Hudson's Dorm

[Hudson Phelps]

There's also a couch, coffee table and television set up just across from his bed. A mini fridge floats somewhere, and a couple game stations. His room is pretty bland, but its cozy.

Jenny hadnt seen Hudson in a year since he was gone taking care of himself. And since he was back, she wasnt going to let him leave again. Knowing Hudson wouldn't care as soon as she got to his dorm she knocked twice to let him know she was here before walking in. Due to not seeing him in a year as soon as she walked in, she dropped her bad before tackling him in a hug.

She let go of him looked at him. "I've missed you Hudson. You looked great. " She smiled at him before grabbing her bag from the doorway and placing it in the corner of his room. She sat down on the edge of his bed and looked up at him. "So, fill me in on everything. How have you been? How's the family? In any relationships? " She asked giving him the tell me everything keep no secrets look.

"I ordered pizza, wings, and soda by the way. That way you didn't have to worry about it. It's on it's way and should be here in thirty minutes. " She gave a sweet smile before waiting for him to fill her in on everything.

Hudson had been laying in his bed all day. He'd gotten dressed, and rather nicely at that. But he hadn't moved since. Etch had called him at about nine in the morning asking if he wanted to go bowling with him and Sam, to which Hudson requested they just come to his dorm instead. Etch said that was fine and that they'd be there at ten. Well, now it was twelve. And there was no sign of either of them.

Just when he was about to give up hope, though, there was a knock at the door. Springing up from his bed, excited as could be, Hudson stopped himself from running to the door. A burst of anger was now hitting him, remembering how late the two were. "Kevin Jeremy Etcham, do you know what time it is?" he shouted as he approached the door, only to step back as Jenny stepped inside. "Oh. You are certainly not Kevin Jeremy Etcham. Nor Samuel William Etcham," he teased with a broad smile as the girl hugged him. "Hi Jen, how've you been?"

When she sat finally, Hudson moved to lean against his desk. "Hmm. Everything?" he mimicked, droning on the word a bit. "Well, I've been good, family sucks as always, in a bit of a relationship, and I'm awfully excited about that pizza and those wings, when did you say it was coming again?" That whole sentence was just a mash-up of words. Hudson really had no intent of talking about EVERYTHING with Jenny. As close as they were and as long as they'd been friends, he wasn't even ready to admit certain things to himself.

"How about you. How are you?" he tried changing the subject, rubbing a hand behind his head and pushing the beanie off so he could run back through his hair: a habit he'd picked up ever since letting it grow in.

Jenny laughed when he asked when the pizza was coming again. "In like... Forty five minutes it should be here." She opened her eyes in shock when he said he was in a relationship. "Who are you in a relationship with??? And who are Kevin and Sam? Did you invite people?" She asked biting her bottom lip. She didn't do good with new people, at all. They made her nervous and most of them thought she was the freaky shy girl.

"I've been good, still shy as always. Still a loner, and sticking to myself." Jenny couldn't help but laugh. She was honest though. She didn't have a lot of friends and she was honest about that. "Wait a second... Are those boys Kevin and Sam coming over? Please tell me they're not Hudson. You know how bad I am with new people and they might think i'm weird... And well, I am but still." She looked at him with begging eyes honestly hoping he wasn't going to invite them.

She watched Hudson take his beanie off and she smiled. Hudson had always been cute, but she never had actually feelings for him like she had other guys. He was more of that older brother who was hot type of friend. His hair got longer too, and that definitely made him look better. She knew whoever it was that was in a relationship now was very lucky, mainly because he was gorgeous and had such a adorable and loving personality anyone would be lucky to have him.

Jenny heard a knock at the door and raised a eye brow at Hudson, "I hope that's the pizza guy super early." She said giving him a look. God bless her heart if it was those two boys he had thought she was when she had walked in.

"Who said I'm in a relationship?" Hudson asked, trying to sound completely confused but he'd never been good at lying. "I'm not in a.. well. I don't.. Hmm." He decided to pause there. He knew she wasn't going to let this go, but he was going to beat around the bush as much as physically possible until he told her what was actually up. He was more than thankful when she switched the subject, too.

"Aw you're not that much of a loner! And you can't be as weird as some people out there. Have you seen Jaxon?" Hudson laughed. His smile was suddenly gone, though, when there was a knock at the door. Shit. When Jenny had come through the door instead of Etch, he'd kind of forgotten that they were supposed to be coming at all. "I hope that's the pizza guy, too..." Hudson said in a defeated voice as he approached the door. He hesitated to open it though, suddenly sure of what he should say to Jenny about the whole relationship thing.

"I don't have a girlfriend," he said, a strong and convincing smile on his face. It wasn't a lie, so it wasn't hard to say. But of course, just as he'd said it, here came Etch and Sam just letting themselves in.

