Chapter One "The Begining Of This World"

"Oh my God! Phil I can't believe we're here!" Keely yelled jumping up and down as they walked to their dorms

"I know, NYU. Amazing huh?" Phil said looking at his map then up at the doors looking for his number.

"Here I am… where is yours…" Phil said as he unlocked the door to him dorm.

"Right here." Keely said opening the door next to him.

"How convenient." Phil said walking into his dorm. He threw his bags on his bed and sat down by the window. Keely did the same until she heard some on open her door.

"Hi, is this 256?" A blonde girl asked.

"Yea. I'm Keely, I guess we're roomies." Keely said sticking out her hand.

"I'm Elizabeth." The girl replied shaking Keely's hand.

"Hey. I'm gonna go get a bite to eat. Wanna come with?" Keely said gabbing her purse and keys.

"Nah, I'm gonna finish packing. I'll catch up with you later." Elizabeth replied opening up a Louis Vuttion trunk… almost identical to Keely's.

"Kay. See ya." Keely said walking into Phil's dorm.

"He Keel. This is Jessie." Phil said pointing to a tall blond boy with saggy blonde hair.

"Hey I'm Keely." Keely said Looking up at him

"Jessie." Jessie replied

"So you ready to go?" Phil asked grabbing his wallet and shoving it into the back pocket of his jeans.

"Yea. See ya Jessie." Keely said over her shoulder.

xXXx

"You have a new roommate or am I alone in this particular boat?" Phil said over a plate of spaghetti.

"No… Elizabeth. She has a Vuttion trunk like mine…" Keely said.

"Fascinating." Phil said with a mouthful of spaghetti.

"Shut up." Keely joked twirling her fork in her plate of spaghetti.

"What does she look like?" Phil asked coolly.

"Dirty blonde hair, light blue-green eyes, about my height and has great taste in clothes." Keely said.

"Maybe me and Jessie can come over and met up with you two. After all, she could be the nest Tia." Phil shrugged.

"True. Let's go." Keely said impatiently at the idea.

"Okay, okay. The waiter is coming over here anyways." Phil said handing the waiter a fifty and waited for his change. After about 10 minutes of impatient waiting Phil and Keely made their way back to NYU.

xXXx

"Her Jessie… do you want to go over to the girl's dorms?" Phil asked throwing his wallet back onto the dresser.

"Sure dude." Jessie replied bouncing up from beanbag chair not bothering to turn off Halo 2.

"Hey Keel." Phil said walking through the door.

"Hey Phil, this is Elizabeth." Keely said gesturing to the smiling blonde behind her. Hey eyes where bright and her cheeks had slight dimples in them. Phil looked at her and had to admit she was beautiful.

"Hey Phil. Hey Jes! I didn't know you were going to NYU! I thought you were going to Tennessee!" Elizabeth said rushing over to him and giving him a hug.

"I thought you were going to LA!" Jessie replied into her neck

"I thought so too but turns out they filled up the dorms. What about you? What's your reason against going to Tennessee."

"My mom didn't want me at the same school as Cory." Jessie said rolling his eyes.

"How's Jordan?" Elizabeth asked eager to hear. She acted as if she hadn't seen him in years instead of the eight weeks Jessie had spent visiting his dad and brother.

"Starting kindergarten." Jessie said pointing to a naked picture lying beside the desk, yet to be put in a frame.

"She's gotten so tall." Elizabeth said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You know each other?" Keely asked looking at the two.

"Yea, best friends for twelve years now." Beth said pushing Jessie playfully.

"And now neighbors." Jessie joked.

"Ahhh." Phil said nodding.

"Same classes for twelve years too." Jessie added rubbing his chin now noticing the pattern. Elizabeth laughed as her attention diverted to her pink phone.

"Hold on it's Jay," Elizabeth said flipping her phone open with her thumb. "Hey Jayyyyyy! Busy? Kinda. 256. Toodles.' Elizabeth said flipping her phone closed and holding three fingers, then two, then one then she flicked here wrist toward the door. Another blonde with shorter hair ran in and hugged both of the blondes.

"Ohmygod! You both are here?" Jalyn said jumping up and down

"Yea." Jessie and Elizabeth said in unison.

"And those two are…" Jalyn said.

"Right, Jalyn meet Phil and Keely, Keely and Phil meet Jalyn, the blondest of the blondes." Jessie said applauding sarcastically as Jalyn hit him in the arm.

