Becky managed to make it through her first day of classes at Eden Hall. Most of her classes were filled with Ducks, except her Biology class. The only Duck in her Biology class was Dean, so she knew she would have to make friends quick. Once her classes had ended, she went back to her dorm to wait for Carly. She laid in her bed with her Bio book to catch up on some of the readings. At about 5:30, there was a knock on the door. Becky jumped down off of her bed in anticipation. She pulled the door open quickly and squealed when she was greeted by Carly.
"I've missed you so much!" Becky exclaimed, wrapping her arms around Carly's neck.
"I've missed you, too. This week is going to be awesome!" She lifted up her bags and carried them into the room as Becky closed the door behind her.
"You can put your stuff over there." Becky said, pointing to the corner besides her bed.
"Okie dokie." Carly replied, placing her bags down on the floor.
"Let me take your jacket." Becky offered her hand to Carly. Carly handed her jacket to Becky who in turn, hung it up in the closet. "So, what's new?" Becky asked, sitting down on the floor.
"Nothing, Philadelphia is boring as usual." Carly laughed, sitting down beside Becky. "How's everything here?"
"I don't like it. I mean, I love Uncle Gordon and everything, but the people here are a pain in the ass. You'll see." Carly sighed at Becky. She knew Becky wasn't usually up for new things.
"Maybe you aren't giving them a fair chance..."
"Carly. Don't give me that. That's what everyone's saying. I've given them as much of a chance as they deserve. Can we change the subject?"
"Sure, don't get so testy." Carly shook her head. "So... are there any hot guys around?"
"Well, yeah, but they're either taken, or they're assholes. The captain Duck is both." Becky smiled and Carly laughed. "But you wouldn't like him anyway. Then there's this guy Guy, but, he's sorta taken."
"He's SORTA taken?"
"It's a long story."
"Okay." Carly nodded.
"Then there's this guy Fulton. You're gonna love this guy. He's actually pretty nice, only he has an asshole for a roommate and best friend."
"We can work around that." Carly winked at Becky. "So, when do I get to meet these Ducks?"
"It's up to you. We could go to the dining hall for dinner. Stacy will probably be there, so you can see her... and the Ducks will be there." Carly smiled wildly. Unlike Becky, Carly was a people person. She loved meeting new people whereas Becky would rather hang out with people she had known for a while.
"Let's go!" Carly jumped to her feet and pulled Becky up beside her.
"You wanna get changed or anything first?" Becky asked.
"Nope! Let's go...." She pulled at Becky's arm.
"Alright, alright. Let me grab our coats."

It was slightly after 6 o'clock when Becky and Carly arrived at the dining hall. The rush didn't usually come until around 7. There were groups of people scattered throughout the room. Carly smiled as she spotted Stacy sitting at a long table. There was a number of guys sitting with her, and two girls. Stacy noticed Carly and waved for her to come over. Carly headed in Stacy's direction and Becky followed.
"How is everything?" Stacy asked, standing up to give Carly a hug.
"Things are going good." Carly smiled. "How are things for you?"
"Everything is going well." Stacy replied. "I'm having a blast here. Let me introduce you to the Ducks." By this time, most of the Ducks had turned to look at Stacy. "Well, not all of them are here, but you'll get the picture. This is Connie..." Stacy said, pointing in her direction. "And this is Julie."
"Nice to meet you." They said simultaneously.
"Nice to meet you, too." Carly replied.
"That's Ken..." Stacy said pointing at Ken. "That's Goldberg, Luis, and Charlie." The guys barely looked up from their food and gestured a friendly wave in Carly's direction. "And that's Dean." She pointed at him. He was sitting alone at the end of the table. Dean waved and nodded his head, Carly waved back.
"He's cute..." Carly whispered to Becky. Becky let out an incredibly loud, disgusted sigh. Carly laughed a little, unsure of what that was about.
"And that..." Stacy said, pointing at the young man who was walking towards the table. He looked strong and had a head full of thick black hair, covered by a bandana. "... is Fulton Reed."
"Carly..." She said as she walked up to him and shook his hand. "My name's Carly, I'm a friend of Becky's."
"So I heard at practice... I'm Fulton."
"So I've heard." She smiled.
"Would you like to sit down with me for dinner?" Fulton asked, he was often quite charming.
"I would love to." Carly turned to Becky and smiled. Becky laughed a little. Carly followed Fulton around the table. He sat down beside Dean and Carly sat beside her. Stacy sat down next to Luis.
"I'm not even hungry." She sighed. "Has anybody seen Dwayne?" Becky walked away to go get something to eat.
"Yeah, he'll be here." Luis said. "Had to stop off at some cowboy store or something."
"Okay." Stacy laughed.
"Do you want me to go get you something?" Fulton asked Carly.
"No, I'll go get it myself. Don't go anywhere." She smiled, standing up and walking away.
"Where would I go?" Fulton laughed. He looked over at Dean who was stirring his mashed potatos around with his fork. "Dean... have you ever actually tried to talk to Becky, you know, maybe about something she likes?"
"Yes Fulton, I have." He said, picking up his Diet Coke and drinking from it. "Will you just forget about it? Have fun with your new friend." Dean smirked.
"I can't have fun and enjoy myself while you stir your mashed potatos around."
"Don't worry about my mashed potatos." Just then, Dwayne came strolling up to the table with a bag in his hand. He sat down beside Stacy and kissed her on the cheek. He pulled a large hat box out of the bag and handed it to Stacy. She squealed as she pulled off the lid to discover a pink cowboy hat. She placed it gleefully on her head and returned Dwayne's kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you so much."
"It was mah pleasure." Dwayne smiled. Fulton stood up as Becky and Carly arrived back at the table. He took Carly's plate from her and put it down on the table.
"Thank you." Carly smiled. Becky sat down across from Dean. As she opened her Diet Coke to take a drink, Goldberg decided that it would be funny to throw a half-eaten apple at Dean. His horrible aim (the reason why he was the goalie of the team), caused him to accidentally hit Becky's bottle of soda, therefore sending into the air and landing in Dean's lap. Dean jumped up in the air and Becky's jaw dropped to the floor.
"Oh my God, I am so sorry!" She exclaimed.
"It's oh my GOODNESS, not oh my God." Stacy corrected her.
"Shut up Stace!" Becky snapped at her.
"It's okay." Dean said, brushing some of the liquid from his pants. "You're an asshole!" Dean said, looking at Goldberg, who along with the rest of the table, was laughing hysterically. Becky was incredibly embarassed so she stood stood up and left. "You're such a jerk off Goldberg! I should make you lick this off of the floor!"
"I apologize." Goldberg said, fighting back his need for laughter.
"I don't know why you're apologizing to me!" Dean walked over and smacked Goldberg in the back of the head.
"You deserved that." The entire group of people said in unison. Dean walked angrily out of the lunch room. The rest of the people at the table sat their silently for a few seconds until finally the silence was broken and everyone began to talk again.
** I know this chapter was REALLY bad, but I haven't written in a while and I wanted to get this off of the ground again. Be a little easy on me, I'll add more tomorrow.**
"I've missed you so much!" Becky exclaimed, wrapping her arms around Carly's neck.
"I've missed you, too. This week is going to be awesome!" She lifted up her bags and carried them into the room as Becky closed the door behind her.
