Winchester Legacy Gen. 2 College~2.1

Weeks passed and I was slowly coming out of my shell. Just for kicks I decided that I should try and join a fraternity because, ya know, I’m a girl and it seemed only right. No, actually I did it to see if they would let me and to my surprise they did. Actually the three guys were actually pretty cool about it. Surprisingly, we had a lot to talk about. Mickey and I enjoyed talking logistics. Plus I enjoyed looking at him in his toga. He had a nice pair of legs. And before you start on me I am not turning into Neil. I’m just enjoying the view. I haven’t actually dipped my hand in the cookie jar now have I? Of course I haven’t! The photographer would have it plastered all over the place if I had slept with someone. I know he would. He’s always trying to hook me up with some guy.

Matthew cracked me up. He was so funny…and funny looking. Look at his hair. That just cracks me up. At the same time I’m insanely jealous! Look how silky smooth that crap is. And it bounces. Seriously! Every time he moves his hair just moves with him. That is so wrong on so many levels.

I was surprised when Matthew told me that he and the other guys thought it would be great if I joined their fraternity.

“We’re trying to branch out, not be as sexists as some of the other frats. Besides, if we let girls into the frat maybe the sororities will let guys in. Naked girls having pillow fights are a frat boys wet dream.”

Choking on laughter I shook my head. “Well, why don’t you try to move into a sorority house?”

He rolled his eyes. “Come on! I’m not the best looking guy and girls think that I’m some sort of freak because of my hair. What’s wrong with a guy having long hair? I mean Fabio has long hair so why can’t I?”

“You’re not that bad looking!” I said as I fanned at my face before I burst out laughing. Matthew snorted.

“Dude, whatever. But I’m fine with the way I look. I’m comfortable with it and if someone else isn’t then they’re going to have to deal. Hey, are you going to move into the House with us?” He eyed me. “And do you walk around in your underwear? Cause you’re hot.”

“Be still my heart! You’re such a smooth talker Matt!”

“Smooth talker. That’s me alright. So are you going to?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know. I kind of like living in the dorms.”

“Well, if you change your mind you know where to find us.”

“Sure do. And hey, thanks for allowing me to join.”

“No problem!”

Waiting until Matthew’s footsteps had faded I finally dropped my happy facade and scowled. Through all of the recent changes going on in my life Neil hadn’t been a part of it any of it. I mean, I could understand if he was immersed in schoolwork or whatever but he wasn’t. He was immersed in getting laid.

I think one of the reasons I hadn’t slept with anyone left is because I was worried that they would think that I was as easy as Neil. I didn’t want to have to deal with that. Besides I hadn’t really met a guy that I wanted to have sex with yet. But to have my own brother pretty much just disappear out of my life sucked. And since I wasn’t one to beat around the bush I had decided to have a talk with him tonight…as soon as I chilled out in the hot tub.

“Neil,” I said as he sat down across from me as I dug into my pancakes. It was later than I realized. Or earlier depending on how you looked at it. Anyways…

“Neil, I barely see you anymore. What’s going on with you?”

He gave me a slick looking grin that made me want to vomit. “I’ve been busy Gai.”

“With school or with your latest conquest?”

He shrugged and I sighed.

“Ya know Neil, I thought we enrolled in college to try and help Val. You remember her don’t you? Our dead sister?”

“Of course I remember her!” he snapped as he looked away. His face was flushed. I couldn’t tell if it was from guilt or embarrassment.

“Look, I get good grades and I enjoy having fun. Maybe you should try to have some fun Gai!”

“I am having fun. As a matter of fact I just got into a frat and a few weeks back I was inducted into the Secret Society. But, you wouldn’t know that would you since you’re always so busy sticking your di-”

“Hey Neil,” a breathy voice interrupted us.

“Hey Monica!” Neil said as he hopped up and gave her a quick kiss. “What’s up babe? You look tense!”

“Hmm…” she moaned as Neil massaged her shoulders.

Shoving away my plate, I felt as if I was going to throw up just looking at them, I started to get up.

“Where are you going Gai? We weren’t done talking.”

“Oh, I think we’re done talking,” I said pointedly. “We’ve been done talking for a long time now Neil. It just took me awhile to realize it.”

“Gai? Gai!”

Ignoring him I walked upstairs and quietly shut my dorm door behind me. Placing a trembling hand over my stomach I walked over to my mini-fridge and pulled out a potion bottle that I had made awhile ago. It was one of the first potions that I had created.

I stared down at it. Did I really want to drink it? Was I ready to go back to be normal Gai instead of witch Gai? I mean, I really didn’t know that many spells but it was so cool to just be able to hop on my broom and go. But I really wasn’t happy. Being an evil witch just wasn’t for me. It might have been for Val but…I wasn’t Val. Sighing, I uncapped the bottle and brought it the my  mouth.

The potion fizzed and popped and as I swallowed I could feel a tingle working its way through my body. Oh god, I thought in a moment of hysteria. What if I had done something wrong with the potion and I turned myself into a toad or something?

Tossing the bottle down I held out my arm and stared at the familiar brown skin. Running a palm up and down my arm I straightened and my heart slowed. I turned when I heard the camera click.

“What are you doing?”

The photographer clicked one more pic before he brought the camera down and grinned back at me. “Taking pictures like I’m supposed to. Can I ask you something?” he asked as he fiddled with the strap on his camera.

I shrugged as I started to clean up my dorm room. “Sure. I mean you’ve seen me in some embarrassing moments.”

He laughed. “I suppose I have. I just wanted to know why you’re mad at Neil. Are you jealous?”

“Of what? Him hopping from bed to bed? No, I don’t think so.”

“Then whey are you upset?”

“Because I’m disappointed in him. I thought we were going into this together. But instead we’ve grown apart. I never saw it coming.” I shrugged. “And maybe I’m a little disappointed in myself for not seeing it.”

“So what are you going to do now?”

A sad smile crossed my face before I shrugged. “Leave.”

“I’m going to leave before I can’t stand to look my own brother in the face.”
