“Not a bad thing at all,” Courtney says. “But get that taken care of before the end of Rush Week.”
“Rush Week?” I ask.
“Yup.”
“That’s next week.”
“And Alpha Delta Xi will sniff you out faster than a damn K9 unit,” she says. “They find out you’re a Kirby, too, and they’ll be placing bets to see who can nail you first.”
“Ew,” I say.
She nods. “That’s how it goes. But they won’t touch you until after Bid Night — it’s part of their code.”
“Why not?” Violet asks.
“They just won’t,” Courtney says. “Once you’re initiated as a Beta Kappa, however, you are officially fair game.”
Violet leans forward, her eyes squinting curiously. “But why though?”
“That’s just how it works, Vi.”
“But why?”
They laugh as Courtney playfully smacks her again.
“Well, what am I supposed to do?!” I ask, not laughing. “I don’t even have a boyfriend.”
“Get one of your guy friends to take it,” she says. “That’s what I did.”
“You did?”
“Yeah.”
“I wish I’d done that,” Violet says.
I blink. “You do?”
“Totally. I gave mine up to some jerk who turned out to be a rival dancer’s boyfriend who only seduced me to convince me not to audition for a part that she wanted.”
We stare at her.
“Seriously?” I ask. “Are you okay?”
Violet shrugs. “Yeah. She ended up getting poisoned, so it all worked out.”
We keep staring.
“Oh, she’s fine,” she adds with a wave of her hand.
“You have got to stop going to that ballet school,” Courtney says.
“Why? I love it.”
Courtney rolls her eyes. “And you say we’rein a cult?”
Violet sticks her tongue out.
“Anyway, do that,” Courtney says to me. “Not what she said. Do my thing.”
