A/N- Hey guys here's a story featuring all the original 24 contestants from the first three seasons of Total Drama. This is a story about them all attending college together. A few notes are the only reason why they all ended up in the same college is because they all got scholarship offerings which they all accepted for their own reasonings. This story will be split into two parts which is part one: freshmen year, and part two: sophomore year. I call the college Rivers University because I couldn't think of anything else to name the university, and while I could have just used a real university I didn't feel like it.
Disclaimer- I own nothing except the college.
Part 1: Freshmen Year
Chapter Summary- All 24 cast members from the first three seasons of Total Drama arrive at Rivers University. Courtney runs into a person she never wanted to see again. Heather is bitter over a break up, and finding out who her roommate is only makes her angrier. Gwen has an awkward run it with an old flame, and Cody finds himself getting some much deserved attention from other female students at the university.
Rivers University. Day before classes officially begin, students' arrival.
Duncan arrived at the university. He looked around expecting to see some of his fellow Total Drama castmates but he had yet to spot any. He had gotten out of prison a month ago on parole, and he couldn't be happier. He wasn't planning on even attending college until he got a letter in the mail saying he had been accepted to RU which surprised him until he read the reason why. His first instinct was to throw the letter away until he realized if all the originals were going to be there then maybe she would be there too.
He had to see her again, he had to make things right even if it was the last thing he ever did. He knew now what a mistake it was to let her go he had realized that while he was stuck in prison. He missed her, he missed their fights, their make-up sessions, hell he even missed her constant nagging. He thought about her every day, and he would like to think if he hadn't of cheated then maybe just maybe he wouldn't have blown up Chris's stupid mansion, or cottage whatever the hell he was calling it. He needed to find her. He had to find Courtney.
Courtney, and Bridgette made their way to the girls' dorm rooms. "I can't believe I'm finally here", Courtney exclaimed. Bridgette nodded her head in agreement, "I know right. I've been looking forward to starting college ever since my senior year of high school. The only thing I was worried about was being separated from Geoff because I didn't think we would even be going to the same college on top of that I was freaking out about how to pay for just the first two semesters. Then I got the letter. I was so happy because now I get to be with my boyfriend, and not have to worry about stupid college loans", she said smiling.
"Yeah something good finally came from being on that stupid show. I regret even signing up for what was literally hell on earth, and Chris McLean was the devil. Normally I would say once I get my law degree, and pass the bar I would sue him for everything he has. But now I just want to leave Total Drama behind me, and leave it in the past where it belongs. I'm just happy that I get to be on my own finally. I have my life already planned out", Courtney said.
"Really already? I mean the first semester hasn't even technically started yet", Bridgette said. "I know but I plan on working nonstop, making the dean's list every semester, become a lawyer then work at a law firm", Courtney explained."What about a boyfriend?" Bridgette asked. Courtney shook her head, "Nope no boyfriend. Relationships are not a priory right now, I just want to focus on my studies", she said.
"What about Duncan?" Bridgette asked. Courtney's face grimaced when she heard that name, she walked furthered to avoid talking about the subject that she was sure would ruin her happy mood but Bridgette caught up with her. "I don't want to talk about him", Courtney said when Bridgette returned to her side. "Come on Court you can't avoid him while you're here", Bridgette said.
Courtney stopped walking, and faced her. "Duncan is defiantly not a part of my plan, and as for avoiding him I doubt he'll be here. For one he's probably still in prison for all I care, and two who's to say he even finished high school?" Courtney said. "Plenty of people finish high school while in prison", Bridgette pointed out. "That was a rhetorical question", Courtney said. "Courtney…", Bridgette began but she was cut off. "Duncan like that stupid show is a part of my past, and I want him to stay there", Courtney told her then continued her way to the dorms. Bridgette sighed there was no use in arguing with her. She followed Courtney, and the two made their way to the dorms.
"Oh my God Sadie look at this place it's so huge", Katie said as she looked around the campus in excitement. "I know Katie. This place is almost as big as-as", Sadie said as she thought of something to compare the large campus to. "Uh Disney Land", Katie said even though she knew it probably wasn't that big. Sadie nodded, "Yeah almost as big as that. Almost", she said.
The BFFFL's continued exploring the campus some more, "Oh Sadie remember that campus tour we took at that one college, and we wanted to go to one just like that?" Katie asked. "Ohhh I remember that trip. It was sooo much fun it was like being a college student for a day", Sadie said as she remembered the trip their junior class took back in high school.
Just then a shirtless upperclassmen guy walked by them. He gave them a wink as he passed by before joining another group of what appeared to be a bunch of fraternity members. Katie, and Sadie squealed in delight as they looked at the group.
"Watch this babe", Tyler told Lindsay as he took a football, and threw it across the air. Unfortunately for Tyler it ended up hitting Eva in the back of the head. "WATCH IT ASSHOLE!" She yelled while shaking her fist at him. "Sorry", he called out to her. Eva just shook her head in annoyance, and walked away.
