KISS ME LIKE
YOU MEAN IT

Chapter One

“Here
comes the skank.”

Carlie
cringed from the crushing words her
frenemies
hurled
at her as she passed them on her way to the main office. She slung her backpack
over her shoulder and squeezed past the football jocks taking up all the space
on the steps. The males leered at her making her feel even dirtier than she
already did.

Two
weeks ago she led a normal life. Two weeks ago no one avoided her like she had
a contagious disease. Jenny and Lisa brushed into her, nearly knocking her
down. After she righted herself, the scathing looks sent her way caused her
stomach to roll. The same Kappa sorority sisters who were with her the entire
spring break trip in Mexico left her to fend for herself.

“Could
my life suck any worse?” In low spirits, she trudged up the stairs, ignoring
the whispers and stares along the way. Her footsteps echoed in the near empty
hall as she began the walk of shame into the dean’s office. She opened the door
and was immediately greeted by the secretary, Mrs.
Robard
.

“Ms.
Stevens, Dean Wallace will be with you shortly. Please take a seat.”

While
Mrs.
Robard
didn’t openly state her displeasure, the
curt tone of her dismissive voice spoke volumes. Right then she wished she
could call Carrie and ask for advice. Shame prevented her from reaching out for
what she desperately needed, her sister. So she sat in utter misery waiting to
find out what the outcome of her actions would cost her. Tears of frustration
welled up. To forestall the panic rising within her, she swallowed past the
lump in her throat, closed her eyes to center herself and regulated her
breathing.

“Ms.
Stevens…Ms. Stevens.”

“Huh?
I mean yes, Dean Wallace.”

“Please
follow me into my office and have a seat.” The dean held the door open for her
to slip through. Carlie settled into the chair in front of his massive desk as
he shuffled behind to sit down. Closer to her age group than the last dean, she
hoped he’d look past her error in judgment. She was one of his star pupils and had
never strayed from her educational goals. As V.P. of her sorority, she held
fast to their code of conduct rules. As such, she enforced them herself with
the new pledges and her current sisters.

“Sir,
I know I made a huge mistake on spring break. I have never acted in that manner
before and I promise you it’ll never happen again. I’m really sorry for the
disturbance and negative publicity the school has received from the media.”
