Y.M. College

Cody's Point Of View

'So glad you decided to come to Y.M. College with me, Cody,' Zack said.

'Yeah, whatever. I had to go to some college.' I said, wearily, looking at the bright pink wallpapers that give me headaches.

'It's their loss that Yale didn't see your talent!' he droned on.

We were in our hostel in [Yay Me College]. Yay Me College. Funny name.

'After 12 years of sharing a room with you, I finally get a different roommate, and yet I got someone like Woody. And now, I'm where I started. With you. Is this some kind of a joke?' I asked Zack.

'Well, at least you know what you're going to expect. Unlike with Woody. I'm still amazed that he can fart 'Stairway to Heaven',' Zack replied.

Well that's true, but still an annoying fact. 'Technically, only after the Mexican buffet,' I answered, remembering Woody performing the song with his gas.

'Wonder if they serve Mexican buffet here…'

'This is college. Not a cruise. And don't you dare pollute the room with your gas,' I said, unpacking my luggage.

I took out my carefully starched clothes and hung them in my closet, while Zack just stuffed everything in. He leaned against the closet doors to force them to close.

Hm, that reminds me of someone who had way too many clothes. I wonder where London ended up…

'Give way! London Tipton coming through!' I heard someone outside shout.

I flung open the door to my hostel and saw London sitting on top of her trunk, while someone dressed in a butler uniform pushed the trunks.

'London? What are you doing here?' I was surprised to see London.

'Attending college. I know, crazy right? But Daddy said I had to. So I asked him to buy me a pink one!' London got off her trunk and told her butler to roll it to her room.

'That would explain the head-spinning wallpaper.'

London gasps. 'Pink is not head-spinning! Wait, what does head-spinning mean?'

I was about to explain to her when she rudely interrupted. 'Anyway, got to go! No way can I be seen talking to a loser like you!' she said as she sashayed off.

I'm the loser here? Fine.

'Who was that?' Zack asked, coming out of the bathroom.

'Did you know London was in Y.M. College?' I asked my brother.

'Who doesn't?'

'Um, me?' I was surprised at the fact that Zack knew that bit of news.

'Cody, Cody, what is the name of our college?' Wait, what has the name of our college have to do with anything?

'Um, [Yay Me College]? What wrong's with – oh.' Yay me's London's favorite thing to say, while clapping her hands and jumping up and down.

'Man, and you're the smarter twin?' Zack asked as he switched on my laptop, which he took without asking again, to play [Better Life].

I unpacked more clothes and hanging them carefully in my closet. Wouldn't want them to be crumpled.

After packing, I got ready for bed. 'It's 8.30. You better hit the sack. We have classes tomorrow,' I reminded Zack, who was busy hitting on girls at his arcade in [Better Life].

Wonder how's life for Bailey at Yale... I thought.
