only place people came to study. Most of the high-top tables were full.
    “I’ll have a Vanilla Latte please, and an application.”
    The guy taking orders gave me a second look, reached under the counter and handed me the two-sided piece of paper. “The manager is usually here in the mornings during the week, if you bring it back then, he will interview you on the spot.”
    “Thanks,” I glanced at his name tag, “Bryan.”
    While I waited for my latte, I watched people come and go from Katie’s table. Some, introducing themselves for the first time, others seemed to know her and stopped to chat.
    Katie was the perfect roommate for me – at least the part of me that didn’t want to be invisible. She sucked for the other part. People radiated to her. She said it was because she was tall, people could see her in a crowd, but I knew her personality drew them in. Her laugh was infectious and the way she tossed her long dark hair from shoulder to shoulder made her endearing. She was the girl every girl wanted to be friends with and every boy wanted to date. And her roommate wanted to be the invisible girl most of the time … how ironic was that.
    Katie spotted me staring and motioned for me to join her.
    “This is my roommate Jenna,” she said, pulling me out of her shadow, thrusting me into the spotlight, as I walked up to the table.
    “Isn’t she gorgeous ?” Oh my God, did she just say that?
    I slid into a chair next to her.
    “This is Chelsea, Marie and Dana. They are from Alpha Delta Sigma, one of the sororities I talked with when I registered for my classes.”
    The three girls smiled their hellos at me, I gave a small wave. Their attention returned to Katie quickly. Dana flipped her brown hair over one shoulder and handed Katie a piece of paper. It was obvious they were over me. Dana looked like one of the beautiful people from yesterday. Chelsea and Marie were the perfect blonde book ends to compliment her.
    “Call me. We would like to meet with you. I think you would be a perfect fit for the Delts.”
    “Thanks, Dana. Jenna and I will look for your table at the Information Fair tonight.”
    Katie flashed her award-winning smile. Dana glanced at me; I sat motionless with a mouthful of latte, afraid of what she might do if I moved. She was beautiful but damn if she didn’t have a seriously scary edge to her also. I’m sure she wouldn’t think twice about lashing out at me with her perfectly manicured nails.
    “We look forward to it.” She smiled at Katie then turned on a dime with Ding and Dong right on her heels. I swallowed my latte, stood and looked at Katie, my eyes bulging out of my head.
    “ That is who you want to live with?” I asked, pointing toward the trio as they walked away.
    “God no,” she laughed.
    “Whoa, I was worried. That Dana girl seems like a real piece of work.”
    “Really? I think she seems sweet.” I glared at my roommate – she threw her arm over my shoulder. Taking the latte out of my hand, she helped herself to a drink and said, “I don’t want to live with anyone but you, girly.”
     

>CHAPTER FOUR<
    Our room turned into the pre- Information Fair place to be. People mingled in and out, laughing and dancing in the hallway to the loud music that came from somewhere down the hall.
    I stood in front of the mirror, amazed at what Katie could do with a straightener.
    “You need more color,” she announced, coming at me with a make-up brush.
    When Katie looked in the mirror she saw flawless, tanned skin, so I’m sure my ivory complexion did look transparent to her. I let her work her magic, admittedly, liking what I saw when she finished.
    Holli and Kaylee lived next door and Jennifer a few doors down. We had decided earlier it would be more fun to go to the fair together. Apparently, that also gave us permission to raid each other’s closets, convinced we would find the perfect outfit in someone else’s wardrobe. Katie dug around until she found my tightest
