Prologue
Today marked the day that girls are now allowed to go to PCA. PCA stands for Pacific Coast Academy. It's a boarding school for six graders to twelfth grade. The head of PCA Dean Rivers thought that it would be a great chance to let girls into PCA as well as the owner of PCA. Some of the boys watched as girls got out of their parents vehicles and go to Butler Hall. There was a lot of girls that got accepted into PCA as well as new boys. Most of the thoughts going through some of the boys were along the lines of.
"Damn, PCA should've let girls in a long time go."
"Wow, these girls are hot!"
"These girls are going to be gone in a week after prank week!"
This was going to be one of the days that no one was going to be the same at PCA. There was so many new things that were happening. Dean Rivers changed all the dorm rooms over the summer and they were all updated to the newest technology. Most of the boys just ignored the girls as some had sisters that were coming to the school with them.
Chapter one: She arrives.
"Will you be alright?" My dad asked me.
"Yes I'll be fine." I answered him.
"Zoey you will watch over Dustin won't you?" My mom asked me.
"I don't need anyone to watch over me" Dustin said sighing.
"Of course, that's what big sisters are big for." I said wrapping an arm around Dustin's shoulders.
"Zoey I'm too old for you to watch over me" Dustin said.
"Alright you two, Zoey I'll help you on your way to your dorm room and your dad will go with Dustin." My mom said.
"Bye dad" I said hugging him. "See you around campus Dustin" I smiled and walked with my mom to my new dorm room. We had a cart to bring all my stuff to the room. I looked around the campus and saw that it was bit bigger than the pictures from the brochure. Mom and I finally arrived to my dorm and I looked around and started to look at the numbers. 101 was my room number and I was going to be the first one to arrive to pick the bed I wanted. I walked in and saw that I was the first one in my room and picked the single the bed and put my stuff there. My mom helped me unpack all my belongings into my section of the room. The first thing that I unpacked myself was my Pearbook.
"Zoey are you sure that you don't need anything else?" My mom asked me after we finished unpacking.
"Mom, I'll be fine." I said to her.
There was a lot on my mind that I wanted to tell her, but I knew that I wanted to show that I can do this myself. I looked at her and hugged her as this was going to be the last time I saw her until break. She hugged me back and then I walked with her to the entrance of the dorm where we said our goodbyes again. I walked back to my dorm and I saw another girl there.
"Hi, I'm Zoey Brooks." I said to her sitting on my bed.
"Dana Cruz" She said as she marked the bottom bunk as her bed. "You must've gotten here early to claim that bed as yours."
"Not really, I got here an hour ago." I said to her as I was logging into PCA's wifi to use my Pearbook.
"Is that the newest Pearbook?" Dana asked me.
"Yeah it is." I said smiling at her. "It was my going away gift from my parents. My brother got one too."
"You have a brother? Is he older or younger?" Dana asked.
"He's younger." I said as I started to write an email to my grandma about PCA.I I promised her that I would send her emails everyday on everything that was happening.
Dear Grandma,
How are you? I'm doing fine. I miss you guys so much. I hope to see you when it's break time. Today is the day I moved into my dorm room here at PCA. I met one of my roommates. Her name is Dana Cruz. She seems nice. I hope I get to meet my other roommate soon. I can't wait to hear from you. Love you so much Grandma.
Love always xoxo
Zoey xoxo
After I finished my email and sent it, there was a scream from one of the girls' bathrooms. I got out of bed and ran to the girls bathroom to see a girl standing there looking at something. I looked at where she was staring. It appeared to be something that I never seen before but I could guess that it was what the boys use to go to the bathrooms. The school was meant for guys and I guess that they never took out all the toilets that the guys used when they changed over the dorms. The girl was still frighten.
"Hey it's going to be okay" I said to her.
"I'm Nicole by the way." She said looking at me.
"Zoey." I said to her. "What's your room number?"
"101" She said to me.
"That's the same room I'm in. You must be the last roommate." I said to her and we walked out of the bathroom and towards the room.
We walked in and I saw that Dana had finished unpacking all her belongings and she was on the couch on her own laptop. Nicole looked and saw that the only bed left was the top bunk. Dana looked up and saw Nicole.
"Who are you?" Dana asked.
"I'm Nicole, I'm your roommate." Nicole said. She started to unpack her own things and made her bed.
I sat on my bed watching the girls talk as I check my laptop for any emails from my grandmother. I looked and saw that there wasn't an email but an instant message from Dustin. I smiled as I opened the tab and looked at the message.
Dustin_Brooks: Hey Zoe, how are your roommates?
Zoey-Brooks: Hey Dustin, my roommates are fine. What about your roommates?
Dustin_Brooks: I don't have any….not that I know of.
Zoey-Brooks: Sorry to hear that Dustin.
Dustin_Brooks: It's alright. I like it, anyways I have a single bedroom!-
Zoey-Brooks: Wow that's so awesome. I have roommates.
Dustin_Brooks: What are their names?
Zoey-Brooks: Dana and Nicole.
Dusitn_Brooks: Cool. Can't wait to see you soon!
Zoey-Brooks: Alright Dustin. Where should I met you?
Dustin_Brooks: My dorm room! I'm in the Maxwell Hall!
Zoey-Brook: Be there soon!
Dustin_Brooks: See you soon Zoe!
