Note: I love all you guys so much. I just had to push out the next chapter. Enjoy and review.
Scott sighed as he waited for his best friend to finish talking to whoever was hitting on her. Scott was anything but social and it pissed him off to no end when Dusk made him go out to parties. He sighed. He had so much to do. He should be moving into his dorm room, not waiting for Dusk to give him back his car keys. He watched his best friend of two years walk over to him and smile.
"Scott! Come party!" said begged. "This may be the last single night you have."
"You say that all the time." Scott said to the goth looking chick in front of him. Dusk smirked as she pushed her reddish, black hair out of her face.
"That's because I sense your true love is very close to finding you."
Scott stared down at his best friend. She was shorter than him by a good foot without her heels. She normal didn't like shoes without heels, but today she wanted to change her look a little. Dusk was a pale young woman with long hair past her shoulders. She dressed in dark hoes and had this look about that just dared anyone (and everyone) to just try and mess with her. She was a fighter and often started fights. Scott and her got along because of their shared hatred for most people and their shared love of hurting people that pissed them off. In some ways, Dusk could be compared to Dawn. Scott thought to himself. Dusk was weird and creepy. She said odd things and talked weird. She didn't read auras, which is great. She said she couldn't read them though she wished she had that power. Dusk instead had the power to see the future, or so she said. She also said she could see the bonds between people. Dusk smiled at Scott
"Come on fairy girl." Scott pouted. "I don't wanna be here anymore." Scott smirked as he thought about the best way to get her moving. "Besides, who wants to be around people who think your a Gwen wannabe?"
"What!" Dusk screamed. "As if I would want to be so lame." Dusk hated when be compared her to Gwen from Total Drama. If Dusk was going to be compared than they should compare her the right way. Dusk thought of herself as a cross between Heather, Dawn, and possible Joe or Eva, but not really. Dusk picked the last two because her love and eagerness to fight someone (anyone). "I'm so much better than her."
"Yeah, sunshine. You are." Scott said as he started walking towards his car. It was most likely too late to move into his day tonight. He would have to do it tomorrow after his first two classes.
"Ya staying over my place again?" Dusk asked as she skipped to his side.
"Like I have anywhere else to stay."
"Cool," Dusk said. "I like when you're over. It's like having a brother there in case someone tries to hurt me."
"You do know that you could just hurt the guy without me there." It was true. Scott once saw her scare off a bear with a glare.
"Yea, but it's funnier watching you beat someone up for me." Dusk said as she punched the air.
"I am so glad I haven't met the rest of your family." Scott said as Dusk throw him his keys.
"Yea, you say that know, but I have this cute sister that I know you'd eat right up." Dusk said as Scott opened the car doors. Dusk enter the car as Scott snorted.
"Yea, like dating your sister would be the best idea ever." Scott stated as Dusk pulled on her seat belt.
"Yea, cuz it would be such a big thing if you became my brother-in-law." Dusk said rolling her eyes.
"I'm just saying I'm a jerk." Scott said as he turned on the car.
"More like ass, bastard."
"All the more reason to not date your sister."
"You just still in love with that chick you met before we became friends." Dusk said as she rolled down the window on her side of the car.
"Come on Dusk!" Scott scream as they hit the highway. "It's freaking cold out and I'm not still in love with her." Scott thought over what he said. "Wait! I was never in love with her!"
"Yea, sure you didn't. You just compare her with every girl since her." Dusk laughed.
"I do not!"
"What was her name anyway? You never told me." Dusk pouted her dark red lips. "It's been over two years of our friendship and still you don't trust me with her name."
"Cuz you'd find her and try to to set us up!" Scott screamed. "And I don't want her that way! Or anyway!"
"Scott, your going to miss our exit." Dusk sighed out. "And you know your not to blame for what happened to your mother. You have every right to be happy and be with someone."
"What? How does that have anything to do with this?" Scott said as he made his way towards the exit.
"Everything."
"Can we not going into this?" Scott asked knowing that he couldn't take her being right again, not that she had been so far.
"Okay, we can drop this." Dusk rolled up the window and turned on the heat. "I'm cold." She stated when Scott gave her a look.
"Cuz you had the window down for most the the trip."
"I needed air."
"Whatever." Scott said as he made a left turn. "I need rest so don't bother me when he get to your place."
"Can I get a new teddy bear?" Dusk asked as she played with her hair.
"Maybe." Scott said as he thought about how much longer it would take to get to her home. 20 minutes at the most. Thank God! Scott was getting sick of Dusk.

