"This doesn't look like my dorm, man." Spencer mutters to his friend.
"That's 'cause it isn't." Todd answers, putting the car in park and swinging open his door. "Come on, get out."
Spencer follows Todd out of the lot and jogs up to catch him on the side of the road. "Where we headed, then? This looks like the Greek area. You know I'm not a frat party guy."
"That's good, we aren't headed to one of those." Spencer breathes a sigh of relief in response. "It's a sororislut party." Todd grins at his revelation.
"Dude, I don't know about that." Spencer's nerves are creeping up on him. He'd normally freak out in this situation, he's only been on campus a semester and spent most of that kooked up in his room. The drinks he managed to get ahold of at the bar they came from are stopping him from completely flipping out, but he's trying to bargain with Todd. "Look man, this isn't my scene. I can get a ride back..."
"Nonsense, dude, this is exactly your scene." Todd says slapping his friend's back. A sophomore, he met Spencer in a class this month and took an instant liking to him. "Listen, I heard about this Sorority that does a Nerd Night. Basically they rope in a bunch of awkward dweebs like yourself and put them in a room with a girl who's blindfolded and let them go at it. Even you can't mess that up."
That does sound easy to Spencer, almost too easy. "Wait, couldn't they just throw a normal party? What do the girls get out of this?"
"Who cares? I dunno. Probably the same thing we want. An easy lay without any bullshit. They put you with some dumb Sociology major you'll never see again and even if you do you're probably too much of a pussy to say anything to. They get their fun and don't have to deal with any baggage. Probably a bunch of girls who want a night off from their boyfriend with a low risk he'll ever hear about it, too."
"That sounds kind of messed up, man. Some girl you don't know who can't even see you? I don't know how comfortable..." Spencer's questioning comes to a hard stop when the two friends abruptly reach their destination. He came precariously close to bowling over the guy in front of him, who is waiting in a long line in front of a house. Spencer notices the greek outlines of letters on the top of the building but doesn't care enough to process them in the obscure night sky.
Todd, wrapping his arm around his friend's shoulder, "Have you gotten laid since coming to college?" Spencer shrinks in the hug uncomfortably. "That's what I thought. You better get comfortable, man. This is your shot. Alright, now..." He takes his hand off his friend and starts fiddling with his phone.
"Name and major?" Huh? "Name. And major." Spencer looks away from the light of his friend's phone and finds a face to the voice. It's a pretty face, middle eastern of some sort? A brown girl is all he can tell, with pitch black hair tied off to one side. "Oh, uh, I'm Spencer. Engineering, no specification yet. Nice to meet you." He holds out his hand, she declines to meet it, instead writing something down on a clipboard. "Freshman, huh? And you?"
"Todd, CS. Sophomore." He doesn't even look up, instead tapping away furiously. "Okay, best of luck to you two. As you can see we have a number of candidates and you arrived late." She spins around and leaves, Spencer's eyes following her jean-clad ass into the darkness.
"You hear that? Sounds like we could be standing out here all night in the cold and not even get in." Spencer still thinks he can talk his way out of this situation. As appealing as the offer sounds, he's still imagining this will lead to disaster.
"Just hold on. I got this." That's Todd's answer. Well, Spencer figures he can at least chill here for a bit before ducking out. This line doesn't seem to be moving at all, though. They shiver for a couple minutes outside, and right as he was about say something, Todd darts out and calls to the darkness, "Alright. Hey! Over here." Two girls appear, each fitting Todd's early descriptor "sororislut" well. To the left is a bright blonde with big tits and over-done make up sporting a sleeveless black top that shows off her cleavage and to the right is a brunette with long, straight hair wearing a see-through white T that comes down to her belly button. Spencer's trying to figure out the color of the bra he can see underneath her shirt as she speaks up, "Ah Todd, you actually showed up. 'Kay, Jackie take this one in. I'll pick out a couple others from the line."
"Wait Becky, you gotta get my friend in, too." Todd says pulling Spencer up. "That wasn't part of the deal." She glares back at him, a bit miffed. "Come on, do him a solid. He's a good guy." He says, puffing Spencer up. "Don't make me look like an ass driving him out her for nothing." Becky still doesn't seem too persuaded.
Jackie speaks up, "Becks, let me just take him in. He's kind of cute, actually." The brown-haired girl listens to her friend, then gives Spencer a once over before declaring, in a huff, "Fine." She flips her hair back and walks off, leaving the boys with Jackie. Jackie smiles and leads them towards the door. As they reach the steps, Spencer whispers to his friend, "What was that about?"
"Nothing. Don't worry about it" But Spencer isn't willing to accept that. He presses for an answer as the door swings open, "Alright, I have a couple classes with her. We came to an arrangement that I'll do some of her work and she'd set me up at this party, okay?" Spencer looks away disapprovingly as they sneak into the door. "What?" Todd accuses. "Nothing, I just didn't know people still got away with that in college. What's she going to do on the exams? Or when she gets a job?"
"It's not like that, man. She's smart, but doesn't want to waste her time with homework. I don't know why she was such a bitch back there, she's usually cool." Spencer laughs internally at Todd's justifications, figuring he made a good fit as part of the stock for this party's gimmick, too.
"Here we are, boys." Jackie announces. They've been led to a large, open room right inside the house. It looks like any other Greek party would, people dressed up in costumes, as fitting tonight's theme people are in a variety of geek get ups or in stuff like Doctor outfits, that or dressed down in various ways. Dancing and red cups. Not quite what Todd had described. Jackie pulls over another blonde, this time a tall one, who takes in both guys and asks, "These two randos?"
Jackie responds, "No, Becky's friends, I think." The girl, who Spencer judges is right about his height, peers back their way, giving each of them a look over, "Ah, hmmm." She ponders. "Right, they'll do. Take them to the basement. Where is Becky? Main attraction's about to start."
"Pledges, already? She's still outside, I can go grab her." Jackie continues with a conversation neither guy is following or really cares to. "No, I'll do it. You take those two downstairs." Consistent with the conversation, Jackie leads the boys around a corner to a door that leads to the basement. She escorts them down where they're greeted with a giant dark sheet that has stars on it.
