10 A Week On Campus

Natalie One week had passed since I’d moved to campus, and things had been... active, to say the least.Invitations to pledge sororities poured in almost daily, but Lisa and I turned them all down without hesitation.Independence was our priority. Besides, being a student at Cainebrielle already opened every door of opportunity imaginable. Joining a sorority felt excessive, and honestly, I hated the color pink.Most of them seemed to be drenched in it—except for Phi Umbra, of course. They were different. Their preference for dark, monochromatic colors might have intrigued me if it weren’t for their obsession with secrecy and an unsettling fondness for crimson accents.The whole "mysterious and exclusive" vibe wasn’t as appealing as they probably thought. So, no thank you.Despite the chaos of settling in, my thoughts kept circling back to Adrian.

11 Bonfire

Fated In Darkness/Karima Sa'ad Usman

NatalieUp close, Carson was even more striking than the whispers and rumors made him out to be.

12 A Confrontation

Fated In Darkness/Karima Sa'ad Usman

NatalieLisa and I were still chatting as we walked when a voice called out behind us."Hey! Hey, you two!"I turned, my stomach sinking as I spotted Michelle and her entourage of sorority sisters strutting toward us.Their heels clicked against the pavement in unison, their movements sharp and deliberate. I didn’t have the energy for whatever drama they were bringing."What do you want?" Lisa called out, her tone sharp.Michelle didn’t answer right away. Her icy gaze stayed fixed on me as they closed the distance.I considered walking away, but Lisa planted her feet firmly, crossing her arms with her signature I-don’t-care-who-you-are look.Michelle stopped a few feet from us, a smug smirk tugging at her lips. “There are rules on this campus,” she said, her voice laced with condescension. “And it seems you haven’t gotten the memo.”I raised an eyebrow, trying to keep my face neutral. “What rules?”Michelle tilted her head slightly, her dark hair shimmering under the streetlights.“Guy