Scott and Dusk enter Dusk's home. He made his way to the room that was setup for him. He throw himself onto "his" bed and closed his eyes. He was thankful to Dusk. She gave him a place to stay when he had no where else to go. She listened to him and didn't call him trash. She believed in him. Dusk had given him the chance to follow his dreams. When his grandfather died a year ago, Dusk had given him a place to stay because they both knew his father wouldn't. When Scott was failing history class because of his learn disorder that he couldn't get treated for, Dusk had helped to find a way to make him recall the information. Of course, Scott had been there for Dusk too. Scott had helped her in fights. He had helped her in art class because she had no skills in drawing. He had helped her to find her prom dresses and fix things around her home.
Dusk and him never had sex or any wish to do anything sexual. In fact they never even kissed. They had known from the start that they were more like brother and sister. Their classmates didn't believe them though so Scott and Dusk didn't date much in high school. It was fine by Scott since he didn't like people and Dusk didn't care much for being with one person for very much. She didn't believe she had found her one yet and so didn't want to tie herself down.
Scott sighed as he tossed and turned. He cursed at Dusk for her stupid talking in the car. Now, all he could think about was that girl him and Dusk had been talking about. It was stupid to think about someone he hadn't seen in two years and would never see again. On one hand he was glad. He didn't want to ruin the image he had in his mind. On the other hand, he wished he had at least tried to get with her. He sighed knowing that he was not going to have enough sleep for tomorrow. Whatever. Like he needed to use his brain tomorrow anyway. First day of classes was always bullshit.
Scott's POV
Fuck! I had that dream about her again or as Dusk likes to call her "the chick that shall never be named cuz Scott doesn't trust me." It wasn't that I didn't trust her. It was that I didn't want her to set me up with someone that could clearly do way better than me. Why would I wanna ruin something as perfect and sweet as that girl? Not that I had feelings for that person or anything.
I throw on whatever looked clear on the floor knowing that Dusk will most likely break into my room to try to find her new teddy bear. Dusk hated messes. She was gonna end up clearing my room. I had stopped caring about this lack of hers for my private space since I needed a clear room anyway. I thought about a shower, but whatever. How the hell would I be tryin to look good for? I looked fine enough to get through the day. Besides, I could shower after moving my things into my dorm.
I picked up one of the boxes on the floor of my room and made my way downstairs. I would only take the basic crap I needed today and knowing Dusk she would either bring other shit randomly to my dorm, that I would end up needing, or I would come back to escape my roommate and get my other crap I needed.
Once my car was packed with the three boxes I had planned to take, I left a note on the kitchen table stating things that I needed Dusk to buy for my odd jobs. I grabbed a can of Monster to keep me up and left for class. I knew Dusk would yell at me for skipping out on goodbyes, but she couldn't bring her ass out of bed before 10 a.m. and I would have missed my first two classes by the time miss solar princess bothered to get up.

The drive to school was fast and when I got to class I felt like one of those loser who always came to class early. I didn't bother to bring any books today... and I kinda forgot them all at Dusk's place. Good thing I had tomorrow to go back and get them. I watched my classmates slowly coming in and I started to rank the girls coming in. Most of them seemed cute, but Dusk would've shot them all day. I sighed it felt weird not having Dusk in class with me. Just before the start of class, this girl with really hot legs came in and when she turned to sit in front of me I was fucking shocked as hell. Holy Shit! That chick looked like Dawn. I let out a chuckle that the weird way fate was working.
After class was over, I wait until Dawn started to leave before going up to talk to her. I took hold of her arm and I was 90% sure I would get a slap. She turned her head towards me with this kinda of hot pissed off face that just made me smirk. Her eyes went wide and the next thing I knew she had pushed me backwards and started running off like a monster, or Izzy, was after her. Wait! I'm strongly sure that Izzy is a monster. So, yea. Same thing. What the hell was Dawn's problem? I didn't even say two words before she treated me like crap.
I slowly picked my self off the floor cuz although Dawn didn't look strong she had some force behind her push. It was kinda like how Dusk didn't like that she could break a brick wall with a punch, but she could if she was mad enough. Though it was cool as hell, I just brushed myself off and acted like it was whatever. I walked slowly towards my next class. Dusk had made me come to campus to find all my classes with her so that I knew where everything was. She also order pizza from all the near by pizza places so we could find the best one to order from. I texted her as I made my way into my classroom to get the number of the one we bothed liked. It would be a nice peace offering to whoever was my dorm mate before I started off with my ground rules.
I looked up from my phone and saw moonbeam seated close by. I didn't know why but I really wanted to make things right. I didn't understand why she had pushed me a way but I could at least try to smooth things over with her. It would be a waste to have such a cute, although weird, chick be made at me without me even putting on my jerk charm yet. I chuckled at that thought. So, far only Dusk had found my jerkness charming.
