Preference
Grayson's schedule read:
JAKE
JENNA HAMILTON
She secretly texted her mother. This was their conversation:
Grayson: I got JAKE and JENNA HAMILTON. So many girls are crying and I feel so bad for them.
Mom: I am glad you got the schedule you wanted. Go in with an open mind please!
Grayson: Reputation shouldn't matter right? Just where I feel I belong?
Mom: I just want you to be happy. Remember that although you love JAKE, for other girls it may be their second or last choice. It will be your job if you join to get them to see it the way you do. When you are at JENNA HAMILTON ask them why you are there other than being a legacy? Where do you fit in with their chapter? Go with your heart!
Grayson headed off to her two parties, which can only be described as " A Tale of Two Prefs." It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.......
JAKE- Grayson had decided not to wear black and when she showed up here they were all dressed in the same color as she was. Everyone was so happy to see Grayson. The ceremony was touching. There were many notes written with such personal messages that it made Grayson cry. So many notes, that she could not read them all. There was lots of hugging and by the end of the party Grayson knew in her heart that she as meant to be a JAKE.
JENNA HAMILTON- When her sister went to Pref at JENNA HAMILTON that was what sealed the deal, so she had great expectations. When she was picked up at the door, the girl said something to her like " oh you came back." YIKES There were notes, but they all said the same thing, " thanks for coming." there was no hugging and certainly no tears. Grayson asked her girl, why am I here, where do you see me in this chapter. The rusher freaked out and said " don't you want to be here" ? Grayson had to spend the rest of the party assuring the girl that she wanted to be there. During the ceremony the girls gave off a Stepford- wives vibe to Grayson. To some up the entire party in one word STRANGE.
On the way to ranking, she and other girls said they all hoped they got their first choice. She ranked them JAKE and JENNA HAMILTON.
The following is the text exchange between Grayson and her mother:
G: I just finished ranking JAKE first then JENNA HAMILTON. That is what felt right, no regrets.
Mom: They the JENNA HAMILTONs made their choice in how they treated you and you made yours.
G: everyday I was there it felt like they wished I would drop them already.
MOM: hope you get your first choice because the JENNA HAMILTONs are stuck with you. You are at the top of their bid list.
G: I will embrace them either way.
