Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 01

Chattering from all sides could be heard as the late August sun beat down on the campus of Miggs-Tristan University. Families saying good-byes, students hauling gear and possessions into their dorms and all sorts of chatter amongst students meeting for the first time.

On a rural campus like this one, the noise could be deafening. The nearest town was a mile and a half away, a little suburb known as Freiburg, Minnesota, a few miles south of Belle Plaine. Lush greens, a few ponds and old stone and brick buildings dominated the campus.

It was not a large school, not in terms of students. Just about 4500 undergraduates and 1000 grad students. Most students lived on campus, due to the lack of close by accommodations.

The dorms for freshmen sat along the northern edge of campus. Near the west sat dorms for sophomores. Junior and Senior students lived off on the southern edge in the exclusive Miggs Commons. Some, regardless of year, lived in the mansions and large houses along the east edge, on Greek Row. It was still four days before classes resumed. Most on campus now were freshmen, moving in to begin their college career.

One such freshmen was 27 year old Susan Myers. Susan was very nervous. She'd never lived away from home before. She had just finished carting all her stuff into her dorm. Her roommate had not arrived yet. She did not mind, it gave her time to be alone with her thoughts, time to quell the anxieties that racked her mind. She was still unsure if she could handle the college environment. She'd be much older than other freshman, and many other students as well.

She'd always been a loner sort growing up, her mother her only real confidant. She was still unsure if she should have come all this way. Worse, after the troublesome home life she had lived, she wondered if she could really open up to anyone here.

She was seriously considering abandoning the whole college idea. The only thing that kept her from doing so was the fact that she knew giving in would break her mother's heart. Her mother really hoped Susan was finally ready to go out on her own.

She was startled back to the present by a loud knock, then a turn of a key from her dorm door. This had to be her roommate. She stood off the bed and waited by the door. She had no idea who it would be, or what this girl would look like. As the door swung open, she was shocked to see a pretty girl enter. The sight of this girl made Susan blush.

The girl smiled as she saw Susan, quickly pulling her bags into the room, then turning to face her new roommate. "Hi, I guess we're going to be roomies this year." She said happily with a wide smile. "I'm Maisy. Wow, you certainly are a tall one." She said, shaking Susan's hand, bending back to look Susan in the eye. At 5'1, Maisy was quite short and Susan was a whole foot taller.

Susan was still very quiet. "You're the quiet type, aren't you?" She asked Susan, who nodded in response.

"I don't talk much, I have a lot of trouble opening up to others."

Maisy chuckled. "A pretty girl like you, having trouble talking to other people? I don't believe it, boys must be chasing you all over. Unless they're too intimidated by your height."

Susan leaned her head down as Maisy said this. She wasn't sure if she should tell her new roomie so early that she was attracted to girls. She didn't want to make things awkward on day one. There was enough about her already that could potentially ruin things. Things that would be a lot harder to hide. She had enough trouble making friends as it was. She didn't want to ruin what might be her only shot.

Maisy just laughed. "I get it, you're a rugmuncher aren't you?" she quipped. Susan's head shot up, surprised at Maisy's brashness. Was she that obvious? "Look, I don't care who you go to bed with. I've had a few of the fairer sex in my time, and hell, sometimes they're just better." Susan still stayed quiet.

She could already tell Maisy was nothing like her. Maisy was vivacious, social and quite the talker. She doubted already she could be friends with Maisy. "How the hell did this happen? The person they put me with is the complete opposite of me." Susan didn't think this would work with her and Maisy.

"Hey, are you hungry?" Maisy piped up. "I think our meal plans just went active. Come with me to the cafeteria, I'm starved." Maisy was about to take Susan's hand and lead her out, but stopped herself. "Oh, stupid me, I never got your name. If I'm going to be sleeping in the same room as you I should know it." She giggled.

"It's Susan." She replied.

"Well, Susan, come with me and let's grab a bite. And don't be so shy. This isn't high school. People here are a lot nicer."

Susan almost cried as Maisy said this. She did not want to think of high school. Yes, it was ten years ago for her, but it had been the worst four years of her life.