She tried her head around to face the front of the classroom after she fished out some books that honestly I should've had too. What followed next was anything but smoothing things over. We got into a small fight thanks to me pride being easily wounded. I couldn't help it. Dawn was acting like my father. She was acting like it me being in college was like seeing a three headed man walking about. Maybe, I really was wasting my time trying to better myself. I ignored the fact that Moonbeam was sitting next to me and after class was over I walked swiftly a way so that I hadn't need to talk to her.

I brought up all my shit from the car to my new room. It was a nice enough room. I opened the door and noticed that a man was reading a text book on his bed. He looked up from his book with a bored look and I swear I had seen him from somewhere before. I left to bring up my other boxes and before entering the room again I order a lager meat lovers pizza. I walked into our room and started to unpack.
"Hey, man." I said to the guy still reading his book. "Names Scott and yours would be?"
"Noah." He said annoyed that I even had the nerve to talk to him.
"Noah," God, even that name sounded like I knew it from somewhere. "I ordered pizza and some soda. You're welcome to have some."
"Thanks." Noah stated as he took a real good look at me. "You don't seem as bad as you were on TV."
"Yea, and you seem just as antisocial as you did on TV." I said even before it hit me that this was Noah from Total Drama. Shit! The guy looked like he had hit a gym since than cuz he wasn't all skin and bones anymore.
"I try." Noah stated as he got up from his bed. "Need any help."
"Nah, I'm good." I really was. I had almost finished unpacking. "I may bring more stuff later on this week like a mini fridge. I would like to say some ground rules though."
"Oh," Noah stated with a raised brow and crossed arms.
"Yea, if your bring a person over to fuck let me know so that I could get whatever I need out. I don't if it's hot twin sisters or some guy you make in an alley way. I don't want to see you doing any of that stuff. I'll like you know not to come back if I bring a girl over that I plan to fuck. So, yea whatever. Next! No, going into the bathroom if I'm showering or pissing. I don't care if you're gonna piss yourself. If I'm in the shower don't go in. I don't want you to see me naked."
"Same." Noah stated. "Also, if a crazy red headed chick comes looking for me I'm not here." Noah added as he sat back down on his bed and watched me put my shit a way. I heard my phone ring and started to make my way towards the door.
"I'ma get the pizza. Be back in a flash."
"I'll be waiting." Noah said as if he really couldn't care less.
I brought the pie up along with the two bottles of soda that I order. Noah thanked me as he took a slice even before I put the box down. It seemed so far that we would get along well enough. I hadn't come to college to party and Noah seemed far from the party kind of guy. I didn't have to worry about him bring too many girls over (or guys) cuz Noah didn't seem like he would do that. So, far so good.
"So, did you and that weird chick have a thing for each other?" Noah asked as he went for another slice.
"Dawn?" I watched him nodded at the name. "Nah, we didn't have anything going on. Why?"
"No reason. Just Izzy talking nonsense, I guess."
"Is Izzy the crazy red head your hiding from?" I asked unsure why she would be chasing him.
"Yea, she seemed to have a crush on me last time I saw her." Noah breathed out.
"Thought she was with the fat guy."
"She was but she left him because he wasn't as fun as he used to be. It seemed towards the end of their relationship he got a little too control for her to stand. I don't know what really happened. Owen won't talk to me since she left him."
"Hold that thought." I said jumping up from off the floor. "I gotta take a piss." I shot towards the bathroom and I swear I could hear Noah mouthing off about how he didn't need to know that much. Whatever. The man needed to lighten up. I unzipped my pants and started to think over what Noah had said a while ago. He had asked if I had liked Dawn. Of course, I had lied to him. I had a small crush on for a while during the show, but I doubt she even cared about me. No one ever cared about me before Dusk came into my life. My dad hated me and mom was...
Before I could finish the thought someone had opened the door to the Jack and Jill bathroom. I let out a curse as I tried to finish pissing so I could zip up. I zipped up just in time to see the shocked look of Dawn. Her face was super red. "What the hell are you doing here?" I yelled out without meaning to.
"I...I...I live here." Dawn chocked out.
"Shit. Really?" I asked like a idiot.
"Yea... you?" Dawn asked her eyes still wide with shock.
"I live," I said pointing towards the door towards my room. "right there."
"Oh, okay." Dawn said trying to make sense of what was going on. "I... I'll talk to you later."
"Yea," I didn't know what else to say and neither did she so she shut her door and I went to wash my hands. Fuck! This was going to be a weird year.
