The story so far:
Maddie Fitzpatrick has been working at the candy counter at the Tipton Hotel since she was 15 years old. It started out as just a job but along the way she made friendships that will last a life time. The hotel heiress London Tipton who started out as more of a "frienemy" than a friend but along the way they have become the best of friends. The hotel lounge singer Carrey Martin and her 2 boys Zack and Cody she started out as the boys' babysitter and trying to keep them out of trouble but she always seemed to be pulled into the boys' crazy schemes, even after the boys no longer needed a baby sitter Maddie still hung out with them because they were good friends and Carrey became like an older sister to Maddie (more than her actual older sister Genevieve ever was). The Tipton Hotel manager Mr. Moseby who started out as just another boss but after he loaned her some money to pay London back one time she knew that Mr. Moseby was a friend who really did care about her, she even became friends with his niece Nia who she didn't like at first because when she was gone for the first few weeks of her Senior Year in high school to help save Penguins in Antarctica Nia took her shift at the candy counter but they ended up working it out and they became good friends. Maddie also became friends with the Hotel handy man Arwin and the bellhop Estaban.
Now it's the start of Maddie's freshman year of college and she got into Tipton University which is the best school in Boston she can afford which is also the University that Mr. Tipton bought hoping London will someday go there (wigh will probably not happen). Maddie is happy that she was able to get in because things started not looking too good her junior year when her grades started to drop because of London who had to transfer to Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow kept getting her in trouble with Sister Dominick. Luckily her parents let her transfer to the Zack, Cody, and Nia's high school for her senior year so she could raise her grades sadly London also had to transfer to their school but since there were no mean nuns it didn't affect her. Maddie is most excited about moving out of her parent's apartment and moving into the dorms and no longer having to live with her parents, her granny, and her younger siblings especially her "bugger of a brother" Liam. Sadly Maddie has the start the year off with a few less friends. Zack and Cody convinced Carrey to let them go to school on the SS Tipton which they found out about when they went on Vacation a few months earlier. London who still has a long way to go before she graduated high school is also going to SS Tipton because it's the only school she can't get kicked out of because her dad owns the school. Mr. Moseby has also left because he got offered the job of managing the hotel part of the cruise ship and also so he could get away from Zack and Cody and because he left before them he has no idea they are also going to be on the ship.
September, 2008:
Maddie is in the middle of her shift at the candy counter counting down the minutes to when her shift ends and she can take her bags that she has packed and move into the dorms at Tipton University. Earlier that day Zack, Cody, and London left to attend school on the SS Tipton and she can't help but think how things are going to be different from here on out, the boys and London always made her job at the Tipton much more exciting and she can't think of a time she has worked here when the boys and London weren't at the Tipton.
"Hey Maddie!" the voice startled Maddie who was zoned out which usually happens during a slow day and near the end of her shift, but this time she was even more zoned out because she kept fantasizing what dorm life would be like. "I didn't mean to scare you, but I've got GREAT news!" it was Estebon the hotel bellhop.
"Oh no you didn't scare me, I was just thinking about how excited I am to move out of my parents' apartment and into the dorms!" Maddie has been bragging about moving out of her parents' apartment for weeks. "So what's great news?"
"I just found out that I've been promoted to night time manager!" Estebon said excitedly, which he should be he has been a bellhop far longer than Maddie has been the candy counter girl.
"Oh my gosh, that is great new!" Maddie said "But wait, what happened to Skippy" Maddie's tone changed from excited to confused, Maddie knew that Skippy the former night time manager wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed but never thought he would be fired.
"Oh, he got promoted to daytime manager" Estaban responded
"What!" Maddie said so loud that everyone in the lobby looked at her
"Don't worry; I am sure he'll do great!"
"I guess…"
"Hey guys!" Carey said while approaching the candy counter
"Hey Carey, did you hear that Estebon is the new night manager?" Maddie asked Carey
"Oh Estaban that is amazing!" Carey said to compliment Estebon
"Thank you, now I have to tell Dudley the great news!" Nobody really understands the relationship Estebon has with his pet chicken Dudley.
"So, how you feeling now that the boys are gone?" Maddie asked
"It's kind of said, but now I have the entire hotel room myself, I GET MY OWN BEDROOM!" Carey said in excitement, she has been sleeping on the pull out couch ever since she and the boys moved into the hotel.
"I wish my parents would show some emotion about me moving out today, the day I told them I was going to live in the dorms it was like they couldn't care less" Maddie said while crossing from behind the candy counter the lobby coffee table to refill the dinner-mint dishes.