"Ow!" Jessie said as Jalyn shook hands.

"Hey." Jalyn said.

"Feel out numbered." Phil said looking at the room full of blondes.

"I don't think you will in a minute. I just TXT'ed Kay and she said she'll be over in three… two one." Elizabeth said as a pencil thin girl walked into the room.

"Hey! Jes, Jay, B…. people I don't know." Kaylyn said hugging everyone but Phil and Keely.

"Here we go again, Kaylyn meet Phil and Keely, Keely and Phil meet Kaylyn the hottest of the praying mantis." Jessie joked. Kaylyn punched him in the arm and shook hand with Phil and Keely.

"Now I feel better." Phil said now that another brunette had entered the new clique.

"I'm gonna kick Nathan's ass for teaching you that." Kaylyn said

"I'll go tell him…" Jessie said but Elizabeth kept a firm arm on him.

"Not happening dude." Elizabeth said.

"So, anyone else on the guest list?" Keely asked looking at her newly filled dorm room.

"Yea… Nathan, Brandon and Caleb are coming over for a little game." Jessie said holding up an empty Budweiser bottle. Elizabeth gave him a dirty look.

"No I don't drink! I fond it outside." Jessie said. As if he could read Elizabeth's mind.

"Kay, lets play." Elizabeth said.

"I'm in, Kay?" Jalyn asked sitting beside Elizabeth.

"Yea." Kaylyn said sitting beside Jessie.

"Just to get this on the table, I go by Beth." Elizabeth said spinning the bottle.

"Oh. Thanks for the heads up." Keely said sitting across from Phil, watching the bottle turn and point to Jessie.

"Pucker up Blondie." Jessie said leaning across the table and kissing Beth lightly on the lips. Keely could tell by the way they both lit up when their lips met they liked each other.

"I always knew you two would be together." A short dark haired guy said sitting next to Beth followed by a guy who looked just like Napoleon Dynamite and a jock like short blonde guy.

"We'll take this Jes." Beth said putting a finger on Jessie's lips. "Jay, you starts with Nathan and Kay take care of Caleb. I'll get Brandon." Beth said removing her finger.

"Gotcha. First up we have the tallest of them all: Nathan Chanler, tallest of the brunettes." Jalyn said pointing to the Napoleon reincarnation.

"Now we have Caleb, the shortest of the short." Kaylyn said pointing to the short dark haired guy.

"Last but not least, Brandon Bowers. The umpa-lumpa in mandles." Beth said pointing to the jock.

"Hey." Phil and Keely said shaking hands.

"Back to the game." Keely said taking the bottle from Jessie. It spun and spun until it pointed to Phil. She kissed him gently then backed away blushing a bit then looking down at her left hand. Even if they were married, she couldn't believe he could still make her feel this way.

"By the way, first kiss can be short but after that…" Jessie said pointing to the closest with a devilish grin. "You get the point." Jessie passed the bottle over to Caleb who got Jalyn.

xXXx

Phil spun the bottle again and prayed it landed on Keely. It did… almost. It landed to Beth who was sitting next to her. Beth blushed as Phil took her hand and walked over to the closet. Keely looked down at her ring again and felt no jealousy, he was married, it was college, Beth was a nice girl, she wasn't one to take people's men away. Plus she already had an eye for Jessie.

"Ready?" Phil asked.

"Yea…" Beth said leaning forward in the dark closest and colliding g with his lips. Both were relived. No sparks, Phil would admit Beth was beautiful and Beth could say without a doubt that Phil was adorable but they were happy being friends, each knowing the other loved some one else. They knew they could both walk out with their dignity. Beth broke away and walked out with Phil following.

"Next in line…" Jessie said rolling the bottle over to Keely. She spun the bottle and prayed it landed on Phil… Please, please, nooo! Wait Yes! Keely thought as the bottle moved from Brandon to Phil. Phil stood up again and pulled Keely into the small closet, but before Keely would let him kiss her she had to ask,

"Anything?" Keely asked.

"Nothing." Phil said kicking the door telling Jessie to start the timer. They only had four minutes to get it all out. Phil Pushed up against Keely until their lips collided. Keely parted her lips and continued to kiss Phil as he pushed her against the wall gently moving down to her neck quickly before the timer could go off. Keely giggled and ran her fingers up the back of his shirt. Ding!

"Ughhh…" Phil said his had dropping in disappointment. Keely laughed and pullet him out.

