Summary – It's been three months. Three months since they've all seen each other, even talked to each other. Couples drifted apart and friends became strangers. But when they opened their mailboxes and found out that they had been given a scholarship to an apparently prestigious university, how could they refuse? Welcome to Creepy Towers University. The best four years of your life.
Chapter One
"Patricia! Piper! You've received mail!" the twins' father called, jerking Patricia up from her nap. Patricia blinked, pulling off her Skullcandy headphones. Yawning, she got out of bed and headed downstairs, Piper following.
"Lemme see," Patricia muttered, pulling the envelope addressed to her out of her father's hands. Her father looked at her and she rolled her eyes, as he handed the other to her perfect twin sister, Piper. Of course Piper would be polite and ask, she is flawless, of course. Everyone thought so, she knew, they just didn't say it. Even Eddie thought that.
Eddie?
That name hadn't crossed her thoughts in (what felt like) centuries. Since summer began, the once close gang of friends drifted apart. That seemed impossible, after remembering what they all went through. Saving the world (or at least part of it), not once, not twice, not three times, but four times, and yet they "lost each other's numbers" when they left school. Actually, no one seemed to be sure why they stopped talking. They just… did. And Eddie, well, they seemed to be broken up. I mean, how can you be together if you never talk?
Perhaps it was just a summer thing. But everyone had already applied to universities, and it seemed the ones they managed to get into weren't the same. Mara and Fabian had obviously gotten into (different) Ivy League schools, and the rest of them got into locals. Piper had applied to Julliard, but didn't get in, and Patricia had to admit that that made her feel rather good. So, both Piper and Patricia weren't in universities yet, and their parent's weren't too happy about that.
Patricia shook her head, clearing her mind of those thoughts as she hastily ripped open the envelope. Inside was a rather long letter, addressed to her.
Dear Ms. Patricia Williamson,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Creepy Towers University, a top-notch university hidden away in England. You have received a full ride scholarship, and all your extra expenses shall be paid, such as the plane or car ride, and your dorm room.
Creepy Towers is a university that only accepts people we handpick, so feel lucky. It's a prestigious school that is home to many different classes, such as music (we have many different branches and types available to be learnt), theatre, engineering, law, architecture, etc. We have very few classmates, however, as we find it rather difficult to find people that we think are worthy to come to our school.
Please email us your thoughts to by August 1st. School begins on August 10th. Have a fine day.
Creepy Towers University. The best four years of your life.
Signed,
Julia Richards, Headmistress
Patricia furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. It was a top notch, prestigious school that handpicks worthy students, and they had picked her? She glanced over at Piper, who had a similar confused look on her face. "Does yours say the same thing?" she asked, folding her letter back up and sticking it back in the bright white envelope.
Piper nodded, and then looked at their dad. "We've apparently been given a scholarship to a prestigious school. And our ride and dorm room is already paid, according to the letter."
Their dad shook his head, taking the letters from them and setting them on the counter. "I doubt it's real. But, I'll see what I can find on it."
Their dad spent half the night searching the internet. He found immediately, but of course, him being their dad, he had to check credentials and such. When the girls walked downstairs in the morning, their dad was standing there smiling. "How do you feel about university, girls?"
And so, here they were, standing in front of a large, nice building, with a sign above the front doors:
CREEPY TOWERS UNIVERSITY
And that, dear readers, is where the adventure begins.
Thank you all so much for reading! I know I took a small hiatus from writing fanfiction, but I'm back, and I promise to finish this story! I know this first chapter is a bit iffy, but it will definitely get better. Please leave criticism and comments in the review box, it's greatly appreciated!
