But they don’t suit you.Your legs are your best asset, so you want jeans that draw attention to them,says Mia.

Like skinny jeans?They’re so far out that they’re almost in again,opines Jordan.

I give up on understanding fashion trends and just follow Mia’s advice.She’s moving rapidly between racks and pulls out a pair of jeans.

These ones.

I dutifully return to the dressing room, then return with the new jeans on.

Perfect,says Mia, and Jordan nods.

I peek in the three-way mirror, then look again.Magically, I’m taller, more stylish, and almost…sexy.The jeans are fitted at the top but flare out at the bottom.They cover my shoes and make my legs look even longer.I’ve always thought my legs were too long and tried to hide that fact.

She has a decent ass too,Jordan remarks.When they look at me in the mirror, it’s as if I’m a mannequin.Her gaze moves upward.No tits, though.

Mia giggles.Lucky for all of us, that’s what Vik prefers.

I flush.I’ve never looked at my body as a collection of disparate parts that can be evaluated in terms of how they attract men.My mother was very much of thebeauty is as beauty doesphilosophy.

You need a pair of dressy jeans and casual jeans.Maybe some non-denim jeans,Mia muses.Luckily I have a clothing allowance for the year, although it appears I’ll be spending it all today.

What about my own clothes?I ask, once we’ve purchased an entire wardrobe of jeans, tops, underwear, coats, and even a party dress for upcoming Alpha Z events.

Your old wardrobe looks like it came from the discard bin at the Goodwill,Jordan states bluntly.

Mia is more charitable.There’s an acceptable level of individuality.So when you wear a thrifted Victorian top with your vintage velvet jeans, you look like someone’s granny.But if you wore the same top with your flattering new jeans, you’d look interesting.

I nod.I like the way that she breaks fashion down into principles.It’s a lot more helpful than advising me to burn my entire closet, which Angelica did.

I’ll come by your room, and we can decide which pieces you can work into your new wardrobe,Mia offers.

I thank her, though making all this effort for one man is making me even more nervous.

After a salad lunch at the food court, Jordan drives us back to the sorority house for my next lessons.Des and Angelica are waiting for us in Des’s room.As befits the Recruitment Chair, she has the biggest room of our little crew.

She looks better already,declares Angelica.Mia insisted that I wear my new clothes right away so that I’ll feel comfortable and confident in them.

Okay, time to educate you on all things Viktor.Des pulls up an actual presentation on her laptop.The first slide is a photo where he’s smiling and dressed in a suit.He looks much better when he’s not writhing on the floor.There are bullet points underneath.

Jordan lets out a low whistle.He looks really hot.Where did you get that photo?

From the Athletic Awards banquet last year,Des says.He won the Best Athlete/Scholar award.And some kind of hockey award.

So, he’s smart too?Well, hewasat the library.My first impression of a good-looking dummy was wrong.

What is he studying here?I ask.

Des frowns, searching her memory until Mia answers,Engineering.

An impressively difficult major.But why did he need history books then?

Des clears her throat.Okay, the first thing to remember is that Viktor likes to make the first move.You should encourage him, but nothing too aggressive.

I don’t think that will be a problem.I couldn’t even speak English to Dan in the hallway, so I’ll be lucky to squeak out a hello to the daunting Viktor.

How much experience do you have with men?Angelica demands.

I’ve been on a date.It was with the son of my mother’s friend and pre-arranged by both of them, but it still counts.
