“Old man? I can’t be more than a few years older than you. This is home made. Try it, you can practically taste the love.”

“Don’t assume that. There is, I shit you not, a 66 year old man in my art history class. And props to him, he’s putting in work that he doesn’t need to but that could also be you. I might be a 16 year old prodigy. I’m not because I’m dumb as shit, but I might have been and then you’d for sure be twice my hypothetical age. Love is fake, pass me a fork please.”

“Why would it be terror? It is just a cake,” Bea shrugged. “You can pick each one you want?”

“I’ve just never been fond of surprises.” Picking up the slice of the nearest cake, Mel took a cautious bite. “Oh. It’s actually really fucking good. Is this strawberry?”

“What movie? This is a tv show Mel, not a movie.”

Pulling out her phone for a quick google search, Mel was not that surprised to find that yet another culture reference had flown over her head. “Is this like.. One Tree Hill?” She grasped for what she had heard other people talk about in the past. “Um, the lead is cute. She looks a little sad, but the good kind of sad.”

“Do you know a place where I can have some flyers printed out?”

“It’s 2016. You know that you can just not print nowadays right? Just send a mass text or talk to them?”

“Am I the only person who is freaking out about the new Gilmore Girls trailer?”

“Is that the movie that’s coming out about math? That depresses me.”

“I found a couple different recipes online and I can’t decide which one’s the best. What do you think?”

“Let’s be real old man. Where’d you buy that from?”

“If I tell you what is what, where is the fun in it?”

“Fun for you, maybe - downright terror for me though. But alright, you look like you have capable hands. What’s up first?”

“We like keeping things classy. I can’t see anything wrong with that. Getting wasted in front of whole school is not our thing and I am kinda proud of that.”

“You’ll only get wasted if you don’t know your limits. But I’m sure you have a lot of things to be proud of so I won’t even tempt you. Since you’re so reknowned for being a class act and all, why are you even throwing food at others? That’s a pretty petty thing to do, especially since there are starving children all over the world.”

“That’s how Greek Row rolls. Let’s hope, if it’s not, I can always change my dress and crash to another house’s party.” She chuckled. “It’s going to be on Halloween night. I think all parties are going to be on Halloween night. Gammas will celebrate with Lambda, Zetas will celebrate with Omegas and Tri Pis will celebrate it with Kappas.”

“If it’s based on stereotypes I hope there’s also murder. Wait. I didn’t say that.” She raised her voice, in case any government surveillance recording equipment were in their midst. “I hope there’s no murder!! But right, maybe I’ll party hop and pick from what’s to offer. Though if your dress code is so particular maybe I’ll just take a few Instagram photos for the Zeta girls and make an easy grand or so.”

“I am not a princess material either, so I hear you. I respect them too, I just don’t relate to them. We are going to wear fancy dresses, that’s all I know for now. But maybe you Gammas won’t have a dress code like we do. Ask your social chair or vice president, they know better.”

“Oh right. Honestly, there’s just too many rules - too many things to keep in mind and be mindful of. I hope your fancy dress party goes well. Is it actually on Halloween night or just a Halloween party?”

“Ugh, tell me about it. Halloween should be scary. Same! You are talking to someone who hates Disney and princesses, so imagine how I feel about gowns. I mean I wear them if I have to, like important events or weddings but I don’t wanna wear them for Halloween.”

“If not scary than at least allow creativity. I just know I’m not princess material, but I can respect their hustle. Do you think there’s a rule against fake blood because if there’s a dress code, I’ll at least turn it into an undead dress code.”

“There’s a dress code unfortunately. I know right? Who would want to be a princess than a Ghostbuster? It’s ridiculous.”

“Leave it to school to suck the literal fun out of Halloween. Is nothing sacred? I’d rather be in a sheet - the Scrooge McDuck of ghosts - than a princess.”

“I was going to dress as Erin from Ghostbusters for Halloween, now I have to wear a fancy gown. Ugh.. Halloween should be scary not glamorous.”

“You have too? A Ghostbuster would be way better than a.. princess trying to find a suitor at a ball.”

“Okay, so I am trying new things that I saw online and I need your input, which of those cakes taste better for you?”

“Is it supposed to be like a blind taste test or can you tell me what’s what?”

“Um… Honestly, I had the basic palm reading and whole tarot card deal, but the bones and tea leaves kinda sound rad. Actually, since when do you know about fortune-telling? Tell me more, girl.”

“Did you get a bundle deal; someone who can do both? Eh, travel around long enough and you’ll hear enough stories to know a little bit about a lot of things. Plus you’ll meet a lot of interesting characters. Oh, um, the main reason is because the girl I’m going to marry one day is really into that sort of thing so I read up on it. It’s really cool.”

“It’s definitely a disgrace, if she can’t handle it, she shouldn’t drink it that much. No, I wasn’t. I’ve always known my limit. Especially in parties. Some people have terrible motives so I never drink too much in parties.”

“It’s these enriching years of college away from parents supervision that people can learn to build that tolerance, you know? I was lucky though, I had Bible Camp.” She said with a faint smile. “So you’ve always been this proper? I find that hard to believe but we’re all entitled to our masks. That’s dark.. but vigilant. Maybe these kiddos will benefit having someone like you lurking about.”

“I am not a sad drunk! It’s the opposite actually. People say I am a happy drunk.” She chuckled. “Well at least you are in a sparkly one. Did you like it so far?”

“That’s good, because I’d have to turn right around out of this conversation. Yeah, I guess it’s okay. There doesn’t seem to be a lot to do, just girls looking their ‘best’, guys try to throw around enough compliments to get a blow job, and I think that ginger over there ate all the mini pigs in a blanket so I might throw hands if I get bored enough.”
