5: The Frat Party (Pt. 2)

It's finally time for the Andel Falls Frat Party, and students are all crowded together in the huge Frat House, as music blasts through the speakers. Everyone is dancing and chatting with their friends while others headed straight for the huge swimming pool in the back and swam to their heart's content.

Sophia and Nadia finally showed up, after being at least 30 minutes late to the party-or as Sophia calls it "being fashionably late". As they walk up to the house, Sophia is greeted by many of her friends, especially, the frat boys who seem to be tripping over their own feet just to get a glimpse of her. "Well, you are certainly popular tonight." Nadia comments with a smile.

"Trust me, I'm getting tired of the welcoming committee." Sophia says as she forces a smile and waves at the frat boys. "So, this is an everyday thing?" Nadia asked in shock. "Pretty much." Sophia replies as she shoots Nadia a grin. "What a life you live." Nadia says as she shakes her head and giggles.

They finally enter the party and it's a total culture shock for Nadia. She's never experienced anything like this. Students are everywhere and actually enjoying one another's company. "Come on, I wanna introduce you to some people." Sophia says as she takes Nadia's hand and leads her to a group of people sitting on the couch talking to one another.

"Hey guys!" Sophia greets them. "Sophie!" One of the girls runs up to her and hugs her. "Hey Mandy!" She says hugging her back. The girl steps back and her eyes land on Nadia. "I remember you!" She says. "You're Sophie's new roommate, right?" She continued. "Yep, that's me. I'm Nadia." She says as she outstretches her hand for Mandy to shake. "Oh no, anyone who's a friend of Sophie's, is a friend of mine!" She states. "We do hugs around here." Mandy says wrapping Nadia into a hug. "Um, thanks!" Nadia says with a giggle.

Sophia and Nadia turn to the rest of the group. "Of course, you've met Donna." She states pointing her out. "Sup." Donna greets Nadia with with a nod. "And this is Susan and Mike, the lovebirds of Andel Falls University." She says as she sits by them. They both roll their eyes at her. "Nice to meet you guys." Nadia says as she waves. "Same here." Susan responded with a smile.

Sophia stands up and puts an arm around Nadia. "Nadia here, is a freshman." She states. "Oh so you're a newbie?" Mike questioned with surprised in his voice. "Yep." Nadia replied with a nod. "Are you from Nevada?" Susan asked. "Well, I've lived here for about 6 or 7 years." Nadia answered as she sat on the coffee table in front of the group on the couch. "Oh, cool, where are you from?" Mandy asks as she sits up with an intrigued look in her eye. "I'm from Greece." Nadia said with a smile.

"No way!" Mike gasped. "Can you speak Greek?" Mandy asked. "Given that I was born there, I'd say I'm pretty good at it." Nadia jokingly stated with a smirk. "How did you learn how to speak English?" Susan said. "Well, my dad is American and taught my mom how to speak English, so I guess I learn from the both of them." Nadia shrugged. "Okay guys, let's not bombard her with questions." Sophia says as she pats Nadia's shoulder. "We've actually got some people to meet up with." Sophia says as she looks at Nadia with a smirk.

Nadia knows exactly what she's talking about as she looks over and sees Finn holding hands with Marie as they walk towards the kitchen. "Alright, let's go then." Nadia says nervously as she stands up. They say goodbye to the group and proceed to mingle with the other students. Suddenly, Sophia spots a familiar face, leaning against the wall in a corner. "Hey, Nadia. Look at that guy over there." Sophia subtly points to him.

Nadia follows her pointed finger and recognizes who it is. "Drake? What's he doing here?" Nadia responded with surprise. "I don't know, but he is definitely attractive." Sophia said as she began to stare. "You might wanna stop, before he sees you." Nadia said with a slight giggle. "What's he gonna do, sue me?" Sophia said as she turned to Nadia. Nadia looked at Sophia as she folded her arms. "Okay, fine." She said. "I'm gonna see what's up in kitchen." She continued. "See you in a minute." Nadia called after her.

Nadia walked over to Drake as he still leaned on the wall behind him, watching the students from afar. "Well, if it isn't the Troublemaker himself." Nadia said as she stood beside him. "Nadia, nice to see you again." Drake says with a smirk. "Well, this certainly doesn't look like you're kind of scene." Nadia uttered as she looked at all the students dancing. "Funny, I was going to say the exact same thing about you." Drake replied. "Well, maybe I'm not the type of girl that you think I am." Nadia says with a wink. "Oh, so, you're not the girl that was possibly dragged here by her hot friend in order for you to not study yourself to sleep?" Drake says with a chuckle.

"Okay, I guess that's sort of true." Nadia said as she avoided his eyes and crossed her arms. "I totally knew it." Drake said with a smirk. "So, on to more important topics..." Nadia stated. "What's up?" Drake asked turning his attention towards her. "So, you obviously think my friend is "hot"." Nadia laughed. "I mean, yeah, she's definitely one of the prettier ones that I've seen today." He said. "Not saying that you aren't pretty." He added. "Well, um, thanks?" Nadia said awkwardly. "So, do you wanna go introduce yourself?" Nadia asked with a smile.

"Yeah I'm down." He said pushing himself from off of the wall. "Lead the way." He uttered to Nadia.

They make their way to the kitchen and find Sophia and Finn in the middle of what looks like a great conversation. "You know Marie was never a good driver." Sophia stated as she laughed. "Oh, you're one to talk, Sophie." Finn comments playfully rolling his eyes. "What?!" Sophia said with surprise. "Remember that time that you crashed the Mustang?" Finn replied. "Oh my god, you said that you would never bring that up again." Sophia said with a giggle. "Well, consider that promise broken." Finn said as took a soda from the fridge.

"Hey guys." Nadia says she stands next to Sophia. "Nadia, you actually made it!" Finn says as he goes over to hug her. "I mean, what kind of person would I be if I left you alone all night?" She says as she hugs him back. Sophia winks at Nadia as she lets Finn go. Nadia rolls her eyes. "Hey, I'm Drake." He introduces himself to Sophia and they obviously can't take their eyes off each other. "Got a name, gorgeous?" He asks her. Nadia cringes slightly as she remembers that's the exact line that Drake said to her earlier today. "Sophia, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." She says with a flirtatious smirk.

There's an uncomfortable silence as Drake sees Finn. Drake is noticeably tense and quiet as he distances himself. "Hey Drake." Finn says nicely but Drake doesn't respond. Nadia and Sophia both lock eyes as they witness the tension unfold. "You know what?" Drake says as he stands up. "Sophia, how about we talk somewhere else?" He says as he looks at Finn with a balled up fist. Sophia looks Nadia with concern. "It's okay I'll be right behind you." Nadia whispers to her. Sophia smiles at Nadia with a hint of gratitude and agrees to go with Drake.

"You want to me to go with you?" Finn asks Nadia as she gets up to leave. "You sure about that? Drake might get angry if you come." She asked with worry in her voice. "I'm just providing you with company in case they treat you like the third wheel." He states with a smirk. "Fine, you can come with me." Nadia said as she gave in. "Awesome, let's go before we lose them!" He said happily.

"I hope this goes well, for Finn's sake."
