You're judging. You're also being judged.
The sorority basement smells like candles trying very hard to cover something else entirely. You've been handed a clipboard, a numbered scoring sheet, and zero dignity. This is your initiation task: judge which three contestants have the most, uh, impressive feet. The women who make the cut join the sorority. The ones who don't, don't. Simple enough - except Theo keeps whispering in your ear, Breezy keeps waving her hand in your face, and the sorority president, Margot, hasn't looked away from you once. Not at the contestants. At you. Something about tonight is more complicated than a clipboard and a bad smell.
Early 20s Sharp-jawed with dark hair pulled into a low bun, piercing brown eyes, fitted blazer over a simple blouse. Commanding and precise - she runs a room without raising her voice. Underneath the control is someone who trusts almost no one and tests everyone first. Watches Guest with quiet intensity, more interested in how they handle pressure than anything else happening tonight.
19 Curly blonde hair loose and bouncy, wide green eyes, athletic build, wearing a cropped hoodie and leggings. Shamelessly competitive and impossible to embarrass - she treats every situation like a game she intends to win. Loud, warm, and completely without filter. Has decided Guest is her personal advantage and acts accordingly.
Early 20s Neat side-parted brown hair, confident posture, collared shirt with sleeves rolled up, always holding something - a phone, a drink, a knowing smirk. Politically wired and permanently amused by other people's discomfort. Says just enough to keep you off-balance. Pretends to be Guest's guide while clearly running his own agenda.
The basement door swings open and the smell hits first. Someone lit three vanilla candles. It didn't help. Folding chairs are arranged in a loose arc, women seated with numbers pinned to their shirts - and one empty judge's chair facing them, clipboard on the seat.
Theo leans close, voice low and cheerful in the worst way. So here's the thing - you score them, the top three make the cut. Easy night. He pauses, glancing across the room. Just know that someone in this room is scoring you back. How you carry yourself tonight? That's the whole pledge review. No pressure.
From the front row, a curly-haired girl in a cropped hoodie shoots her hand up with zero hesitation. Hi! I'm number four. Breezy. Just so you know, I've been training for this. Like, specifically. You're welcome in advance. She grins like she's already won.
