Summary: Katelyn and Austin Westlake are sent to like with their grandparents after parents have financial trouble. Grandparents ship them off to Waverly Academy. Austin is reluctant, but Katelyn is ecstatic. Her boyfriend, Tyler Najimy, had been sent there about 6 months ago, half-way through Somophore year. This will be the first time she'll have talked to him in person since them. But once she sees him, how long will the happy high last?

chapter 2

----------

After having a few meaningless conversations and finding the luggage that he had shipped to the school the week before, Kyle Westlake set off to find his room, number 312. Once he found it, Kyle tentatively pushed it open and stepped inside. There was a boy sitting at a desk with his back facing him, and Kyle could hear a shower running in the bathroom. When the door slammed the boy at the desk jumped and turned around. "Who are you?" he asked.

"Kyle Westlake. I just started here."

"Oh, my name is Easy Walsh. I'm a senior."

"I'm a senior."

"What's the other guy?" he asked, jerking his head towards the washroom.

"Junior."

"Alright."

"Cool."

"I guess."

After a few minutes of awkward silence Kyle sat on the only empty bed and shoved his suitcases under his bed. He didn't feel like unpacking. "Where're you from?" Easy asked, surprising Kyle.

"Oh..Westchester, I guess. My younger sister and I just got shipped up here by our grandparents."

"Are you Kate-" Easy began before Tyler stepped out of the bathroom, fully clothed with dry hair.

"Easy, who are you-...Kyle!" Tyler's mouth dropped.

"Tyler!"

"You two know each other?" Easy asked, stretching as he stood up.

Tyler nodded as he sat down at his desk, pulling some socks on. Great. Rooming with his girlfriend's protective older brother is just what he always wanted. "Yeah. Kyle's Katelyn's brother, remember?"

"I was gonna say. You kinda look like her."

Kyle rose his eyebrows. "Everyone says that. Although I don't see it. Whatever." he shrugged, standing up and wandering over to the window to survey the campus. He could see Dumbarton, and began to wonder what his sister was doing.

"What time does visiting hour start?" Kyle asked randomly.

"In like, 5 minutes." Tyler answered awkwardly.

"Good." Kyle said, turning and heading for the door.

"Where're you going, man?" Easy asked.

"To see-"

"Katelyn." Tyler finished as he stood up. "We're going over to visit them too. Easy's going out with one of her room-mates, Jenny."

"Oh. Okay."

"Yeah man, but let's wait for Brandon." Easy said. After a bizarre year last year Easy and Brandon called a truce. Their ''fight'' had started when Easy stole Callie Vernon from Brandon Bunchanon 2 falls ago. After Easy and Callie broke up, and once he started going with Jenny, the boys called a truce, and Brandon and Callie got together again.

"Brandon?"

"Yeah, going out with Callie, another one of Katelyn's room-mates."

"How many are there?" Kyle asked.

"3. Brett Messerschmidt is the third, but she doesn't have a boyfriend anymore, I donno what happened there. He went to St. Lucius anyway."

The three roommates stood talking for a few more minutes before Brandon showed up. "Ready guys?"

They all nodded and made their way across the field. "By the way, man, this is Kyle, Katelyn's brother." Tyler told Brandon, who nodded.

"I know. Callie instant messaged me and told me all abotu Katelyn like, 10 minutes ago. That's why I'm 10 minutes late."

Kyle paused. "What'd she say?"

"Oh, nothing really. Just about her and Tyler and stuff. Said she had a brother that came and dropped her off, who's name was Kyle. So I naturally assumed."

"Okay."

Girl's dorm

"Oooh! I see them coming, girls!" Callie squealed. She always got giddy about boys.

Katelyn jumped up and ran to the window. "Finally!" There they were. And..Kyle? Kyle was with them too.

Callie squinted her eyes. "Your brother is there too."

"Yeah, I totally forgot he said he'd be coming for visiting hours."

Brett stepped up to the window. "He's probably rooming with them, and they told him all about coming. I mean, guys are worse gossips than girls you know."

The girls nodded in agreement as Jenny sidled up beside them, her curly hair spilling over her shoulders. "You know, your brother is very cute. Does he have a girlfriend?"

Callie stared at her. "You have a boyfriend!"

Jenny held her hands up. "Hey, hey, I'm just saying."

Katelyn tied her silky hair up in a high perky ponytail and took off her shrug, leaving her white tank top on. "Uh, no, not that I know of anyway." she said as she pulled a bottle of hot pink nail polish from her Louis Vuitton cosmetics case that her nanna had given her for her 15th birthday and began to paint her nicely shaped nails.

A few minutes later the boys were let inside. They arrived at the girls' room loudly and burst inside. "Hey girls." Easy said in his gravelly voice, taking a seat beside Jenny.

"Hey, Easy." everyone but Katelyn chorused. She still felt kind of awkward. But everything was fine once Tyler sat beside her. Until Kyle sat on the other side.

Tyler took her hand and stroked it with his thumb. "How're you doing so far, Kate?" he asked. Katelyn parted her glossy lips in a smile.

"Not too bad."

"Yeah, Kate." Kyle said, leaning over a bit. "You settling in alright? No one's giving you a hard time. Not getting harassed?"

Jenny, Callie, Easy, and Brandon shared glanced that read nothing less that ''Ooh, AWKWARD!". Katelyn nodded. "Yeah, everyone's real nice to me and stuff. It's fine, Kyle, I promise."

"Good. If anyone starts bothering you, or is mean, you let me know." he said before settling back against the wall. Katelyn fixated on a piece of yellow fuzz from Brett's cashmere blanket that was on the floor. This was just great.

About 5 minutes of awkward silence later, Kyle stood up. "Well, I'm gonna go back to the room and unpack before dinner. I'll meet you in there, Katelyn." he said, yawning and glaring at Tyler as he leaned down to hug her. Katelyn let go of Tyler and hugged him back.