"Hey wasn't that Eve?" Lindsay asked. "Lindsay you mean Eva", Tyler said. Lindsay smiled, "Oh right Eva. Wow I guess everybody was offered that scholarship", she said. Tyler nodded, "Yeah they were. But isn't it awesome that they're also giving me a chance to play football while I'm here?" He said. "Well you did score the winning touchdown at your last high school game of the season", she pointed out.
It was true Tyler had really stepped up his game during high school. He improved a lot but nobody except Lindsay thought it was enough to be able to play college football. But when he had gotten that letter, and it said they wanted him to also play football at their school he was overjoyed. Of course all of his family was left scratching their heads as to why anybody would give him a chance to play on their team because to them the boy was still pretty clumsy. It was mystery to them as to how he even scored that winning touchdown but they didn't let Tyler know that. In fact, they were just glad he was going to get a chance to play football in college because it was something Tyler had worked really hard for.
"I was the hero of that game, and I still have that game ball. Speaking of game ball, I wonder what Eva did with my ball?" Tyler said looking around for the football that he tossed a while ago. Suddenly a football knocked him on the side of his head. Tyler fell down in agony while rubbing his head.
"TAKE BACK YOUR STUPID BALL!" Eva yelled. DJ who had seen the whole thing decided to intervene in case things got ugly. "Come on Eva it was an accident", he told her. Eva growled at him, and DJ coward in fear. Noah walked by the two, and looked at his former castmates that he'd gotten to know over the years. "Same old Eva. Same old DJ", he said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Eva questioned. Noah shrugged, "You know you still have your anger management issues, and DJ is still well DJ", he said. Eva rolled her eyes, "Whatever. Just so you know my counselor said I have made great improvement ever since that little episode I had on Total Drama Island", she said.
"Oh yeah throwing a ball at someone, and almost knocking them out is improvement", Noah said with sarcasm then started walking away. "Well to me it is. I could have done a lot worse", Eva said to Noah but he was already gone.
As soon as Eva left DJ sighed in relief, he for sure thought Eva was going to rip Tyler to pieces, and he was even afraid that she might go after Noah. He looked at his pet bunny that was in a crate near his luggage, "That was a close one right bunny?" He asked even though he knew the rabbit couldn't speak back. That would just freak him out instead the bunny just blinked, and wiggled his nose at him.
"Oh come on DJ you know bunnies can't talk", a voice said behind him. DJ screamed, and ducked for cover until he realized he knew the voice. "Owen?" DJ asked as he opened one eye just to be sure it was his old friend. "Yeah man it's me", Owen said chuckling. DJ stood up, "Oh thank God I'm so glad it's you", he told him.
Just then Izzy popped up next to him, "HI DJ!" she yelled. DJ screamed again, "Hi Izzy", he said in a shaky voice. Izzy went to Owen's side, and the two gave each other a kiss. DJ stared at them in confusion he didn't know what was going on.
Owen chuckled when he saw DJ's confusion, "Oh man I forgot you don't know. Me, and Izzy got back together", Owen said pointing to his girlfriend. Izzy grabbed onto Owen, "Yeah I really missed my Big O", she said.
Over the summer Owen had met up with Izzy again, and the two started hanging out. Owen had really missed Izzy so over dinner the two got back together. DJ smiled at the reunited couple, "Well congratulations guys I'm happy for you", he told them. The two thanked him.
Before either Owen, or DJ could stop her Izzy took off running. "Shouldn't you stop her?" DJ asked. Owen shook his head, "Nah she'll be fine. I made sure she didn't bring any explosives with her, or anything else that can cause destruction, and chaos", he assured DJ. "Are you sure?" DJ pressed. He didn't want to see somebody hurt before the semester even had a chance to start. But he knew how Izzy could get as did Owen.
"Of course I'm sure. Everything is under control", Owen said. Just then a loud boom was heard. "Sorry", they heard Izzy call out although they couldn't tell where she was. Owen decided to change the subject, "There must be like twenty restaurants on this campus. I passed by like four fast food restaurants, and two burger joints on the way here. This place has everything. I even check out their menu in their dining hall its awesome. I can't wait to eat at all these places", he told DJ.
"I'm going to miss my momma's home cooked meals", DJ said as he thought of his mother. He didn't like being away from home, and he almost didn't come but his mother told him not to waste an opportunity of a life time. They continued talking about how college will differ from high school when they heard the sound of sirens they then watched as two campus police cars zoomed past them.
Izzy ran up to them, "They're after me guys. I gotta go hide out see ya", she told them then started running off in the opposite direction. A cop on foot started chasing after her, "Suspect is on the run", he said on his radio. "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!" She yelled then started laughing maniacally.
Meanwhile Heather looked around the campus in annoyance. She wasn't in the mood for walking all the way to the dorms, and practically screamed when she found out there wasn't somebody to carry her bags for her. She had been in a really pissed off mood for a long time, it all started when her boyfriend well ex-boyfriend had told her he was going to go visit family in Spain. She was angry because she had so many things planned out for them during the summer. Alejandro insisted he had to go but he assured her he would be back after the summer was over.