"Well I am sure that they care they probably just have a funny way of showing it, they are you're parents after all" Carey insisted
"Yeah, I guess"
Maddie just got off bus at her residential hall, London Hall. Her goal for this year is to finally have enough money to finally buy a good used car; she's only been saving up for one ever since she got her license 2 years ago. Also Maddie could not beleive that she would have to livein a dorm named after got her room key from the front desk and somehow made it to her room while almost dropping one of her many suit cases (she had packed everything she owned, just in case her parents were going to sell anything she left behind), but just when she opened the door she tripped and she got buried in her luggage.
"Maddie?" said a voice that sounded very familiar to Maddie, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
After the suitcase that was covering her face was removed Maddie saw the person the voice was coming from, it was Mary Margaret, a former school mate of Maddie's from Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow. Mary Margaret grabbed Maddie's hand and helped her to her feet.
"Oh my gosh, Mary Margaret I haven't seen you in over a year!" Maddie said while embracing her
"Yeah not since you switched school senior year and left me all alone with Corrie," Mary Margaret said with resentment but in a friendly joking way. Corrie was another friend Maddie had at Our Lady who was kind of a ditzy but nothing close to London.
"Yeah… sorry about that," Maddie apologized
"She tried to let her parents transfer too because she wanted to be closer to London but it didn't happen," Corrie was obsessed with London and fawned all over her the entire time London attended Our Lady
"Yeah that girl has problems" Maddie said in agreement "So, who's our third roommate?" Maddie asked they were in one of the rooms with 3 beds.
"Hope no one's talking about me" it was Corrie
"Corrie, you're going here?" Maddie and Mary Margaret asked at the same time "Um, by any chance are you are roommate?" Mary Margaret added
"Sadly no, but my room is just down the hall!" Corrie then put her arms around Maddie and Mary Margaret and pulled them close to her "we are finally all together again; this is going to be just like high school!" Corrie exclaimed.
"Oh sorry I must be in the wrong room," It was Nia Mr. Moseby's niece; she said this because she saw 3 beds and 3 people in the room.
"Actually this might be the correct room, I'm just visiting" Corrie told Nia
"Oh, okay" Nia responded "Maddie!"
"Nia, you go here? I thought you left with Mr. Moseby because he's in charge of you," Maddie said confused.
"Well Uncle Marian decided to let me go to college, he thinks it will help me mature," Nia and Maddie had a lot in common except that Nia was kind of a bad seed and was placed in Moseby's care over a year ago.
"Wait you guys know each other?" Corrie asked.
"Yeah, Nia started working at the Tipton over a year ago around the same time I volunteered in Antarctica and when I came back we slowly became friends and we even went to high school together for Senior year," Maddie Explained
"Hi Nia, I'm Mary Margaret. Nice to meet you," Mary Margaret introduced.
"Likewise,"
"Well I'm going to pick up my books!" Corrie said while bouncing out of the room "I'm Corrie by the way," she said while popping her head back in the room before finally leaving.
"Oaky is it me or does that girl remind you of London?" Nia asked the two of them while crossing over to put her bags by the bunk bed that she would be sharing with Maddie, Mary Margaret had already claimed the single twin bed.
"Yeah but minus the rich daddy," Maddie laughed
"So how do the three of you know each other?" Nia asked
"Well Maddie went to high school with us at Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow freshman through junior year," Mary Margaret explained
There was a knock on their semi-opened door "Hello girls, I'm Kyle and I am your Residential Advisor and I just wanted to see if everything okay here?"
"Oh, everything fine," Maddie said in a flirty tone
"Okay, well let me know if you need anything my number is with the information you got at the front desk when you got your key," Kyle said before leaving
"Wow he is HOT!" Nia exclaimed
"Yeah he is," Maddie agreed
"Calm down ladies, I saw him first" Mary Margaret added
"Oh, if you saw him first then why didn't you say anything to him. Actually neither of you said anything, I did!" Maddie said as her voice got louder, just then the girls all started yelling over each other about who should get a shot with Kyle.
"Girls! Girls!" Maddie yelled to get them to stop "The only way we are going to settle this is if neither of us tries to get a shot with him,"
"Yeah I guess you're right" Mary Margaret agreed
"Agreed" Nia added
After the girls set up their dorm they all went their separate ways to get other school stuff together. While Maddie was at the book store (which is part of the student union) picking up some of her books she saw something that shocked her. While going through one of the shelves she heard a familiar voice talking to someone very flirtatiously, she looked over the shelf and it was Mary Margaret talking to Kyle. Maddie could not believe this, she had to put an end to it.
