Pat

We got back to school, and it was a long-ass drive. It wouldn't be terrible, but when everyone is making goo-goo eyes at each other, it's nauseating. I didn't hear from Britt, and I'm wondering if she's still interested in me.

Ma and Pops returned with us to help get us settled, and I rode with them. Better my parents, then listening to the others speak sweet nothings. Can I gag now?

We got to the rental house, and Shaun is staying with us along with Presley's insecure chick, fantastic.

"Okay, everyone get settled, then we will discuss things," Pops told us.

I took my bags to my room and set them down. I unpacked and made sure everything was in its place. While Parker is a slob, I'm not. Payton, Pax, and Presley keep their bedrooms semi-neat. I like my stuff organized.

I walked out of my bedroom to hear Presley and his girl. Pax came out of his bedroom with Shaun.

"What are those two arguing about now?" Pax asked me.

"Beats the hell out of me, but I'm not dealing with this all year," I replied.

"Christ, isn't there one day that we don't have to listen to those two argue?" Parker mentioned.

Payton walked over to Presley's bedroom and handled little brother.

"Listen, I get you two have issues, but we aren't listening to you both argue all school years. You have other people who live here and don't want to listen to you," Payton told Presley and Eliza.

"Come on, Pay," Presley said.

"No, Pres, deal with it," Payton ordered as he left the bedroom.

Presley looked at Eliza, who furrowed her brows. "See what you started."

"What? I can't have concerns?" Eliza asked.

"Concerns, yes. Insecurities, no," Presley answered.

Eliza looked at Presley with concern.

"I love you, but you can't keep worrying if I'm looking around on you," Presley said.

Eliza nodded as Presley hugged her and kissed the top of her head. Let's hope that Eliza chills out, or issues will happen. We went downstairs as Pops talked to us. We went over a few things, and my mind drifted to Britt.

We didn't know what transpired over the summer between Britt and her dad, only Nora knew.

Sam

I stepped off the bus and made my way to the admission's office. I picked up my schedule and then hit the bookstore. Thanks to scholarships, I could attend school.

Thanks to some computer skills, I secured a dorm room. I made my way to the dorm and found my room. I looked around to find another bed in it. I picked a bed and set my stuff down.

I started unpacking as the door opened and heard two voices.

"That must be your roommate, Hayden," a guy said.

"I guess so. Hey, I'm Hayden," the guy introduced himself.

I turned around and said, "Sam."

"I'm Markus," the other guy introduced himself.

"Hey," I said.

"Are you new?" Markus asked me.

"Yeah, I transferred schools," I answered.

They looked at me strangely.

"Later, dudes," I said, leaving the dorm room.

I left the dorm and went to get my books. After collecting the textbooks that I needed, I took them to the front and handed the voucher to the cashier. I waited as the cashier took care of me and heard voices behind me.
