Today was the day when Sidney Prescott, Tessa Riley and Randy Meeks would be leaving Woodsboro together and moving to Windsor to join the college there.
Sidney was taking drama, Randy and Tessa were taking film theory.
"Are you about ready Tess?" Dewey shouted from downstairs. He was going to take the three of them to the airport.
"Yeah" Tess said coming down the stairs with bags.
Dewey took her bags to the car and put them in the boot. He still had a limp.
Mrs Riley had tears in her eyes "You be safe Tess".
"Of course I will be mom" Tess smiled hugging her mother tight.
"I love you Tess." Her mother said.
" I love you too" Tess said.
"Are you definitely sure this is what you want?" Her mother then asked.
"Yes I'm sure. It'll be great. Me, Sid and Randy" Tess said.
" And you be good to that young man. He loves you" her mother said.
" I know mom I'm just not ready to be with anyone yet. This is me time. He knows it and he's been great about the whole thing" Tess said.
"Just tread carefully hon" her mother said.
"I really do love him" Tessa said truthfully.
Let's get going. We gotta get Sid and Randy" Dewey said coming back in the lounge.
"Ok Dewey. Bye mom. I'll ring when we arrive" she said hugging and kissing her mother.
"Safe flight sweetheart" Mrs Riley said.
Tess got in the car with Dewey.
"We'll get Randy first, he's closer" Dewey said starting the car.
"OK Dew" She said getting in the passenger seat next to him.
They drove off and pulled up outside Randy's house.
"I'll go Dew. I wanna talk to Martha and his mom" She said opening the car door.
"Ok Tess. Don't be long though, you guys don't wanna miss your flight" Dewey said keeping the car engine running.
Tess approached the front door and took a breath and knocked on the door.
Martha answered the door "Hey Tess! He's upstairs!" She said with excitement. Tess and Martha had always got on together as they both shared the same love of scary movies. Martha would often join Tess and Randy during their movie marathons.
Tess stepped inside the house giving Martha a hug. "How's school?" Tess asked her.
"It's OK" Martha smiled. "Rand!! It's Tess!!" Martha then shouted at the bottom of the stairs.
"I'll be down in a min!" Randy shouted from his room.
"I think it's so need that you are both going to study films at college. I wish I could go. It beats school" Martha said.
"Maybe you can join us when you graduate next year?" Tess suggested.
"Yeah, maybe" Martha smiled.
"Where's your mom?" Tess asked.
"She's out in the garden at the moment. I'll go and get her" Martha said.
"Ok" Tess said.
Tess stood alone in the house. She could hear Randy moving about upstairs. Then she heard his bedroom door go and he came down with his bags. His face lit up when he saw her "Hey Tess" He smiled as he put his bags down to put his arms around her in a warm embrace.
They then broke apart "You all set Rand?" She asked smiling.
"I think so. How about you?" He asked unable to take his eyes off her.
"I think so too" She said.
The backdoor then opened and Martha and Mrs Meeks walked. Mrs Meeks smiled to see Tess "Hi Tessa how are you sweetheart?" She asked giving her a hug.
"I'm ok Mrs Meeks. How are you?" Tessa asked.
"I'm well. I'm so proud of Randy but sad he's leaving" Mrs Meeks said.
"We'll be back mom" Randy said putting his arm around his mother's back.
"I know you will Randy. Can I talk to Tess alone for a minute please?" She said.
Randy and Martha took his bags out to the car and chatted to Dewey.
"Is everything ok Mrs Meeks?" Tessa asked puzzled.
"Everything is fine dear. I just want to know what is going on between you two. He won't tell me anything" Mrs Meeks said.
"We're taking a break for a bit" Tess answered.
"So are you together?" She then asked.
"No we're not. I need a break from this thing between us" Tess replied.
"I see. Please don't break his heart Tess. He adores you and loves you so much. Whenever your name is mentioned his face lights up and he has such sparkle in his eyes" Mrs Meeks said.
