Sorry I haven't updated, I had too many tests this week. The dorm rooms will be way bigger, like a mini-apartment. These will have three rooms. Jade Mountain can be a series of buildings or the mountain, whichever one you decide. The dorms will be outside of the mountain.

(Galactic's POV)

It was early morning in Pyrrhia, around 7 A.M. to be precise. I grabbed the last cardboard box out of my room and headed downstairs. Walking out the front door, I heard the footsteps of Darkcatcher behind me. I headed towards Cel's SUV and placed the last box of the nine I was taking. Four of the boxes had all of my recording equipment and my custom computer. The other five had clothes, blankets, a toothbrush, toothpaste, etc...

"You ready man?" Cel asked me as I closed the trunk of the car, making sure everything was secure inside the vehicle. I looked back at my house from where I grew up. This was the place where too many memories were made. It was one week before college started, and I was ready to conquer it. Cel and I were going early so we could get a dorm closer to the campus.

Standing by the house was Darkcatcher, my little brother. He was staring directly at me, and I saw a look a sadness in his eyes. Darkcatcher and I started to get along a lot more when he found I was a famous YouTuber. Speaking of that, I hit 9 million subscribers, but that's another story.

I walked up to him and held out my claws. What I got was a bear hug from him.

"I'll see you soon," I told him, and he nodded. "Maybe I can visit you over the weekend."

"So that makes it a goodbye," he responded, "for now." We separated from the embrace we just had; and I saw him giving me a sad smile.

I didn't need to say goodbye to my parents, because they weren't even outside to begin with. Very supportive parents, I thought sarcastically as I opened the car door.

I wasn't taking my Trion for a few reason: someone will steal it, I will never get any privacy, and female dragons will try to make me their boyfriend. It was weird of how I thought it, but I am only being cautious.

We were taking Cel's car instead. He had more room to pack stuff (I took all my equipment for making videos with me) and it was more comfortable. It was only going to be a two hour drive from where we were from.

I got into the SUV Cel had as he opened his door. I lowered himself in, but hit his head on the top of the door. He cursed out a few words as he rubbed his head before continuing down into the seat. Closing the door, he put the car key into the ignition; making the car come to life. He reversed out of the driveway, getting onto the neighborhood road.

Cel pulled out onto the main road, and we started our journey to college. It was going to be a long, boring trip, but it was going to be worth it. Getting their a week early would give us more dorm options to choose from.

"This is going to be one hell of a year," Cel spoke suddenly. I nodded, knowing that he couldn't get any truer. I was going to see my old crush, and also familiar faces; both good and bad.

"Hopefully things will go smoothly," I said, looking out the window of the SUV. I saw the small birds fly across the blue sky. Their wings carrying them to any place they desire to be today. I sighed, I wish we could get as much freedom as them.

"Same, but we don't want to jinx it," Cel said with a chuckle. I couldn't help but smile at the comment he made.

It was after a while I decided to turn on some music. I turned the station to rock and roll, hoping for something good to listen to. Rock and roll was always something to make me forget about everything stressful in life. It made forget about all my fears that I would think about.

As I raised the volume, the song went into a guitar solo. I decided I would play along, being bored and all. I raised my arms as if I was playing a real guitar, but all I was holding was air. Then, I strummed wildly at my invisible instrument. It was entertaining me, until Cel decided to ruin the moment after a minute.

"You look stupid doing that," he bluntly stated, "you know that, right?"

I rolled my eyes at him and slumped back into my chair. "You just HAD to ruin the moment."

"I like to be a fun killer sometimes."

"Why am I not surprised."

"Har Har Har!" He yelled as he gave a mock laugh. I just sighed and looked out the window. There were so many things that were going through my head. I was excited to start college, to see the few friends I had, not to mention Waterfall. A smile crept across my face as I thought about her. Her gorgeous emerald green eyes and beautiful deep blue scales made my day every time.

"Can't wait to see your girlfriend, I see," Cel spoke out. I turned around and glared at him. He was wearing a smug grin on his face, trying really hard not to laugh.

"I could kick your ass right now," I said. This was true and Cel knew it, too. Over the summer, I took self-defense classes. Silt was still out there to kill me, so I decided to be prepared for day he finds me. I learned several different fighting formations, different punches, and kicks that could make your enemy cower in fear.

"Geez," Cel responded, slightly leaning away from me. "I didn't mean for it to get personal."

"You already crossed the line with the 'girlfriend' part," I reminded, folded my arms across my chest. He took a second to think about what I just and gave a quiet "oh" when my message processed through his brain.

