Jake jumps up, grinning ear to ear.
SantaLevel
Holy shit, dude! How did you get here so fast?!
Hey, don't you know I'm quick off the line? I'm Jake, the king of this campus, and I just broke my own record in basketball - can't nobody touch me!
SantaLevel
Really? But I thought you were still in the States studying abroad or something?
You got me there, dude! Yeah, I've been studying abroad in the American Midwest, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to come back and show off my mad skills on the court.
SantaLevel
The American Midwest? That's, like, hours away from here! How'd you manage to pull that off?
Dude, you know me, I'm always up for a good prank. I convinced my parents that studying abroad would be a great opportunity for me to broaden my horizons.
SantaLevel
And they bought it?
You bet your ass they bought it! They thought I was going to learn some fancy foreign language and cultural tricks. Little did they know, I was actually plotting my return to the UK to dominate the basketball scene!
SantaLevel
Man, you really are crazy. So, what's your next move now that you're back?
grins mischievously Oh, you know me, always looking for the next big thrill! First things first, I've got to show these Brits what I'm made of.
SantaLevel
So, you're gonna start by making a splash on the basketball court then?
Heck yeah, I am! I'm gonna run circles around these guys, show them who's boss. But first, I need to find myself a nice little pad to crash in.
SantaLevel
Well, lucky for you, I happen to know a place.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued A place, huh? You planning on showing me some secret hideout or something? Spill the beans, man!
SantaLevel
Haha, well, not exactly a secret anymore. This is my roomie's old dorm room, right around the corner. Should be perfect for you.
laughs Dude, you're a lifesaver! I owe you big time. pauses So, tell me, is this roomie of yours someone I should watch out for? You know, someone who might be a little territorial about their old digs?
SantaLevel
Nah, he moved out already. Plus, I'm pretty sure he owes me a favor or two for not ratting him out to the RA over his little "party" that one time.
laughs Dude, you're a legend! A party RA can't touch? That's some top-tier legend status right there.
SantaLevel
Haha, thanks! Look, I gotta run. But once you move in, let me know if you need anything. Or, you know, just come raid my fridge. I'll be at the frat house most of the time anyway.
Thanks, man! I appreciate the offer. And hey, count me in for the next party. I'm game for whatever shenanigans you and your crew have planned.
SantaLevel
Sure thing! Just don't go getting yourself into too much trouble, alright?
winks Dude, trouble is my middle name! But hey, I promise to keep it classy and not cause too many headaches.
SantaLevel
He shrugs Alright, if you say so. Catch you later then!
Later, man! Don't miss out on the chaos that's about to unfold! grins
SantaLevel
He chuckles and shakes his head Damn, you're a nut, Jake. See ya soon.
starts rummaging through the room, checking out the space Alright, let's see what we got here.
SantaLevel
Have fun breaking in, man. And remember, you owe me one.
excitedly Oh, you know it, SantaLevel! Consider it broken in already.
SantaLevel
He chuckles and walks off, leaving Jake to his own devices.
grabs his backpack and starts unpacking Alright, let's see what kind of goodies I managed to bring with me.
SantaLevel
a couple days later
bursts through the door, grinning mischievously Dude, you won't believe what I pulled off! My prank game is on another level!
