Sorry it took so long to write another story, my internet got turned off because of late payments because personal medical things that the payer of said internet had to go through. I will update this story when I can. Also, there are warnings, because my stories always have warnings. This is a pre story to Baked Love. Also, I'm dumb and messed up Gerald's father's name. I forgot it was Martin.

Jamie-o let loose a sigh as he waved at his family one last time. The young man is filled with a mixture of many emotions, mostly sadness and relief. He would miss his family, along with his friends and Hillwood, terribly, but he was also ecstatic that he was going too. It wouldn't be terrible being away from home, one of his best friends, Jay, would be with him, so would his on again/off again girlfriend, Cassandra. In an even better stroke of luck, both Jamie-o and Jay would be in the same dorm room through out their freshmen year.

"Hey man, hurry up, the plane aint' gonna wait for you," Jay said, his voice breaking Jamie-o from his thoughts.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming dumbass," Jamie-o replied with a grumble, but followed his long time friend onto the plane. The two continued to banter until the got onto the plane then into their seats. Surprisingly, they were right next to each other, and they were pleased with the arrangement. It would take five long hours, but it would be easier, and worth it, when they both got a good education from a decent college. Jamie-o had gotten extremely lucky and gotten into New York University on a sports scholarship for both wrestling and foot-ball. He still didn't know what he wanted to do exactly, maybe something with cars or maybe with sports.

Five hours later, they landed in New York, excited grins on their faces. The two were quick to get a cab to take them to the university, both wincing at the bill at the end. The cab driver rolled his eyes at the two newbies and the two eighteen year olds payed with a grumble. They'd have to get jobs to help with expenses. Both young men were in awe as they looked around the campus, their excitement renewed. After a few wrong turns, they made it to their dorm before meeting their dorm floor adviser. The older man took his job seriously and managed to memorize everybody's name on his floor. His name is Mark Kent and was a math prodigy.

"Johansson?" Mark said, looking over at Jamie-o, one dark, thick, brow raised. He'd been quick to help them both to their room while explaining the rules.

"Something wrong?" Jamie-o asked casually.

"You forgot to sign up for an elective, it's required every year for student's so they learn something different from their core classes," Mark said, voice calm. Jamie-o suddenly looked panicked.

"I-I didn't know," Jamie-o stuttered out, dark eyes wide in shock.

"I figured as much, most out of town students don't know. Unfortunately, all of them are full except "Cook: The basics." There's a computer down the hall that you can use to sign up." Mark said. "It's number is 33792* and don't forget to sign in with your L-number."

"Thanks man," Jamie-o said with a small huff as he scurried off. As soon as that was done, Jamie-o came back to his dorm and helped Jay set it up, even though it wasn't much. Fortunately, the two didn't need much.

*I don't know if other colleges have L-numbers, it's basically your ID number for campus, but mine does and thus why I used it.