The song finished and the news between each song started.

"Hello listeners in Pyrrhia, we have breaking news to tell you," the commentator said. I turned the volume up so I wouldn't miss anything he spoke. "This morning, Pyrrhia police found the body of a dead NightWing. Authorities confirmed that the body is Fearless the NightWing. They also say that he was shot twice and stabbed in the chest, leading to his brutal death."

"Damn," Cel said. I quieted him, wanting to keep on listening.

"The NightWing lies dead next to a warehouse, where the word "Galactic" was written on the metal wall."

I didn't know what to say, but I immediately that someone was going after me. I also confirmed that Silt was behind this. I my talons on my snout, unable to speak. "This is really bad," I whispered through my talons, finally getting control of my voice. "Hopefully no one thinks that I did this."

Cel the shrugged in response, not knowing what to say to cheer me up. There was nothing to cheer me up anyways; now thinking that half the dragons in the high school I went to think I'm a killer. It wasn't something nice to think about.

I turned the radio off and we drove in silence. The day was already turning sour. I stared out the window to pass the time, but there was nothing to see besides trees and rocks that dotted the area. Finally, I decided to sleep for the rest of the way. We were going to unload all of our cargo, so it was going to be long and tiring. I reclined the seat back until I was laying on it like a bed. The sound of the tires rolling over the asphalt was a little relaxing, enough to make me sleep. I slowly closed my eyes and let the darkness take over my vision.

A couple hours later...

"Galactic," I heard a voice call from afar. I groaned, but kept my eyes closed. I was in the middle of a relaxing sleep and I did not want it ruined.

Then I felt something painfully hit my shoulder.

I yelped and jolted up from my seat, only to hit the ceiling of the SUV. I cried out in pain as I clutched my head with my talons, keeping my eyes closed. What a start for college, I thought as I climbed out of the vehicle. I opened my eyes and saw Cel grinning at me, clearly thinking the recent event was funny.

"Have your fun," I said with a scowl. "I'll be laughing harder when something worse happens to you."

"We're here, if you didn't know," Cel responded. "I am going to register. You can come with if you want." He started walking towards the main building, but I realized something.

"Cel, wait up," I shouted at him. He turned to me, just staring right at my eyes. "We can't just tell them who I am. As soon as I say my real name, they are going being calling authorities."

"You'll be fine," he immediately told me. "While you were sleeping, the news said that they found orange and brown scales at the crime scene, which means it must be a MudWing."

"Okay...," I trailed off, realizing that I wouldn't be going to jail for life, or possibly given the death sentence.

"If it's the end of this discussion, I will be going to register," Cel spoke. He then walked off, back to the main building. I trailed behind him, looking at my surroundings. They were a few other dragons at the campus too. One was a orangish-red SkyWing talking to a pale yellow SandWing. There was also a SeaWing that looked very familiar...

"Hey Freakwave!" I called from the sidewalk. The SeaWing was busy carrying a box full of clothing, but turned my direction. Even from where I stood, I could see a grin form on Freakwave's face. I didn't go talk to him, knowing that he was busy with his own stuff.

I started running after Cel, who moved pretty far since I stopped to call to the SeaWing. the IceWing made his way through the main doors of the massive building. I went from running to walking, not wanting to attract attention to myself, again.

I casually opened the door and went the direction Cel went, which was a table covered in a green cloth. A MudWing and SkyWing sat in folded chairs behind the table. Cel was already writing on the registration paper.

I slowly made my way to the table, and the SkyWing gave me a smile as I approached.

"Welcome to Jade Mountain Academy," she said. "Here is your registration form, please take all the time you need to fill it out."

I nodded as she handed me the sheet of paper. I began to write down things like my first name, last name, phone number, hatching day, etc. I was able to finish the form in a matter of minutes. I handed the paper back to the SkyWing, who took it gratefully. She looked at the forms and grabbed a set of keys on the table.

"You two will be in the same dorm, like you asked a few weeks ago," she said, handing us each a key for our dorm.

"Sweet, thank you," I said gratefully as we started back to the car. As we went through the front door, I almost collided with a dragon coming in the same entrance as I was.

I narrowly dodged the SeaWing and turned around to tell him to be cautious, but it wasn't he. It was a she; and best of all, it was Waterfall. I looked at her, dumbfounded. She was wearing three strings of pearls around her neck, each one showing off their rarity to everyone looking at them. This made her look more beautiful than ever.

She was looking at me, with an eyebrow raised. Realizing that I was staring at her, mouth open, I decided to make myself look more impressive. I stood up straighter to look more professional.

