate Jones?"
"We did our best, Ma'am," Laticia Jones continued. "But I think we hoped to win this contest on skill, and not resort to selling ourselves."
The judge on the left spoke. Her voice was of a higher pitch than the first speaker, and she had a southern accent. "But y'all didn't win. So what does that tell y'all, Initiate Jones?"
Laticia hung her head. "Sex sells," she replied.
Astrid spoke up then. "I think the only reason we even resorted to sex in the first place was because of Wanda's suggestions. Otherwise we would have played straight."
Southern girl spoke again. "But, Initiate Mahtin, y'all won the fust two cawntests. So does that make Initiate Cay-trawn's ah-deas mo' valuable, or less, because she came up with the ah-dea?"
"More valuable, I guess," Astrid said.
Wanda sat, stunned. Was Astrid so mad at her that she would speak poorly about her? Here, where either one of them could be dismissed from the initiation?
The girl on the right spoke now. "I think that, if anything, Initiate Catron has nothing to fear this time. It was through her leadership, her intuition, and her negotiating, that you pulled together and won the first contest, and also outearned the others in the bake-off."
The girl in the center spoke. "I agree. Initiate Catron, you will not lose your place this time. So, with that immunity, who do you think deserves to be released from the initiation process?"
Wanda thought a minute, then said "None of them."
"Why do you say that, Initiate Catron?"
"They have worked hard ... no, we ALL have worked hard, becoming a team and growing as sisters. I value all of my teammates, and I don't want to lose any of them."
"Not even Initiate Martin, who spoke ill against you?"
"Especially not Astrid," Wanda said, looking down the table. "She is my roommate, and she is my friend, and I value her more than any of the others here."
The discussion faded back to the last task, and Wanda, certain now she would not be eliminated, looked down at Astrid. The tall girl looked straight ahead, not even sneaking a glance at Wanda.
Eventually the judges asked Laticia, Veronica and Kim to stay behind. The others went back to their dorm rooms. As they walked back together, Wanda hoped her kind words would open Astrid up, but she remained silent. When they got to the room, Astrid picked up her book bag, announced "I'm going to the library" and left. Wanda cried a little, then fell asleep on her bed.
She was awakened by hands shaking her. She opened her eyes to see the DBN girls shaking her awake.
"Initiate Catron, come to the sorority immediately. You have five minutes to get there, or you will have missed the call to attend and will be dropped from the initiation."
Wanda woke quickly. Astrid had not woken her up when she the call from DBN had first come. Grabbing her keys, she raced out of the dorm ahead of the sisters. She jumped in her Mustang and sped across campus, arriving with only seconds to spare. The others were already gathered, and the DBN leader said "Nice of you to join us, Initiate Catron."