~Dustin_Brooks Signed out~
I smiled and put my laptop into my backpack and took my dorm key and walked out of the room and walked out of the building and went to go look for Dustin's dorm room. I looked and spotted Maxwell Hall. I walked towards the door and entered. I started to look around the main lobby for Dustin. I sighed and texted him.
'Dustin what's your dorm room number' – Zoey
'158' – Dustin
'Alright see you' – Zoey
I walked towards the dorm rooms and looked at the numbers. I spotted 158 and saw that on the whiteboard that there was stick figures of our family. I knocked on the door and waited for Dustin to open the door. I saw the door open and Dustin hugged me. I smiled and hugged him back. He led me into his room and I looked around and smiled.
"Wow Dustin, you and dad did a great job unpacking your room." I said to him as I sat on the couch.
"Thanks Zoe. So how are you liking your first day so far?"
"Eh, it's okay. I mean it's only moving day. Classes start in two days from today. Do you have everything you need?"
"Yeah. I got all my books and supplies. Do you have everything?"
"Yeah of course I have everything."
"What's in your bag?"
"My laptop"
"Oh you wouldn't want to leave that anywhere."
"Oh Dustin."
We sat in his room watching the T.V. until there was a knock at the door. I got up as Dustin was still watching the T.V. I opened the door and there stood a guy with a bushy hair do. I looked at him as he looked back.
"Um can I help you?" I asked him.
"I'm Chase Matthews, I tripped over this package outside on my way into the building and it was for Dustin Brooks…" The guy Chase said.
"That's me!" Dustin said getting off the couch and looking at the package. "It's from Grandma and Grandpa!" Dustin said happily as he set the package on the table and opened it. Inside the box was a scoter.
"Wow Dustin, it's what you asked for." I said to him.
"Yeah! Thanks uhh.." Dustin said looking at Chase.
"Chase. If you ever need anything I'm in room 148." Chase said and left the room.
"He seems nice." I said to Dustin. "You could take him up on his offer if you need anything and I can't help you." I said to him.
"I guess so Zoe." Dustin said to me.
We went back to watching T.V. for a bit before we would take a tour of the campus. Even though we already went on one before coming to the school and moving in. I wanted to look at everything at my own place and then Dustin and I could get something to eat for a bit and then I would take him to his dorm and I would talk to him later.
The T.V. show ended and we went on the campus and looked around trying to see where we could get something to eat. I tried to remember from the tour that we went on last week. We walked until I literally bumped into some.
"Sorry" I said to the person.
"Watch where you're going." He said to me.
"I said I was sorry or were you too deaf to hear it" I said to him looking at him.
"You have some spunk for a girl…The name is Reese…Logan Reese." The guy said to me.
"Zoey Brooks. And this is my brother Dustin." I said to him and started to walk away from as Dustin started to pull on my hand. "I'll see you around." That was the last thing I said to Logan before Dustin made us look around the school.
"Zoe, come on let's get some coffee!" Dustin said as they arrived at a coffee cart.
"Alright." I said to him as we were in line to get coffee.
The line wasn't too long or too short. There was so many different things to explore here on PCA and I hoped that something amazing would happen. We walked up to the front and order our two coffees and I paid for them and we walked away from the cart and walked around the campus to get a good feel. I spotted my two roommates sitting at a table and I walked over to them with Dustin next to me.
"Hey Dana, Nicole" I said sitting down and Dustin sat next to me.
"Hey Zoey." They said.
"Is that your brother?" Dana asked me.
"Yeah, this is Dustin. Dustin these are my roommates Dana and Nicole." I answered Dana.
"Wow he is just the cutest!" Nicole said smiling.
"Thanks." Dustin said sipping his coffee.
"Should you really be drinking coffee?" Dana asked Dustin.
"Eh, I don't know. I feel like it" Dustin answered smiling at Dana.
"There are some really cute guys here at PCA" Nicole examined looking at the guys that were passing by the table or sitting at other tables near our table.
"Nicole, this seems like your first time being around boys…" Dustin said.
"Just really cute guys!" Nicole smiled.
We sat the table talking for a bit until two guys walked over to us. I knew that one of one them looked familiar since he dropped off Dustin's package to his dorm room. Dustin looked up from the conversation to look at the two guys.
"Chase!" Dustin said smiling
"Hey." Chase said. "Mind if we sit?"
"Sure go ahead" Dustin said smiling.
"Who are these two?" Dana asked.
"I'm Chase Matthews and this is my roommate Michael Barrett" Chase said.
"We met Chase when in he was dropping off a package to Dustin's room" I said to Dana and Nicole.
"You know, I was just doing the most common thing a nice person would do." Chase said.
"You never said what your names were" Michael said.
"I'm Dana" Dana said
"Nicole! Nice you meet you" Nicole said.
"I'm Dustin" Dustin said smiling.
"Zoey, it's nice to meet you Michael" I said to him.
"It's nice to meet all of you too. Hope we all can become the best of friends" Michael said.
"So do you and Chase have another roommate?" Nicole asked.
"Yeah, he's in the room unpacking his things. He seems…." Chase started to say.
"A complete jerk." Michael finished the sentence.
"Is he really that bad?" Dana asked.
"Yeah, we known him since we came to the school…" Chase said.
"He might be good at sports but I can tell you that he is probably going to try and hit on all the girls here." Michael said.
