Another 4 weekends had gone by, and Madison glanced at her calendar while getting ready for another night of partying. Hmm, 4 weeks until the end of the year she thought to herself as she looked for what to wear. That should leave us, one, maybe two more weekends until everyone shuts down for studying she thought, before moving on to try to find something that she could wear during the heat wave that was hitting the region.
The previous 4 weekends were something of a blur for Madison. During the week (save for nights after chapter, or the occasional Thursday) she had been studying, and keeping up with her assignments and notes. However, the weekends were another story. Madison, Anna, Kelsey, and Cassi had been going out--and going hard twice every weekend. Madison was having a blast. She had slept with a few guys that she wanted to throughout this period, and was continuing the social climb that had began when she stepped on campus. As she put on her underwear, she thought to herself, what could be in store for her. Sorority executive board? Please she thought, that was a given. Class President? Too time consuming. Sorority President? Now that's something to aspire to. It was the perfect fit for Madison. Something to show off her total package of looks, smarts, and social achievements. Next fall is when it will all come together, she thought as she grabbed a skirt and pulled it on.
Suddenly, Madison noticed that it felt a bit tight. It was going to button, without much effort. But still, the skirt used to be, well, a bit looser. As she looked at her still shirtless body in the mirror, she noticed that she hard washboard abs in the mirror she noticed that they looked just a bit softer. Not even the precursor to a gut was there, but still, We'll have to watch out for that. For Madison, it was only a casual thought. Nothing to be alarmed by. She was still working out, and plus, when summer came, she planned to have everything cool down a bit.
Down the hall of the sorority house, Anna had already gotten ready and poured herself a gin and tonic while browsing through Facebook. Soooo many photos have been uploaded this month she thought, while browsing through the ones from last weekend. Man, do we look good. However, as she got to a few of them, she wondered about the angle of a few photos. Is that the outline of my belly? Anna looked in closer. It wasn't so much pressing up against her shirt in front as on the sides, but it looked like she had small love handles. Five pounds max, she thought to herself.
That night while pregaming, they discussed their summer plans. Kelsey seemed to have the most exciting ones.
"Sooo, are you excited for Houston?" Cassi asked Anna.
"Yes, it's going to be such hard work, but it could be a once in a lifetime opportunity." Anna responded. She had gotten an amazing internship further south in Houston at one of the top oil companies. Anna always seemed like the odd one out, with her petroleum engineering major, chosen to put her intellect to the test quite quickly, in one of the most lucrative fields. If her work was deemed of high enough quality, and her grades senior year held, she could have a job that paid over $250,000 per year out of college, the reward for years of hard work. However, this meant that she would be gone for the summer, and wanted to get every last night in that she could.
"Madison, did you get your internship?" Anna asked.
"Yes, I'll be working downtown in the 31st street office of HDK." She responded, quite pleased. HDK was a well known investment firm that was located in Powers. Although her parents were rather torn up about it, Madison decided to try to get a summer internship in Powers, as opposed to back home in Miami. Yes, Miami would have been more fun, but she thought she should focus on creating a network in Powers, and this was certainly a good first step.
"Lucky, I'm back at the SAT prep course," Kelsey chimmed in.
"Yeah, but you'll be out earning all of us," Madison replied, trying to remind Kelsey of that.
"For now." She said. Kelsey did not completely know what she wanted to do after school, Madison assumed it would be law school, or maybe an MBA, get a academic track PHD?. Never-mind, thought Madison, Kelsey has no idea what she wants to do next year. She'll probably be content just working out the whole summer, it's all she seems to do now.
Cassi sat there silently. She knew that her accomplishments were not going to look as great in comparison. She was bar-tending over the summer. She knew it was going to be as good of money as Kelsey was making, she could stay in town, plus, it was fun, so she thought it was a good way to kill a few months, however, it seemed much less door opening to her, something her friends seemed to care very deeply about.
Most of these girls had grand plans for the future, yet they were half an hour away from being extremely college, and they finished their drinks and got ready for another night on the town. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
