Chapter One- Roommates

St. Edwards Church
The Sunday morning mass had just ended. Tommy Oliver walked out with his parents. He walked a little bit ahead of them. He started to talk with one of his old classmates from school.
Thomas and Mary Beth Oliver were very excited for their son. He had just been accepted to Reefside University. Thomas James Oliver Jr., the apple of Thomas and Mary Beth's eyes, was 18. He's very handsome and has spiky hair, olive/tan skin, chocolate brown eyes, full lips, and a nice smile that can make any girl swoon. Sometimes he wore eyeglasses, and that added to his appeal. All the girls his age wanted him, but he never paid attention to them. He concentrated on school and his faith. The only nonreligious thing Tommy did was martial arts. He's a 5th degree black belt.
He was the only child, and they were very protective of him. They always warned him of the bad things out there in the world. Maybe that's why they let him do martial arts, so at least he could protect himself if a time like that ever occurred. Now, they wouldn't be able to keep watch after him. See, the Olivers lived in Angel Grove. Reefside University was about five hours away. Reefside was also way bigger than Angel Grove. There's a lot more out there than the Oliver Family knew.
"Tommy, come here." Mary Beth called for her son. Tommy said goodbye to his old classmate and came over. He saw a nice looking couple talking to his parents. "This is Dr. Anton Mercer and his wife, Elsa." Tommy shook their hands.
"Nice to meet you, sir and ma'am." Tommy politely said. The last name sounded familiar, but he couldn't exactly place it. He was sometimes forgetful.
Elsa Mercer smiled at the young man. "Congratulations on being accepted into Reefside University. They are known for their science programs. Plus, it's a very nice suburban area. We actually own a house out there."
Reefside sounds nice. He thought. "My major is Paleontology." Tommy informed.
Anton nodded. "Really?" Tommy nodded. "I am a doctor of Paleontology. I actually have an internship this winter, maybe you can come." He offered.
"You're the Mercer that's the owner of Mercer Industries?" Tommy couldn't believe he was standing right in front of the well-known scientist.
He laughed. "Yes, I am, now. I've taken over for my father, Arthur Mercer. Trent, our son, will probably take after me. Right now, he's in New York. He's going to NYU for art. Maybe one day you two can meet."
"I'd like that." Tommy gave him a smile. It was nice to meet one of the richest men in the world.
Thomas shook Mr. and Mrs. Mercer's hands. "It was very nice to meet you. Will we be seeing you for next week's mass?" He questioned.
"Yes." Elsa nodded. "Have a nice day. Good luck, Tommy." She gave him a big smile. "Maybe you can come over for lunch. We commute back and forth." Tommy nodded.
"Let me know how things work out at school. Here's my card." Anton pulled one out of his pocket and gave it to Tommy. "Nice to meet you, Mary Beth and Thomas." He shook their hands once again. Finally, he grabbed for his wife's hand, and they left.
Tommy stared at it. "Wow, I can't believe I met Dr. Anton Mercer." He whispered.
"Well, it's a good thing you were accepted into R.U." His Dad said.
"My son is all grown up." Mary Beth had tears in her eyes.
"Mom!" Tommy whined. "I'll be back every major holiday."
"I know." She wiped her eyes. "Come on, we should spend some time together before you leave."
He nodded. Angel Grove would always be home to him, but he wondered what Reefside was like.

Reefside University
Dorm A102
Six days later, Tommy had just arrived to his new dorm. He knew he was going to have three other roommates, and he was anxious to meet them. Once he arrived to the dorm, he noticed two people in there.
"Hi." He greeted his new roommates.
A Hispanic male with light brown hair, brown eyes and built, looked up. "What's up, man?" He smacked his hand with Tommy's and pulled him in for one of those guy hugs. "I'm Rocky, what's your name?"
"Tommy, Tommy Oliver." He answered.
The other male came towards Tommy. He looked about 5'10 with darker hair, brown eyes, and he was definitely a White guy. "What's up?" He did the same greeting as Rocky. "I'm Jason."
"Nice to meet you guys." Tommy said. He looked around. It was a nice place, a spacious living room, kitchen, and two rooms. Both rooms had bunk beds. "Where is our fourth roommate?"
"I don't know." Rocky said.
A very tall White guy with ash brown hair, brown, almost hazel eyes and he wasn't super skinny, but there wasn't a lot of muscle either, walked in. "You three must be my roommates." He smiled and put his bag down. "I'm Conner." They all greeted him. He looked around. "Wow, this place is great."
"I know, right?" Tommy nodded his head in agreement. "So, what should we do about the rooms?"
"Both rooms have bunk beds." Jason told them. "I guess it doesn't matter, it's just who you want to room with."
All four of them looked at each other.
Rocky and Conner took one room, while Jason and Tommy took the other. That seemed like the best fit. All four of them started to move their things in. It didn't take them that long because of their muscle power. In each of the rooms, there were two desks.
Rocky and Conner placed a picture of their girlfriend on their respective desk, while Jason did the same. Tommy didn't have a girlfriend, so he didn't place a picture. It's not like he would place a picture of his mom, that's totally embarrassing.
