Episode 1: Car Troubles

Part 1

It was a bright August morning with a slight breeze ruffling the dark green leaves of the PCA campus. There were friends all over the place welcoming each other back from summer vacation, their bags left forgotten on the sidewalk as they discussed their holiday. A blue car drove into the PCA parking lot and from its passenger side exited a small boy. The boy had dirty blond hair, wore a purple PCA t-shirt, and tan shorts that stretched down past his knees. The boy was in a hurry to get to his friends so he ran to the trunk of the car and started pulling out his bags.

After taking out his bags he yelled "What is taking you so long Zoey!" He then rolled his eyes and started to leave.

"Wait Dustin!" yelled Zoey. Zoey got out the car having just finished checking her makeup. Zoey had blond hair like her brother; she wore a pink tank top, and a blue jean skirt. She ran up and gave her brother a big hug and said, "You had better behave this year I don't know how many more times I can get you out of trouble."

"Stop babying me Zoey I'll be fine." Dustin said with a slight grin, he did sort of like the attention. Dustin then took up his things and left.

Zoey turned back to her car and thought; I love that seniors can have their cars with them. And with that she stated to grab her bags.

Then came a very sarcastic voice behind Zoey "I can see you're just as perky as ever."

Zoey was so startled that she hit her head on the top of the car and yelped in pain. She then turned around and screamed, "DANA!"

"Yeah it's me." Dana said in her usual cynical tone.

"You're back?" asked Zoey.

"Yeah, after studying abroad I decided to spend my senior year here at PCA."

It had been three years since the girls had seen each other and although she did not show it Dana was happy to see Zoey.

"Where are you staying?" Zoey asked with a bit of apprehension in her voice remembering the last time she had shared a room with Dana, but then again she can't be worse than Quinn.

Dana started to say her room number "I'm in Brenner room 10-"

"1" finished Zoey throwing on a semi-fake smile. "Yeah, me too."

"Oh my God! Do you mean to tell me that I have to share a room with Nicole?" Dana said not even bothering to hide her hatred.

"Actually Nicole doesn't go here anymore on account of her OMGD." Zoey said and then added before Dana could ask, "it stands for Obsessive Male Gender Disorder."

"Figures." Dana said while rolling her eyes.

Both girls left to go set up their room.

A tall teenager was walking with his bike having already set his stuff down in his room. His hair was dark brown and rather messy, some would say "bushy", but he didn't mind. He wore a blue shirt that was unbuttoned showing a black t-shirt underneath. He wasn't scrawny but neither would he be described as muscular.

"Hey Chase!" yelled a fellow senior.

Chase gave a slight wave and continued walking. The only person he was thinking about meeting right now was his girlfriend Zoey. After years of pining over her and even a semester apart they were finally going out.

God this felt like a dream. I haven't seen Zoey all summer but we kept in touch through almost constant emails and other virtual devices. I am the luckiest guy in the World! And yet I feel as if I am in a dream and as soon as I see Zoey again it will all just come crumbling down.

Then Chase saw a few guys from his class come driving up in their cars and he thought I hate that seniors can have their cars with them. It wasn't that he hated cars it was just he couldn't afford one.

"Oh well, I guess I will just have to settle with my bike." And with that Chase jumped on his bike and started peddling, but he had not gotten far before he fell off his bike and down a hill. The reason for his clumsiness was the appearance of Zoey his girlfriend.

"CHASE!" yelled Zoey in a frightened tone, while Dana just stood there and laughed.

Zoey ran over to where Chase was lying and grabbed him pulling him up to check and see if he was okay. After seeing that he had no bad injuries she pulled him into a hug.

"You've got to stop falling like that." Zoey said with a smile on her face.

"Well the way I see it I was given this bushy hair of mine to protect me against falling and to not fall would be to deny my special gift."Chase said with an even bigger smile on his face.

Zoey then punched him in the arm warranting a yell from Chase "Ouch! My bushy hair doesn't protect my shoulder."

"Then don't scare me like that again." Zoey whispered with a taunting smile as she leaned in towards Chase.

At first Chase was caught unaware but then he too leaned in and the couple kissed, that is before Dana told them to get a room.

"CHASE!" yelled Michael as soon as he had returned to his dorm. "I missed that jungle you call hair."

"Michael." Chase said as he pulled him into a hug. "How was your summer?"

"Well I got this summer job at this ostrich farm you see and" Michael started but just then Logan walked in.

"Hey Chase." Logan gave a slight nod in his direction.

"Hey I was trying to tell Chase about my summer job." Michael complained.

But Logan just went on. "So I see you are back in here with us but where is James staying."

"Was James your other roommate while I was gone?" asked Chase.

"Yeah and he had a lot of similarities with you Chase. Not only did he have the privilege of sharing his room with me I mean who wouldn't want to live in the same room as my awesomeness."

"Hey he was also my roommate too and I don't think you're so great." Michael added in an annoyed tone because his story had been interrupted.

"But Logan just ignored him and continued on."And also he lov-"

"TACOS" Michael cut in quickly giving Logan a quick stare.

"He did." Chase said a little suspicious. "Is there something you're not telling me?"

"What do you, I mean, uh, um" Michael stuttered. "I'm going to go get same fruit. Bye!" Michael said quickly before rushing out of the room.

Chase looked at Logan who merely shrugged and went to go look at himself in the mirror.