They called, and skyped each other everyday for a while but then she started getting fewer calls from him it seemed like. Then he never had anytime for their skype chats then it became a point where she wouldn't hear from him for days. She didn't even get a text message, or a message on Facebook but when she did hear from him he always said he was busy. She had missed him but she never let it show because she didn't want to come across as one of those needy girlfriends. She just silently waited for the day he would return.
But then she got a call from him though telling her different he told her he was staying aboard for college. She yelled, and cursed at him over the phone. He said he just wanted to check it out for one semester, and if he didn't like it he would find a way to transfer to where she was. But she yelled at him to just stay where he was, and that they were through. She had then taken the phone, and threw it up against her bedroom wall.
How dare he leave her alone, and expect her to wait for him when he didn't even know if he was coming home? Well she didn't wait for anybody. He left her alone all summer, and barely contacted her so she dumped him. Her family didn't partially care for her new "attitude" since she took out most of her anger on them. It was basically just her yelling at them, and snapping at every little thing they did that she claimed annoyed her it was basically her being a bitch x10.
They did everything they could to avoid her, and didn't hide their excitement for when she finally started packing for college. It was very clear they wanted her out of the house because before that they would give her money, then tell her to go out, and have some fun. Though between her hatefulness, and the fact that they were just wasting money on a girl who wasn't going to be happy no matter what her father finally yelled at her to either get over it, or just get out.
So today when she left was a relief for all of them. No going away party, or anything just her parents, along with her brother, and sister telling her goodbye as she packed up her car. Nope it was obvious that they weren't going to miss her but Heather didn't care because she was done caring about anybody. She just wanted to get away.
She didn't have any real plans for any of her time here. She was just going to party, drink, smoke some hookah, and have as many one nights stands as she could. That'll show Alejandro, since she still had him on Facebook she was going to post a picture of herself with a different guy every night just to show him what he was missing.
She arrived at her dorm room finally since she had been carrying about four bags, and she had about two more large boxes waiting for her back in her car. She didn't know who she was rooming with since she didn't bother to pick a roommate. So she assumed that either she was rooming by herself which would be fine by her, or they assigned her one. She opened the door, and groaned when she saw who her roommate was.
"Haley?" Lindsay said surprised when she saw Heather walk into the room. Heather rubbed her forehead this couldn't be happening, what had she done to deserve this? She didn't know if she had the patient to deal with this all year long. Why? Why did they have to room her with this air head? "For the last time it's Heather you dunce", Heather told her.
"That's right its Heather. Wait you're my roommate? But I wanted Beth to room with me", Lindsay said as Heather took the bed on the opposite side of the room. "Didn't you sign some papers saying you wanted to room with that wannabe?" Heather asked as she started unpacking.
"Wait is that what those papers were for that came to my house a couple of weeks ago?" Lindsay asked. Heather threw down her empty carry-on bag, "Urge, yes you idiot you had a chance to pick your roommate, and you missed it. So now thanks to you we're both stuck together for the rest of freshmen year", she said.
Lindsay decided to look on the bright side of things, "Well maybe this won't be so bad", she said. Heather looked at her, "You're right, and to make sure we don't end up ripping each other's hair out let's lay down some ground rules", she told her. "OK", Lindsay said with a smile.
"Number one you stay on your side I'll stay on mine that includes keeping our things on our own sides which means if I see anything of yours its mine, understand?" Heather said. Lindsay nodded, "Alright", she said. Heather put up two figures, "Number two if you come here, and there's a black ribbon on the door it means I have somebody over. If you come in anyway, and disrupt us then I will be sure to make your life a living hell. Number three don't touch my booze if I find one bottle gone you sleep outside. Number four, and listen because this is very important", she told her.
Lindsay leaned in, "What is it?" She asked. "Don't. Talk. To. Me. EVER!" Heather finished with a yell. Lindsay backed up against the wall, "Message received", she whimpered. Luckily for Lindsay, Beth came into the room since the door was open, "Hey Lindsey I was told I could find you in here", she said. She stopped when she saw Heather.
Heather rolled her eyes, "Perfect", she murmured under her breath. "Heather you're Lindsay's roommate?" Beth asked. "Yes. Yes, we're roommates. Would you like to trade? Because I would be more than happy too", Heather said angrily.
Beth smirked she loved seeing Heather upset, "My roommate is Izzy", she told her. Heather held up her hands as if she were balancing a scale, "Let's see crazy vs. dumb dumb", she said. "Hey", Lindsay said. "Yup dumb dumb it is", Heather said. She didn't want to be stuck in a room with Izzy no telling how much unhinged the girl had become since the last time she had seen her.
"Wow Heather you're even more of a bitch than usual, and here I thought you might have grown up some", Beth said. Heather ignored her, "I'm out of here. She better be gone by time I get back", she told Lindsay while pointing at Beth. Then she left while slamming the door on her way out. Lindsay, and Beth just looked at each other wondering how they were going to survive Heather for the next four years.
Ezekiel could hear the whispers as he walked around the campus. "Is that him?" He heard one-woman whisper. Another gasped, "He looks so normal now", they said. He looked around at all the people who were eyeing him, pointing at him, and whispering. He sighed he had expected this from people, and his doctors were warning him that some people might not be so accepting even though he was all better.
