Graduation and Two New Roomies

Along with the winter, another trimester started at St. John University.

A new roomie arrived to The Rebels' dorm, her name is Marsha Barrington and she studies the Fine Arts career.

Clark is in the same class with Leonard.

Derek didn't have class so he went ice skating.

Leonard forgot about Sophie Mander for the moment, now he's dating Paty Hong, the other roomie who arrived to the dorm recently.

Paty and Leonard had hit it off, let's hope they last. Paty is in the Science and Medicine career and used to be Che Justice's girlfriend, but she broke up with him shortly before she met Leonard.

Graduation day arrived, Leonard and Eric get ready, with them is their new roomie, Marsha, and their ex roomie, Kyle Heilman, who came from Starlight Shores to attend the ceremony.

Eric has put on his robe.

Eric: And here we go, let's get that degree! Alexa, you'll be proud of me.

And that's it, Eric has graduated.

Out of emotion, he kisses his Technology diploma.

He can't believe it, after all those years repeating trimesters, he'll finally leave the University.

Derek graduated too (at last!). Though, as the rebel he is, he refused to wear a robe.

But he's happy just the same, for having gotten his Fine Arts degree.

Another graduated was Clark Gant, who didn't wear a toga for the ceremony either.

Clark obtained a Business degree. It was about time!

Leonard already had a degree in Science and Medicine, but this time he got one in Fine Arts.

Now University is over!

After the graduation, they all left for Starlight Shores to join the other Rebels. There they will have to look for jobs and start to build their future.

The Rebels dorm has been left empty, but not for long. Paty and Marsha will return after the winter holidays to continue with their studies. And new roomies will join them for sure.

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...
