Hello, fanfic fans! KTF/Xfox here again. This time around I'm attempting an Undergrads story. Enjoy!

Introduction

"Boy does it feel good to be home." Nitz took a running jump and landed with a thud on his old bed. He threw his hat with a flick of the wrist and it landed on his nightstand. 'It's like I never left' he thought to himself. 'But things sure have gotten complicated since the last time I've been in this room.'

"Parker! Parker! Do you need help unpacking?" His mother practically forced the door open.

"No mom. I'm a big boy now. I can unpack alllll by myself now." Nitz didn't exactly like his real name, which is probably why he always hated when anyone called him by it. And why he wasn't in the mood to deal with an overbearing mother right now.

"Parker, dear. You still never told me why Jesse wasn't there when we came to get you. I was dying to meet her. I thought you were good friends."

"Mmmm..." Nitz gave off one of his trademark slightly annoyed grunts. He rolled over onto his side and faced the wall. "I don't want to talk about it right now."

His mother threw her hands up. "Alright honey. Though I did want to tell you that your brother has some news that he's been dying to tell you, but he wanted to tell you face to face."

"Is that so?" Nitz's brother was a year younger than him and basically was a mama's boy like he was before college. "Where is he now?"

"I'll go get him, dear." Nitz's mother scurried out of the room.

Nitz felt bad because he and his brother sort of drifted apart when college came about. 'I wonder what's so big he has to tell me face to face.'

"Nitz!" A thin younger version of Nitz kicked open the door. He was wearing a T-shirt with a flannel shirt draped over it and a pair of dusty blue jeans.

"Jay! How's my little brother doing?"

"I'm as ecstatic as can be!"

Nitz chuckled a little. "I can see that. So what's the big news you got for me?"

Jay stood with his arms at his sides, as if announcing something as Superman. "I'm going to State U!"

Nitz fell off the bed and landed with a crash. "Wh-what did you say?"

"Oh stop being so melodramatic. I'm going to State U next semester! Isn't that great?"

"Well, yeah. But...why?"

"OK, so mom sorta talked me into it. I guess she doesn't want her sons to move far far away. So how are Cal and the gang?"

"Oh, they're...yeah."

Jay narrowed his eyes. "Oh I see. You don't want to be seen with your uncool brother."

"No, it's just...a lot has happened the past few days. There's just a lot of information to process. Really, I'm happy for you."

"Mmmmhmmm. Well, whatever the case, it's great to see you."

"Likewise."

Jay left the room and closed the door behind him.

Nitz sat up on the floor against his bed and looked up at the ceiling. "Great. One more thing to worry about."

"Look, dude. It's a simple decision. Who has the hottest bod? The tightest ass? The biggest rack?"

"Rocko. It's not as simple as all that." Nitz bounced a super ball against the wall of his room. "Kimmy was all I thought about freshman year. I finally get her, but now all of a sudden Jesse made it known that she...AAAAAHHHH!" He slammed the ball against his dresser, making it bounce wildly about the room. "I'm just frustrated with everything right now. And now I find out that my younger brother is going to State U in the fall."

"Who, Jay? That's cool."

Nitz rolled his eyes. "I don't know. Sometimes he tries too hard to fit in. I'm afraid he'll just make an ass of himself."

Cal stood up. "Say, guy. Why can't you have both nice ladies? Sometimes I have two ladies, but it's usually more."

"That's nice, Cal." Nitz resumed talking. "Anyway, I want to call up Jesse to apologize. Do you think I should?"

Gimpy's face appeared in a window on the computer sitting on his desk. "If there's one thing I can't stand, it's seeing a girl making a fellow man weak."

"Come on Gimpy. Well, guys?"

"What was the question, guy?"

"The girl is the enemy!"

"Hmmm....two ladies."

"I can always turn to you guys for advice."

The clock struck eight and Nitz just stared into the cell phone in his hand. 'Who do I call? Kimmy or Jesse?' He started to dial a number then closed the phone shut. 'What do I do?' He looked over at his dresser and fixed his eyes on the picture of Kimmy he kept for three years. Letting out a big sigh, he pressed the buttons on his phone and held it up to his ear.

"Hi! How are you doing?" After a slight pause, Nitz clutched his head and let his words out slowly. "So what do you say? Would you like to go out this weekend?"

This chapter was intentionally short, mainly to introduce Jay and give a little bit of info before getting into sophomore year. I'll try to be quick with the updates, but there's no promises. Later, UG fans!
