Hey, guys. This is a new story that I'm writing at the same time as It Started With A (Game)Bang. It will be very different but some elements may carry over. It's a different take on the Smosh Crew, one where they aren't working at Smosh yet, they're still at college: Smosh College. Everyone will be included (even Boze and Damien) and a variety of ships will (hopefully) be explored. Anyway, I am gonna have a ton of fun writing this, so I hope you will experience the same enjoyment reading it!
Chapter 1: First Day
Sohinki
Matthew Sohinki had always been something of an outcast, to the point where he had miraculously made it through middle and high school without a single friend! He never let this get him down though, to Matthew, video game characters were all the friends he needed. Today, however, he was gonna find himself with the best group of friends he could've asked for.
Sohinki awoke with a start, sitting bolt upright on his bed. Inexplicably, his chest and forehead were both drenched in sweat; perhaps he'd had an intense dream. Whatever the reason, the frantic yelling of the alarm clock on the table made it impossible to dwell any further. Grumbling, Sohinki swung his feet over the side of the bed and proceeded to stretch almost every bone in his back before standing and slowly walking to the other side of his room, now quite the obstacle room. Dodging abandoned dirty laundry and various forgotten candy wrappers, Sohinki eventually reached where he kept his weights. "Gotta keep in shape" he said aloud to himself whilst picking up two 30kg dumbbells and performing 20 bicep curls on each arm. Upon completion, Sohinki felt himself become even more encompassed by sweat. Still a little groggy, Sohinki made his way over to his wardrobe and grabbed whatever was the first thing he found. Doing the same for underwear and socks, Sohinki lumbered out of his room and made his way to the bathroom: he desperately needed a hot shower.
As the hot water flowed over him, Sohinki felt as though he was being filled with energy. He felt inspired by this newfound energy and promised himself to actually go outside today.
Sohinki glanced in the full length mirror at the side of the bathroom door to see what the mystery outfit he picked out actually was. The reflection looking back at him was clad in black jeans, a Dota 2 T-shirt and a plain black hoodie. The ensemble was completed by the two white socks barely visible beneath the jeans.
"Awesome! Dota 2." Sohinki muttered before venturing downstairs for some breakfast.
"Morning sweetie!" A familiar voice greeted Sohinki as he entered the kitchen.
"Morning mum, what's for breakfast?" Sohinki enquired hugging the slightly taller more feminine version of himself.
"Bacon and Eggs, you're favourite" she replied, beaming.
"Awesome! What's the occasion?" Sohinki asked as he placed himself at the table eagerly awaiting his meal.
"It's your first day, silly!"
"First day?"
"Aren't you starting college today?"
Well, at least I'm keeping my promise Sohinki thought miserably as he began fielding himself up on bacon and eggs.
Lasercorn
"What dorm room are you in?" Joven excitedly asked a clearly distracted Lasercorn.
"Hello? Lasercorn?" He asked hopelessly.
"David!" Joven snapped
"Huh, what?" Lasercorn asked suddenly rejoins reality.
Joven chuckled.
"I asked, what dorm room you were in"
"Oh. Lemme check" Lasercorn replied before pulling a plain piece of paper from his pocket. He had written his room number down otherwise he'd forget, and be made to look like an idiot much sooner than he wanted to. Not that he actually wanted to look like an idiot at all.
"301" He answered finally, shoving the note back into his pocket. "What about you?"
"302, we're neighbours" Joven happily told his oldest friend
"Awesome!" Lasercorn replied truthfully.
"Hey, What had you so distracted anyway?"
"Just thinking about what life's gonna be like here"
That wasn't a complete lie, he was thinking about what life would be like at college. But more specifically, what life would be like at college with a certain purple haired girl he'd met a few minutes ago. God, she was beautiful! And ever so confident. Granted, she was kinda clumsy (she did literally run into Lasercorn after all) but he just found that endearing.
"Bullshit! You were thinking about her weren't you?" Joven replied, staring his best friend dead in the face, now that were outside their dorms.
"I just told you ..." Lasercorn began
"Dave..."