"Mary Margaret, I thought that was you. Nia and I need your help back at the dorm," Maddie said to Mary Margaret, there was really no help needed it was just ploy to get Mary Margaret away from Kyle
"Oh Maddie, I'm sure you and Nia can solve the problem without me," Mary Margaret insisted
"Oh just come!" Maddie said while pulling her arm around the shelf
"What were you doing talking to Kyle? I thought we agreed we weren't going to flirt with him," Maddie asked
"I wasn't flirting I was just talking to him about one of the classes I was taking, he took it a few years back…"
"Be careful, don't drool on the floor"
"I think you are just jealous because I got the opportunity to talk to him again you didn't," Mary Margaret said to insult Maddie
"Oh that is so juvenile, we are in college and college girls don't act like that," Maddie said "but I'm going to talk to him next!" Maddie said while running off.
Mary Margaret then followed Maddie. Kyle had already left the book store so Maddie had stopped running to look around the student union. Mary Margaret came from behind her and also looked around. The both then froze in their places. Nia started chatting Kyle up by the entrance doors of the Student Union.
"Follow my lead," Maddie told to Mary Margaret "Nia we've been looking all over for you, I found Mary Margaret so now we can go back to the dorm and take care of that thing,"
"What thing?"
"Oh just come!" both Maddie and Mary Margaret said while pulling Nia's arms. "Okay obviously I was wrong before when I said we should all forget about him, so now… EVERYONE WOMAN FOR HERSELF!"
Nia ran out the door thinking maybe he left the student union, Maddie and Mary Margaret ran to opposite part of the Student Union. The girls ended up spending the next hour running around campus in search of Kyle. All the girls ended up in the lobby of their residential hall, they saw Kyle by the front desk looking through papers on his clipboard.
"Hey guys!" Corrie came out of nowhere and blocking their path to Kyle "did you guys get one these, it a flyer to – "
"NOT NOW CORRIE!" the girls yelled at her
"FINE!" Corrie cried while running away
They looked over to where Kyle is and he was talking to some other girl, she appeared to be another university employee. Kyle then pulled her close and kissed her.
"NOOOO!" the girls all yelled sounding defeated, they then all collapsed on a conveniently placed couch in the lobby.
The girls went over to the café located in the student union both looking and feeling exhausted and sore. They are all drinking bottles of water and are still short of breath.
"I can't believe he has a girlfriend," Mary Margaret said
"I can't believe that I ran all over campus," Nia added
"I can't believe that we let our hormones get eh better of us and fought over a guy" Maddie added "We are in college now we shouldn't be acting like this, especially do each other because we are roommates"
"Yeah, I'm sorry guys" Nia apologized
"Yeah, me too" Mary Margaret agreed
"Let's make a pact right here and right now that we will not fight over a guy ever again," Maddie then put her hand in the middle of the table
"We will not fight over a guy ever again," Nia and Mary Margaret said at the same time while also putting their hand in the middle of the table.
Just then the three of them noticed a good looking blond haired blue eyed boy coming their way, they all thought maybe he had interest in one of them.
"Hey, you girls live in London Hall right?" the guy said the all had a sigh of disappointment because they realized he wasn't interested in any of them
"Yes we do," responded Mary Margaret
"Well I live there too and wanted to give you these; it's a flyer invitation for a party that's happening tonight. It's kind of a welcome to Tipton University party for everyone in London Hall" The guy said while giving them the flyers
"Well, we'll be there!" Nia said happily, Nia was never one to turn down a party.
"Okay, I'll see you ladies there. I'm Derek by the way," he said while leaving
"I can't believe we almost let it happen again," Maddie said while laughing, the other girls joined in with her.
"Oh well, at least we get to go to a cool party." Nia said happily
"Yeah, this must be what Corrie was trying to tell us about when we ran into her in the lobby," Mary Margaret added
"Come on let's get ready for the party," Maddie said while getting up from her seat
"So let me get this straight you guys chased him all over campus!" Corrie asked the girls while talking to them at the refreshment table at the party.
"Yeah…" they all said with shame.
"Well it's good to know you aren't mad at me!" Corrie said with a smile
"Hey, you guys made it!" Derek said with a smile
"Yes we did," Maddie responded "This is a great party, did you plan this all yourself?"
"No, I had some help from your friend Corrie here," Derek answered
"Corrie you helped put all of this together?"
"Yeah, and if you guys weren't busy chasing Kyle all over campus you could've helped too," Corrie replied
"You chased the RA all over campus?" Derek asked
"Yeah it's a LONG story!" Nia answered
"Yeah you don't want to know," Mary Margaret added
"You know what guys, I think this going to be a pretty fun and interesting year," Maddie said.
