Author note: Reviewer participation. If you review, you get to be mentioned in an upcoming Stoneybrook University ficcy, in an author's note, thanking you for coming up with a student name. Okay, you see, I have writer's block with the name of students. I may give a student a less than desirable personality, and if you chose the name, it's nothing against you. Okay, here's the scoop: You, yes, you, the reader, get to pick a name of a student. If you are a boy, pick a boy's name. If you are a girl pick a girl's name. For example: Xenia Upshur for a girl. If it is an exotic name like Xenia, say if that is supposed to be a girl's name or a boy's name. Or if it could be both a boy or a girl's name, like say, Taylor or Kelly. Yes, I actually know a boy named Kelly. A boy's name example: Connor Fitzpatrick. There will be a Xenia Upshur and a Connor Fitzpatrick. You can even have a set of twins if you wish, but I can only have so many twins. I could change the last name of one if I have too many twins. Okay, there really is a Stoneybrook University in New York. I would know. I live in New York. So the BSC members Abby, Claudia. Mary Anne, Stacey, and Kristy will be going to Stoneybrook University in New York. Ha ha. I know Stoneybrook, Connecticut, is made up by Ann M. Martin. Anyway, name a student. When I have enough names, I'll post story # 1. Omigod, I typed a page long author's note! I guess I talked too much! Speak of mondo author notes. Auggh! I'm talking too much again! I'll shut up now.
Disclaimer: The usual blah blah blah.
"Stoneybrook University, here we come!" cheered 18 year old Kristy Thomas. The petite brunette had a huge grin on her face. Her friends were happy, too.
Mary Anne Spier burst into tears. "This is too, too cool," she sobbed.
"It's okay," said Claudia Kishi, patting her head.
"I'm gonna miss Dad," cried Mary Anne.
"Think of all the cool parties," said a grinning Stacey McGill.
"Oh, lovely," said Mary Anne, who was a teeny bit shy.
"Heeeeeey," said Abby Stevenson. "Here's the cracker-jack in the box."
Kristy rolled her eyes. "You mean the train?"
"Yeah," said Abby.
"The studying is gonna be fun," joked Stacey.
"Studying fun? Get real," said Claudia.
"I wonder how many cute boys will be there," said Stacey.
"Yeah," said Claudia, a grin coming over her face.
The BSC was on the train a long time. Then they got on a ferry to Long Island.
"I remember this place. I think I used to live here," said Abby.
Then the BSC got onto another train.
"I'm getting sick of trains," said Claudia.
"Imagine what Margo Pike would be like," Kristy said.
"Oh, Kristy, that's mean," said Mary Anne. The BSC used to sit for 12 year old Margo. Margo was also the sister of the former BSC member Mallory Pike, who was 16 and a junior at her boarding school.
Finally, finally the BSC got to Stoneybrook University, in New York.
Author's note: A cliffie! Ha ha ha.