"I don't ever intend to hurt him Mrs Meeks. I really do love him. It's just wth everything that happened with Tatum, and I thinking Randy was responsible I'm just not in the best place for a serious relationship, and I know that is what he wants. He wants a proper relationship, maybe even settle down after college and I'm not in the right place. But I said I'll know when I am. College will help. Just getting away from here will help" Tess said trying to reassure her. "I love your son so much Mrs Meeks, and one day I hope to be a member of your family".
"Thank You Tess. That has made me feel a lot happier" She smiled giving Tess another hug "You better get going".
They both stood up "Yep we had".
Tess and Mrs Meeks walked to the car. Dewey and Mrs Meeks had a warm hello then Randy and Tess got in the backseats together and they drove off leaving Martha and Mrs Meeks.
They then drove to Sidney's house.
Tess and Randy got out of the car and knocked on her door. "Hey Sid!!" They both said.
"Hey guys!" Sidney said excited. Since the murders Sidney had dramatically changed her look. She had cut her hair down to her chin. Tess was considering changing hers too.
Randy grabbed her bags whilst Sidney said goodbye to her father Neil. He had recovered from his traumatic kidnapping.
They all got back into the car and Dewey dropped them all off at the airport. The flight was around five hours and they then took a cab to Windsor College.
When they arrived, Randy paid the driver and they carried their bags to main reception.
"Hello, I'm Randall Meeks, and this is Tessa Riley and Sidney Prescott. We are just starting here" Randy smiled at the receptionist.
"I'll just find your names and room numbers on my computer" She smiled typing them in on the computer.
She then handed them keys and room numbers.
"Shame we aren't sharing a room" groaned Randy.
"We can still hang out Rand" She smiled.
He put his arm around her "I know Tess".
"I wonder what our roommates are like" Pondered Sidney.
"Hopefully nice" Smiled Tess.
They came to Sidney's room and she knocked on the door then opened the door. Sat down at a table writing notes was a young black girl about Sidney's age. The girl stood up and smiled "Hi I'm Hallie McDaniel, you must be Sidney Prescott"
"Yes I am. It's lovely to meet you" Sidney said offering her hand out to shake which Hallie returned "And these are my two friends Tess and Randy".
Hallie was amoured by Randy "Hey" She smiled.
"Hey" Randy said back ignoring her flirty looks.
"It's great to meet you Tess" Hallie smiled.
"And you" Tess replied.
"Well we best be off" Randy said walking towards the door.
"We'll catch you later Sid. Bye Hallie" Tess said.
They left the two new roommates to get aquainted.
They carried on trying to find Sid's room.
"Seriously where is my room? It's not like I even know my roommate's name?" She asked Randy in frustation.
"What's your room number?" Asked a guy's voice from behind her.
She turned round to see a young guy maybe 3 or 4 years older than her. He had dark brown spiky hair and bright eyes.
"Oh hi" She smiled at the young man. Randy wasn't amused "I'm in room 342" she answered.
"I know where it is. It's a few doors down from me. Here, let me show you" he smiled at Tess.
"Thanks" she said. "Are you alright to find your room Rand?" She then turned round to face Randy who glared.
"Yeah I'll manage. See you Tess" he said miffed walking away he then quickly turned round to watch Tess and this guy walk in the opposite direction.
Randy soon found his room and was sharing with a guy named Paul. Who was a typical jerk and the opposite of Randy.
"So what are you studying?" The guy asked making conversation.
"I'm doing film theory with Randy" she smiled.
"So am I!!" The guy exclaimed "Maybe we can become friends?" he then asked.
"I'd like that" she said "I'm Tessa Riley".
"Oh excuse me, I'm Mickey Alteri. It's lovely to meet you" he said with a glint in his eye. "Was that your boyfriend before?" he asked.
"Uhh.. no" she said not wanting to explain the situation "We're just friends".
"So you're single then?" he asked hoping to get to know her more. And what he had seen so far he really liked.
"Yes I am" Tess stated as they walked along the corridor.
"Me too" he said.
They walked along in silence until Mickey pointed out her room "Here you go, room 342" he asked knocking on the door for her.
