▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔Anyone who wanted to be anyone at Pierce University was either in Greek life or found their way into a toga for one of the favored parties. The money brought in by the wealthy student body funded the open bar, while bouncers and bartenders were paid to look the other way with all the underage party-goers. Wildfire by itself was already a haven for chaos, but on a night like this, it was a college student's wet dream. The chance to dress up in bedsheets and get absolutely wasted was not a chance that many people passed up, even if they had to sneak in.

Gamma Gamma Gamma president Lillian Newhouse watched from the balcony of the Wildfire VIP room, the newest iPhone held up to her ear as her father droned in her ear about an upcoming family dinner. On a night like this - a break from the chaos of senior year - the last thing she wanted to do was talk with Felix Newhouse. "Alright, I have to go... yes, I'll let Roderick know about the dinner... you know we're both busy right now with the presidencies... thank you daddy, I have to go." Lily ended the call with a roll of her eyes, turning from the balcony and walking into the VIP room. It was a privilege of the Greek presidents and their invited guests, at least for tonight. The rest of the party would be crowding the dance floor and the oversized bar that made up the first floor of the club - or the bathrooms when they eventually had too much. This gods and goddesses party, really Greek life parties in general, were not new to Lily. She knew exactly how they worked, and exactly how to craft the kind of parties that people would talk about for weeks. This party was a group effort, and by magic, Lily, Theo, Sebastian, and Roddy managed to work together long enough for a successful recruitment earlier in the fall, and a Mount Pierce Party that would prove to be better than any in their last three years.

The music started up as already drunken students in the tiniest togas they could create started to flood through the doors. This part of the night, Lily was glad she wasn't in charge anymore - it anything went wrong at this point, the club security guards would take care of it. There was a reason that the Wildfire party wasn't officially sponsored by Pierce Greek Life organizations: something always went wrong. The less that was under the name of Greek life, the better.

Lily took advantage of her momentary solitude and ordered a vodka water from the bartender, leaning against the bar as the pretty bartender worked on her drink. She started to shuffle through the makeshift pocket of her costume with a specific item in mind, and to her dismay, the tiny bag that was hidden in her pocket only had one little pill left. That meant she would have to talk to Adonis to get more, a task she dreaded more and more each time. She had ignored Adonis' existence until she became aware of his supply, and she had to trust him to keep the secret from the rest of her friends. A task that would become infinitely harder as he decided to participate in recruitment this year and got into the same fraternity as Sebastian, her best friend. Just the thought of what she might have to do to keep this secret made her stomach turn, and she knocked back the freshly-made drink, the pill following.

Before anyone joined in in the VIP room, she made sure to send a text to Adonis before she could forget to get more from him. Do you have anything I can buy from you tomorrow? I'm out.
