Aelin Ashryver Galathynius smiled as she looked up at the tall, red-brick building, which would be her home for the year. Gods, she was excited. Her dream was finally coming true.

The most athletic students from top high schools come here to compete against one-another. They spend their senior year here, so it's like high school with a twist. All competitors go through a series of challenges and at the end, whoever has the highest rank gets a full scholarship to the University of Notre Dame. And Aelin was determined to get the highest rank.

"Lin," her cousin, Aedion called out. "Little help here."

Aelin turned to find her cousin nearly collapsing from the amount of bags we was holding for her.

"Don't get the pink bags dirty!" Was all she said as she strolled in through the double doors and into the lobby. It was cozy, with a burning fireplace, couches, and the smell of hot chocolate, it was perfect for the upcoming blizzard. Aelin could already feel that many events were going to take place here. Aelin grinned, as another eruption of excitement took place inside of her.

"YO! LIN! GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE AND HELP ME WITH THESE BAGS!" Aedion finally yelled.

Aelin obliged and they both dropped the bags by Aelin's room. Then, with a peck on the cheek, and more overprotective remarks, Aedion left for his own hotel room and Aelin watched as he slung his backpack over his shoulder and dragged his suitcase behind him. Even though she would see often, she was glad to finally have him off her back, even if it was for a few hours. Aelin turned her body away from the window to find countless bags in her room, waiting to be unpacked. Well, these bags won't open themselves, she chided herself.

Aelin was sipping on some hot coco, enjoying the latest episode of, "The Flash" when she heard a sharp knock at her door. Aelin sighed as she got up from the warmth of her bed to open the door. She opened the door to find a girl with dark brown hair-almost black and green eyes. She had only a few, but big bags around her and looked at Aelin expectantly.

"Well... " She said.

"Umm... can I help you"

"Well, apparently this is my room"

"You must be my new roommate"

They both squealed in delight and Aelin said, "My name is Aelin. What's yours?"

"Lysandra, but please, call me Lys."

Aelin smiled this competition was going to be fun.

Author's note: Sorry this chapter is so short. I just needed to get the setting, and the plot set out. It's basically a high school AU with a twist. There's mainly going to be Rowaelin. (Since I'm on the beginning of Empire of Storms and I LOVE them) But it won't be fluff. There will be some plot twists, adventure, and humor.

Do you have some ideas for the some athletic challenges, if I see one I like, I'll use it. Review!
