Chix unlocked his door to see Trouble on his laptop, attempting in vain to ignore his brother.
"Alright, I know, I should be happy to be in the same room, but it's just weird! She hardly said a word to me, then went back to her laptop. I really-"
"Grub!" Interrupted Trouble. "I'd really love to do the same thing right now. Can you please go bug someone else? I'm busy."
"How can you be busy? It's the first night! You don't even have work to do yet!" Trouble swiveled around to face his brother, and sighed deeply, clearly attempting to control his temper.
"Grub. As you know, I was accepted on high qualifier's terms. When I go into training tomorrow, I have to have a paper on my history in health and any athletic things I've done. So yes, I do have work to do. Actually, I'm surprised you're in here at all. Seeing as how we have an entrance exam tomorrow morning and all…" Grub looked horrified.
"E-entrance exam? I didn't hear about that."
"You didn't? Hmm… Well, you should have. Sorry." Grub scrambled to his feet and moved to leave the room in a remotely dignified manner. After the door was closed and they were sure Grub was out of earshot, the two boys burst into fits of laughter.
"Entrance exam? You ass!" Chix said through fits of laughter. After it died down Chix looked at Trouble. "There isn't really and entrance exam, is there?" Trouble laughed again.
"No. Only for advanced courses." At that moment, Trouble's communicator rang. "Hello?" He answered.
"There are no entrance exams, Danny!" Grub emphasized his name. Trouble winced.
"Yes there is, Grub." He replied.
"Holly said it was only for people in advanced courses."
"Yeah, I thought you were in one of those. Oh well, guess you just didn't qualify. Good night, Grub." And he hung up the communicator before Grub could respond.
"You're mam's Gonna have a field day!" Chix said, wiping tears from his eyes.
"Yeah, well, what is she gonna do? I'm not going to see her again until the holidays anyway." Chix nodded and turned to his computer. Mine as well see who's on the campus chat room.

DaughterOFfrond00: No I'm serious. It's kind of cute.
HotSprite321: O.K. Now I'm officially freaked. This is a campus chat room, right? Aren't you supposed to be a dude?... Well, unless this is Holly…Then it's alright.
DaughterOFfrond00: No, I'm not Holly… but I am a girl on campus. I thought I was the only one. Who's Holly?
HotSprite321: Just a friend of mine. I didn't think Holly was the type to say that my screen name was funny. Her remark would have pretty much been this, and I quote: "HotSprite321? This is Chix isn't it? Yeah, I thought so…"
DaughterOFfrond00: She sounds kind of mean… your friends with her?
HotSprite321:Yeah. She's got a really great personality, but you have to be mean to fit in with a bunch of cadets. Right? Plus, she's more my roommate's friend than mine. He likes her.
