Thread: Gambling Debts [Eclipse Jalorda, Darkest_Fate]

The whole thing was stupid. Berry really should have known better than to bet against Genny. Berry really should have known better than to go out drinking the night before the big presentation that they'd gambled about. Sure, the Kappas had asked her, but Berry had been all like nah, I'm not joining if Genny can't and they'd been all cool with that. Didn't stop them from inviting Berry to everything. Actually, she got invited to, like, everything in a broader since. Really, she'd been lucky to pull the A-, lucky enough that she'd actually been happy, even when Genny had reminded her of the bet. What did Berry have to worry about? They'd been friends since, like, kindergarten. Plus Berry had been, like, totally protecting and hanging with Genny, even if it was a bit of a blow. Most people didn't get their friendship, so Berry just said fuck you to most people. Nine was super early though, especially for Berry. She'd actually turned down an invite by the Betas to go out the night before, making up an excuse. A few had snorted, and Berry thought she heard someone mention a date with her girlfriend, whatever that meant. It did mean that Berry was at least a little more bright eyed and bushy tailed that morning. Her flame red hair, that color that bordered on orange, usually had a nice flow to it, ending in these cute little curls that were downright anime sometimes. Early mornings did not treat Berry's hair well though it stuck out at odd angles and one of the girls would have attacked her freckled face. Thankfully, God had invented ponytails for just such an occasion, even if it did nearly look like Berry had some kind of bunny tail sticking out of the back of her head. She yawned as she hurried toward Genny's dorm. Sucked that they hadn't managed to get a dorm together. Berry had tried, but her parents had intervened on that one. You spend enough time with Genevieve, Berry, you need to make more---well, you need to spend more time with other people. Yeah, cuz Berry definitely didn't need more friends. They'd been at college for, like, two months and it was harder to find someone who didn't know and like Berry than someone who did . Probably helped that she was good-lucking. Not so much sexy Berry was petite in all the ways that mattered. She was one of the shortest girls at the school, and her body matched it all too well. Constant partying and a decent love-life left her pretty thin, eating away at her tendency to drink a fair amount and gorge on any chocolates that got in her way. Her button nose only enhanced the whole cute as a button thing and the sheer mass of freckles that dotted her body didn't help. Berry McIntire looked every bit as Irish as that last name sounded. Berry looked up at at the numbers of the dorm rooms, squinting. She ended up sighing and dropping her glasses over her pretty, bright green eyes. Usually Berry had contacts, though she often forgot to prepare them. Since this was so early, and since Berry was seeing a friend instead of heading for a hot date with a total stud which reminded her, she'd probably have to cancel with Niles this weekend, she didn't bother with fiddling with her eyes. Besides, Berry made the glasses thing look adorable. She also made the long denim skirt and the loose, overlong baby tee that hid her slim, freckled form as well as proclaiming her love for Imagine Dragons. Yep, definitely passed Genny's room. Still yawning, Berry pulled a one-eight and headed down to the right room. There would be no knocking, no signal at all. Berry just burst into the room, practically beaming like a ray of sunshine. Hiya Genny! Sorry I was so late, but I totally like, missed your room. Just walked right past it! But it's cool! I didn't even go out drinking last night! The Betas totally invited me and---wow, Berry had finally stopped talking long enough to look at her friend. Those green eyes went wide and Berry adjusted her glasses, crinkling her nose. You look super cute! Oh, oh, is that my first job? Am I supposed to get you a date or something? There's this really cute guy in our History class, uhhhh, I think he's name's Henry, but he totally checks out your butt like every time we get into class. His eyes just zoom right to it. Like, zoom, Berry drew a line from her eyes to her friend's rear and then forced that beaming smile onto her.