The four guys reconvened in the living room. They were beat and decided to lie down on the couches.
"I'm hungry!" Conner and Rocky exclaimed at the same time. They laughed.
"I definitely chose the right bunkmate." Jason whispered to Tommy. Tommy chuckled at that.
"Why don't we head to the café?" Tommy suggested.
"Let's go." Conner said. He got up and went with his roommates to the dining place.

University Café
The four men walked into the café. They looked at what it had to offer. It was separated by origin: American, Chinese, Italian, Mexican, and Cajun. The Cajun was something new to the four, but they shrugged it off.
Once they got their food, they went to sit down.
"Where are you guys from?" Jason started off the questioning.
"Stone Canyon." Rocky said through his food chewing.
Jason and Tommy looked at his tray. It had a little bit of everything. Then, they looked at Conner's. His had Chinese and American, but it had the same amount of food as Rocky's. They must be twins in another life.
"I'm from right here in Reefside." Conner replied after he swallowed some rice.
"I'm from Angel Grove." Tommy responded. "And you?"
"Corinth." Jason answered.
"So, did y'all leave behind any girlfriends?" Rocky wanted to get down to the juicy stuff.
Jason nodded. "I have a girlfriend, Trini. We've been together for three years." He smiled. "She's going to USC, she's crazy smart. I'll show you a picture when we get back."
"She's very pretty." Tommy complimented. Jason nodded in appreciation.
"Wow, that's a long time." Rocky noted. "I've only been dating my girl for about a year. Her name is Aisha. I put a picture of her on my desk too." He took a big gulp of his water. "She's going to UC Berkley."
Conner had a gleam in his eyes. "My girlfriend, Kira, and I have been together since we were 11." The guys' jaws dropped. "She's going to go to school here, but isn't coming until tomorrow."
They noticed Tommy was quiet. All three of them were waiting for him to answer.
"I've never had a girlfriend." Tommy honestly replied.
Rocky, Jason and Conner practically spit out their food.
"You've never had a girlfriend?" Rocky incredulously asked. Tommy nodded. "How old are you?"
"18."
"Are you gay?" Conner queried. He's open minded, but it was a shock to know this guy had never had a girlfriend. He looked like a fairly attractive guy.
Tommy shook his head. "No, nothing like that. Trust me, I'm as straight as an arrow." They blew out a breath of relief. "It's never crossed my mind."
"What the hell?" Jason exclaimed.
Tommy gasped. Did Jason just cuss? He shook his head. That was new to him. Tommy has never said a cuss word, only if it was in a reading in the Bible.
His new friends wondered why he gasped.
"That's crazy" Rocky said. "Wow, I've never met a guy who hasn't had a girlfriend and is straight."
After a few moments, the questioning started again. "What are you guys into?" Conner asked the next question.
"Martial Arts." Jason, Rocky, and Tommy said at the same time.
"I'm into soccer, and I'm into martial arts too." Conner told them. "I think it's cool we have some type of martial arts in our backgrounds."
They nodded.
"Tommy, are you really into martial arts?" Jason had to ask. Tommy nodded. "You don't seem like it, you seem like the religious type."
"I am." He admitted. They looked at him. "I'm 100% Catholic, and I have no problem with it. It's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember." He saw the uncomfortable looks on their faces. "But, by no means am I the type to force or preach it to everyone."
Rocky blew out a breath. "Thank goodness, so you aren't going to tell me to repent, love Jesus, and pray every night and all that mumbo jumbo?" He wondered.
"Nothing like that." Tommy answered.
"That's cool." Conner observed. He was beginning to like his roommates.
"What are your majors?" Jason questioned as he took a bite of his pizza.
"Business." Rocky declared. He got up and went to throw his trash away.
Conner did the same. "Physical Education and Music." He replied.
"Paleontology." Tommy said. He was still eating.
"Mine is EMT." Jason informed. "I think it's nice we are all doing something different."
"I gotta head out." Conner got up.
"Where are you going?" Rocky asked.
"I got soccer practice. I'm the captain of the school's soccer team." Conner began to walk away, but stopped. "Maybe later we can all spar."
"I'd like that." Tommy piped up. Jason and Rocky nodded as well. He watched as Conner began to jog away.
"We should head back to the dorm." Jason recommended. He got up. Rocky and Tommy followed.
They all began to walk out. Tommy was in front of Jason and Rocky. He turned his head to look at them. "We should get some rest before we-" He accidently walked right into someone. He felt his shirt get wet. He looked at the person he bumped into, and he turned really red. That wasn't the only thing red. Her shirt was as well, her white shirt.
Rocky and Jason started to laugh at Tommy.