Maisy led Susan quickly down the halls and to the bottom floor, then pulled her to Milton, the building that housed the student cafeteria. Susan could hardly get a word in edgewise, barely able to keep up with Maisy's motor mouth. She heard little snippets here and there. The time Maisy went nude at a party in her junior year, her love of partying and her latest art project.

Susan could barely keep up, especially because her eyes kept glancing at Maisy's yummy butt, jiggling and sashaying before her as they walked. Susan was scared at this point, feeling that familiar stirring down below.

She clamped her legs closed, hoping Maisy would not notice. By the time they got to Milton, Susan's arousal had lessened, but she still kept her legs clamped, and she tried her best not to blush as her and Maisy entered the mess hall.

They separated briefly and filled their trays with various foods. Susan tried her best to find the healthier options, like whole grain breads and produce and leaner meats. Maisy on the other hand just piled her tray with whatever she wanted to eat.

"I bet she uses a lot of energy just being so peppy." Susan thought as she looked at the foods on Maisy's tray when they reconvened. They soon sat down and began to eat. Susan shook her head as she looked over all the fatty, greasy or even just oversized food sitting on Maisy's tray.

"How can you eat that junk?" Susan asked as Maisy stuffed her face with a second slice of sausage and pepperoni pizza.

"Hey, I'm young, I eat what I like." Maisy quipped before digging into her second fried chicken leg.

"Well, I'm not as young as you. I worked very hard to get this body, harder than most people. I'm not letting it go so easy." Maisy did not respond. She just stuck out her tongue at Susan, then wolfed down her plate of fries. Susan shook her head again.

Susan ignored her and began cutting into her fish filet when the table suddenly was shadowed by another person standing over them. Susan looked up and saw a cute, but overweight girl standing nervously by them. She was quiet for about a minute, trying to say something, before finally speaking.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" She asked. "There are no free tables and you guys seemed nice." She said, barely audible.

Susan felt her heart go out to this girl. Being shy herself, she knew how hard it was to ask something like that. "Sure." Susan smiled. "You can sit by me." The girl gave a small smile, then sat next to Susan. Maisy had not said anything yet, absorbed in her meal.

Maisy first noticed this girl after she sat down. She found the girl kind of cute. "Well hi cutie. What's your name?" Maisy said flirtatiously. The girl blushed, and hid her face.

"My name is Janine." She said quietly. Susan shook her head and patted Janine's back softly.

"Sorry, my roommate can be very boisterous sometimes. I just met her today and already she's gotten on my nerves." Susan quipped.

"Hey!!" Maisy exclaimed. Susan chuckled. "Case in point." She said pointing her thumb to Maisy. Janine did not say anything. She did giggle though when Maisy flipped Susan off with both hands after her quip. Through the rest of their meal, Janine stayed quiet for the most part. The pair got to know her some, and found she roomed in the same building as they did.

After finishing their meals, the three parted ways again. Maisy headed for the bookstore, Susan deciding to take a self-guided tour of the campus, and Janine heading to the registrar to work on minor changes to her schedule. Susan was grateful for this time alone. She finally could spend some quiet time to adjust to her new surroundings. She was still unsure if she could room successfully with Maisy.

Maisy was the complete opposite of her. Plus, she was terrified of Maisy finding out about her past. There were many skeletons she did not want found, and with how inquisitive and loquacious Maisy was, there was a good chance she might. Susan was scared.

There were some secrets she did not want revealed while here. Maisy seemed to be the open-minded sort, accepting of all sorts of people, but Susan knew from her high school days that even those people had limits. She wondered where Maisy's would be.

With everything she and Maisy had to do, they did not return to their room until later that night, around 10 pm. Maisy was laying on her bed when Susan got back, her headphones on and her computer open on her stomach. Susan was very tired and grabbed her towel to grab a quick shower before bed. She was grateful the showers were empty. She quickly stripped down, still watching if anyone entered.

Scared someone would enter at any second, she quickly ducked into a stall and washed as quick as she could. Problem with being so tall was that it still took time for her to get clean. She looked around again before shutting off the water and grabbing her towel.

Just as she finished drying, she heard the sounds of two people walking in. Scared they would see her like this, she dressed quickly, not caring she wasn't fully dry, and rushed out before they came in. Her heart was still hammering in her chest when she got back to her room.