A pretty blonde girl answered "Oh hey Mick" she smiled warmly.
"Hey Cici, I was just showing your new roommate where she needed to go" Mickey smiled.
"Ahh your Tessa. Hi I'm Cici Cooper. It's nice to meet you" Cici smiled.
"Hi Cici" Tess said.
"Well I better be off. See you both in class" Mickey smiled leaving the two girls in the doorway.
"Thanks Mickey" Tess shouted to him.
"Well come in Tessa" Cici said showing her in.
Tessa walked in the dorm room. It was painted purple which was Cici's favourite colour.
"I love the colour of the room" Tess smiled admiring the room.
"Thanks, my daddy paid for the work" Cici said.
Tess went over to her side of the room putting the bags down on the bed.
"So what are you studying?" Cici asked sitting down on her sofa.
"I'm doing film theory with my friend Randy" Tess said.
Cici gasped "Randy as in Randy Meeks?".
"Yes that's him" Tess said confused.
"Oh sorry I just remember hearing about him in the paper after the murders at Woodsboro. I saw his picture in the paper and I thought he was adorable. My god, he's here and he's a friend of yours! Do you think you could put a good word in for me if he's single of course" Cici smiled hopeful.
"Uhhh" She said not knowing what to say instead she decided to just say "I'll introduce you".
"I think Mickey likes you" Cici said with a smirk.
"Whaa" Tess said.
"He was totally checking you out Tess!" she exclaimed "He did have a crush on Hallie but I think he got over that when she kept turning him down. What do you think?" Cici asked.
"Oh I don't know. I'm not really dating at the moment" Tess said.
"Why?" Cici asked.
"My sister died and I went through a harrowing time. At the moment I just want to get my life back on track" Tess stated.
"I get it" Cici gave her a comforting smile. "Want a tour?" she then asked.
"Sure, in a bit when I've unpacked" Tess said opening her bags up and placing clothes away.
Tessa unpacked her stuff. And when she had done her and Cici went on a tour and showed her around the campus.
They then went into the cafeteria for lunch. Tess ordered fries and a hamburger and a can of Pepsi and Cici ordered a salad as she was watching her figure.
"Hey there's Micky" Cici exclaimed. Tess turned round and smiled at him as he joined their table.
"Hey girls" he smiled sitting next to Tess rather than Cici. Cici gave him a smirk.
"Hi Mickey" Tess said shyly.
"How are you finding things?" Micky asked her.
"It's been great. Cici showed me around" Tessa smiled.
"Ready for your first lesson later?" Mickey asked.
"Definitely. Excuse me for a few minutes whilst I see if Randy is in here" Tess said standing up leaving just Mickey and Cici at the table.
"Sooooo" Cici began.
"What?" Mickey asked.
"Don't deny it" Cici smirked.
"Deny what?" He asked.
"You like Tess don't you?" She asked him.
"Nooo" he scoffed in denial.
"Mickey, I can see it in your face!!" Cici exclaimed enjoying winding him up.
"She's pretty I'll give you that but I don't think she wants a relationship" Mickey said.
"She's been through a tough patch. Give her time. Oh did you know she's friends with Randy Meeks?" Cici asked.
"Yes, that's the guy she arrived with. We're all in the same class" Mickey stated.
"I know!! I've asked her to put in a good word for me" Cici said.
"And why would she do that?" Mickey asked.
"Because he's fucking cute!" Cici exclaimed.
"Aren't you dating Ted?" Mickey asked.
"We're just friends with benefits" Cici laughed eating her salad.
Tessa walked to the queue and found Randy waiting to pay for his food standing and talking to a guy.
"Hey Rand" Tess smiled.
"Oh hey Tess" he said not happily like his usual self.
"Hi I'm Paul. I'm Randy's roommate. You must be Tessa. He's told me all about you. A little too much" Paul smiled also amoured by her beauty.
"It's nice to meet you"Tess smiled. "You're quiet Rand" she observed.
"I'm fine" he said sharply.
"Woah sorry I spoke" Tess said running off.
