I'm back with another chapter! If you thought last chapter was crazy, then you haven't seen anything yet!

Chapter 3: Roommate Wars

Will & Elliot

"I just can't believe it!" Elliot moaned. "Why would they make me share a dorm with a student that's in an earlier grade than me?"

"Well, you should be glad that at least the roommate isn't in a higher grade than you!" Will countered. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to unload my things." Will then took out his briefcase and dumped its contents on a bed.

"Hey! That was going to be my bed!" Elliot yelled. "You're going to leave your germs on it!"

"Oh, so now I have germs? Then how about you have cooties!" Will growled.

"That's it! I'm putting up boundaries!" Elliot declared. He found some tape and started to make a border that went across the middle of the bedroom.

"Wait a minute! Your side has the door! How am I going to get outside if I can't get to that door?" Will exclaimed.

"Guess you'll have to figure that out by yourself." Elliot said as he arranged his things on his side.

Will then started to remove the tape and this time placed it so that the border went to the middle of the door. "There. Now I can reach the door."

"But your side has the door knob!" Elliot complained.

"Exactly." Will said as he started to place his things on his side.

Elliot groaned, "Listen. Both of us need to access the door. We'll set up a small area at the door, then divide the rest of the room."

"But I like the floor plan as it is!" Will stated. That didn't stop Elliot. He marked an area at the door. Will interrupted, "Hold on, that's clearly not 1.6 meters squared!"

"What are you talking about?" Elliot asked, annoyed.

Will explained, "A mininum floor area is attained by multiplying the number of pupils staying in the dorm by 4.2 meters squared, then by adding 1.6 meters squared. If we are to share an area, it'll have to be 1.6 meters squared!"

"Just shut up. Be glad that I actually decided to make an area to share." Elliot grumbled as he laid back on his bed.

Helen & Claris

"It's bad enough for you to copy me, but becoming my roommate is just low!" Claris complained.

"Hey, I didn't want to be your roommate in the first place!" Helen argued. "And I didn't copy off you! You copied off me!"

"You're just accusing me to cover up the fact that you were the one that copied off me!" Claris talked back.

"Well, you're accusing me! Maybe you are the culprit to even suggest that sort of thing!" Helen exclaimed.

"Oh, stop your childish complaining and just confess!" Claris growled.

"How can I confess when you're the one that has to confess?" Helen questioned.

At that instant, Claris grabbed Helen's violin and threatened, "Confess now, or the violin gets it!"

"You wouldn't!"

"I would!"

Helen then grabbed a jar of peanut butter and warned, "If you ruin my violin, then I'll have to ruin your singing with peanut butter!"

"I can't believe it! Your threats are as childish as your complaints!" Claris taunted.

"Oh yeah? The peanut butter will get so sticky, that your mouth will be hindered by it! And I'll put in your mouth a lot of peanut butter. The more peanut butter, the more sticky your mouth will be!" Helen denounced. "And on top of that, I'll also make you drink ice-cold water! The cold water will shock your vocal cords so much that they'll be ruined!"

Claris was still holding on to the violin. Finally, she placed it back to where it was. "This isn't over yet! Mark my words, you will confess that you copied off me!"

"Unless you confess first!" Helen talked back.

"Be quiet, you!" Claris groaned as she lied down on her bed.

Dinner Time

Everyone was to report to the cafeteria in order to recieve their dinner. Will, Helen, Claris, and Elliot all waited in line. It wasn't until when they finally got their food, which today was fish & chips, that they met up with each other at a table.

"Claris! You won't believe it! I got stuck with an eighth-grader as a roommate!" Elliot told Claris.

Helen exclaimed, "Wait a minute! Will is your roommate?"

"My roommate knows my friend's roommate?" Claris asked.

"This is confusing!" Will grumbled.

"I guess you're too young to suddenly understand what's going on!" Elliot said.

"Hey! Don't talk to him that way!" Helen argued.

"Oh, so now you're trying to look nice to cover up the fact that you copied me!" Claris spat.

"No way! Helen would never copy off anyone!" Will stated.

"If Claris says that she was copied, then I believe her." Elliot spoke.

"You're suddenly on her side?" Helen questioned.

"It was surprising enough for me to know that our roommates know each other as well!" Claris replied.

"You want a piece of me?" Will warned.

"Apparently, I'm not surprised." said a voice that wasn't of the others. The four students turned around to see another student that seemed older than them. He had a wooden staff with a golden sphere on top that he was grapsing. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nick Potland of the twelth grade. I couldn't help but overhear your conversation and you seem to be new students, right?"

"Yes, but what do you want?" the four students asked.

Nick explained, "I think new students should be able to hang out with more experienced pupils that would show them the ways of boarding school. I mean, for starters, did you actually think that they'll let both a boy and a girl be roommates?"

"What? No! Of course not!" the four students exclaimed, but it was obvious that they weren't fooling Nick.

Will then spoke, "Well I want to be the best--"

Elliot interrupted, "Sports all-star. But since I am--"

Claris interrupted, "A fantastic basketball player, he should--"

Helen interrupted, "Admit flaws, unlike some--"

Will interrupted, "Young students that should strive for--"

Elliot interrupted, "Excellence, without hinderence from--"

Claris interrupted, "Other students that make us--"

Helen interrupted, "The girls of--"

Will interrupted, "MVP awards and--"

Elliot interrupted, "Promising careers that lead us to--"

Claris interrupted, "Fame and fortune and--"

Helen interrupted, "Humble reputations?"

"Splendid!" Nick exclaimed, bringing Will to his side. "This calls for a first-night slumber party!"

"Well, I'm game!" Will answered.

"Me too!" Helen responded.

"If she's game, then I'm game, too!" Claris replied.

"I'll join in!" Elliot declared.

"It's all set!" Nick told the others. "After dinner, come to my dorm for the sleep-over! This is a chance for you to hang out with more experienced students! I assure you, you're in for one wild night!"

In case you're wondering, Nick won't play an important role in this fanfic. The only reason I included him was to set off the "invitation to the slumber party" sequence. Let's just say for that sequence I got inspired by a youtube video.