After All Stars Ezekiel's parents had sent him to a special team of doctors, and therapists to help him with his "problems" as they referred to it. He got help though, he learned to speak again, his skin was no longer sickly green, and his hair grew back. But even after all this his doctors, and parents were afraid of letting him leave the inpatient hospital that he was forced to stay at. This included letting him attend college. His father thought if he should ever leave the hospital then he will just have him end up working on the family farm so they could keep an eye on him should he relapse into that other state.
But Ezekiel wanted more from life, he wanted to go out, and get a higher education. He wanted to have a career that made him happy no way was he working on a farm for the rest of his life. Not that there was anything wrong with that it's just not something he wanted to do. Most importantly he just wanted to be free, free from his parents, free from that farm. He wanted to go out to see what the world had to offer, because he never went to school he had poor social skills. Something he resisted his parents for because they sheltered him all his life, and after what happened to him they were even more determined to keep him under their watchful eyes.
When he finally got to leave the hospital he got his letter after he read it he saw that it was his ticket to freedom. His parents weren't happy when they found him packing for college but since legally he was an adult they couldn't stop him. He didn't have a car because his parents weren't big on letting him drive that was something he planned on changing now that he was basically on his own. Instead he took a bus to get down to the university which took many tries to do but he eventually got the hang of it.
He was going to try his best to not let anybody get to him. He was going to show everybody he wasn't some kind of freak, or monster that they thought he was. This was his time now. His time to be somebody.
Leshawna, and Gwen were out in the student parking lot unpacking her car. "Thanks again for helping me get my stuff up to the dorm", Gwen told her friend. "No problem after all we are roommates", Leshawna told her. "So do you know what you're pursing yet?" Gwen asked. Leshawna shook her head no, "Not really I'm just excited to be here", she said.
"Come on you must have something in mind", Gwen said. "I really don't know. I want to be able to have a good career when I graduate but I don't want to stay in school for eight years because sometimes that can happen. I don't know what my major will be yet but I suppose it'll come to me later on. My mom said I could figure it out after freshmen year", Leshawna said.
"Well I plan on majoring in art", Gwen said. "Really? But you're already so talented at it", Leshawna said. Gwen shrugged, "I heard a degree in art can help you in the long run. Plus, there are so many things they can teach you here that you don't learn in high school so I look forward to studying it more deeply. This is something I've wanted to do since I was a young teenager", she said with a smile.
As the two talked some more Heather bumped into Gwen as she carried two boxes, "Out of the way Gothy", Heather said not bothering to check to see if Gwen had dropped any of her belongings. It was clear she was in a hurry to get back to her dorm room since she was carrying some boxes. Leshawna was steamed, "Oh no she didn't", she said while walking after Heather to confront her. "Leshawna wait she's not worth it", Gwen said grabbing Leshawna's sleeve.
"What's her problem? Girly need to check herself", Leshawna said. Gwen smiled, "You didn't hear?" She asked. "Hear what?" Leshawna asked. "Heather, and Alejandro broke up during the summer", Gwen informed her. Leshawna laughed, "Really? I always figured those two were a match made in hell. I thought one of them was for sure going to do the other in if it came down to like money, or something before I thought they would break up. So what's the deal behind the break up?" She asked.
"All I heard was that Alejandro was in Spain when they broke up so it must have been by phone call, or text message", Gwen said. Leshawna laughed some more clutching her stomach, "This is too much. I guess not even Alejandro could deal with Heather's evil ass. This is good news because now we only have to deal with one of them", she said.
"Think about it though it seems Heather is pretty pissed so it's obvious now somebody innocent has to suffer", Gwen told her. "That bitch better not try nothing on me. I'll bring out a can of whoop ass on that scrawny behind of hers. Then rip out her hair so she'll be bald again", Leshawna said.
Gwen raised an eyebrow, "You think it'll come down to that? I mean this isn't high school anymore we're supposed to be adults now. Come to think of it we are adults now. I hate to say this but maybe since this campus is so huge we should just walk away", she said. Gwen didn't want to risk getting kicked out, and losing her scholarship. If she lost that she might as well kiss her chance at studying art for free goodbye. Not to mention the possibility of jail time which isn't something she wanted, and she certainly didn't want that for her friend either.
"That does sound like the better option", Leshawna admitted. "See?" Gwen said. "But if she puts her hands on me it's on, my mother always said if somebody puts their hands on you then go ahead, and fight", Leshawna said. Gwen continued getting her stuff out of her car, "Well good luck to whoever is her roommate", she said.
Just then Harold came up to the two women, "My fair Leshawna", he called out which made Leshawna turn around. She smiled, "Harold. Give me some love", she said running up to him. The two embraced each other in a hug. "I knew you would be here", Harold said.
"Then you know that I need some help with all this stuff too", Leshawna said handing him a suit case. Harold groaned but took the suit case anyway. "Anything for you", he said with a smile. She told him the dorm room number so he knew where to go. "It isn't too heavy for you is it?" She asked. "Not at all", he told his former girlfriend.
