arya kher. 21. KTE. get on with life, because life gets on without you

A’ight, let’s get this party started. ‘’All roads lead to Lambda’’ is the way to go.

[aryajoking]

A wise man once said, “Take the road less traveled.” In other words, Kappa or bust. 

[charlotte-marechal-blog]

They are snobs, I’ll give it to you. On the other hand I can’t blame them. They started from scratch and now they run their own business. Now my grandparents were very lovely.  Anyways, you can’t really say that they don’t have a point, cheap is usually low quality. 

[aryajoking]

Did any of this so-called “snobbiness” rub off on you? And not necessarily. A lot of cheap shit is good quality -- haven’t you ever gone thrifting before?

“ oh i’ve definitely been here a lot. everyone’ll tell you that the library’s the best place to study during midterms and finals, but it’s a complete lie. it’s packed and everyone’s on the brink of a nervous breakdown. this place, on the other hand, is relatively empty and you can get refills on whatever you order while you’re making flashcards or cramming. — don’t tell anyone i told you about this though, i don’t need this becoming the new library, ” aurelia explained, while absent-mindedly toying with the corner of one of the two menus. she chuckled at the mention of kappa’s stoner population, with a twinge of affection. she’d gotten to know most of them over large slices of chicken bacon ranch pizza slices which they all hoovered up in the early hours of the morning after a party. “ honestly, kappa gets a bad rep, but you guys are some of the most decent people on campus. i mean, i don’t know about you, but i can’t really stand most of the deltas’ egos. their talk about money, power and glory gets old pretty fast. and then some of the lambda’s can’t go a second without flexing their muscles or talking about protein shakes. granted, not everyone in both of those houses fit the descriptions i’ve given, but a sufficent amount do. ” she ended her sentence with a shrug, before taking a large sip of her milkshake.

[aryajoking]

“Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.” Arya laughed and drank from his milkshake. A wave of relief washed over him as his body was filled with the sweet, cold liquid. “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think this beats the neapolitan.” His eyes lit up as he saw the waitress rush over with the rest of their food. Fry in hand, he listened intently to Aurelia, nodding in agreement. “Nah, you’re right. I like to think us Kappas are pretty well-rounded.... well, as well-rounded as a frat can be. A lot of the deltas I’ve encountered are stuck up pricks, thriving off of daddy’s money, while the lambdas are tools. I swear all they talk about is the gym.” Arya paused to take a bite of his sandwich. “Of course, there’s some chill people in both frats, but then I can’t help thinking what caused them to join that frat in the first place. I mean, why would someone possibly choose another frat over Kappa?” He smirked. “Anyway, as far as sororities go, I think the Tri Phis are my least favorite.” Arya teased.

I’m sorry, I didn’t know you felt so strongly towards the feelings of Italy. You’re a disgrace…jay-kay. But I’m still a bit offended by that, pizza is delicious in any way, shape or form. They can’t all be wood-burning oven beauties. Cha-ching, knew it. I have that kind of charm on people. Dude, I’m into eating pizza at anytime and anywhere. Give me a time and location, and I’ll be down. I mean, as long as it’s not a dark creepy alley, cause that’s not the most appetizing of places, y’know?

[aryajoking]

The whole idea of pizza is that it’s supposed to be a wood-burning oven beauty, not a gloopy half-cold half-burning hot mess. Clearly, I’m the one with the charm here. There’s a good Italian place that’s like a block from my dorm. Although I might refer you to a grocery store, since you don’t appreciate fine cuisine and would rather eat a frozen atrocity. I don’t know about that -- I’ve had my fair share of fun experiences in dark creepy alleys.

walking into the diner almost felt like walking into a relative’s kitchen to aurelia, who spent most of her nights during midterms and finals hidden away in one of its booths, taking full advantage of the privacy, the wifi and their delicious rocky road milkshake. sliding into one side of the booth, she looked up while clutching the paper menu and smiled at their waitress, who’d instantly recognised her. “ i’d ask for the usual, but i’m bringing someone new today, so i’ve got to up to ante. so we’ll both have — uh, let’s see. a plate of chili cheese fries, mozzarella sticks with a side of marinara sauce, club sandwiches and rocky road milkshakes. he wanted napolitan, but i’m making up the rules tonight. — thanks amanda! ” putting the menu down, she flashed amanda a large smile, before looking back to arya, “ hope that works for you. it usually does the trick for me. plus, they’ll box up anything you don’t finish. including the milkshake. ”

[aryajoking]

Arya said thank you to the waitress and as she left, he turned to Aurelia. He cocked up an eyebrow and smirked. “Why do I have a feeling this is a place you frequent a lot?” Arya set down his menu to his right and sat back, relaxing himself. He had taken an Adderall a few hours prior to help him finish his paper and was now ‘coming down’ from his high. “I think I’ve been here once.” Arya rubbed his temples, straining to remember. “It was like 2 AM and me and a few of the Kappa guys were starving and totally stoned. I don’t think we made too good of an impression on the staff here.” He chuckled to himself and rolled up the sleeves on his sweater. The waitress returned, milkshakes in tow, and reassured Arya and Aurelia that she would “be right back” with their food. 

[aureliatucker-deactivated201611]

walking up to him and standing right next to him, aurelia looked up, “ yeah, i’m pretty sure. the height difference is pretty considerable. ” after proving her point, she started walking again towards the diner.

