Queens College was considered a prestigious school, known for producing graduates who went on to be successful in not only the arts but engineering, computing, design, and more. It had a beautiful campus that was more than instagram worthy, and students love plastering all over their social media that they went there. It was also a school based heavily on sports teams, sororities, and frats. It was a party school at heart, or thats what the students seemed to think. It could be cliquey sometimes, appearances were a big deal to some people. In freshman year it was usually the good looking social people who got recruited into sororities and frats, the social ladder being made very clear from the get go. Alexandria was invited to join a sorority when she first started school and she joined, mostly because her housemates had done the same and it seemed like fun. She could be oblivious sometimes, to her it wasn't some exclusive club for popular people, it was a fun way to meet people. Her view was completely different from other girls in the sorority and she wasn't even aware of it. From a young age she was the type of person to reach out and grab someones hand without a second thought, without caring who they were or how 'different' they were. She never seemed to notice those things.
Alex stared down at her phone, typing a quick message as she leaned against the painted cement wall behind her. Her eyes glanced to the time before looking to the door across the hall from where she waited. She wore blue jean shorts that had been cut shorter, causing some threads to hand loose. Above that was a simple white t-shirt that she had tied at her waist, making it fit snuggly and show a sliver of mid drift. Around her neck were a couple dainty golden chains. Hanging from one was a rock that could almost be called a gem, but not quite. It had been shined and crudely wrapped in wire to make a small pendant. It was a gift she'd gotten as a child from Aaron that she'd kept for years and wore almost every day. It was just a rock he'd found that she insisted was treasure, so he made it into a pendant for her. Her hair hung free, pushed mostly to one side where she'd swept it with her hand. She was waiting for Aaron, his class should have been ending soon but she couldn't see him through the window on the closed door. She could only see the first couple rows... but he was probably there. She'd wait and see. Her eyes lowered back to her phone, people passing by as they walked through the hallway. In one of the rows closer to the front two guys were whispering obnoxiously loud "That hot chick is back again, should I ask her out today?" "Nah man, not unless you want to get beat up by smurf boy" The hushed laughs caused the professor to sigh and look at the clock. "I guess you guys have checked out for the day anyways. You're dismissed." People began to stand and pack their things to head out. Alex's eyes lifted as the first people began to leave, looking for the familiar blue hair of her friend.