When she returned, Maisy was also getting ready for bed. "Jeez, Suz, you're freaking panting. What happen someone try to feel you up in the showers?" Susan looked with annoyance at Maisy, then her face changed to shock as she finally saw how Maisy was preparing for bed. To Susan's delight, and horror, she was stripping down.

Susan felt that stirring in her loins again, and quickly dove beneath the covers before Maisy turned to look at her, then turned back to face her bed. Susan could not stop looking at Maisy as she got undressed. She gasped when Maisy removed her underwear, now completely naked. She did not put anything on afterwards, just getting in bed.

"You sleep naked?" Susan asked.

Maisy grinned. "I love being naked. I'd do it in more places if it wasn't illegal. I hope this doesn't bother you."

Susan said nothing. Maisy took that for an agreement and got under her own covers. Susan's loins still throbbed, the image of Maisy's naked ass still fresh in her mind. It still was at the front of her thoughts when Maisy shut off her bedside lamp.

The lights now out, both curled up into bed. "This is going to be Hell." Susan worried in thought. "Not only do they give me a roommate who is nothing like me, but someone who's hot and sleeps naked." She was very worried now. It was going to be hard to hide her attraction to Maisy.

This was the pattern the next few days until classes started. Susan spent a good amount of time with Maisy and Janine as they got ready for classes to begin. Susan got along very well with Janine. Both of them being the shy type, both knew how to tactfully approach the other. Maisy seemed to not know the proper way to engage with introverts.

Janine was shyer than Susan and Maisy seemed to hover around her all the time. Susan was sure Maisy was attracted to Janine. She was not jealous. Maisy fawning over Janine would stop her from seeing Susan's attraction to her. While Susan definitely found Maisy hot, she could not see getting into a relationship with Maisy. Maisy was too unlike her.

By their third day on campus, most of the older students began to arrive. Soon tables and banners all over for various clubs and teams and societies began to pop up. Susan had no intention of joining any of them. She just wanted to go to class and get these four years over with. That changed the day before classes started.

Inside the student center, the many Greek organizations on campus had begun their rush drive. Susan was walking with Maisy and Janine. All three paid them no mind, until Janine and Susan stopped suddenly when Maisy broke off and was seen standing at the table for a sorority. It was named Alpha Alpha Mu, and to Susan's delight, there was a whole cadre of pretty girls at this table.

Maisy was chatting up a pretty short girl with a very large chest. Susan felt so flustered as she walked up to her roommate, wondering why she had come to this table. She was almost to Maisy when a voice called out to her.

"Hello, interested in joining our Sisterhood?" was all it said, and when Susan turned to face it, she was struck dumb. Standing before her, the source of the voice, was the most beautiful girl Susan had ever seen.

She was so small compare to Susan, but her figure was just to die for. Large but well sized breasts, a slim torso and flaring hips. She had lovely eyes, very vibrant and full of life. Her hair looked very soft and silky. Her smile was probably the best part. It was positively brilliant. She also had very kissable lips. To Susan's delight, she saw a black equal sign tattooed on this girl's right forearm. Susan blushed hard as she viewed this girl, her heart fluttering as she stood stock still.

"Hi, I'm Angelique, the Oracle, or president, of this chapter." She said.

Susan barely registered, taking Angelique's hand as she offered it. Susan trembled as her hand grasped this lovely girl.

"She's absolutely gorgeous. Plus, she just might be into girls." Susan thought. She was so nervous, barely able to hear what Angelique was telling her. She felt her loins throb as she took in Angelique, and fear filled her worrying Angelique would notice. She never seemed to, and by the time she finished talking to Susan, which Susan couldn't remember what she said, Susan was trembling and flushed.

"I think I'm in love. Her name is perfect, she looks just like an angel would." She thought. Susan was still flustered when she joined Maisy again. Maisy had stopped talking to the really busty girl and was now talking to Janine. To Susan's surprise, Janine had a wide smile on her face.

"So you're definitely in? You're going to try to pledge?" Maisy asked Janine.

Janine nodded happily. "I am. She, well Annabelle is her name, said they need more girls like me. Not A girl like me, but more of them. I feel so welcome already. I've never felt like that." Susan was happy to see Janine so excited.

