===Cody===

Cody sat at the barstool of the local sports grill.

"Can I get you a beer?" the waitress asked.

"I'm only 17... 18 in a month..."

"Then what are you doing here?" she asked, annoyed.

"I was hoping to get a coke..."

She laughed. "Whatever..." she said, reaching for a glass, and filing it with coke.

Someone laughed from Cody's right side. He turned to see a guy in a dark leather jacket.

"What's so funny?" Cody asked.

The guy smiled. "You. Why you coming to a bar if you don't drink?"

Cody frowned. "I don't know... I guess it's better then being cooped up in my apartment..."

"Guess so..." the guy said.

"Why do you come here? You look barely 18, and the legal drinking age is 21..."

"I am eighteen... out there..." the guy said, potining to the entrance. "But in here, I'm..." he pulled an id from his wallet. "22... turning 23 on the 3rd..." Cody looked at the ID carefully. This was the ID of a Lee Chang... Cody started noticing different quirks and errors on the ID. "That's a fake..." Cody said, his eyes widening. "You're using a fake ID..."

"Shhh! Keep your voice down..." he whispered. The guy laughed. "You're strange, you know that?"

Cody frowned nervously and awkwardly.

"The name's Jax..."

"Jax?"

"That's what they call me..."

"I'm Cody..."

"Cody... cool name."

"Really?"

"Really... you know what, you might not be too bad... I hope I see you around..."

Jax slapped a ten dollar bill on the counter. "Keep the change..." he said, winking to the waitress before dashing out of the bar.

===Zack===

"We are thrilled that you reconsidered, Mr. Martin..." the voice on the other side of the phone said.

"Well... me too.." I said.

"When do you plan on starting your classes?"

"Uh... as soon as possible..."

"There are only few students as dedicated to getting a full education as you... you should be proud..."

I nodded, although the person over the phone couldn't see me.

"Well, we do have a few of the classes you've been selected for starting up in two weeks... and it looks like we have an availability open in one of our dorms then...

"I'll be there..." Zack promised.

===Bailey===

The plane's wheels skidded across the runway, causing all of the passengers to jolt forward in their seats.

"Wow... that was a short flight!" Bonnie laughed.

That's cause you talked the whole way... I thought, not trying to be rude, but making on honest observation.

"So... I hope to see you around campus sometime..." Bonnie said, smiling.

"Yeah. That would be awesome..."

Bonnie stood up, getting her suitcase out of the overhead bins. "Well, bye Bailey Pickett!"

"Bye Bonnie..." I laughed.

She skipped down the aisle... literally... bumping into people along the way.

===Woody===

The side door that led into the kitchen opened.

He didn't have to speak for me to know who it was.

"Hey babe..." Steve said, kissing my mom's cheek. I focused down on my word search.

There was silence, and I could feel his eyes glaring at me.

"You know, that sea school wasn't cheap. Why don't you make yourself useful and go out and get a job?"

"Why don't you make me?" I yelled back, standing up.

"Please..." my mom said, stepping between us. "Stop it!" she said, her eyes piercing into mine.I retreated back to my seat at the kitchen table.

The doorbell rang from the front of the house.

"I'll get it!" I said, glad to have an excuse to leave the room. I ran to answer.

I didn't have time to react. "Woody!" she said, leaping into my arms, almost knocking me over. She grabbed my face, forcing me to kiss her lips. That's when it clicked in my head, and I realized who this was. "Addison!" I said back, smiling. I kissed her again. "But... what are you doing here?"

"I missed you..." she said, looking into my eyes.

"Aww..." I said, hugging her.

"I don't miss you anymore!" she said, giggling.

"Who's at the door?" my mom said, walking into the room.

"Mom, I don't think you got to meet her at the graduation... but this is my girlfriend, Addison..."

Laughter came from the kitchen.

"No one's talking to YOU, STEVE!" I yelled.

"No one's talking to YOU STEVE..." he mimicked me from the other side of the house, slamming the door behind him.

===Bailey===

I found my dorm easily, without any difficulty...

A girl was unpacking a suitcase on one of the beds, dumping it's contents into a dresser.

"Hi..." I said. She turned around, gasping. "BAILEY PICKETT!"

"Bonnie?" I said, recognizing the girl from the plane ride over. She smiled, running and pulled me into a hug. "Oh my gracious! We're ROOMIES!" she gasped.

I laughed. "What are the odds?"

Okay, so review? I'm pretty sure that college doesn't exactly work the way I'll be describing it in my story, but I wouldn't know... never been to college... so... review! :)

I'll be fast forwarding some, I guess... say... two weeks?

Maybe. I haven't decided yet.
