It's been a few weeks since spring break. Nothing much has happened Jeff and Candice haven't seen eachother since the drive home from Miami so nothings happened there. The good thing is there's been no drama the only John and Torrie still avoiding eachother. Next on their list is orientation weekend at the colleges they've been excepted into. So that meant they all stayed home for the weekend. Except Torrie who got accepted in Boise so she arranged to stay at a frat house where one of her other brothers lived.

''Now are you sure your going to be ok'' Torrie's mom asked as they waited for her plan to be called

''I'll be fine I'll call you when I get in'' Torrie insisted

Just then her plan was called and Torrie got on. It took a few hours get there. When she got off she saw her brother Matt in the distance chatting up some girl who blew him off. Matt turned around and saw Torrie walking up to him

''Hey'' He greeted hugging her

''Hi'' She greeted back ''What number was that'' Torrie asked referring to the amount of girls that walked away from him

''Don't know lost count. Now let's get you settled'' He said putting an arm around her and directing her to his car

After nearly fifteen minutes of driving they finally reached the frat house that had cars park all around it and looked like the house was gonna fall any minute.

''Hey Billy's here'' Matt noted

''Who's Billy'' Torrie asked

''Just a friend of a friend. Did your football team play against Florida this year''

''Yeah''

''Well that was his team. So you might remember him''

As the car stopped Torrie heard a smash and looked to the front of the house to see a beer keg thrown out through the front window and continued to roll on the lawn up till it slowly stopped on the wheel of Matt's car. Torrie looked over to him

''Must be empty'' He shrugged

''So you just through them out the window'' Torrie asked

''Don't tell mom'' Matt said before getting out the car and getting Torrie's suitcase ''Tor give me a hand with this'' He asked referring to the keg. Torrie got out and picked up one side as Matt held the other aswell as her suitcase

''Did someone order a keg'' Matt said as they walked through the door

''It's empty'' One of the frat guys said

''We can use it for something else'' Matt said

''Like what'' Another guy said

''I don't know'' Matt said as along pause followed by everyone thinking

''What about a bomb-fire'' Torrie asked everyone looked at her

''Yeah we could do that. Who's that'' One of the guys asked

''That's my sister Torrie'' Matt introduced her

''Cool, we knew you were coming so we've got a spear room for you upstairs'' One of the guys said

''Your from Illinois right'' another guy asked

''Yeah'' Torrie replied

''I knew you looked familiar. Let me guess you a cheerleader'' He asked again

''Yeah'' Torrie repeated

''I faced your team in the semi-finals'' he said

''Really'' Torrie asked

''I'm Billy. Your team wasn't real with it, in the game'' He noted

''Yeah the two main players were weren't co-operating.''

''Why'' Billy asked

''It's personal'' Torrie said

''Sorry''

''Come on Tor, I'll show you your room''

Matt led her upstairs to her room. As Torrie was getting settled in her phone started ringing so she picked it up.

''Hello'' Torrie called

''Hi it's Candice''

''Hey. How's the campus'' Torrie asked

''Really nice what about yours''

''Haven't got that far. I only just got in about ten minutes ago''

''So where're you staying''

''At my brothers frat house''

''How fun'' Candice said sarcastically

''Ah-huh so what's up''

''Um…I have a problem''

''Go on''

''Well see in Miami I hooked-up with this guy who lives in Chicago. And I've never noticed him like that before until spring break. And now he's all I think about. But he hasn't even acknowledged me since. What should I do'' Candice asked

''Who is he'' Torrie asked

''Not saying''

''Do I know him'' Torrie asked again

''Yeah''

''Is he in our group'' she was starting to get impatient

''Yea…no…maybe''

''Candice'' Torrie said in a warning tone

''Ok it was Jeff. Happy''

''Jeff Hardy'' Torrie asked shocked

''Uh-huh'' Candice said in defeat

'

'Right on girl'' Torrie smiled

''Well, what should I do''

''I don't know. Maybe just talk to him while he's alone or something''

''How, when he's ignoring me''

''Did you ever think that maybe he's shy. I mean you're the first girl he's been with since Trish maybe he's being careful''

''Why I'm not gonna treat him like crap'' Candice sounded offered

''Yeah but you did sleep with the same guy the took his girlfriend'' Torrie noted

''Good point. I should just talk to him alone then'' Candice asked

''Yeah''

''Ok thanks Tor''

''No problem''

They said their bye's and hung up. Torrie heard someone clear their throat behind her. She turned around and saw Billy standing their

''I wanted to apologize for earlier. I was none of my business'' He said walking in her room

''It's ok. It's just something I want to forget'' Torrie said

''You know sometimes it helps to talk to someone'' Bill said sitting on her bed

''Long story short I had two friends betray me''

''You had two friends'' Billy asked Torrie gave him a look ''I don't mean it like that. When I was in Chicago all I heard about was you and this John guy. So I just figured you only hung out with him. Is he your boyfriend''

''No we 'were' just friends'' Torrie said emphasizing 'were'

''Uh-oh sound like trouble in paradise''

''No. he just chose is other best friend over me'' She said saddened

''Well atleast after the end of the year yous will be in different places.''

''Yeah''

Down stairs a party started Torrie thought she go down and get a feel for the collage life. For most of the night she sat with Billy and just talked about random things.