"Okay, don't call me Dave"
"Sorry. Lasercorn, we've been friends for years, do you really think I can't tell when you're attracted to someone?"
"Maybe ... maybe not. Guess we'll have to find out" Lasercorn began to turn the handle to enter his dorm.
"Dude! You can't leave me hanging!" Joven called out.
"Going to far away now, can't hear you" Lasercorn jokingly answered before closing the door.
Turning to admire his dorm room, Lasercorn was surprised to find that his roommate had already begun moving in. He was a short, brown haired young man who, given his T-shirt, various gaming consoles and memorabilia, was a video game fanatic. Lasercorn was about to introduce himself when his roommate spoke two simple words:
"Which bed?" The brown haired guy asked, gesturing to the two single beds located on either side of the room.
"Uh, I'll take the left one" Lasercorn answered, pointing to the bed on the far side of the room
"Cool" The guy turned away to start unpacking. He turned back to Lasercorn and offered his hand. "I'm Matt by the way, Matt Sohinki."
"David Moss but you can call me Lasercorn," Lasercorn replied taking Matt's hand and shaking firmly. "Pleasure to meet you Matt."
"My friends just call me Sohinki. Well, if I had any they would"
"Sohinki it is" Lasercorn walked to his bed and began to unpack.
Damien
The room was empty bar for Damien and the blonde haired boy sat next to him. Confused, Damien turned to him,
"Shayne, are we the only ones that chose to study Drama and Media?"
Shayne turned to his best friend with a similar puzzled look on his face.
"We can't be, I don't think the college would allow this to be taught for only two people."
"I guess. Let's just hope the others get here soon"
"Agreed" Shayne nodded his head slightly.
As if by magic, one by one more and more people filed into the room until all of the chairs in the circle (that had been set up in the middle of the room) were occupied bar for one.
"Is this everyone?" A more authoritative voice questioned as a rather tall, older man with an admittedly sweet moustache entered the room.
"Good" He continued "Then we shall begin"
Every student looked wearily to one another at this statement.
"Let's start by getting to know each other shall we? Let's go around the circle stating our names and one or more of our favourite pastimes. I'll start" The man suggested, clearing his voice.
"I'm Professor Joe Bereta and I enjoy playing basketball"
"Uh, I'm Ericka Bozeman, people usually call me Boze. I enjoy studying statistics I guess" The dark haired African American girl next to Joe continued
"Hi! I'm Wes Johnson and I enjoy cookies, Ice Cream and video-games" The white haired evidently man child offered
"I'm Keith Leak Jr. I mainly enjoy listening to Michael Jackson"
"I'm Noah Grossman. My favourite past time has to be watching movies or just learning in general"
"I'm Ian Hecox. I enjoy watching comedy shows and generally just be around my friends.
"I'm Shayne Topp. I enjoy comedy, going to the gym and reading"
"I'm Damien Haas. My favourite past times have to be video-games, anime and playing with my two cats, Freya and Zelda" Damien received an "aww" from both Boze and the girl to his right.
"I'm Courtney Miller. Hands down, my favourite past time is watching FRIENDS"
"I'm Matthew Sohinki but just call me Sohinki. Um, I guess you can tell from my shirt that I really enjoy playing video-games"
Courtney was the only one really laughing at this.
"I'm Mari Takahashi, I enjoy watching anime, playing video-games and being adventurous"
"I'm David Moss, most people call me Lasercorn because of a tattoo on my right shoulder. My favourite past times have to be video-games and setting fire to stuff"
Mari chuckled in an obviously flirtatious manner.
"I'm Joshua Ovenshire, Jovenshire or Joven for short. Like most people here, I enjoy playing video games, watching movies and reading comic books"
"I'm Olivia Sui. I would have to say that my favourite past time simply listening to music"
"I'm Anthony Padilla. My favourite past times are playing video games and just being around friends"
"Last but not least, I'm Amra Ricketts, but it's easiest if ya'll just call me Flitz. I enjoy dancing, playing video games and learning about space."
"Well then, now that we're all well acquainted," Joe began "welcome to Smosh College"