Leshawna, and Gwen tried to keep from laughing as they watched Harold struggle to lift the heavy bag ignoring any offers of help from either women. He was determined to impress Leshawna. "I have to admit Harold is kind of sweet", Gwen said once he was out of earshot.
Leshawna agreed she felt like she could always count on Harold no matter what, and that he would do anything for her. But she always thought they were better off as friends. "He is but he doesn't need to impress me anymore. I don't know why he can't see that our relationship will be nothing more than friendship", she said.
"I guess he will always hold out that candle of hope for you. To be honest you really didn't give him a chance", Gwen told her. "I like our relationship better as friendship besides it didn't work out the first time", Leshawna said. "You never gave him a chance", Gwen repeated. Leshawna decided to drop the subject instead she grabbed the rest of the luggage, and they went to catch up with Harold.
Sierra grabbed onto Cody as they walked around the place they would call home for the next four years. "I'm so happy to be here with you Cody", she said. Cody chuckled, "Right back at you", he told her. Over time Cody, and Sierra had gotten to be pretty good friends. Even though Cody told her that's all he wanted to be Sierra still thought one day she would be Cody's girlfriend then later on his wife. Now that they were going to the same college, and they were older she figured she now had a chance with the guy she considered her soulmate.
"The best part is now I get to see you everyday, and I can just walk to your dorm. Now I won't have to drive for miles just to see you anymore. This is a dream come true", she said loudly. "But you will give me space like we talked about right?" Cody asked her.
Sierra gave a flick of her hand like that was no big deal, "Of course", she said. "Sierra", he said with a firm voice. "I promise I will give you space", she said holding up her right hand but crossed her fingers behind her back.
A brown haired young woman around their age walked up to them, "Excuse me?" She asked. "Can I help you?" Cody asked politely. Sierra who was still holding on to Cody tighten her grip but Cody gently pried her arms off him. "Yes I just wanted to ask if you're Cody from that reality show Total Drama?" She asked. Cody smiled, "Yup that's me", he told her.
The woman gave him a big smile as if she had got an early Christmas present. "I knew it. You're the codmesiter", she said. Cody laughed, "Well I don't call myself that anymore", he said. Thinking back now Cody figured saying that sounded kind of geeky.
"I'm Sierra", Sierra told the girl giving her a fake smile. "I know", the girl told her then she went back to speaking to Cody. "Do you mind if I bring my friends over? I know they would love to meet you, they're all really big fans of yours", she said. Cody nodded, and the girl called her friends over.
Sierra growled under her breath. Cody looked at her, "Be nice Sierra", he said. Sierra crossed her arms, "Whatever", she said.
Three more girls came over, and joined their friend. "See I told you guys it was him", the brown haired girl said. "You know I was rooting for you on World Tour but then that bitch Heather had to win", one girl said. "I know he was robbed that year", the brown haired girl spoke. "I love your voice", another one said. "I liked you in The Drama Brothers but you stole my heart on World Tour", said the last one.
They continued chatting some more about the show, and asking Cody all sorts of questions. Sierra watch them, and felt a rise of jealousy inside of her. She decided to interrupt the lovefest, "Well girls it was nice meeting you all but me, and Cody have to be leaving now", she said.
The girls groaned when they heard that but they turned around anyway to leave but the brown haired girl stayed behind. She wrote down something on a piece of paper that she took out of her purse, "Here's my number we can hangout sometime", she said handing it to him. "Thanks. Wait what's your name?" He asked before she walked away. "Amber", she said then ran after her friends.
Cody stuffed the paper in his pocket, and was met with an angry stare from Sierra. "What?" He asked innocently. "Nothing", she said. "I didn't do anything wrong", he insisted. "I know", she said. They saw that the girls were still staring at him.
"See you around Cody", Amber called out to him. He waved goodbye, and the girls giggled. "Slut", Sierra said. "Jealous Sierra?" He asked. Sierra shook her head, "No", she lied.
"They were just being nice", Cody said. "Please they were all over you", she said. "You mean like you do?" Cody countered. "That's different we know each other", she said. "Look if you think those girls were into me they weren't", he said.
"You're so naïve sometimes Cody", she said walking away. Cody followed her after giving one last wave goodbye to the girls. He caught up with her, "They have no reason to be interested in me at least not like that", he said referring to romantic interest. "Of course they do. Have you seen yourself? You're a total hunk now", she said.
She wasn't overreacting. Cody was no longer the scrawny, geeky teenager that started on season one of Total Drama. He was a little taller though not as much as Sierra, and he had some muscle on his upper body now.
"I don't see it", he told her. Sierra gave him a little smile either he was naïve like she said he was, or he was just being modest about his new look. "Just know that I'm your number one fan", she told him. Cody smiled back, "Of course Sierra. You'll always be my number one fan", he said. She hugged him.
Duncan walked into his dorm room, and was greeted by Geoff who pulled him into a bro hug. "Dude you're here. How did you get out?" Geoff asked him. Duncan threw his stuff to the side, and plopped down on a chair that was near a desk. "I got parole man", he said.
