Edward had believed all through freshman year that the fraternities all were unfriendly, save for parties at select allies of course. He'd seen a few working together for trips or fundraisers, but it had seemed like more of the 'allies only' kind of activity. It was surprising to hear otherwise, but maybe it was just a special case with his own. He didn't even<i>want</i>to join in on any of the activities.<br/><br/>"That.. well, I mean, of course. I don't think... Well.." Edward didn't want to speak bad on Mu, but it just seemed to come out. "I didn't think anyone got along. I guess it's just because Mu is.. a little abrasive?"<br/><br/>He wouldn't share even if it was okay, though. There was no way in hell he'd let Dwayne catch word of him going to another frat ever again. If there were parties, he'd only be obliged to make an appearance at the ones in his own house. Edward grabbed his backpack and hurried to keep up with Tiger. "Hmm? Skipping? Oh. No.. not usually? I had to miss a lot of days last year, but maybe just one or two days just because I.. need breathers, you know?"<br/><br/>Just a day or so wasn't bad compared to all the hangover-induced absences his fellow frat-mates had missed. Or the random trips to the beaches and the mountains. He rubbed his good hand on the back of his neck, still embarrassed to admit that he'd missed any days. This was something he was paying for, even inadvertently, and he'd once sworn to never be like the guys in the movies that wasted a perfectly good -- and expensive -- education.<br/><br/>Edward looked up as they approached Tiger's not-so-humble abode, realizing he'd never paid much mind to any of the buildings on the street. Not even when he'd been unpledged! It wasn't anything extravagant, but it was still plenty pleasant to look at. "I.. I feel like I'm cheating just<i>looking </i>at this place," he mumbled, offering that shy smile of his as they approached the door. "And you're<i>sure </i>it's alright? I mean, you won't tell anyone I was here?"
