A/N: I've had this idea for a while now. The first two chapters will be short intros to each girl, but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless. Input is greatly appreciated and will be the deciding factor in whether this is continued. Thank you for reading. :)


Move-in day approached faster than Jane had hoped and she had begun to question whether she had made the right choice. As one of the top universities in the country, Jane had expected BCU to be filled with America's best and brightest, but the more she looked at the luxury cars pulling into the parking lot, the more she wondered which of these students were in the top ten of their graduating class and which were accepted because of their parents' money.

Jane, like her best friend Coral, was there on an athletic scholarship and she was grateful their roommate request had been accepted. Neither were looking forward to sharing an adjoining bathroom with two other girls in the next room, but private bathrooms cost extra and, with what it cost to attend BCU even with a scholarship, Jane wouldn't dare ask her parents or Coral's to pay for a private bathroom.

"We should have gone to a state school," Jane told Coral as they were getting their bags from the trunk of Jane's car.

"But we didn't," Coral pointed out. "We're here for free, Jane. I get to play volleyball and you get to play softball. We're roommates. We're finally on our own. Maybe this place won't suck so bad when we're with the other athletes instead of all these preppy kids." She paused to stare at a girl carrying Louis Vuitton luggage. "I'm adding that to our drinking game."

The BCU Drinking Game was created during a moment of pseudo soul-searching just days before Jane and Coral were supposed to submit their intent to register. During her junior year, Jane had been recruited by nearly all of the powerhouse softball programs in the country: Oregon, UCLA, Arizona State, Florida, Tennessee, and a few others whose acceptance letters were now taped to her wall at home. She could have gone anywhere, but instead she made the decision to stay in Boston while sitting on the roof of Coral's house after they had left an anti-prom party.

Boston was her home and, although the other schools had better softball teams, BCU could offer what the other schools couldn't: the chance to be close to home and her best friend. College was going to be a culture shock regardless of what school she attended, but at BCU she'd have Coral, her built-in support system, as she adjusted to her new life as a college student.

Jane and Coral were unaware of the percentage of students there on scholarship, but they imagined it was nothing in comparison to the amount of students whose parents had paid their year's tuition in full before the semester had actually began. They were still in the same city they grew up in, but this was a side of Boston they had never seen before. Jane and Coral were on what they considered preppy territory now and the BCU Drinking Game was going to be their coping mechanism.

The rules were simple. While they were on campus together, they'd look out for certain things that they had listed and whoever noticed it first pointed it out so the other would have to take a shot. They wouldn't be able to drink on campus, so they planned on keeping a tally and taking their respective amount of shots to help them unwind in the privacy of their own room.

They had to take a shot for every guy they met whose name contained a roman numeral, for every designer iPhone case, for every time someone mentioned Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard, for every girl who wore pearls, and ten or fifteen other rules in addition to Jane's newly added 'take a shot for every time you see Louis Vuitton luggage.' The list was continuously growing and, as Jane looked around at the other freshmen moving into the dorms, she knew she was going to spend the night drinking whatever alcohol Coral had managed to sneak in.
