Graduating Mason____
Chapter 5- It'll Be Alright

 

The rest of the night was a complete disaster. The girls found an empty room upstairs to sleep in. They had to sleep on their bags, and layer up, but it was fine. Alex slept with them as well. The other guys remained downstairs, crashing on the couch. Their advisor had never showed up, which really surprised them. They didn't understand what was going on. And so far, things weren't looking up.

In the morning, Cole was woken by the sound of knocking at the door and the smell of freshly cooked bacon. He barely got up from the couch before he saw Lucy walking swiftly to the door with a spatula in her hand. Shaking his head, Cole decided not to stand up. 

Opening the door, Lucy smiled. "Hello?" she greeted, tilting her head to the side.

"Oh hello. I'm your class.."

"ADVISOR. Come in. Please. Now," she insisted, moving to the side. She hurried the middle-aged woman in. She looked a little younger than 40, definitely mid 30s though. She wasn't bad looking either; mildly attractive.

As the woman entered, Lucy went back to the kitchen. Cole had already gotten up from the couch and was trying to wake Tyler up. Unsuccessfully doing so, he walked toward the foyer, stopping dead in his tracks at the sight of the older woman standing before him. Suggestive thoughts ran through his mind. What he would give to be able to take a woman like that out. Even under her business looking outfit, he could tell she must've been a wildcat in bed.

Lucy returned, no spatula at hand now, and met in a triangle with Cole and the Advisor. Folding her arms, she gave him a redundant look, one from last night. Her first instinct was to slap him, but she excused herself to get the others before they had their meeting. Cole led the woman into the living room. The whole lot of 'kids' crowded into the open living space and sat where they could, the older woman making herself visible and heard.

"Okay, my name is Ms. Green..."

"Ms? Oh that interesting," Cole stated, his hand rubbing his chin. "Do you have a first name?"

"Lizzy," she stated, her face a tad confused. "Anyways... we have a problem I believe?" she asked, making sure her purpose for being there was valid.

"You have gorgeous eyes," Cole complimented. Lucy scoffed.

"Oh, why thank you," Lizzy flushed. She brushed hair behind her ear and smiled.

"OKAY. WE'RE HERE FOR A REASON. Us girls, and Alex, were roomed with jackasses," Lucy spoke up. Cole gave her a dirty look, and the advisor got herself together.  She nodded and continued.

"Well, the reason we had to do this was because the capacity of our other dorm houses has been filled. So, unless you are looking to rush for a fraternity or a sorority, you are stuck here. And even if you rush, there are no guarantees. This is your house. And this is your new family. And you know what they say about family: you can't pick em'," she told them.

The room fell silent for the millionth time. Kim stood up, and clapped her hands together once. "Well this'll be fun!" she exclaimed. The room looked at her. Kenzie went to say something, but closed her mouth and shook her head. "I'm very sorry," Ms. Green replied. She stood and made her way to the door. Cole began to go after her, but he stopped and turned around. The reality of what just happened hit him.

Kim smiled again. "Awh guys, it'll be alright."
