Life Goes on at The Rebels' Dorm

After Chipmunk's death, life went on for The Rebels at the University. 

Alexa was happy because she had found the love of her life. (That's why she had rejected Derek before).

Her love was named Erick Grimm, he was in the Communicaction career and that trimester he had become a roomie for The Rebels's dormitory.

Alexa and Eric became boyfriend and girlfriend immediately, and were thinking of moving in together after graduation. Of course, first they will have to get jobs, but in the meantime they'd live at the Rebels' home in Starlight Shores.

Alexa and Clark don't get along well.

They had many arguments this last trimester. The reason?

Clark wasn't studying for the exams, or helping with the cleaning of the dormitory, cause he spends his time thinking of just one person...

Paris Vanderbuilt.

Paris liked Clark too, but she didn't have time for him cause she was too focused in finishing her studies in Physical Education.

Besides, she was still in love with Landon and dreamed of graduating soon to move to Starligth Shores and be able to live close to him. (Even when Landon was married).

Everybody knew, including Alexa, that Paris was not to be trusted.

 

That's why Alexa was angry with Clark. She couldn't understand how he could date a girl who was in love with somebody else. Derek, on the other hand, could understand Clark perfectly.

Cause now Alexa was Eric's girlfriend, so he didn't have any hope, but he continued to think about her.

And Leonard could relate to Paris, cause, just like her, he was still in love with his ex, Sophie Mander, but she was still MIA.

Leonard thought about Sophie all the time, but he knew he had to forget her and go on with his life.

Leonard: It's over, Soph, I'll graduate, I'll leave this place and forget you.

Those were the last days at school, everybody wanted to prepare for the exams, but they also wanted to celebrate.

Derek: Hey, don't finish all the beer, I want to drink too.

Leonard tried to invite Shely Corazo on a date, but she didn't accept cause she's in love with somebody else. In passing, Leonard found out that 'somebody else' was Derek. Perhaps he should know this information? But, what for? If they all would leave the campus soon and maybe they wouldn't see Shely again.

Goodbye Chipmunk, The Rebels' Pet

Leonard and Alexa spent great part of the day tending the garden at The Rebels dorm.

When Alexa went back in, Clark gave her the disastrous news.

Alexa: "Oh, no. Not our dear Chipmunk".

Yes, their adored rodent has died. What a tragedy!

Alexa stays alone with him for a while.

Alexa: Poor Chipmunk... Wait until Leonard finds out.

Leonard already found out.   

Leonard: What? Oh, Chipmunk, no...

Leonard: It can't be, it's all my fault, I should've fed him before going out to the garden.

Paris was one of the most affected by Chipmunks demise.

Paris: No, it's my fault, I was here upstairs, I should have fed him.

Cuando Derek arrived from his class, he found Clark crying in front of an empty terrarium.

Derek: Clark? What's going on, where's Chipmunk?

Clark gave Derek the terrible news.

Derek: ¡Noooo!

Derek isn't sentimental at all, but Chipmunk's sudden death has left him devastated.

Derek: Will someone explain me, how could this possibly happen?

Paris: None of us remembered to feed Chipmunk, we are all guilty, forgive us, Chipmunk.

Clark: There's nothing we can do now, except to give Chipmunk a dignified funeral.

Chipmunk was a very loved pet for The Rebels, they will find it difficult to cope with their loss, but maybe with time...

Derek and Alexa, the Romance that Couldn't be

Derek Khan kept trying to invite Alexa Karam on a date, but she never accepted.

Alexa: Sorry, Derek, but my heart belongs to someone else.

Derek: May I know who he is?

Alexa: Nop, it's a secret.

Poor Derek, one more from The Rebels dormitory that hasn't been able to find a girlfriend.

"Patientce Khan, the love of your life will come".

Landon's Roomies

Landon's University Life before knowing Celeste Bentley was very peaceful, but also a bit lonely, so he decided to look for roomies, some of which would become the members of his first musical band.

One of the first to arrive was Debbie Richards, she studied Business and had a degree in Science and Medicine, but she was good with the guitar. She doesn't have a very good temper, but with Landon she was always special. In fact, rumors had it that she had fallen in love with him since the beginning.

Then came Alexa,  (Asala Karam's younger sister, according to my story). She had and even more difficult temper than Debbie's, but she was a loyal friend for Landon. She was in the Fine Arts career but she didn't finish it, now she studies Technology.

"Is this okay?"

"Yeah, that's it. It's perfect, Deb".

"Can I see the sketch?"

"Patience, I'm almost done".

"One last touch, and..."

"Done! What do you think?"

A long silence from Debbie, and then...

"It's perfect, all your drawings are. You'll be a great artist, Landon".

"Thanks, Deb, but I want to be a musician".

The third roomie to arrive was Kyle Heilman, a guitarist. With him and Debbie, Landon formed his first band: The Rebels.

Kyle studied Art, Technology, Business and Physical Education, he was the most quiet and reliable of the roomies. That was why he quickly became Landon's best friend and his right hand in the band.

Then came Paris Vanderbuilt, with whom Landon had a brief romance before knowing Celeste. Paris didn't study Arts, but Business, so she wasn't a part of the band.

Another classmate who joined later was Mugsy Brotoaski, a Physical Education, Fine Arts and Communication student, and also The Rebels drummer. When he arrived in the house, Alexa didn't receive him well.

Especially because of Mugsy's insistence in starting a romance with her.

"Eww, no thanks!"

Alexa isn't romantic at all and she hated Mugsy entering her room, especially when she was wearing just her underwear.

"Mugsy, I already told you I won't be your girlfriend, when will you understand?"

Shortly after, Landon met Clark Gant. The first thing he did was to draw him.

Just like Debbie, Clark was fascinated with Landon's drawings. Later he joined the group as a roomie, although not as a band member, cause Clark isn't a musician, he studied Fine Arts, Technology and Business.

With the company of these friends Landon was able to live his University Life. There weren't any surprises, except maybe Paris' insistence in restarting their relationship, which Landon declined, cause he ahd fallen in love with Celeste.

Time went by very quickly, and without noticing it, along with the next winter, Graduation day arrived