"Sweet", Geoff said. Duncan knew Geoff was still dating Bridgette he also knew that she, and Courtney were still tight so he decided to ask if he knew if Courtney would be there, or not. "Do you know if Courtney is attending this place?" He asked.
Geoff nodded, "Bridgette told me she would be", he said. Duncan stood up that's all he needed to know, "Great. I need to find her", he said. "Are you going to ask her to get back together, or something?" Geoff asked. "Yeah", Duncan said then he left the room in search of Courtney.
Courtney, and Bridgette were in their dorm room unpacking their things. "I'm going to check out the campus some more", Courtney said once she got settled in. "What for?" Bridgette asked. "You know to find out where the bookstore is, the library, and to find out what buildings my classes are going to be in", Courtney said.
Courtney left the dorm room, and about twenty minutes later Geoff entered. "Hey babe", he said pulling Bridgette into a kiss. The two made out some before they broke apart. "Are you all settled in?" Bridgette asked him. "Almost. Bridge you know what I should do?" He said. Bridgette smiled she already knew what he was planning. "Let me guess a party?" She said.
"Yes a party", he said. "I knew it", she said giving him another kiss. They broke apart again, "I'm so stoked for all the parties I'm going to attend while here, not only that but I'm also going to throw the biggest, baddest parties in the history of parties that they'll be legendary by the time I graduate", he told her.
"I have no doubt about that but you will have to do school work while you're here", she told him. "Yeah, yeah I know. We can't worry about that right now babe we have all the time in the world", he said.
"I guess you're right", she said. "I know I'm right. By the way do you know where Courtney is?" He asked. "She went out. Why?" She asked. "Duncan's looking for her", he said simply. "Crap", was all she said. Courtney was not going to like that.
Courtney was standing outside of the bookstore her back was turned, and she didn't see Duncan come up to her. "Hi Courtney", he said. Courtney jumped when she heard that voice then she turned around. "You!?" She said with surprise, and anger in her voice.
She took in the sight of him he still looked the same. He still had his piercings, and that same stupid neon green Mohawk. "I'm glad I found you", he said walking up more closely to her. Courtney backed away from him not because she was scared but because she didn't want to be anywhere near him. "What are you doing here? How did you get here?" She asked angrily. She couldn't believe that he was actually here at the same college as her. She knew since he was one of the originals he would be offered the same opportunity as the rest of them but she didn't think he had graduated from high school.
"I got parole, and just like the rest of the cast I was offered that scholarship", he said. "How did you graduate?" She asked. She knew just like Bridgette said that people graduated from high school all the time while in prison some even got their G.E.D but Duncan had never been a good student. When she was with him she was afraid that he was going to drop out. He never went to class, and he barely tried on any of his tests which never worked out in his favor. This just didn't make sense.
Duncan gave her a smirk, "Well believe it, or not I wasn't planning to even finish high school. But my mom thought it might help for me to work hard in the classes that they provided for us so that when I went up to my parole board they would see that I was serious about changing. It worked though, and here I am", he said.
"I can't believe this", she was about to walk away but Duncan grabbed her arm. "Wait", he said. "What?" Courtney said wanting nothing more than to get away from the boy who broke her heart. "Look Princess…", he said. "Don't call me that", Courtney snapped.
"Okay. Look Court I just want to stay out of trouble, and do something useful with my life", he said. "I doubt it", she told him not believing that he would take college seriously. "I didn't just come here though for that I also came here because I thought you would be here too, and I came for you", he said.
"Why would you come for me?" She asked. "I wanted to talk to you", he said. Courtney shook her head she couldn't deal with him not right now not ever again, "Get lost, and another thing stay out of my way", she told him then stomped away. "Courtney I'm sorry", he told her but she just ignored him, and kept walking. Obviously not caring.
Trent was checking his car to make sure he had everything he needed for his room. When he decided that he had everything he put his guitar case strap over his shoulder, and made his way to the boys' dorm. This place seemed nice, and he had asked about the music program it sounded promising he couldn't wait to get started. He was glad to be going to a college where most of his friends were going to be attending so at least he wasn't going to be surrounded by people he didn't know. He couldn't wait to catch up with everyone.
Gwen was on her way to her dorm room after she left to go make sure her car door was locked when she ran into Trent. "Hi Gwen", he said when he saw her. "Hi Trent", she said.
Not wanting to be rude Trent decided to try to strike up a conversation. "How have you been?" He asked. "Great. I just got settled in a while ago", she told him. "Great", he said. They stood there staring at each other not knowing what else to say.
"So what have you been up to?" She asked. "Nothing much really. I've been working on some new songs. I even played one of them on prom night at my school", he said. Gwen smiled a little, "That must have been nice", she said.
"It was okay. What's been up with you? After the whole World Tour fiasco?" He asked. "Well me, and Duncan dated for a while but as you should already know we broke up during All Stars", Gwen explained.
"I heard about that. Sorry by the way", he said meaning it. Gwen shrugged liked it was no big deal, "Don't be we weren't going to last anyway. I felt like it was going nowhere", she said.
Trent nodded in understanding, "Well I guess I'll see you around", he said. "You too", Gwen said. They parted ways.
