Moving Day

Excitement was in the air, winds of a new beginning blew as new students of Hotchkiss University began to unload their cars and rented moving vans, trudging their belongings into their new home, Sterling Court. For the most part, Sterling Court was a lovely apartment building with a big, green courtyard for recreational activities and conveniently located right across the street from Hotchkiss University, which was why it was so popular for college kids.The building was built in the early 20's as a dormitory for Hotchkiss, but as the school grew, so did the number of people attending. Sterling Court soon became a residential apartment building, still very popular with students. The current residents of Sterling Court watched as the bright and happy new faces moved their furniture and cardboard boxes into the halls and rushed to find their apartments. One of these new faces was Landon Trager. As he moved across the courtyard toward his new home with a arm full of boxes, he watched a group of his new neighbors playing football. He smiled and kept walking.

Landon entered his new apartment as Josh was unpacking some old books.

Landon: Dude, do you really think we're going to need those?

Josh: Why wouldn't we?

Landon: (Put the boxes down) Because, we're in college now! It's gonna be party 24/7 baby! Whooo!

Josh: We still might need these when we actually get around to studying though, don't you think?

Landon: (Shrugs) Whatever dude, so what time are the girls supposed to come by? 

Josh: They should be here any minute...

Zach enters the apartment

Landon: Here's one of them!

Zach: Whatever boy, I can still woop yo ass at beer pong! As I proved last night.

Landon: Come on dude, you can't count that as I win! I was so wasted!

Zach: Yeah, from all the beers you had to drink! Haha!

Josh: Where's your apartment at?

Zach: Down the hall a little ways... have y'all heard from Abby?

Josh and Landon looked at each other

Josh: Uh, yeah man, she's coming later on, along with Spencer and Peyton, they got that huge apartment so they could all live together. 

Zach: That's cool, that's cool.

Landon: Dude, we know what you're thinking...

Zach: What? I just wanna see her, is that so bad?

Josh: Just remember, man, that she's had a rough couple of weeks, getting back together with you might be the farthest thing from her mind. 

Zach: I know that, it's just, that's the whole reason we broke up in the first place, so she could move to New York and go to Julliard. Now that she's back we might stand a chance.

Josh: Just don't act like you're too happy she's back.

Landon: Yeah dude, remember that her scholarship to that fancy school fell through, so she might not be too happy that she's back. 

Zach: I know, I know, but I can't help but be happy.

Peyton enters along with Spencer and Abby.

Peyton: Be happy about what?

Landon: Hey chicks! 

Josh walks over to Peyton and they kiss

Peyton: (Looking at Josh in the eyes) Wow, I'm liking this place already...

Josh: You better, I had to fight tooth and nail to get us in here. 

Landon: For God's sake! Why don't you two get a room!

Spencer: Landon! Shut up!

Landon: Oh come on sis, you were thinking the same thing!

Spencer: I most certainly was not! (She looks around at all the unpacked boxes) Have you two not unpacked yet?

Landon: Whats the big deal? You couldn't have all your stuff unpacked already!

Peyton: Landon! Are you kidding? This is your sister we're talking about, she's already got the apartment spic and span and unpacked!

Abby: The girl's a nut!

Spencer: I'll take that as a compliment Abby.

Abby: Hey, I don't mind, you got my room all straight and nice too! I ain't complainin!

Zach: Hi Abby.

Abby turned and looked at Zach

Abby: Zach? I didn't think you was here?

Zach: Yeah, I'm attending Hotchkiss.

Abby: You are? That's great...

Zach: Abby, I was hoping we could talk later.

Abby: I would like that, Zach. 

The two look at each other.

Peyton: Okay, we better go and let you boys unpack and clean!

Spencer: Yes, indeed. Oh and by the way, did you happen to hear when Geneva and Kim's plane is arriving? 

Landon: Well, considering they took Geneva's private jet, they should be here any time.

Abby: Good, we all need to get together tonight and chillax.

Landon: And drink!

Spencer: No Landon! You drank too much last night.

Landon: Aww come on sis, stop playing the Mrs. Cleaver act with me! We're not in high school anymore!

Spencer: I know, but that's how you conduct yourself most of the time.

Abby: Alright, alright, come on, Peyton lets get her out of here before this turns into one of their weird brother-sister fights.

Peyton: (Grabs Spencer by the arm and blows Josh a kiss) We'll be back tonight!

Josh: I'm counting on it!

Landon: Peace out!

(The girls leave)
