Dorm 206

Prologue & I

It all started when Leo was asked to join the theatre department. From that day during the fall semester of his softmore year, he became a member of the backstage crew. At first, he didn't think he really wanted to but the girls practically dragged him there, and, as the lead set builder, he would be working with one person in particular. It was someone he had seen hanging with the many suitors of his roommate, Percy Jackson. Someone he didn't have the courage to say anything other than a few words concerning their current project. Someone who began to haunt his dreams. 


I:

Leo saw that one person from across the stage. That person was discussing with a gaffer how one of the scenes should look. That person who was promoted to assistant stage manager at the end of last year, though Leo wasn't there for that.
Leo heard the call for the end of the shifts. He needed to get to his next class, but Leo finally had the courage to speak to that person. Of course\, before Leo could take a single step, the stage caught fire and crashed down around him. It was just a dream, but Leo woke to his own screams.

Leo's roommate, Percy Jackson, was laughing from his side of the dorm. Leo wouldn't admit it, but he was jealous of Percy. At lest twice a week, Percy had a girl, and sometimes the occasional guy, in his bed. (Which was much better than Leo's roommate from the year before who stole or broke most of Leo's belongings.) Tonight was the blonde girl Percy spent the most time with.
"Wake up Annabeth, why don't ya?" Leo growled.
The mess of blonde hair turned over. "Your screaming already did that."
"Some dream you were having. One minute all peaceful and then BOOM! You go nuts. What's with you Leo?"
Leo turned his back on the couple and threw his blankets over his head. "How about we all just go back to sleep?"
"Fine, but you owe me in the morning."
"Me owe you? I always have to accommodate for you. You owe me big time."
Percy yawned. "Just tell me what you suggest and I'll get right on it."
Sure you will.
