Chapter 1

*Teddy's POV*

I flipped open my camcorder, sitting on my bed, I began.

"So, Charlie, I know I said that I wasn't going to do any more video diaries after I left for college. But, it's just hard to let go of something you've been doing for almost five years." I started. "So, this is my new dorm room," I panned the camera around the room. "I'm in New Haven, now, starting at Yale soon! So, a new big step for me, Charlie! Plus, I'm back with Spencer again! My life's pretty complicated at the moment, so wish me some good luck, Charlie!" I closed the camera. It wasn't the best video diary, and I hate to think I'm running out of ideas, but I guess, what happens, happens. I turned the camcorder over in my hands. The same red camcorder I'd had for so many years. I don't know what I'd do without it.

I stood up from my bed. I hadn't seen Spencer since I'd moved here to New Haven. Yale was a big school and I had yet to discover what was in most of the buildings. Spencer had texted me to say that he was coming to visit this weekend so we could hang out. My phone went off.

"Hey, T," I read. Oh, it was Ivy.

"Hi, Ivy," I texted back.

"How's Yale?" She asked.

"I haven't gone to any classes yet," I told her.

"Oh," she replied. "Whatever." I grinned, I could tell Ivy was embarassed. I put away the phone. I walked over to my mini-fridge and got a bottle of water. Opening it, I heard a knock at the door. I went over and opened it.

"Hey, Victor," I greeted him.

"Hi, Teddy," he replied. "Like it here?"

"Yeah, it's a nice school," I replied. "Come in, there's no point in you just standing out in the corridor."

"Thanks," he said. "Say, Teddy, do you know if we take any of the same courses?"

"Not sure, but what are the chances, I'm taking courses related to journalism, you have no intrest in that do you?"

"No, I suppose you're right." We walked over to the chairs next to my bed and sat down. It's a bit of a pain, not having a roommate, but, whatever works.

"I'm glad you came by, it was getting kind of lonely, here, by myself."

"Yeah, really. I don't understand why you don't have a roomate."

"Oh, I know why. The last occupants were rowdy and the other bed broke and collapsed." Victor gave me a skeptical look and rolled his eyes.

"How do people like that get into Yale in the first place?"

"I know, right!" We talked for a little longer before Victor had to go and I was once again alone in my dorm. At least Spencer was coming to visit this weekend, so I wouldn't be overly lonely. When it comes to the Duncans, we're either one extreme or the other. I'm here by myself and my parents have PJ, Gabe, Charlie, Toby and now Emmett. Talk about a difference. My phone rang.

"Hey, Spencer," I said, picking it up.

"Hey, Teddy," he said, his voice carrying me off into a fantasy. "How's it going?" I snapped out of my trance.

"Good! Good," I finally said, after a few seconds of silence.

"That's good," he said. "I'm heading to New Haven now, so it'll be too late to meet tonight, but tomorrow we can hang out all day."

"Alright, sounds good," I said. "So how's B.I.P.A.?"

"Pretty awesome school," Spencer replied. "I'm doing well, too."

"Good for you," I said.

"I better go, I'd like to get to the hotel by ten," Spencer said.

"See you tomorrow," I said, and out of habit of talking to my mom I accidentally added. "Love you." I blushed bright red and time seemed to stand still. I didn't know what Spencer was going to think and I was completely speechless.

"Love you, too, Teddy," Spencer said, and I heard him hang up. I hung up the phone and let out the breath I didn't realize I'd been holding in one long squeal. I reached for my phone again and quickly texted Ivy the good news.