"We've had a vote and seeing as how you two seem to be having more fun with this, we're gonna play Truth or Dare edition. Same concept but instead of kissing you do a do a dare or answer a truth. Nothing that is said or done leaves this dorm. Got it?" Jessie said looking at each out through random strands of blonde hair.

"Yea, yea now let's do it to it!" Caleb shouted grabbing the bottle from Jessie and spinning it and watching it land on Kaylyn.

"Truth or Dare?" Caleb asked, his brain working overtime to come up with the perfect ploy.

"Dare." Kaylyn said looking Caleb straight in the eye.

"Alright Kaylyn I dare you two… switch shirts with Jalyn." Caleb said.

"Do we get…" Kaylyn tried to say pointing to the closet.

"Nope. Right here right now, no closet. At all." Jessie said with another evil grin.

"Alright…" Jalyn said pulling the NYU tee she had just bought over her head revealing her nude bra, as Kaylyn did he same revealing her white push up bra. Kaylyn handed Jalyn the beater she was wearing and Jalyn handed her the NYU tee. The pulled each other's shirts on and laughed. Caleb passed the bottle to Kaylyn who landed on Brandon.

"I dare you… to wear Beth's bra." Kaylyn said.

"Do I get a choice?" Brandon asked.

"No." Kaylyn said. Beth giggled and threw Brandon the frilliest, pinkest bra she could find. Brandon pulled off his shirt and clasped the bra onto him shaking his head. Brandon grabbed the bottle and threw it over to Keely.

"I'm out. Unlike you, I have class." Brandon said taking off the bra and throwing it back to Beth who caught it without looking up from a text message she was reading.

"Spin it girl!" Jalyn said. Keely laughed as the bottle spun, pointing at Phil.

"Truth or dare?" Keely said. Phil thought about the choices, the guys would think he was scared if he said truth but he was scared about what Keely could do...

"Dare." Phil said deciding to suck it up.

"Alright, I dare you to play the rest of the game in your boxers." Keely said, her lips curving into a smile from the applause the other girl gave her. Phil stood up and pulled his shirt off, soon followed by his pants. Keely kept a straight face while all the other girls laughed and shook their heads.

"Alright Keely, you have to play in you're underwear." Phil said with a satisfied grin on his face. Keely rolled her eyes as she tugged off her shirt and jeans.

"Well I see this party it over, so lets bounce, leave these two love birds alone." Jessie said as Nathan, Caleb, Beth, Jalyn and Kaylyn followed him.

"By the way we have a meeting at nine in the theater. If you need us we'll be shopping and they'll be partying." Jalyn said tugging everyone out. Phil laughed as he walked over to Keely pushing her onto the bed. Keely kissed him hard moving from his lips to his cheek to the point of his chin and down to his neck. Phil's fingers intertwined with Keely's hair pushing her body closer. It was going to be a long day tomorrow.

xXXx

"Oh my God." Keely said sitting up from her bed. She looked down and saw Phil sleeping peacefully. She looked over at the alarm clock on her bed stand. It was only 6:30. She could go back to sleep for another hour or so. She laid back down in Phil's arms just as her cell phone's alarm went off.

"Shut up." Keely said in disbelief. She flipped open her phone… 8:30…

"What?" Phil said drowsily wiping the sleep from his eyes.

"Get up and get dressed!" Keely said pulling off her nightshirt and boy shorts and throwing on ripped jeans and a pink and black NYU shirt. Phil had a black NYU shirt and jeans with black Nike Shox. Keely slid on a pair of white ballerina flats and walked out the door into Phil's dorm. Phil was in the bathroom so Keely sat down on Jessie's beanbag not noticing Jessie and Beth laying on Jessie's bad… making out.

"Finally!" Keely whispered walking over to the door and knocking on it. Jessie and Beth pulled away as they looked up at Keely.

"Oh hey Keely, Phil is in the bathroom." Jessie said turning a deep shade of pink.

"Thanks." Keely said walking out into the hall.

"Hey Keels." Phil said kissing her cheek. Jessie and Beth followed behind

"Kaylyn, Jalyn, Brandon, Nathan and Caleb are going to meet us at the theater entrance." Jessie said flipping his phone shut after talking to one of the five

"Kay." Keely said smiling. After a few minute walk, and a quick stop at the on campus Starbucks, they finally got to the theater.

