Chpt. 3 Moving In

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to PR. Saban and Disney do. I'm just playin' around with them.

Marley and I pulled up to the curb in front of a large brick building marked "Beacon Hall". Outside the building; two guys stood. One guy was an Afro-American gentleman. He was wearing a green long sleeved t-shirt and black jeans. He wore a black leather vest over the shirt and wore a cowboy hat. The other guy was an Asian-American. He was wearing a blue t-shirt and black shorts.

I got out of the car and headed over. Marley walked ahead of me.

"Hey Joel!" she started. "I have another fresh one for ya." She said with a wink

"What the hell is that supposed to mean, Marley?" I said, slapping her arm.

"She just means that you're another freshman. Marley...well, she's a bit of a handful." Joel said, laughing.

"Yeah, I know that. I've known her for awhile."

"So, what's your name?" the other one said.

"Jerine Stone. I prefer Jeri though."

"I'm Chad."

"Hi, Chad. What's your major?" I asked, curious.
"Water Rescue Enforcement.", he replied.
"Sounds fascinating." I said, impressed.
"Nah, not really. It's just a fancy wording for Lifeguard." Joel followed.

Joel looked down at his clipboard. "Okay, Jeri, you are in room 302."

"Okay."

Joel gave me instructions on how to obtain my dorm key and I took care of that. I went back out to my car and grabbed some of my things. Marley followed me.

As soon as I had a few boxes, Joel came running over.

"Let me help you with that." He said.

"Thanks, Joel."

"No problem. Anything for a cute girl." He said with a wink

I blushed but only slightly.

We walked through the door and up the elevator to my room. I opened it slowly to find that my roommate had found her way there. I set my boxes down and looked at her, trying to figure her out.

She was pretty. Blonde hair, blue eyes and pouty lips. She was wearing a pink tank top and jeans. She was reading through what I assumed was a medical book. When I dropped my boxes, she looked up at me.

"Hi. You must be my roommate." She said, happily, getting up from her chair.

"Yeah, I guess I am." I said, laughing.

"I'm Dana. Dana Mitchell." She said, extending her hand.
"Jeri Stone. Nice to meet you." I said, shaking it.

"So where are you from?" She asked.

"Angel Grove, California. You?"

"Born and raised in Mariner Bay." She replied. "I'm Pre-Med"

"Me, too. I'm thinking of going the EMT path and then going into pediatrics."

"I was thinking about the EMT path, too."

"Jeri, I'm going to go get more of your things." Joel interrupted.

"Oh, let me go with you."

"Nah, that's okay. Marley's going with me."

"Are you sure that's a good thing?" I joked.

"SHUT UP JERI!! I HEARD THAT!" Marley yelled from down the hall. Dana just laughed.

"You know her?" she asked.

"Yeah, she's my best friend."

"Oh." She said quietly. "I don't have any friends from here."

"Well, Dana, I think we'll change that."

AN: Please, please, please review. I want everyone's input into this. I can't make it a better fic if I don't know what you guys think!!!

EtceteraKit: Thank you so much for your advice. Hopefully, I gave you a better idea as to what Jeri is all about. I'm glad that you like the story and Jeri. I'll work on improving it. And I agree with you 110. The LSR doesn't get enough credit or fics for that matter. And yes, that would be Mister Grayson in the beginning chapter.
