Sorority Grads

The Sorority Grads household consists of 4 young women (was 5 until 1 got married!) living in an apartment, beginning their careers just out of college.  Eden Mason, a beautiful, fun-loving girl who longs for attention and fame, working in film and trying to become an actress; Asiana Morrow, a classy girl with elegance and wit with a dream to become the CEO of her own company; Mandy Fulcher; a soft spoke girl of quiet beauty, who is nurturing and loves to care for others, hoping to someday be a celebrated chef, and lastly; Judy Cole; a complicated, sometimes manipulative, confident and self sufficient girl trying to break into the fashion industry.

Here's Eden Mason, enjoying a date with her musician boyfriend Alex Mirage.  Eden is anything but a relationship girl, so after these two met at a party and hooked-up, she had no idea that they would develop feelings for each other and begin a relationship. That's never been her style. She can't believe she's letting herself fall for him....

He just had this way of always making her smile...

Meanwhile, fashionista Judy Cole is starting her day at the salon, and its a day like any other.

Rishelle Glenister stops by in the morning with little son Logan for some hilites and a new formal outfit!

Later on, Abe Finkel stops by for a haircut, but Judy ends up giving him a head-to-toe makeover! This guy was so stuck in the 80s it was ridicuous....

Mandy goes to the community pool for a dip-her job as a pastry chef doesn't start until later, and she wants to get her tan on.

While at the salon, Judy oversees Thomas and Grace Wright, a staple couple in town, being cute and romantic to each other, and it only serves to remind her about her own boyfriend troubles. She's being dating a guy named Jacen Reynolds for almost 6 months now, and he has been ignoring her calls lately, and Judy is feeling slighted and neglected. She realizes how much it hurts her that he isn't caring about her needs.

As the salon slows down, Judy's mind is in overdrive. She has become very close to her guy friend Adrian Reed, and calls him to make herself feel better.  Talking to somehow who listens to her and makes her feel special feels so nice- she misses it. She invited him to come to the salon, and pulls him into an intimate hug.

Meanwhile, Asiana leaves after a rough day at the office and heads to Jenner Pool, meaning to take a dip.  There she runs into Jacen Reynolds, Judy's boyfriend that she had met but barely knows, and after listening to Judy drone on all last night about her relationship status, Asiana, the straight-forward gal she is, decided to get the scoop from the horse's mouth. She asks Jacen why he isn't returning Judy's calls.

As the daylight fades, Jacen explains to Asiana that he's not sure how to handle his mixed feelings- while he cares about Judy, he's just not sure of his feelings anymore- her ambition annoys him, her constant gossip frustrates him, and he just feels his interest waning.  As Asiana listens, she notices that she has already noted the color of his eyes....the smell of his cologne...the way he smirks when he's being sarcastic.  Everything he is saying rings true in Asianas's mind, and while she loves her dear friend and roomate, his frustrations make sense.  He says that he wants a woman who wants to settle down, someone who wants to be serious, and he just doesn't see Judy as being mature enough to be in that place.  Asiana listens, and despite her best efforts, feels her heart rate pick up a little....

Simultaneously, Judy is becoming more and more flirtatious with Adrian, to Adrian's delight. He would never have made the first move knowing that she was taken, but he's just not quite noble enough to refuse her advances.

They flirt and hold hands, Judy loving the attention, and she starts to forget that she has a boyfriend named Jacen....

Acting on heat and impulse, Judy invites Adrian back to her place, her palms sweaty and her body weak with desire. Adrian is more than willing, and Judy and Adrian leave Bella's Salon together...

As Judy and Adrian wait for the elevator up to their apartment, Eden comes home from her date with Alex, and Judy feels her blissful bubble pop. What is she doing? Is this really what she wants? She hastily tells Adrian that she needs some time, and goes up to her apartment with Eden, as confused as ever.