"Sorry Tess!" Randy exclaimed.
But she ran away not wanting to speak to him.
"What's wrong Tess?" Mickey asked noticing she seemed tense.
"It's nothing" Tess dismissed him.
Tessa saw Randy and Paul sit at a table. She could see him glancing over at Mickey with a jealous look.
Tess said in her head "He's jealous of Mickey".
A little later Sidney came over to their table with a young man called Derek who was a friend of Hallie's.
"Oh hey Derek" Mickey said.
"Hi Mick, Hi Cici. You must be Tessa. Sid has told me about you" said Derek who was a hardworking student and wanted to be a doctor.
"It's nice to meet you Derek" Smiled Tessa. He was defintely handsome. Sidney could do a lot worse.
Cici, Mickey, Tessa, Sidney, Hallie and Derek were sat at the table getting to know each other and were laughing and joking. Randy could only look on with jealously at the girl he loved.
After Cici, Mickey, Tessa and Randy had their first film theory lesson together Tessa grabbed hold of Randy.
"We need to talk" She said seriously.
"Sure. Let's go into town and explore and we can talk" Randy smiled.
They found a restaurant and they ordered dinner in which Randy paid for.
They sat down with their burger and fries.
"What's going on Randy?" She asked chewing a frie.
"It's nothing Tess" he said obviously lying.
"Don't lie to me Rand" She stated.
"Ok fine, I fear I will loose you to Mickey" Randy said.
"Don't be silly! He's just a friend. I don't like him like that" she said truthfully.
"Well he certainly seems to like you Tess!" Randy exclaimed.
"So?" She asked.
"I'm scared I'll lose you. If it isn't him it will be someone else" Randy said looking her in the eyes.
"I told you. I just want to make friends and deal with my issues and then I want us to be together" She said firmly.
"I know you did but sometimes things change,people change. I don't want us to drift. You have no idea how much it hurt to see you all together at lunch" Randy said.
"You and Paul could have joined us" Tess said.
"I know. Ah I'm just a fool" Randy said.
"You're not. And you have every right to have fears, everyone does. But i promise I want you and noone else. This was the whole point of coming here to make new friends and move on" Tess said.
"Just promise we won't fall apart" Randy said.
"We won't" she said planting a kiss on his cheek.
They finished up their dinner both happy to have cleared the air between them.
It did not take long for Sidney and Derek to begin a relationship together. And the more time Mickey and Tessa spent together Mickey realised he really liked her so he was going to ask her out.
"Tess? Can I grab you for a minute?" he asked in the corridor as she was walking with Cici.
"Sure" Tess smiled.
Cici carried on by herself whilst Mickey and Tess found somewhere to sit together.
"What's up Mick?" she asked.
"I know we have only known each other for like two months but I really, really like you. Can I take you out for coffee?" He asked nervously.
" Yeah sure" she smiled not thinking much of it. Sure, he liked her but it didn't have to mean anything. After all it was just two friends going for coffee.
A few days later Tess and Mickey left the campus and walked together chatting and laughing "What's your favourite movie Tess? It's so stupid, we've known each other for two months and I haven't asked".
"Halloween" She stated.
"Great choice" he said.
"What's yours?" She asked.
"Anything by James Cameron. I like Terminator a lot" He stated.
"Did you know he's bringing out a movie on Titanic?" She asked.
"Yeah I did. It's supposed to be really good. The sinking is supposed to be really graphic. Hey ,maybe we could go and see it together?" Mickey suggested.
"I'd like that" she smiled.
He looked at her smiling "I can't wait".
They arrived at the coffee shop and Mickey held the door open for her "Thanks" she said.
They sat down at a table.
"What would you like? My treat" Mickey said getting his wallet out of his trouser pocket.
She looked at the menu and decided "Can I have a non- fat latte and a chocolate muffin please?".
"Sure you can" he smiled at her walking towards the till.
A few minutes later he returned with her drink and muffin. He had a cappucino and a chocolate muffin.
"Would you like to come to my room later and watch a movie with me? I can order pizza" Mickey asked.