"Whoa I don't have a girlfriend either," Etch said, taking Hudson into a headlock and fluffing his hair. "I like this long hair thing. I can properly noogie you now," he added, before looking up. "Oh you have company! I thought you were talking to yourself. Trying to reassure the facts. Hi, I'm Etch. This caveman is brother, Sam. Best friend of Hudson Phelps, that's me." Walking closer to Jenny, Etch put his hand out for her to shake. Sam simply stood in the doorway, eyeing Hudson suspiciously. Hudson hadn't lifted his head since they'd walked in.

"Sorry, Jen. I.. forgot they were coming.." he said shyly, practically shutting down.

"You forgot we were coming? Hudson! I'm hurt!" Etch was being ridiculously over dramatic as he took a seat on the bed next to Jenny. "I hope you don't mind if I sit here," he said sweetly with a gentle smile before tossing Hudson's beanie (which he'd sneakily taken) back to him. "What, no introduction, Hudson?"

"Etch, Sam. Jenny," he said almost weakly.

[Jennifer Taynton]

“Hey, Hudson it’s fine. No big deal. They're your friends, this is your dorm. You can have whoever you want over. “ Jenny turned to Etch who was now on the bed next to her and she felt her face suddenly getting warm and she could tell it was getting very red. “I um-” Jenny couldn't help but stutter on what she was trying to say and she suddenly felt like a idiot. “I'm Jenny.”

She thought back to what the boy who had made a very loud entrance said and couldn't help but laugh and raise a eyebrow. “This is why you invited them, Hudson. You wanted me to meet my competition! “ She turned towards Etch and gave him a look, “I’m the best friend of Hudson Phelps. Nice try.” She said that before laughing.

Jenny looked from Hudson , to the Sam guy, and to Etch who was sitting beside her. “And I don’t mind.” She said when he mentioned her not minding if he sat there. The gentle sweet smile he put on his face almost made her heart drop. She already felt butterflies in stomach when he tossed Hudson’s beanie back to him.

She looked up at Hudson and gave him the ‘you didn't mention your friend was gorgeous’ look she knew he had became familiar with after years of being her friend. “Just so you guys know, Pizza’s on the way so i'm guessing you'll be staying for that.”She said with a laugh and she could suddenly feel her idioticness coming in.

She looked from Sam to Etch again , “So how long have you guys known Hudson?” She knew if someone didn't keep a conversation going this night could become so very awkward. So she figured she might as well start one up for the sake of all of them not having an awkward night and for the sake of her not sounding like a loser.

[Kevin Etcham]

"Aw fuck yea I love pizza," Etch said in a dazed tone as he stared at the ground, kicking off his shoes. "Hudson, mind if we stay? I might we were invited like hours ago..."

"Yea, hours ago!" Hudson repeated, throwing his arms up, but breaking into a smile as Sam nudged him.

"How long have we known him? Hmm well.. fuck, Sam how long's it been?"

Sam shrugged. "Well I haven't really known him as long as you," he said. It would probably be the most he said all night, and the fact that he was now crossing his arms showed that. He was closing up. Sam wasn't one for talking.

"Well I mean our family, idiot," he turned back to Jenny. "I dunno, maybe since like... seventh grade? That's when we moved into town. I'm gonna assume you've known him longer?" He laughed a bit at the end of that and smiled at her. She was awfully pretty. "Do you game?"

"Etch..."

"Shush, Sam, I'm making friends. Do you game, Jenny? Hudson invited us over a while ago to play some video games."

[Jennifer Taynton]

"I've known Hudson for... Oh god. Since we were like kids. We were both in the third grace. He's two years older though, and he's always been the big brother i've never had. " Jenny couldn't help but laugh when he made the comment about her knowing him longer. "Our families are very close. " She said looking up at Hudson and giving him a smile .

Jenny's face turned red again right before it started to actually relax when he said he was making friends. "Is it weird that I can probably kick your ass at C.O.D black ops?" She asked raising an eye brow. That was definitely a challenge too.

There was another knock at the door a couple seconds later and she knew who that was. She walked over to her bag of clothes/stuff and pulled out her wallet before walking to the door. She opened the door to the pizza guy and smiled. She ordered two pizzas (one cheese & one pepperoni), hot wings, and pepsi. It ended up coming to around twenty four dollars and some change.

She took the pizza and placed it on the desk before doing the same with the wings and the soda. She opened her wallet and took out a twenty and a ten. "You can keep the change." She told the guy before shutting the door knowing he'd be happy to be leaving with a five dollar.

"I know I got what Hudson and I like, but i'm sure you'll like something that I ordered at least."She said with a smile grabbing the paper plates and cups that Hudson stored in his room and putting it on the desk too for the boys to grade whenever.
