Wasnt a huge fan of the second movie but it gave me the idea for this story! So hope you enjoy! and sorry for any typos or bad spelling... havent found an app for a kindle fire with spell check yet...
Truth University. That's all Eden could think about as she walked to the campus. She had been waiting her whole life to walk onto the campus as a freshman. But now that the time was here, she wasn't feeling so confident. Eden had grown up just a few blocks from the University and had gone to multiple events at the school. Her parents had both gone to Truth. And just the year before her older brother had graduated from there. Now it was her turn to complete the family tradition. The only good thing was that she wouldn't be doing it alone. Her twin brother was also going to Truth. Dispite his longing to go to NYU, he sucked it up and applied to Truth.
"It's bigger than I remember." Eden said looking around the cort yard. there high above them flew the flags of the National Stomp competition Most of them were red and silver with a picture of a wolf for the Mu Gama Xi Frat. All except for the last one. This one was black and orange with a picture of a python. It seemed to hang the proudest out of all the flags. Theta Nu Theta, last years champs.
"It's because your nervous." Dane said putting his arm around his sister's shoulders. He had also been checking out the flags.
"You still thinking about pledging?" Eden asked and Dane groaned.
"Its kinda expected." Dane replied. "You think Mu Gama would take me?"
Eden snorted and pushed her brother away from her. "Pretty sure they will take any legacy. And if they don't they'll get an ear full from dad."
Dane shrugged. He wasn't even sure he wanted to pledge Mu Gama. Or any Frat for that matter. All he really wanted to do was go to NYU.
"Come on. We better go regester before mom calls to make sure I didn't try to run." Dane said as he started to walk away. Eden quickly cought up with him and walked in silence. She and Dane had never been away from each other for more than a month. The thought of him moving to a different state was bugging her for some reason. she wasn't sure she could handle it very well. From the time they could walk, Eden was never to far behind Dane. even through school they were always seen together.
"Would you have really left me behind?" Eden finally asked when they got into line for registration. Dane sighed heavily. He knew his twin was going to ask eventually.
"It would have only been for a semester. Then I would have been back for Christmas." Dane said and saw his sister's face fall in disapointment. "Eden, your my best friend. And the best sister I could ask for. But some day we will have to go seperate ways."
Eden sighed. "I know. I was just hopin that you'd want to go to Truth with me like we did as kids."
Dane smirked down at her. "I am going to Truth with you. And just like when we where kids, we'll be the coolest twins on campus."
Eden finally smiled. "You'd better believe it!"
Eden looked around the registration room. It was wall to wall students. The only way to move in the room was forward without bumping into people. She took one look at the closest exit and wondered how mad Dane would get if she bolted. And as she thought those exact thoughts a group of guys walked into the room. All of them wore the familiar black and orange jackets of Theta Nu Theta. Eden took each boy in. The first one was shorter than his friends and slightly plumper. The guy to his right was busy checking out the girls a head of them. the man on the left was very good looking and by the way people greated him, he was very well known. then there was the last Theta. he was taller than the rest of them. Eden couldn't take her eyes off of him.
"Earth to Eden." Dane said waving his hand in her face. she took her eyes off the Theta and looked at her brother. "You holdin up the line."
"Oh, sorry." Eden said to the girl behind her. she walked up to the rest if the line and then took the chance of glancing back at the Thetas one last time. but this time they were gone. Eden turned back and decided it wasnt worth looking around any more. she was at Truth to further her education and become the fifth Depree to gratuate with honors.
Eden walked into her dorm room and bit her lowe lip. Her room mate hadn't moved in yet so she had first pick of the beds. she decided to take the smaller looking side. she figured it would only be fair since she lived in town. if she didnt like her room mate she could always stay at home for a few days.
"Nice digs." Dane said bringing in one of her boxes. "No roomy yet. you lucky. Mines already driving me nuts with his I'm going to be a Mu. The boy can't even keep a beat."
Eden smirked over at him. "Why didn't you just shut him up by saying you a legacy?"
"Cause I have to live with the fool till after Pledge week thats why!" Dane demanded. he looked around the room and back at his sister. "You only brought two boxes with you?"
"Yeah, my other brother is bringing me my stuff." Eden teased. "Cause you stuffed the car with all your shit."
Dane smirked and laid down on his sister's bed. "Well I'd offer to take you to get some food, but if ya leave your room mate might take your bed."
"Why? I took the smaller side."
Dane looked around and rolled his eyes. "Your way to nice some times. How are you even my twin?"
Eden playfully pushed her brother off her bed. "Some one had to be nice and pretty out of all us kids."
Dane pretened to look hurt. "Are you saying I'm not pretty."
Dane got to his feet and headed for the door. "You coming."
"As long as you don't take me to that damn fish place." Eden said then shuttered a bit. "That Will or Wynn guy always hits on me."
Dane laughed "He isn't that bad of a guy."
"Then you be me for a day and see how much you like ta be hit on by him." Eden sajd picking up ber dorm key and sunglasses. She checked herself out in the mirror and shrugged. she looked good enough for lunch with her brother. her black hair was full of curls that day. she didnt mide her curly hair unlike her mother who tried to tame it down since she was a kid.
Dane decided to eat at a little resturaunt on campus. It was a very good place to eat. their brother had taken them to eat there a few times. they took a seat in the back and ordered their food. just as the waitress brought them their food a group of guys walked in. Eden couldnt believe it. they were the same Thetas that she saw earlier thay day. minus the very handsome tall one.
they took a seat across from her. Dane smirked as he watched his twin sister become figity in her seat. "Would you like me to say hi?"
"Don't you dare." Eden glared at him. He smirked and took a bite of fries.
"We got this years nationals in the bag." the plumper guy said to his two friends.