"Okay. I'll see you in there." Katelyn said quietly.

"Alright, see you in a little bit."

Kyle nodded and left the room. Katelyn promptly buried her head against Tyler's shoulder. "I'm sorry, Tyler. Ever since this little harassing issue a few months ago, Kyle has always told me that if you hurt me he's going to kill you. He doesn't mean it literally, of course. Kyle's not that mean. He's just- way too over-protective."

"Harassing issue?" Tyler asked, curious. Ever Jenny and Easy, and Callie and Brendan, who had all been making out on Callie's bed, perked up to listen. Brett slid over in her computer chair.

"You got harassed?" she asked.

Katelyn nodded. "Yeah. I was walking home from school. It was May. Late May, early June. Anyway, yeah. You remember Jordan Myers? Well he got transferred into my gym class second semester after he got kicked out of his. He was always hitting on me, making me uncomfortable. I told him to stop, that I had a boyfriend, but he never did. One day after school when I got off the bus, so did he, but I didn't notice at first that he was following me. All of a sudden someone wrapped an arm around me. I turned and it was him. I told him to let go, but he refused, he just kept holding on. He has octopus hands, which made it even worse. I started to cry. I was terrified of what he would do. I was trying to pry him off me for almost 25 minutes when I heard someone run up behind me and I felt him being lift from me. I turned and Kyle had him on the ground, knocking him senseless. Kyle told me that if anyone harassed me in any way, shape, or form again he'd severly hurt them."

Everyone just kind of looked around uncomfortably at each other. "Jordan Myers did that?" Tyler asked, incrediously. He looked like he wanted to kill someone.

"Yeah, it was him. Sorry, Tyler." Katelyn frowned sadly. She knew how much it upset Tyler. Jordan had been his best friend for 10 years. And for him to do that to his girlfriend? It was too much.

"No, no Kate. It's okay. It's not your fault he said in a whisper. A low, dangerous whisper. "I just think it's time my old friend comes and visits me."

Katelyn turned, looking alarmed. "No, no please. I don't want any trouble. It's over, Tyler. Please."

Tyler ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "Fine."

"Good." Katelyn smiled. She couldn't believe this was only her first day being here, and so much had happened.

"Anyone want some ice-cream?" Jenny asked out of nowhere as she hopped up and retrieved a few pints of Ben&Jerry's from the mini-fridge.

Everyone just stared at her.

"Whaaat?" she whined. "Do you want some or not, guys?"

Everyone nodded. "Sure." they said.

Jenny passed out spoons and plopped down between Easy and Brandon again. She shared her pint with Brandon, Callie, and Easy, while Katelyn, Brett, and Tyler shared the other. They ate until it was gone.

"Well what do you guys want to do now?" Callie asked, patting her stomach.

Katelyn looked at the clock. "Well, we still have like, half an hour of visiting time left. Want to just go for a walk or something?"

"Nah. I have a better idea. Let's play truth or dare." Brett grinned mischeviously, looking at Tyler, who gulped nervously. He hated that game and everyone knew it.

"Okay!" Katelyn and Jenny and Callie nodded vigourously. Easy and Brandan looked at Tyler, who was staring at the carpet.

"Hey, Ty, you gonna play?" Easy asked.

"Uh..no." he answered.

Katelyn blinked at him. "Why not?"

"Because. I hate answering questions."

"Then just do dares, silly. C'mon." she gave him a kiss on the cheek and tugged his sleeved til he sat on the floor beside her.

"Everyone playing? Good." Jenny grinned.

"Alright. Who wants to go first?" Callie asked.

"How about the newbie?" Brett said, pointing towards Katelyn.

"Err..Okay!" Callie said.

"Katelyn. Truth or Dare?" Brett asked.

"Dare." she said immediately.

"Okay then, I dare you to...give Tyler a lap dance."

Katelyn turned scarlett. "Brett.." she faltered, as embarassed as can be.

"Fine, fine, fine. I'll think of a different one if Ms. Westlake is to embarassed to do that..in front of us."

Katelyn started to rip pieces out of the carpet, her embarassed habit. "Alright."

"Oh! I got a good one! It's not too embarassing, and it doesnt have to last very long." Jenny said.

"What is it?" Callie asked.

"Well, you know how every usually embarasses their new roomies infront of the whole school at the Black Saturday games?"

Callie and Brett nodded, while Katelyn snapped to attention. "What!"

Jenny went on, ignoring her. "Well, since Katelyn seems really nice and there are no rooms going around about her being a slut, I don't think she should have to do anything sexually suggestive, like I did." Callie and Brett snickered, rememberin Jenny's inpromptu cheer at her first Black Saturday.

"So, I vote that in the middle of prayer, while everything is quiet, she jumps up, does a jumping jack, and sits back down."

Katelyn blanched. "Aww, man!"

"Trust us, Katelyn, if you don't do that your going to get it at Black Saturday. You're the only newbie in this dorm. Do this now, and I'll do your cheer at Black Saturday."

"Yeah, Cal's an attention-whore." Brett snorted with laughter.

Katelyn sighed. "Fine."

Easy coughed. "I hate to break this up, but that took like, 20 minutes. We have to go put our uniforms on boys, let's go."

After quick goodbyes the boys and girls hurriedly put on uniforms. They each put on different variations of white tops underneath their maroon waverly blazers. They all pulled on the regulation navy skirt and maroon and navy striped tie. Katelyn pulled her hair out of her ponytail and let it hang down her back. "Ready for your first dinner, Katelyn?" Brett asked as they left and locked the room.

"Yes, I guess I am." Katelyn replied, fidgeting nervously with the tip of her tie.