"I am so, so, so sorry." Tommy quickly apologized to her. He saw her white shirt was now plastered with a red drink. Not to mention, her nipples were becoming erect. He looked down. You can't look at that! He kept repeating in his head. He then began a prayer of repentance. Dear Lord, I pray that you will not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Please think of me according to Your mercy and for Your goodness' sake, O LORD. Lord I turn from all of those sins that I committed and I ask for Your help in washing the memory and thoughts of that sin completely from my mind. Please restore me to faithful obedience to Your Word, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit anew, so that I may keep Your commands all the days of my life
She laughed. "It's quite alright." Her Australian accent rang through his ears. "I mean, it's not every day a person bumps into you, and I end up spilling my Gatorade on me." She smiled at him. She noticed he was looking down. "Are you okay?"
"He's fine." Rocky interjected. He made Tommy look up. For a guy with olive skin, Tommy surely was as red as a fire engine truck.
Jason was smiling at the little exchange. He figured Tommy must be a virgin as well. He couldn't wait to tell the story to Conner.
"I'm Katherine, but you can call me Kat." She held out her hand for Tommy. She saw he wasn't going to take it and retracted her hand.
Rocky took it for him. "He's just very shy." He tried to cover up for him. He leaned into Tommy's ear. "Why don't you talk to her?" He whispered. He looked at Kat again, and she was a hot.
Tommy had just finished his prayer. His attention was turned to Rocky "How can I talk to her when I spilled red juice on her shirt?" He nervously questioned. And her nipples are pointing out. Did I just say nipple? He scolded himself.
"Nice to meet you, Kat." Jason took the initiative. He held out his hand, and Kat shook it. "I'm Jason, this is Rocky, and our friend looking down is, Tommy."
"Nice to meet you all." She kept smiling. She hoped Tommy would look at her, but she saw he was still in the same position. "Well, it's awfully nippy out here." She motioned her top. "I should change. Maybe I'll see you guys around, bye!" She cheerfully walked off.
Once she was gone, Rocky and Jason pushed Tommy. That caused Tommy to stagger a bit.
"Why the hell didn't you talk to her?" Rocky nudged him. "Coño (pussy.)" He murmured.
Tommy looked up. "Even if I don't speak Spanish, I'm pretty sure you called me a curse word. I don't appreciate that!" He told him. They began walking back to their dorm. He needed to change his shirt.
"I still think you should've talked to her." Jason voiced, and Rocky nodded his head like a banshee.
"I don't know." Tommy groaned. "I'm not good with girls, and I would've just stuttered more than anything."
Rocky examined Tommy. "You aren't a bad looking guy. If I was a girl, I'd do you." He nonchalantly said. Jason gave a disgusted expression like Tommy did. "Hey, I'm very much a man who loves women, if you need to know, I'll call up Aisha."
"Nah, I'm good." Jason denied him and shook his head. "Anyways, Tommy, next time you get a girl coming your way, just go with the flow. I'm telling you it's not bad to date a girl."
"This sounds like peer pressure." Tommy observed.
Rocky and Jason laughed.
"Man, who did you grow up with the Pope?" Rocky questioned. He shook his head. Tommy unlocked the door to the dorm. "Bro, going out with a girl is not a sin."
"Yeah, going out with a girl is like a rite of passage." Jason informed. He and Rocky went to sit on the couches. He saw Tommy needed to change his shirt. "You should give it a try. Maybe, that blonde will give you another chance. She was staring at you!" He said loud enough for Tommy to hear him.
"I'll think about it!" Tommy yelled back. I've thought about it, and I'm done. I will never ask her or any girl out. He headed back to the living room with a clean shirt.

An hour later. . .
Dorm A102
Conner had just gotten out of practice. He was really tired, but he knew he had a sparring session to do with his new friends. He walked into the dorm. "What's up?" He inquired as he got in.
Rocky laughed. "Man, you missed it. Tommy made a total ass of himself in front of some hot chick." He described. Tommy buried his head into his hands.
"What happened?" Conner went to the ottoman. Jason told him what happened. "You just let an opportunity like that pass?" He couldn't believe it.
Tommy looked up. "You guys make it sound like it's so easy to ask out a girl!" Tommy gruffly said. He shook his head. "It's not easy." I've never asked out a girl though.
As if Jason could read minds, he spoke up on the matter. "Well, you'll never know if you don't try." He told him. "Come on, this is college. It's time to let loose."
"Come on, Tommy." Conner urged him. "Carpe Diem." All three of his roommates looked at him. "Seize the day! Get out there and live!"
"Are you a motivational speaker on the side?" Tommy asked Conner.
"Just take his advice." Rocky said.
"I don't know about you guys, but I am definitely read to spar." Jason got up. He distracted everyone from Tommy's nonexistent love life. "Let's head out. School officially starts in two days, and I am not even trying to think about it too much."
Conner nodded. "I need a Red Bull." He was kind of tired. "I can still whoop ass though."
"Like to see you try!" Rocky taunted.
Tommy had to laugh. His roommates were an odd bunch, but they were growing on him . He went to get ready for the afternoon sparring session, but he need to ask Conner about the churches out here.
A/N: The first three chapters will probably give insight to this Tommy's character. This fic is mostly centered around him, so his thoughts are the only ones presented.
A/N: And, what do you think so far?
