Synopsis:
And you thought the hardest part of freshman year was
scheduling...
Sunny McCormick is in love with love. She's cute, romantic and convinced her Prince Charming is out there somewhere.
Grace McCarrion has never been in love. She's shy, reserved and her own worst critic.
Claudia Mansour isn't sure she believes in love. She's confident, beautiful and hard to impress.
They've decided to go against the grain and, rather than pledge the Greek system at the University of Illinois, create an unofficial sorority of their own.
This is their story. The ups and downs, the trials and tribulations, the romance and heartbreak.

Welcome to freshman year
Excerpt:
As we entered the kitchen, I saw Trevor. When our eyes met
he smiled, and his brown eyes widened. They were so beautiful. My heart started
to thump in my chest, but I tried my best to ignore it. This was my chance and
I wanted to take it.
“Hey, Trevor,” I said with excitement.
“Hi, Grace,” Trevor stammered as he slowly eased over toward
me. “You look awesome!”
His words were slurred. Crap, he was trashed. And it was
only ten o’clock.
“Do you wanna go outside with me?” he asked as he placed his
hand on my shoulder, just trying to stay upright.
I eased my arm around him so he wouldn’t fall into the
kitchen counter. Desperately, I glanced at my friends for help. My face probably
looked pained; I was sure my forehead was creased with worry. We hadn’t planned
for this scenario.
They looked somewhat concerned, but Sunny gave me a look
urging me to go with him.
Finally I said, “Sure, maybe for a little while.”
He gave me the widest grin and it made me feel a little
better. Claudia quickly slipped a beer into my free hand and smiled at us as we
walked onto the balcony.
“I’m so glad you came tonight,” Trevor said with a goofy
smile.
“Same here.”
As I searched for something to talk with him about, he
leaned in closer, his face suddenly serious. “You are?”
“Yeah. Why do you seem so surprised?”
“Because I dig you, Grace. I dig you big-time.”
Wow.
“Really?” I was stunned. All this working up to telling him
how I felt, and he already felt the same way?
“Hell, yeah,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. “I got
here early, just so I wouldn’t miss you.” He put his hands on the railing to
stabilize himself, while keeping his eyes on me.
Well, that explained why Trevor was so drunk already. At
least I didn’t have to Google A.A. when I got back to the dorms.
Strangely enough, my neck wasn’t sweating. My pulse was
starting to even out, and there was no sign of a panic attack on the horizon.
Maybe this dating business wasn’t so difficult. Maybe it just took a few
cocktails to help everyone loosen up. Maybe I could like a guy, maybe I could
relax enough to actually date.
As I opened my mouth to respond, Trevor doubled over,
clutching his stomach.
I screamed as he fell to the floor. He grasped my legs
tightly as he heaved and vomited, right onto my brand new ballet flats.
Oh. My. God.
