***********************************
When Grayson Dolan decided that he wanted to branch out his junior year of college, he was giddy and amped to start this new adventure. It was going to be the year all about discovering his individuality and finally moving out from behind the shadow of his older brother who – while he loved endlessly – was most likely the reason why Grayson had ended sophomore year with a not-so-impressive GPA, and a hangover that seemed to last the entire second semester.
Moving into an apartment with his friends, Austin and Nick, settling on Architecture as his major, scoring a part-time job as a bouncer at the most popular bar in town, and committing to an intermural volleyball team were all part of his plan for this school year – and he was incredibly excited for it. These were things that Grayson could take pride in. He was entering the last two years of college, and it was time he start establishing who he hoped to be in the future; not like someone he knew who was continually up for “Worst Employee of the Month” at the café in the student center, spent his free weeknights watching too much Hockey and chugging down enough beer to float a ship, and using the blind corner on the ninth floor of the library to do a lot more than just studying with Stacey Haskins from ‘Introduction to Financial Accounting’.
Grayson felt good as he carried the last cardboard box up the steps to his apartment. Sweat glistened beautifully over the exposed skin of his cut-off tank, his biceps were bulging while he lifted the box filled with his speakers and video game consoles to the side to watch his feet in hopes of not tripping blindly over a step, and by what he’d seen so far, his building was filled with gorgeous girls who would strut by him with sly smirks before turning and whispering to each other once they finally passed.
The knowing smile that spread on his face every time he caught a hint of what was being whispered was enough indication to know that he was going to make this year a good one for himself. He thinks maybe he’ll start with the leggy blonde in apartment 34A and see if she really thinks he’s, ‘a walking Adonis’ like he’d heard her say to her red-haired friend he found equally as beautiful.
Grayson was expecting more memories to be made this year than the last, and he was ready to create them on his own. As a normal, typical, every day college student just trying to get by.
But what he wasn’t expecting was to get sucked into another twister of chaos, landing right back in the magical world of Oz where things seemed like they shined in a drunken technicolor.