Gwen headed back to her dorm room where Leshawna was still unpacking her stuff. "Hey girl", Leshawna said. "Hey", Gwen said sitting down at the desk that came with the dorm room. "What's wrong?" Leshawna asked. "I ran into Trent on my way back here", Gwen answered.
"I see. What happened?" Leshawna said going to stand near her. She put a comforting hand on Gwen's shoulder. "Nothing we just talked but it was so awkward. I never thought that would happen between us", Gwen said.
"Do you think you might still have feelings for him?" Leshawna asked. "What do you mean?" Gwen asked confused. "You know what I mean. Do you still want to get back together with him?" Leshawna asked. Gwen shook head no, "What? No. Of course not", she told her.
"Do you at least think you can be his friend?" Leshawna asked. Gwen sighed, "No I don't think we can be that either. I'm afraid it might be to awkward like our talk was. I guess I still have some guilt over the way I broke up with him during Total Drama Action", she said. "You don't have to keep feeling guilty about that. It was a long time ago", Leshawna said. "Not that long ago", Gwen said. She went to go lay down on her bed suddenly starting college didn't seem that exciting anymore.
Trent arrived in his dorm room where he saw Justin shirtless, and looking at himself in the mirror that was hanging on the wall. "Hey man", Trent said. "Hey", Justin said still looking at himself in the mirror. "What's up?" Trent asked.
Justin flexed his muscles, "Just checking myself out I got to make sure I'm in good shape if I'm going to be a model", he told Trent. "You're going to be a model?" Trent asked though not really surprised if anybody could be a model it was going to be Justin. "Uh huh", Justin said now he was checking out his face. Typical.
Trent began hanging up posters of his favorite band, "So why are you here then?" He asked. Justin was still looking in the mirror what he was looking for Trent didn't know. The guy was flawless. Finally, Justin answered him, "College sounds like a good idea but I won't be taking it seriously. Modeling is where my future lies", he told Trent. He grabbed a towel, and other bathroom products then went to go take a shower.
Beth, and Lindsay were in Beth's dorm room talking, and getting Beth settled in. Izzy was still nowhere to be found but Beth was sure she would turn up sometime. Lindsay was talking about how she couldn't wait to start studying fashion. She was also comparing the campus size to her old high school's size. Beth had been thinking about high school on her drive to the university. In high school she was always labeled the wannabe which didn't help her confidence any. She was also considered awkward among her peers so she didn't fit in to well. It still amazed her that her, and Lindsay managed to be good friends. She didn't feel beautiful, and didn't think she was of any worth until she started dating Brady. Brady. Don't think about him Beth, she told herself in her head.
"So Beth how's Bradley?" Lindsay asked. Beth looked down, "You mean Brady?" She asked trying not to think about him. Lindsay playfully smacked herself on the forehead, "Duh Brady. That's who I meant. Anyways how is he?" She asked. "We broke up over the summer", was all Beth said as she folded up her clothes, and put them in her dresser drawer. Lindsay gasped in shock, "But you two were so happy together", she said.
"We just weren't compatible", Beth said. "What does compatible mean?" Lindsay asked. "We just didn't work out", Beth said ending the conversation about Brady once, and for all.
"So what are your plans Noah?" Owen asked. They were in their dorm room, and Noah as usual was reading a book. "I just plan on getting my bachelor's degree", Noah said. "That's it?" Owen asked dumbfounded.
"You know I don't waste time when it comes to my education", Noah said as he turned another page. "Yeah but you must want to do something else while you're here. I mean this is college, this is where all the fun stuff happens", Owen told him. Noah looked up from his book, "Look Owen I don't expect anything exciting to happen while I'm here", he told him. Then he went back to reading his book.
Owen's stomach began to growl, "I'm hungry", he said. "I can hear that", Noah said. Owen got an idea, "Hey you want to go to one of those restaurants on campus?" He asked. Noah sighed, "Do we really have to go right now?" He asked. Owen nodded, "Yes. Yes, we do. Please Noah come with me. Please little buddy", he begged. Noah sighed again then put down his book, "Let's go big guy", he said.
They walked around the campus some until Owen decided on a place to eat. They went inside, and got a table where their waiter who looked like a college student himself gave them their menus. "Would you look at this stuff? It all looks so good I don't know what to try first", Owen said. "I'm not to hungry", Noah said. "Well I am", Owen said.
When their waiter came back Owen ordered some appetizers, and a soda. Once he had the appetizers he ordered two different kinds of burgers, and some chicken. Noah just ordered some soup, and had a water.
He watched as Owen stuffed his face then watched him order dessert. Over time he gotten use to Owen's large appetite though there were times when he foolishly asked himself where Owen put it all. Owen licked his empty bowl of ice cream clean. "Man so much food so little time", Owen said. Noah just stared, "You have time", he told him.
"I have a goal in mind I plan on going to every food joint on this campus, and eating everything off all their menus before the end of the year", Owen said. Noah's eyes got wide when he said that, "I don't think that's such a good idea maybe you should cut back Owen. I'm serious I really think you should", he told him. Owen thought about it then smiled, "No I don't think I need to", he said then he ate his other bowl of ice cream while Noah just continued to stare.