[aryajoking]

Arya picked out a booth near a window and sat down, beckoning for Aurelia to join him. The diner was dimly lit and only about 7 other people were there, but it seemed charming and quaint. The sweet smell of maple syrup wafting from the kitchen made Arya’s stomach growl and he motioned for the waitress to come take their order. The waitress arrived, notepad and pen in hand, and patiently waited for them to tell them her orders. Arya looked to Aurelia. “It’s your time to shine.” He said with a grin.

They put sugar in everything and add fat to the meat so that it’s cheaper. I would not personally recommend it, but then my parents were pretty much anti-fast food restaurants. 

According to them, cheap is shit.

[aryajoking]

Cheap is shit, huh? That’s an interesting mantra to live by. Your parents seem like lovely people.

[aureliatucker-deactivated201611]

“ hot food and hot girls are definitely at the top of my list too. and, by the way, you don’t need to walk in front of me at any given occasion. everyone around here already knows you’ve got longer legs, ” aurelia quipped, poking her finger into his arm.

[aryajoking]

“You sure about that?” Arya cocked up an eyebrow and stroked his chin, pretending to survey Aurelia’s bottom half. “I think yours come pretty damn close.” 

[kennedy-coleman]

Dude, it’s still pizza. Even if it’s been sitting out in the sun or dropped on the ground…well okay, that might be a bit extreme, but it’s still good, no matter where it came from. Oven or box, I’m a supporter of all pizzas. Oh? [kinks an eyebrow] And is that your sly way of trying to ask me out for dinner?

[aryajoking]

Saying that is like slapping the entire country of Italy in the face. Frozen pizza is a disgrace and should only be consumed when one is in an extremely desperate situation, such as it being the only edible thing on earth. You caught me. We can do lunch, if you prefer, or breakfast, if you’re into eating pizza before 11 AM.

[charlotte-marechal-blog]

Well if you can afford it, why the hell not although you’re going to have to wait a little at the restaurant, unless if by restaurant you mean McDonalds, I guess. To answer your question, I do like going through the trouble of cooking because I usually like to know what it is I’m eating.

[aryajoking]

I don’t know about you, but I consider McDonald’s to be a fine dining experience. And that’s what the ingredients list is for, of course!

[aureliatucker-deactivated201611]

“ i mean, i was on my way out, so now? unless you’ve got some really intense kappa business to tend to, ” she joked, before spinning around and walking backwards; it made it easier to get moving while still maintaining the conversation.

[aryajoking]

“Don’t you know me? Food and hot girls are always my top priorities.” He walked ahead of Aurelia and to the door, holding it open as he waited for her to catch up. 

[kennedy-coleman]

Sick of frozen pizza? [shakes her head, clucking her tongue in disappointment] I expected more from you, Ar. I don’t think I’ve been this let down since I learned that Yorkshire Pudding isn’t actually pudding. Seriously, how does one get tired of any pizza, ever? Pizza is like family.

[aryajoking]

Kennedy, I don’t think you realize that frozen pizza does not even remotely come close to the real thing. I really need to take you out and show you what you’re missing. 

[charlotte-marechal-blog]

You know, buying a pack of noodles and a tube of tomato sauce would cost less and last longer than one little ramen thing. 

[aryajoking]

Yeah, but then I’d have to bring out the pots and actually use my stove and I really don’t have time for that. Wouldn’t you rather just pay for an overpriced meal at a restaurant than go through all that trouble?

[aureliatucker-deactivated201611]

“ yeah, tri phi’s definitely helped train me when it comes to being functional with a hangover. i used to spend the day whining about it, and now i just grab a bottle of vitamin water and i go get myself a large plate of waffles with a side of fries. water’s pretty helpful too. — and look, boast all you want, without me, you’d still be crying about your ramen diet. ”

[aryajoking]

Damn, you’re making me hungry. When are we making that diner run?

[aureliatucker-deactivated201611]

“ ok, first of all, who the hell puts the milk in before the cereal? everyone knows you need to know how much cereal you’re eating to dose the milk. and second of all, i’m offended you’d think i’m one of those who can’t make cereal properly. the tri phi house is a jungle, and i need to eat to survive the hangovers and make it through the day. — i’ll compromise on the milkshake, but just because your option seems better. ”

[aryajoking]

Don’t ask me! You’re one of them, remember? Kappas are even worse -- thankfully, I’ve been able to train myself to be able to function normally even if I’m massively hungover. Get used to my options always being better, babe.

[aureliatucker-deactivated201611]

“ i’m ready to bet my lucky charms beat your’s any day. and, by the way, your plan’s kind of flawed. i mean, what if you both don’t like the same thing? or what if one of you has a food allergy? huh? — but, on another note, you down for a matching order of cheese fries, club sandwiches and chocolate milkshake? ”

[aryajoking]

Nah, you seem like a milk before cereal kind of girl. Life is all about compromise, so you make it work! And yes, ma’am. Let’s get neapolitan milkshakes instead though. Plain chocolate kind of tastes like dirt.

[aureliatucker-deactivated201611]

“ alright, so since you’re obviously not a culinary genius, i definitely suggest you hop on the diner train with me. just so you know though, my ultimate diner rule is that no one gets to stick their fingers in the other’s plate, no matter how much better the other’s food looks. ”

[aryajoking]

Hey, I happen to make a mean bowl of cereal. And that’s why you get the same thing as whoever you’re with, so if your food ends up sucking you’re both screwed.
