Chapter 1
Clarissa
A week before school officially starts here at the University of Southern California and my parents are moving me into my apartment off campus. My new home is one block north of The Row. The Row is the main tree-lined street of the Greek System. Lining each side of the street are the renovated, grandiose old houses which the various Fraternities and Sororities call home. Our apartment is still considered part of campus housing, even though it’s pretty far off campus.
Each of my roommates arrives one by one. I’m the first to show up and start settling into one of the two bedrooms. Next to arrive is Deena, a blonde bombshell and beauty pageant winner from Vacaville. Deena and I hit it off immediately and she decides to room with me.
Next comes Lexi, a gorgeous gal of Argentinian descent. Then Kara shows up last. All of us were born and raised in California and so excited to be starting our first year at USC.
Deena and I did Sorority Rush this week and after a long grueling week, we both officially have joined a Sorority we’re both thrilled to be a part of. Lexi and Kara chose not to Rush; they’re what they call ‘GDI’s, which stands for God Damn Independents.
I’ve had the typical USC Sorority girl charmed life. I grew up in the rather exclusive city of Corona Del Mar, California. It’s a small beach community in Orange County, just South of Newport Beach, but before Laguna Beach. We have a fairly modest home a couple of miles from the water. I went to a private High School perched up in the hills in Newport Coast, the neighboring city filled with luxury mansions. That’s where I met my first love, the summer before my senior year. But that’s a whole different story; that chapter of life is closed and I am ready to start off college with a bang. Deena will make sure I do!
Deena grew up in Vacaville, in Northern California. Her father has a high up job at the men’s correctional facility up there; that sounds scary! She’s a very pretty natural blonde and has won numerous beauty pageants. She obviously enjoys the limelight and is going to try out for USC Song Girl. She would be perfect for it.
Kara grew up sheltered, in the Pacific Palisades, another exclusive Southern California neighborhood along the water near Santa Monica. She attended a private High School just like me. I don’t think she has much experience with boys, though. She’s a very sweet girl.
Then there’s Lexi, a beauty with long auburn hair, and a pretty smile. She grew up in San Clemente, which is another coastal city about thirty minutes south of Corona Del Mar.
It’s now Saturday night and we’re chilling together with a pizza and a few bottles of cheap white wine. I will say we’re a little toasted by this time. I really like my new roommates, they’re all fun and seem pretty easy going. I hope we all get along this year. I was nervous all summer wondering who my roommates would be, but these girls all seem pretty nice and normal.
“Hey what’s going to be the cleaning duties? We should have some kind of schedule,” Lexi says. Hope she’s not one of those neat freaks.
“I hate housework, I’m a bit of a mess,” I admit.
“I have an idea. Let’s make a bet, and the loser or losers have to clean the apartment for the next three months. That will solve our problem,” Deena chimes in with her proposition.
“What kind of bet?” Kara slurs out.
“A Close Encounters bet,” Deena says excitedly, with a twinkle in her eyes.