"Well, I came to college looking for adventure, and I hear some salacious rumors about what happens in sororities. This one is the only one that doesn't seem stuffy or pretentious. I definitely want in. How about you, Susan?"

Susan jumped as Maisy put her on the spot. "I don't think so. It's just not my kind of thing." Maisy was sad to hear this. She wanted her roomie to join with her.

"C'mon Suz, join with me. I don't want to go at this alone. You're the person I know best here. I promise, I won't quit unless you do." Susan looked down. Yes, they said on their pamphlet they accepted all girls, regardless of their background, but Susan wondered if they'd really accept her. Was it true or just what they said to attract members?

"Besides, I saw you eying up Angelique. You should definitely join, you could maybe get with her. She's totally got the gay vibe going." Susan blushed again as Maisy said this.

It was true. She already had a crush on Angelique. Maybe if she joined she'd get a chance to get to know her, maybe even ask her out. Maybe, and this was a long shot, date her. It was a risk, but a feeling deep down told her to take it.

"You know what? I will." Susan said confidently, surprising even herself. Maisy smiled and hugged Susan.

"Glad you're on board." Maisy smiled. "I have a feeling this could be the best thing that ever happened to you."

Susan did not know why, but she had that feeling as well. Maybe finally, she'd have the social life she always wanted. All three beaming, they signed their names to the sheet to show their interest.

Angelique smiled at all of them as they did. Susan was so sure Angelique flashed a bigger smile to her than to Janine or Maisy. She blushed at this. It gave her a spark of hope, that maybe her attraction to Angelique was mutual. She could dream.

The next morning, all three receive calls telling them they were to be at the Alpha Alpha Mu house this Friday night. The chapter would be hosting their annual Rush Party. This was where they would decide who they would let in. Susan and Janine were both nervous about this, but encouragement from Maisy stopped them from backing out.

They were told to come in the front entrance and wait, then they would be let in to the party. They were also told to dress semi-formally and be prompt. The prospect of the party and beginning pledging were very prominent on Janine and Susan's minds even as classes started.

Still, both were able to keep it in the back and focus on their class work. Such was not the case for Maisy. Already hardly able to keep focused, all that was on her mind was the party this Friday. She did not worry about getting in. She was sure she would make it.

That Friday, nervous but excited, Janine, Maisy and Susan met in the dorm common room then made the trek to Greek Row and to the Alpha Alpha Mu house. It was a beautiful mansion, at least four stories, and ornately decorated. It was painted blue with all sorts of white trimmings. The front porch was very large, spanning almost the width of the front of the house.

It was littered with outdoor chairs and tables, with a wooden porch swing at the right end of it. Many of the first floor windows were lit up, but the floors above all looked quite dark. Some lively music could also be heard slightly from outside, showing the party had already gotten underway. It was probably the nicest house on campus. The three stood in awe briefly at the structure.

Susan and Janine were still nervous, but encouraging words from Maisy pushed them to walk in and take that first step into the Sisterhood. Susan blushed as Angelique greeted them, then ushered them into a side room, already filled with six other girls. One girl, called Courtney, had a very haughty air about her. Her blonde hair was perfectly done up and you could tell her clothes were all very expensive.

Susan had an instant dislike for this girl. She was just like the cheerleaders and prom queens who made fun of her back in high school. Next to Courtney was a pretty brunette. Courtney was talking to this girl, but you could tell the girl was not interested in what Courtney had to say.

She seemed to smile when a friend of hers, who called this girl Sonya, pulled her away and began to converse with her. Sonya "savior" was about the same size as her, but with slightly darker hair and much bigger breasts.

"I know that girl." Maisy spoke to Susan, pointing at Sonya's friend. "She's in my Art History 102 class. Her name is Alex."

Susan nodded and looked back at Alex and Sonya, now joined by a third girl. She was a very flighty type, and seemed to be flirting with every girl in the room. Susan almost giggled when she heard Sonya tell this girl, Denise, to "fuck off."

Susan laughed when she saw that Maisy had already joined in the mingling. She was talking to a girl almost as tall as Susan. Susan knew who this girl was. Her face was on few posters on campus. She was Daphne Long, the schools new starting center.