"Sure that would be nice. Since we came here me and Randy never do that anymore. We used to do it all the time" Tess said with sadness since her and Randy started spending less and less time together.
"Maybe he isn't that interested anymore?" Mickey suggested.
"Sad to say I think you may be right" Tess said.
"You've got me. I'll always be there for you. Anytime of the day or night" Mickey said sipping his drink.
"Thanks Mick. Can I be honest about me and Randy?" She asked nervously.
"Sure what happened?" Mickey asked.
"During the murders me and Randy got together but after it happened and I lost my sister I couldnt see him anymore so we went on a break and we agreed that when we had both dealt with our grief and shit we'd become a proper couple" Tess explained.
"Ok. So have you dealt with your issues?" he asked.
"I think I have. I feel good. I feel happy. I just don't feel I have Randy anymore though" Tess said.
"Maybe he got tired of waiting?" Mickey suggested.
"Yeah that is probably it!" She exclaimed.
"I'll always be here Tess" he said putting his hand on hers making her blush.
"Shit, am I having feelings for Mickey?" Tess said in her head.
Later that evening they went back to Mickey's room and put on Terminator.
Mickey got into bed in just his t-shirt and boxers whilst Tess was wearing her t-shirt and bedshorts after she went back to her room and got a change of clothes and her washbag as she was staying with Mickey for the night.
"You can join me in the bed if you want or I can sleep on the couch" Micky suggested.
"I'll get in with you" she said pulling the duvet across so she could join him.
Her heart was pounding being so close to him. They had a bowl of popcorn between them as they watched the movie.
After the movie ended Mickey switched off the TV and grabbed the popcorn bowl and placed it on the floor next to him.
"Tess" he said before quickly reaching over and passionately kissing her on the lips. She returned the kiss and they kissed passionately and one thing led to another and they had ripped each other's clothes off and had made love and that night Tess had lost her virginity.
The next morning, they had both woken up in his bed naked. Mickey planted gentle kisses on her neck. "Good morning beautiful". he whispered.
"Hi" She looked over at him smiling.
"Are you ok after last night?" he said wanting to know she was alright after they had made love.
"I feel great Mickey. You were magical" She said kissing him passionately on the lips before they made love again.
They had to hurry and shower before their first class on the day so they ended up showering together and getting changed.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Mickey asked Tess as they were getting dressed.
"Yes" She smiled kissing him on the lips.
They left his room together but unknown to them somebody had seen them leave together as they saw them from the other side of the corridor and the person in question could guess what had happened and he was broken hearted.
After their first film theory lesson Randy walked up to Tess "I want to talk to you". She could see he was unhappy and guessed someone had told him about her and Mickey.
"Let's talk in private" She said.
Mickey saw the pair and decided to keep his distance.
"I saw you and Mickey" He said close to crying.
"Oh god..." She said putting her head in her hands. "How did you find out?" she asked.
"I saw you coming out of his room together and i guessed by the expressions on both your faces" Randy said.
"Rand I'm sorry" She said reaching to touch his face but he pulled away from her.
"Don't touch me!!" he exclaimed a tear rolling down his face.
"I thought you didn't want me anymore. You hardly speak to me! We don't hang anymore. Everytime I try you say you're busy. What was I supposed to think?" She said.
"I was giving you SPACE! Like you wanted. I was doing what you wanted!!" Randy exclaimed.
"I never said ignore me did I?" She exclaimed angrily.
"You said you needed time after Tatum to grief and deal with your problems. So I gave you that! I didn't say jump into the bed of the first guy to pay you any attention!" Randy exclaimed he then felt Tessa's hand slap him on the cheek.
"How dare you!!" Tessa said.
Randy rubbed his cheek.
"I'm done. OK. Done. Enjoy your life with Mickey but don't come back crying to me because I am done with YOU" Randy got up and stormed off leaving Tessa crying.
Mickey saw Tessa crying so he walked over to her and put his around her "I'm sorry Tess".
She didn't say anything. She just kept crying.
