Ok, I guess this wasn't that much longer then the previous chapter. But don't worry it'll get longer! Gradually heh. And in case no one noticed, I will be updating this story EVERY Thursday!

The door swung opened with a loud thud when it hit the wall. "Club sign ups today!" A male teen with stuck up brown hair and classy glasses shouted at them.

Cole and Jay both stood up, and rushed towards the door.

The other teen had already taken off, making his way downstairs. As they ran, Jay looked to Cole. "Hey, uh, Cole…"

"Yeah?" The teen seemed more calm.

Smiling at the quick change in attitude, Jay asked, "Who was that? I saw him when I was registering but never caught his name."

"That's Griffin Turner, he's a junior here," Cole answered him, walking down the stairs swiftly, with Jay trailing behind him.

Once they made it onto the main campus, Cole started to take off without Jay.

"Wait! Cole!" Jay cried out and caught up with him. "I thought you were a freshman like me? Do you even know where you're going?"

"Yeah, I'm going to sign up for some clubs. What else?"

"But…"

Cole halted to a stop and looked at Jay. "But what? You wondering how I'm 'smarter' at this then you?"

"Uh… Yes?"

"I got a tour from Griffin when I got here," he told Jay as they started walking again. "Didn't you join a tour group before coming into the room?"

"I think I did… I probably wasn't paying attention."

"Well, good luck finding your way around the school then," Cole said as he waved Jay off.

Jay stared into the large group of students. They were everywhere, and Jay didn't know where to go first. Should he just walk through? People were sure to try and get him to sign up in their clubs, but Jay wasn't good with getting out of situations like that.

"Yeah, right. Like he'd actually lea-" He looked back to where Cole was standing before. Only problem was, he wasn't there. "Ugh! Why does that guy hate me so much?" He said through tight teeth and slowly began walking into the crowd.

He needed to find Cole, he was the only person Jay actually knew aside from seeing a blur of the junior, Griffin. Man that guy was fast, it felt as if he wasn't even at the dorm door for even a second.

"Join the Fencing Club! You might not get it at first, but you'll eventually get the point!"

"Have a problem you can't solve? Well then join the Math Club!"

"Come join the Guitar Club!"

"Aw, come on Jacob! Where's the pun in that?"

"Want to feel part of a community? We do volunteering work every weekend! Come join!"

Jay tried to ignore all their invites, though some of the clubs he passed by sounded fun. But, no. He wasn't going to sign up for anything until he found Cole.

"Cole?" He shouted into the crowd, pushing through people. "Dirtclod?" Jay sighed to himself when calling out the insulting nickname didn't do anything.

He thought it would catch Cole's attention. It could've even been embarrassing for him, but apparently not.

Until a hand grabbed his shoulder, causing Jay to flinch. He yelped when he was flipped around to face the person who had just randomly grabbed him. Jay squeaked one last time when he met Cole's angry eyes.

"Don't ever shout that name in public? Got it?"

Swallowing, Jay nodded slowly with a quirky smile.

"Want to join the book club?"

Jay turned his head the source of the voice. He noticed a girl with short black hair and soft brown eyes, holding a pile of flyers. She was talking to someone else who was dressed in mostly all white, and had blond hair that seemed to stick up naturally.

Jay tugged on Cole's shirt.

"Gah, what is it, Jay?" He looked to the shorter male and followed where Jay's finger pointed.

"You want to join the book club?" Jay asked him.

Considering his love of books, Cole shrugged. "Hm, I guess so."

With that, Jay pulled Cole over to the stall where the girl had still been talking. He couldn't take his eyes off of her.

She's so gorgeous… and her eyes are so pretty… heh, I can't stop staring, hopefully no one's looking. Oh and even her voice is amazing… well from what I can hear. I have to -

"Hey Jay… earth to Jay..." Cole said, snapping his fingers in front of his roommate. Had he really been away from reality for that long? He saw that Cole was holding a clipboard and a pencil, looking at Jay oddly.

"Did you sign yet?" Jay asked.

"Uh, yeah. Why?"

Jay grabbed the board from Cole and quickly scribbled his name underneath Cole's. Once he was finished, he grabbed Cole's wrist and began pulling him far away from the booth.

Cole put down his foot and pulled his arm away from Jay. "Want to explain to me why the rush? And why did you sign up? Now I'm stuck in not zero, but one club with you! You don't even like reading!"

Jay processed Cole's words then instantly began freaking out. "Oh my gosh! Why did I join the book club?! I'm so stupid!"

"Yeah, you are," Cole snickered softly.

"It takes me forever to finish one whole book!" Jay continued, "You gotta help me! I just wanted to see her-"

"What?"

Jay stopped pacing and glared at Cole. "You didn't hear that did you?"

"Her? You mean the girl who was in charge of the club?" Jay nodded slowly. "Jay, that girl you apparently like is Nya. She's Kai's sister, and from what Lloyd told me-"

"Lloyd?"

"He was in my little tour group, anyways, Kai can be a huge jerk. He's a slacker, a social media guy, and a hothead. Why are you interested in someone who's sibling to a jerk like him?"

Jay put his hands on his hips and put a foot forward. "Well excuse me for not knowing that earlier! I've never met Lloyd!"

"Hello!"

Startled, Cole and Jay both flailed their arms as reflex and hit each other in the stomach. "Oh, uh, it's… You…" Jay said, his voice trailing off as he rubbed his stomach.

"I saw you two at the book club booth. My name is Zane," they took turns shaking hands with him. "What are your names?"

"I'm Jay and this is Cole!"

At first Cole was a little bummed when he didn't get to introduce himself, but seeing how happy Jay was somehow made him not care at all.

"Are you two friends?" Zane asked them.

Being Jay, he stepped in front and opened his mouth to answer, but Cole pushed him back.

"Oh, we're just roommates," Cole said in reply.

Hearing those words, Jay's stomach dropped and his bright smile had instantly faded away, in replace with a frown.

Zane slightly frowned at his answer. "Oh, my apologies then. I shall see you two around," he said with a smile and walked away.

Jay watched sadly as Zane continued to walk.

Once again, Cole began heading back without Jay.

You got that right! I added a book club. Pretty simple but I like the idea. I have a few ideas already of what would happen if there was a book club!
