Chapter 1

“Go Warriors!”

Archibald Reynolds College is the greatest place I've ever lived. I could be perfectly content to spend the remainder of my life here.

“Would you calm down and try to act normal for once?” Monte grumbled.

“What? It's freshman orientation. I'm just getting them psyched up. Go Warriors!” I yelled out again as we passed another group of incoming freshmen.

“You're such a dork.”

I shrugged. “So what? You're still required to love me.”

“You're insane.”

“I'm pretty sure it's legally binding in the Delta Omega Gamma handbook that you must love your chapter president. Just call me El Presidente.”

He rolled his eyes.

“I still can't believe we were dumb enough to vote you in.”

“Two years running.”

“Yeah, and I fear you're never going to graduate just so you can continue holding the title.”

I shrugged. “It's not a bad idea. I could live here forever. Maybe I'll switch majors again and go into education. Then I could just stay here on staff and teach something.”

He snorted. “What the hell are they going to let you teach?”

“I don't know. I'll come up with something.”

“Basket weaving?”

“Too cliché.”

“Underwater basket weaving.”

“Better, but wolves aren't much for being under water.”

“True. You could always do creative sports like mattress surfing.”

“Good one. I could incorporate some of my personal faves like that time we played Hot Potato with actual firecrackers.”

“Braxton almost lost a finger that time, and Chad banned us from ever playing it again.”

“Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Besides, Braxton's fine and Chad is no longer the man in charge around here.”

He groaned.

A group of giggling girls walked by, pointing in our direction.

“Welcome to the ARC ladies. Go Warriors!”

“Go Warriors!” they yelled back before bursting out in giggles.

“I love freshman orientation.”