The next morning in LA everyone walked around the campus to get a feel for it. Candice walked around the court yard and saw a familiar figure in the distance. And he was alone. So she decided to take Torrie's advice and talk to him

''Hey Jeff'' Candice said standing next to him

''Hey'' He smiled back. Candice stood there with her hands in her back pockets and looked around ''Is there something you wanted'' Jeff asked

''M-Hm'' Candice shock her head Jeff just put his head back down looking at a map ''Actually there was this one…never mind'' She said ''You know…don't worry''

''Candice what is it'' He asked

''Nothing''

''Candice'' He said warningly she pretended to look at the non-existent watch on her arm

''Oh look at the time…'' she was cut off by Jeff lightly grabbing her arm and taking her to a near-by table and sat her down.

''You obviously came to me for a reason. What was it'' Jeff said standing over her

''I…'' She stopped when she realized she had nothing to say

''I'm not letting you move until you tell me''

Then suddenly Candice got up and gave Jeff a quick kiss before running off. Jeff just stood there stunned with his hand to his lips watching her run away.

In Idaho Torrie tried to get up but instantly felt pain in her head. She went to roll over but couldn't. Torrie looked over and saw

Billy sleeping in her bed. She immediately looked under the covers and was relived to have her clothes on. She quietly got up and went for a shower. Torrie went back in her room as she closed her door Billy started to stir.

''Morning'' He said

''Morning'' Torrie smiled

''How's your head'' He laughed then stopped when he felt a hangover

''What'd I do'' Torrie asked referring to last night

''You drank your own brother under the table''

''No wonder I fell sick''

''Ready for your fist look around the campus'' Billy asked as Torrie groaned ''Don't worry I'll hang with you''

''But we've been assigned to different groups''

''So.'' Billy shrugged ''I can just follow you'' He said as he held a hand out to Torrie who smiled to took it

Later that night in Chicago Jeff sat in the public library doing his last high school assignment. He was still shocked about what Candice did but he just shrugged it off thinking she was using her sexuality for him to let her. And it worked. Just then John slammed his books on the table earning a glare from the librarian who held a finger to her mouth telling him to shush. John just shrugged her off and sat down

''Our last assignment, thank god'' John praised

''Oh great'' Jeff said sarcastically

''What I thought you'd be jumping off the walls. You do everything else, chairs ladders…'' John began to list down the things Jeff is known to jump off

''Not that. THAT'' Jeff pointed to the entry way where Randy was walking in

''Fellers'' Randy greeted as he sat down

''Randy'' John said

''Asshole'' Jeff greeted unpleasantly

''Aww I'm touched. Really'' Randy said sarcastically holding a fist to his heart

''What are you doing here'' John asked

''Like everyone else I'm ready to get an A on the last assignment'' Randy replied

''You mean a for 'Asshole''' Jeff retorted

''What is your problem'' Randy asked

''You're the one with the problem''

''I'm not the one going around calling everybody assholes''

''No but you have a problem keeping your dick out of other peoples girlfriends assholes.'' Jeff said

''Guys knock it off, ok'' John said ''Jeff you really need to let it go ok. Randy's sleep with a lot of guys girlfriends but they got over it. He even slept with his close friends girlfriend but he forgave him''

''Yous have no idea how much she meant to me''

''Jeff have you heard the expression 'if you love something so much you let it go and if it comes back to you it's yours' give her time man it's only been a year she might come back. In the mean time you can't let her know you've been waiting on her. So you need to move on'' John explained

''With who''

''How about…''John paused to think then looked to the entrance ''Candice'' he called out Jeff looked up and saw Candice

Candice on the other hand went in the library hoping to not get caught up. After she got her book she was on her way out when she heard someone call out her name. She turned around and saw the three at a table

''Come here a sec'' John asked

''Na to have to…''

''Get your ass over hear'' He said jokingly Candice sighed as she walked over to sit down ignoring Jeff's eyes burning through her

''Ok where looking for a new girlfriend for Jeff. Got any candidates'' John asked

''That's a tough one all the girls I know except Torrie and Mickie are skanky bitches'' Candice said

''Meow'' Randy said Candice just glared at him. Just then an ambulance flew past the window and stopped a few shops away

''Wonder what happened'' Randy asked

''Oh two people were fighting earlier'' Candice said John and Randy just looked at her

''And you didn't tell us'' Randy asked in disbelief

''I didn't see you till now'' She defended

''We've gotta go check it out'' John said as he and Randy ran out leaving Candice and Jeff sitting there in awkward silence

''I'm sorry about earlier'' Candice said

''It's ok but I know what your doing'' Jeff replied

''And what's that'' Candice asked

''You keep showing to the places I'm at, you follow me around and that kiss earlier. You think I'm blind I did that to Trish before I went out with her. Well except for the kiss I didn't do that until we where together. Anyway, I can't have a relationship with one of my friends no matter what my feeling are or how much I care about yo…that girl. Look what it's done to John Torrie Randy and Stacy. You don't wanna end up like them do you''

Candice looked out of the window and saw John and Randy mucking around putting eachother in headlocks

''You mean like that'' She pointed out the window. Jeff turned around and chuckled

''No exactly like that but you know what I mean'' Jeff said putting a hand on hers

''Yeah'' Candice said softly

Jeff looked at her and saw sadness in her eyes. Without thinking he leaned in slowly and kissed her. They pulled apart, as Candice looked at him confused. Jeff was about to speak but stopped when he heard banging on the window. They both looked over and saw John and Randy going crazy acting like idiots. Candice and Jeff just laughed but they were soon told to pack up and leave since it was closing time

NOTE: Stacy will come back. I'm just gonna experiment with the other characters first. She'll be back in a few more chapters