"Quiet down! Quiet down!" a black haired woman yelled into a microphone, finally getting everyone's attention. "Thank you. Welcome to NYU! I know some of you have chosen broadcasting for your career, but in order to take it, you have to take theater and singing. Don't ask me why, it's just the rules. So for anyone interested in broadcast journalism, I need to see you on the stage." The woman said turning off the mic and setting it on the wooden bar stool waiting for everyone to file onto the stage. Beth, Phil and Keely stood up and walked onto the stage.

"Okay, we need you to take a theater class, you have a choice between beginner and advanced. Same goes with the singing. Sign ups arte over there." The woman said after turning off her mic and pointing her pen to another black haired woman holding a clipboard.

"What are you two doing?" Beth asked.

"I'm doing advanced which means Phil's doing advanced. How about you?" Keely replied.

"Seeing as how I only know you two… advanced." Beth laughed. They all walked over to the black haired woman and stood in line behind a mass of other people waiting to give the woman their names and class choice. They finally got to the front of the line and went through the same procedure. Name, choice, preference… blah, blah, blah. Keely, Phil and Beth all returned to the dorms where everyone else was waiting with a karaoke machine.

"Alright… since you all signed up for singing, we wanna hear if you are any good." Jessie said handing a mic to each member of the trio.

"Beth sings really good Jes." Jalyn said sipping a smoothie.

"Wouldn't know, never heard her." Jessie replied coolly while sitting on the comfortable leather couch freshly unpacked. "But if she's as good as you say, she's going last. Phil and Keely are up." Jessie said. Keely grabbed her guitar and found her mic stand.

"Protesting Me?" she asked looking up from trying to find a pick.

"Yea." Phil said. Keely started playing and both began.

"You, You're always there for me
When I need you most
Day and night you're by my side
Protecting me
When I feel like crashing down
You seem to be around
There you are
You're not that far cause

Whenever, where ever baby
You'll protect me
No matter what
Hold me tight with all your might And you'll never let me go
Protecting me

You listen to me when
I speak out loud and you
You know when my hearts been bent
When my life's tumbling around
You take me off the ground
You tell me everything's ok

Whenever, where ever baby
You'll protect me
No matter what
Hold me tight with all your might You'll never let me go

You'll never let me go
You'll never let me go
You'll never let me go

When its my turn
To help you out
I gladly lift you up without a doubt

Whenever, where ever baby
You'll protect me
No matter what
Hold me tight with all your might You'll never let me go (Let me go)

Whenever, where ever baby
I'll protect you
No matter what
Hold you tight, with all my might
And I'll never let you go (Let you go)

You, you're always there for me
When I need you most
Day and night you're by my side
Protecting me
Protecting me" Keely finished strumming her guitar and the whole room applauded.

"Not bad." Jessie said. "Guess who's up next!" Jessie looked at Beth through his shaggy blonde hair.

"Fine! I'll sing ah cappela (sp?). No big." Beth said holding up the mic.

"Don't know where you are, all I know is how I feel.

Don't know if you feel the same or if this is real

I would cry a thousand tears just tears just to make you see

I could never go on without you here with me

I'll stay in the hard times, holding you to the sky

I'll always be there, watching over at night

I'll keep my heart, locked up until I know

You and me, is the way I want to go

Don't know if I can, get the strength to tell

What if you don't feel the same, I'm by myself

I will make sure you know, I'll never leave

Cause I could never go on, knowing you aren't with me

I'll stay in the hard times, holding you to the sky

I'll always be there, watching over at night

I'll keep my heart, locked up until I know

You and me, is the way I want to go

Is what I feel real or a fantasy?

Do I see the reality of you and me?

Or is this a game in my mind?

What about the trust we had?

Will it all go bad?

Am I running out of time?

I'll stay in the hard times, holding you to the sky

I'll always be there, watching over at night

I'll keep my heart, locked up until I know

You and me, is the way I want to go

I'll stay through the thunder, hold you close

You'll never be alone I'll never let go

I'll keep my heart locked up until I know

You and me,

You and me, is the way to go" Beth sang. Jessie's jaw dropped as Jalyn whispered in his ear.

"Told ya."

xXXx

wow…. eight pages! Lol. Long first chapter! Sorry it took so long but I had to take a three-hour break to watch my dad and his buddies play donkey ball. For anyone who doesn't know that's where you play basketball… on a donkey. If you want the full detail send me a message I'd be happy to explain. Now for the songs. Protecting Me is by Aly and Aj. The other song You and Me was written by me. Hope you liked it!
