Good call, puglover! My bid card reads:
1)Donna
2)Jackie
3)Fez
I am so relieved as I turn it in and walk back to the dorm. It’s over and what will be will be.
Every girl on my floor who has rushed is gathered in the lounge at the end of the hall, eating pizza and chatting away. It was really a sight to behold, all these girls still in full makeup and done hair and wearing their jammies. Since I seem to be the last one to return, I just take off my shoes and head straight to the party.
Lisa is sitting in a corner, quietly talking to another girl. She is definitely not her bubbly self. She pulls me to the side and tells me she only received two invites tonight, to Eric and Laurie. She really wants Eric and considered suiciding, but after talking to her mother the night before, she decided to rank them one and two. They had discussed all the possible scenarios and her mother urged her to accept any bid she was given and work to make the sorority a better place. But I am pretty certain they assumed she would still get her remaining first choice.
Just as I was about to tell her about my evening, Tina came booming over, full of praise for the Hydes. Huh? Yes, the only party Tina was invited to was at Hyde and now they had miraculously been transformed into the BEST house on campus! Somehow in all the pizza party craziness, I manage to get out of telling the girls I had three parties, one of which was Fez. I do tell them Donna was my first choice. Lisa gives me a sly smile and says, “I told you so.” Suddenly I am terrified that I will open my envelope tomorrow and see Fez for my bid. It’s bad enough that we aren’t going to end up as sisters, but I am sure it will kill Lisa if I end up the only Fez. Tina, well, I’ve really started to see her true colors. And I might enjoy watching her twist in the wind if she saw me in a Fez bid day shirt.
