A/N: Haven't had one of these in a little while, so I'm going to catch you
up on a few things.
I am going to start rotating between Kate/Lizzie, Miranda, and the boys at UCLA. I'm going to keep the story as intertwined as possible, but with them being in three different locations, there is going to be some individuality going on.
I am going to try to keep this story as true-to-life as possible when it comes to how college works. A lot of the stuff (especially the last chapter) comes directly from my experiences as a freshman in college.
Sorry if the last chapter bored you, but I'm trying to get them into the feel of college.
Ok, enough rambling, here we go: __________________________________________________________________
"Room 1306, this is it." Larry said softly before entering.
Larry was the first of the boys to get to his room. It was late in the day and as he expected, his roommate was already there. He walked in and plopped himself down on the bed.
"Hey, I'm Larry." he said to the other boy.
"I'm Adam, but you can call me Bob, everyone else does." he replied.
"How is Bob a nickname for Adam?"
"I don't know, ask my best friend from high school." He grabbed a picture off his desk that had several people in it holding out their hands so you could see their class rings. "The one on the left in the black dress, with the blonde hair, that's her."
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"Eww. No way, not Frog, known her too long for that." He shook his head.
"Frog?" Larry asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Nickname, she calls me Bob, I call her Frog." He said as if it was the most logical thing in the world.
"Right..." Larry decided not to press it anymore.
A little while later, while he was unpacking his things he heard two familiar voices coming down the hall.
"No, I'm telling you that our rooms are this way," said one voice.
"Ethan, we're in 1304 and 1309, that's this way." The other voice responded.
Larry poked his head out into the hallway. "Down this way, you guys!"
"I told you Ethan." Gordo sighed and headed down towards Larry.
Gordo poked his head into Larry's room. "Nice deco, Larry, I like the clothes everywhere theme you've got going on." He looked over at Bob. "Hey, I'm Gordo, Larry's friend from high school, and this is Ethan." Gordo pulled Ethan around the corner and into Larry's room.
"Hey Gordo, Ethan, I'm Adam..." Bob started.
"But you can call him Bob." Larry finished. "Don't ask." He said to their inquisitive looks.
"Well, we're off to find our rooms. Come on Ethan." Gordo said.
"Nice meetin' ya, Bob!" Ethan said as he followed Gordo out.
Gordo found his door. He opened and walked into a bare, empty room. "Home, sweet home."
Ethan walked into his room and found another boy's things, but the other boy was nowhere to be seen. 'Probably went out for pizza...mmm, pizza, that sounds good!' He went running down the hall to Gordo's room.
"Gordo, can we go get pizza?" Ethan begged.
"We just ate three hours ago! And I haven't even started to unpack."
"Oh, I thought maybe you'd want to call Kate and Lizzie and have them meet us somewhere for pizza." Ethan said, giving Gordo the 'sad eyes'.
"Well, since you brought Lizzie into it, alright. Call them, I'll go get Larry."
"Maybe Bob wants to come too?" Ethan suggested.
"Sure why not?" Gordo shrugged.
Gordo walked down the hall and knocked on Larry's door.
Larry opened the door. "Hey Gordo, back so soon?"
"Ethan wants to get pizza. Are you coming?"
"Sure, I'm in."
Gordo looked over Larry's shoulder. "What about you, Bob? Want to come with us for pizza?"
"I don't want to intrude." Bob said, cautiously.
"Nah, it's ok. You can meet the girls." Gordo said. He looked back to Larry. "Lizzie and Kate are coming, I'm sure we'll get to hear all about their new apartment."
"But we just helped them move in, we saw it." Larry whined.
"Do you think that will matter to them?" Gordo looked at Larry and both boys shrugged.
Ethan came down the hall. "They're meeting us at Aurelio's Pizza in 45 minutes. Man I hope they hurry, girls take too long!"
"I hear you there." Bob chimed in.
Gordo and Ethan went back to their rooms to start unpacking before they had to leave. Thirty minutes later they were all piled in Larry's Blazer, heading for the pizza place.
