In another life

It is the first day in college. Piper Chapman is way ready. She finalized her slides for class and carefully prepared some jokes too. She is the lead TA for the Introduction to Business Administration class. She is responsible for Tuesday and Thursday's recitations, some office hours every week. This is her second and last year as a MBA student at this college and being a TA takes 50% of her student life. Of course, when she interned at this top tier marketing company in Manhattan this summer, her confidence, charm and hardworking rewarded her full-time position after graduation. So Piper is determined to enjoy her last year in college.

"Oh I hope this semester's class is going to be okay. Hopefully there aren't going to be THAT many smartass kids in my class." She complained to her roommate Polly.

"It's an Ivy League, Pipes. And it's business school. What can you expect?" Polly, her fellow MBA student, her sweet roomie, and her best friend answered her.

"Well I just hope they are not that freshmen you know… Why do they always have to prove themselves to be better than others by giving me a hard time in class all the time?" Last year a student almost made her cry in class.

"They are freshmen! And, you should just hope that there are some hottie in your class, really. At least it makes easy on your eyes." Polly said.

"Geez, Po!" Piper gave her a look, "not everyone is going to secretly fall in love with their students. And I'm not risking my future for some stupid college students." Polly always screws around with some of her students after final.

"Oh come on. I am not their TA anymore when final is over. Besides, they try really hard you know. I always feel like they were releasing their anger for this class when they were fucking me. And they always gave me multiple orgasms. I can't complain that." Polly responded with passion.

"Ew. I really don't need to know that. Besides, my students hate me anyway. My recitation is the hardest. I mean look at my scores on . Piper Chapman is hot but very strict on grades. Choose her only if you want to stare at her fine ass in class. Who would write something like this?" Piper couldn't help but smile a little while speaking though.

"Oh you whore. You love it. Now get the fuck out of my room. I am going to FaceTime with Pete. He just came back from the beach. Fucking Australians know how to enjoy their lives." Polly said.

"Good night Po. Make sure no one's around him before taking off your clothes in front of the camera this time." Piper blew her a kiss and exited the room.

Everything is going to be fine. Piper told herself and went to bed. She's nervous but also excited about tomorrow.

"Hello everyone. Welcome to Introduction Business Administration 101. My name is Piper Chapman, a second year MBA here. And I am going to be your TA for this semester. I am from Connecticut. I like running and bowling but also sometimes like to watch Netflix in bed all day. So… since it is our first class, why don't you introduce yourself to the class? Tell us where are you from? What's your concentration? And something fun about you? Shall we start from you?" Piper pointed the student in the first row.

"Hi. My name is Lorna Morello. I am from Brooklyn. My concentration is Human Resources. I am going to marry my high school sweetheart Christopher and have three kids right after college. You know he's a pre-med at Johns Hopkins. So I don't worry much." The short hair answered.

Wow. Piper thought in her head. "That is very sweet, Lorna. Welcome to the class." Piper gave her a big smile.

The line goes on and on. The class burst into laughter when the skinny but fit girl said her name is Poussey. And the girl sitting next to her insisted everyone calls her Taystee. And then there is Soso, who is an international student from Korea; Tiffany who appears to be a devout Christian; Suzzane; Janae; John; blah blah blah…

The second last is a girl with such messy hair. "Nicky Nichols. Finance major. Grew up in New York." She said with plain voice. The girl is clearly not ready for the 9am class.

Piper's eyes moved to the last student in class. There goes a brunette with black frame glasses on her head. She wears perfect black eyeliner and her beautiful green eyes are looking straightly at Piper. All of a sudden Piper started to hear her heartbeat. Here goes the hottie in my class. Piper thought about her conversation with Polly last night.

The brunette put her glass back on and said: "Alex Vause. Also a finance major. Nicky and I went to the same high school. I don't really have a fun story because college is where we get to have fun." The brunette responded with a deep sexy voice.

Shit. She even sounded hot. Piper gave her a big smile. "Welcome to the class Alex. And you are right. You are going to have so much fun in college. You are going to have lots of friends who will last forever. You are going to take all the interesting classes. And you might even get to meet the love of your life here." Piper didn't know why she added the last line. Oh it sounded so stupid. The brunette smiled her back after that sentence.

"Dude. She is so fucking your type." Nicky, the girl with the messy hair suddenly straighten her back and whispered to Alex, "Blonde, pretty and a total geek."

"Whatever Nichols. She is so straight," Alex answered. "And now you are finally awake."

"Okay. Looks like we have a very interesting class this semester. Now let's go through the syllabus. We will have 5 pop quizzes, 5 homework assignments, 3 presentations, and one final exam for this class. You will be assigned to a group of three for the presentations. I will email you with the details right after class. Now before I let you go, do you have any questions?"

The brunette raised her hand. "Yes, Alex." Piper is never good at remembering names but somehow she remembered Alex's right away.

"The syllabus only listed the professor's phone number. I don't see yours." Alex said.

"Right, right. I am sorry. They weren't sure about my extension at that time. Here's my office number." Piper wrote down the number as she spoke. "Please feel free to email me, call me, or stop by my office anytime. And if you don't have any other questions, get out of here and enjoy your first day in college."

Students stood up and left.

"I told you not to pick her class," Nicky spoke to Alex as they stood up, "so fucking many assignments. I need a cigarette before Calculus."

"It's okay Nichols. It'll be fun." Alex looked at Piper one last time before exiting the classroom.

Piper went straight to her office. She's happy with her class this semester. It's a diverse group. And they have funny names which makes it so much easier for Piper to remember. Poussey, Taystee, Soso, Red.. And Alex. She's really tall. Piper peeped at her before she left. Piper entered her office, and took off her Blazer. She wanted to go to the gym before lunch. She took out her running tee.

And the brunette entered the room as she took off her blouse with only her bra left on her.

"Maybe this is a bad time to say hi huh?" The brunette said with her deep sexy voice.