"What makes you think we don't already know this?" One of his friends replied. Eden had seen the back of his jacket earlier that day and knew they called him Showtime.
"Now don't get ahead of yourselves." The cute one said with a smirk. "We still got pledge week. who knows what we'll get then."
Showtime shoom his head. "DJ man, you been hanging with Sly too much. we all know with your dance moves and Sly's steppin skills we got this."
"But with Zeke gone this year, Grant has free rane." DJ reminded his friends. "We all know that guy has a few tricks up his sleave. and who knows the Mus may get some good talent this year."
Eden gave Dane a small wink. this time it was his turn to glare over at her.
"Where the hell is Sly?" Showtime said looking at the door. "He has never been late."
"Had a little trouble with his class." DJ replied. "Something about having to have one more credit to graduate this year and they didnt give it to him. knowin his luck he'll have to take a class full of freshman."
DJ's friends smirked. Aparently this Sly guy wasn't a huge fan of Underclassmen Eden thought to herself. the door opened and all three guys called over Sly. Eden looked up and almost choked on her food. There stood the very good looking guy from earlier.
"You ok?" He asked as Eden coughed a bit. she nodded and took a drink of her pop.
"She'll be ok." Dane said to Sly. "And if she's not, I'll be down a sister."
"Gee Thanks Dane." Eden said glaring over at her brother. Dane just smirked and gave her a small wink. Sly had taken a seat with his friends then looked around the resturaunt.
"Mus have a about four legacies comeing this year." Sly said sounding a little defeated. "One is Zeke's brother. Another is Easy's brother."
"Damn." Showtime said sitting back in his seat. "I've seen Easy's little brother in action. and we all know the Mus will be all over him."
"Well then we'll just have to up our game tomorrow." DJ said making his fellow Thetas look at him funny. "Thetas won me over last year, not because you offered me a deal or made me feel like I was the best. I liked that fact that you still made me apply. let them see what we can bring. our creativity and humor beats them every time. we've proved this."
Sly smirked. "Good thing for us."
"You aint eating." Dane said causing Eden to jump.
"Sorry guess I wasnt as hungery as I thought." Eden said then looked down at her watch. "Shit, we got to go."
"Why?" Dane asked with a mouth full of hamburger.
"Cause my stuff is suposed to come in five minutes. which in our brother's time means we late." Eden said poking a hole in Dane's hamburger bun. He dropped it at once.
"Really? was that needed?" Dane asked looking at his hamburger with a sad face. he really wanted to finish it.
"Yes it was. Now get the check so we can go." Eden said taking a drink of her pop. "You know if we dont show up soon he'll just drop it off for any one to grab it."
Dane groaned and went to go pay.
"Do I know you?" Showtime asked as Eden stood.
She looked down at him confused. "I don't think so. I'm just a freshman."
Showtime shook his head. "I could have sworn I've seen you around here before."
"Rich, leave the poor girl alone." DJ said and Eden gave Showtime, now known as Rich another look.
"Rich Brown." Eden said with a smirk. "You were a couple years older than me in school."
Rich nodded. "I knew I'd seen you before. I just cant remember your name."
"Eden! lets go." Dane called over to her.
"Guess you know it now." Eden said walking up to her brother. The moment she walked away Rich shook his head.
"Damn I still can't place the girl."
"Maybe you should get your eyes checked." Noel said with a smirk. "The back of her brother's shirt said Depree."
Rich shook his head. "I could see that. But I know I have seen her around campus before."
Sly leaned back in his seat as his eyes began to focus on the booth the girl once sat. DJ called this look Sly's DVR look, because thats exactly what he was doing playing back his memory.
"Your right. She has been on campus the last few years actually. just figured she was a teachers kid." Sly said with a slight shrug.
"She cute too." Noel said with a smirk. "And she had her eyes set on you Sly."
Sly smirked. "Did she now. Never would have guessed. I just figured she always had trouble eating."
DJ chuckled. "Now you see, I think you boys had it all wrong earlier. Sly has been hanging out with me for too long.
Eden and Dane had just made it back to her dorm room when thier older brother pulled up. "Wherr the hell have you two been? I had enough time to go talk to some old friends waiting on you two."
"Sorry, we went to that little diner you used to take us to." Eden said as she gave her brother a hug. "And you don't have to be a jerk now that you've graduated and are moving up in the world."
"Yeah and talking about moving up in the world, can we please get your shit out of my car?" Her brother asked handing her a bag of what looked to be bedding.
"Uh, this aint mine." Eden said holding it out to her older brother.
"Sure it is." he replied handing Dane a box of what looked like desk suplies. Purple and blue ones at that. "I couldn't let my baby sis go to college with the same bedding she had since grade school."
"And what am I chopped liver?" Dane asked taking another box from his brother.
"You got my old car, why are you even bitching." His brother said grabbing the last box. "Come on Squeaker, lets get you all set up."
Eden smiled up at her brother. "Thank you. You really didn't have to do all this."
"You have no idea what would have happened if you walkrd in here with scooby doo sheets do you?" Eden just shrugged. "Wasn't exactly planning on letting a lot of people see them."
"Well once you get into the Deltas people will see them." her brother said setting the box he was carring down so he could unlock the door for his sister. In side her room mate was once again not there, but all of her stuff was. her bed was already made up with a orange and black bed spread.
"Looks like you got a Theta fan on your hands. good thing I didn't buy you red and gray bedding." Her brother said with a smirk.
"If you had, I would have made you take it back." Eden said with a smirk.
"Well, Squeaker, wish I could stay and help ya unpack, But I have to work in the morning at my very high paying job." He gave his sister a wink then patted his brother on the back. "You look after her. Make us proud Dane."
As he walked away Dane sighed heavily. "Gee thanks Zeke."