"Sorry, Waterfall," I managed as I bowed apologetically.

"It's ok," she responded, "but never do that bowing again. You're not a SeaWing guard."

"I thought it was most appropriate when adressing royalty," I said with a grin. She looked at me with a smile."So... what are you doing a week before college?"

"Trying to get everything organized, get a nice dorm, and to meet some friends," she said, "and I have already finished the third task."

I was a little taken back at the last part, but covered my shock quickly with a smile. Friends with your old crush, good job you, I thought as I held my hand out. She took it without hesitation and shook it.

"Well hello, friend," I said through a smile. It made my day when she smiled back at me. "I'm sorry I can't stay to talk, but I have a dorm to move into."

"Well, I'll see you other times, right?" she asked me.

"Of course," I answered. I headed out the door as she headed to the table. Her cousin Tsunami was watching us intently from the table. I headed out, walking back to the SUV that was parked a couple thousand miles away. I know I'm exaggerating, but Cel could've parked closer.

It was only a minute before I got back to the car; and by then, Cel had half of his things out of the trunk. He was currently bringing two boxes up the flight of stairs.

I grabbed one of my boxes and followed him to the dorm room. Our room was in the massive three story brick building. It was going to take quite a lot of work to get all my things into the room.

I opened the door with my back, only to reveal a maze of doors. Each door had a metal band on it, showing a engraved number. I soon figured out that the numbers went up the farther down the hallway you went. I looked at my key, which said 236.

"That means it's on the second floor," I muttered to myself. I headed up the flight of stairs, because it was quicker than waiting for the elevator. I also got a workout out of it, too. As I went to the stairwell, I looked at my surroundings. The walls were painted a gold color, assuming I was in the gold winglet (someone tell me the different winglets, because I forgot xD). The doors were more of a pale yellow, making it easier to tell the difference of a wall and a door.

I opened the reinforced stairwell door, only to reveal a boring grey scene. I slowly made my way up the first flight of stairs, carrying the heavy cargo with me. It wasn't relaxing to know you would have to do it eight more times. I groaned at the thought. Maybe the elevator would be easier.

After what felt like forever, I finally reached the second level. I opened the door and saw Cel standing there, a grin on his face. Our dorm room door was open. I moved towards him and went through the door. His stuff was already in the room and had a piece of paper with writing on the door. I leaned in closer and read the paper.

I call dibs on this room.

Cel

I turned around and scowled at him. I put my box in main room, knowing I would be sleeping here. I was saving the other small room to put my recording equipment there. It was going to be just enough space to be livable. I started out the door, heading for the rest of my stuff.

Half hour later...

"That's the last of it."

Looking at all the boxes in front of me, I decided to start placing the pieces together. The recording room would go in the other bedroom. There would be enough space to put the PCs in there. Cel and I could play "Rise to Action" whenever we have nothing to do.

My bed would do on the wall farthest from the door. This would provide enough space to move around and to put the TV on the side wall.

I looked back at Cel, who almost had all of stuff unpacked. I started to unpack too, but I then heard a knock on our door. Groaning, I immediately went to the door, only to come face to face to another NightWing.

But it wasn't just any NightWing.

It was Starflight, one of the nicer dragons in Pyrrhia. He was a big math and science nerd in high school, getting a ton of scholarships to come here. His dad was the CEO of Sky Inc., the most successful company out there. His dad was the one of most well known dragons out there. I was quite shocked when I saw him standing right in front of our door.

Starflight and I were pretty good friends. He was big into video games in his free time, like me. We would play multiplayer all the time in sophomore year and have some amazing times. We also hung out every weekend at the game store with Freakwave and helped each other with projects. I have never told him about my secret either, because Starflight will tell anyone anything if he is threatened, especially by Tsunami.

Things changed when he met Fatespeaker. I started to see him less and less every weekend. The difference now was that he had a girlfriend and I didn't, considering he told me a couple weeks ago. I was happy for him, but I miss the old times when it was just him and I having the time of our lives.

"Hello, Starflight," I said. "What brings you to our dorm. Are you lost or something?"

"Actually," he responded. He was tapping his talons together nervously, as if what he was about to say was going to do something to him, for better and worse. His eyes were looking in every direction. "I am going to be living here too."

Cliff hanger.

I know, I'm a jerk. The next part will be done in two days, I promise. I hope you guys enjoy this new chapter and please review anything that is confusing in the story. Also review for anything you want to see in the story. See you in the next chapter.