It was later in the day when Cody finally entered his dorm room for the first time. He had spent the majority of the day with Sierra. Ezekiel was lying in bed, "Hey Cody", he said when saw him. Cody looked at him in shock he had heard around that Ezekiel was here but didn't expect for him to look like his old self again. It amazes him what doctors can do.
"Hey Ezekiel", he said once he was over his shock. "You look different", Ezekiel said. "You look…like your old self", Cody said. They didn't say anything else to each other after that. Although Ezekiel wanted to at least have a conversation.
But then Ezekiel watched as Cody got out his cell phone, and started calling some girl name Amber. It seems that he forgot Ezekiel was in the room. Ezekiel just sighed so much for starting a conversation.
Eva was in her dorm room already getting a jump start on her workout. Like Tyler the university was also giving her an opportunity to play sports. They offered her the chance to play for their lacrosse team which didn't surprise Eva she had led her high school's lacrosse team to so many victories. She planned to do the same in college. She didn't plan on going pro but she did like competing. So this was perfect for her.
Sierra watched as she was lifting weights, "You do know they provide a gym for you here to workout in, right"? Sierra asked her. Eva grunted, "Yep but it wasn't open right now", she said. "Why are you working out so late?" Sierra asked. Eva grunted some more as she lifted up another weight, "Because. I. Need. To. Get. A. Head. Start. On. Training", she said then dropped the weight.
Sierra checked her Facebook she looked at Cody's page, and saw that he friended that Amber chick. "Slut", she said again. Eva dropped the other weight she was lifting, and looked at Sierra. "Excuse me?" Eva said thinking she was talking about her. "Not you", Sierra told her. "Who then?" Eva asked. Normally she didn't care about other people's problems but she was rooming with Sierra, and she didn't want to have to deal with the girl's whining.
Sierra sighed then told her what happened today with Cody, and his "fans". "You're jealous", Eva said then went back to her workout. "Can you blame me?" Sierra said. "Yes because he's not your boyfriend", Eva told her. "I want him to be", Sierra said.
"But he's not", Eva continued to tell her. "He will be someday", Sierra said with determination. Eva decided to give her some advice, "Understand this he's not right now, and if you butt into his love life then you are going to push him away", she said. Sierra didn't think that would happen she loved Cody but she couldn't deny it anymore he just didn't feel the same way about her especially after seeing him get to close to those girls today. If she was going to win Cody over she needed to do it soon, and fast.
DJ, and Tyler were in the dorm room that they were sharing together. They were tossing a football to each other, and talking. "So man, are you excited about playing football?" DJ asked as he tossed the ball back to Tyler. "Hell yeah dude. Just wait until our first game I'm going to be starting you watch", Tyler said. DJ caught the ball that Tyler tossed to him, "Man I don't how you do it. Having people pile all over you. Getting knocked in the head", he said shuddering at the thought of being tackled.
"We wear padding, and helmets you know", Tyler said. "I don't care. Football is just too violent for me", DJ told him. "Hockey always seemed more violent to me but I love that sport too. I love all sports. This is like a dream come true for me", Tyler said.
"So do you think you'll make it to pro?" DJ asked. Tyler thought about it some. He worked real hard to just make it to college, and people thought it was a miracle that he was even offered a chance to play college football. He wanted nothing more than to go pro it was his lifelong goal to do that. He proved all the naysayers wrong when they told him he didn't have a future in any sport by getting better. He figured if he could play in college then he should have no problem turning pro. "I know I can make it to pro", Tyler said smiling. Nothing was going to stop him from living his dream.
It was evening now, Katie, and Sadie were getting ready for bed. They wanted to be on time for their classes in the morning. As they were getting ready they were chatting about their day. "Those guys were so cute", Katie said. "I know I think we should ask two of them out", Sadie said. Katie nodded, "We should", she agreed. "Katie this is going to be so much fun just like in the movies", Sadie said squealing.
"The parties, the boys, attending all the college sport games like hockey, and basketball", Katie said. "Then think about after college", Sadie said. "We're going to have a double wedding, live next door to each other, and raise our children together", Katie said as she thought about it.
"We're going to be by each other's side through it all, right?" Sadie said. "Right", Katie said. "Promise?" Sadie said. Katie giggled, "I promise Sadie. We're going to be there for each other through everything just like we always have done", Katie said. Sadie yawned as she covered up, "This is going to be like a whole new adventure for us", she said sleepily. "It's a new beginning for the both of us", Katie said just before she went to sleep.
A/N- Well that was a very long first chapter. This is seriously the longest first chapter that I have ever done. So did you guys enjoy it? Tell me in the comments. Like I said this is only the first chapter which means there will be more. Alejandro is not in the story right now but don't worry he will make his entrance later on. Get ready for some drama. I don't know if any college can offer somebody a scholarship just for being a celebrity but I thought it would be cool if I did it for this story. Plus, it was my only way for me to be able to put them all in the same college instead of them meeting up by chance, or something like that. By the way all chapters will be named after songs that I think just fit so well with each chapter. Read, and review guys. Best Days by Graham Colton.
