Sounds like Claire is off to a good start. I hope it stays this good the rest of the year for her

I'm glad Claire found a kindred spirit.

Chapter 519 SALEM UNIVERSITY Trix and Carly walked down the hall and found the room marked “B. Alamain & R. Gilmore”. TRIX: Right, here it is. CARLY: Would you like some help setting things up? TRIX: That’d be great, actually. Trix opened the door and she and Carly carried her boxes in. The other half of the room had already been set up, and it’s occupant was currently asleep. The girl on the bed looked familiar to Trix. CARLY (whispering): This is really nice! Trix nodded. The two began setting up Trix’s things, and got the bed together fairly quickly. They tried to do so quietly so as not to wake Trix’s sleeping roommate. TRIX (whispering): Thanks for all the help, and for bringing me here, Gran. I think I’ve got it from here. CARLY (whispering): All right, honey. If you need anything else, call me or your father anytime. Carly hugged Trix and kissed the top of her head. CARLY (whispering): Good luck. TRIX (whispering): Cheers. Carly walked out of the room. Trix continued setting her half of the room up. A short time later, she heard her roommate stir. Trix looked over as the girl sat up. Now, she recognized her. It was Rayne, the nighttime R.A. who had shown her around during registration. TRIX: Sorry, didn’t mean to wake you. RAYNE: What time is it? Trix looked at her watch. TRIX: Half four. I really am sorry. I was trying to be quiet. RAYNE: Don’t worry about it. It’s 4:30, so I was gonna be waking up soon anyway. So, you’re my roommate this year, huh? TRIX: Yep. I’m Beatrix Alamain. My friends call me Trix. RAYNE: Rayne Gilmore. I’m one of the R.A.s here. TRIX: I remember. I was in one of the groups you showed around during registration week. Rayne nodded. RAYNE: Gotcha. So, where’re you from? Sorry, just asking because I’m still half asleep and trying to identify the accent. TRIX: Australia. Melbourne, specifically. RAYNE: Nice. TRIX: You ever been? RAYNE: No. Too many things that wanna kill you there. TRIX: Well, that’s only the Outback. Melbourne’s a city, just like Chicago. Actually, last year, it was voted Most Livable City. RAYNE: Sounds cool. TRIX: So, you’re the nighttime R.A., then? RAYNE: Yep. I have a shift from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Luckily, mine’s the quieter shift, so I can usually get most of my classwork done then. Since I assume you’re not taking night classes, we probably won’t be seeing much of each other. HORTON CENTER Eric stood up. ERIC: Well, this certainly is a surprise. How are you? JADE: Oh, I’m okay. ERIC: That’s good. What brings you to Salem? Jade shrugged. JADE: Stuff with my aunt wasn’t working out the way I thought it would. No surprises there. ERIC: Well, I am sorry to hear that, but I’m glad to see you. I have a room here at the Horton Center, if you need a place to stay. JADE: That’d be great, actually. ERIC: Excellent. So, come on in. Take a seat. How’s Emmy? Eric noticed that Jade didn’t appear to have a stroller with her, nor did she have Emmy. ERIC: And, if you don’t mind me asking, where’s Emmy? |

That is a good question, Eric. I hope Emmy is okay and Jade didn't abandon her. I hope Rayne doesn't turn out to be a problem. Having a roommate that works all night could be tricky since Trix will likely be around during times she wants to sleep. Great chapter André DiMera. |

Oh I hope that Emmy is ok.
I don't know why, but I'm kinda nervous about Rayne. I hope I'm wrong about her.

Good question Eric!
If Trix's roommate is the resident advisor, that means she will be gone most nights. I have a feeling that means Ciara may be visiting.

Chapter 520 SALEM UNIVERSITY HOPE: You’re sure you don’t need anything else, honey? Hope had been helping Ciara set up her room. CIARA: I’ll be fine, Mom. HOPE: All right. Well, if you need anything, you know I’m just a phone call away. CIARA: I know. Hope and Ciara hugged. HOPE: Good luck, sweetheart. CIARA: Thanks. And thanks for helping me get set up. Hope nodded. The two smiled at each other, and then Hope left. Ciara looked around her room, and continued putting things up. One of the last things she took out of her box was a picture. It was from years ago, when she was a little kid. Though she couldn’t remember the exact events surrounding it, the picture was of her with her parents sitting outside, Ciara sitting on Bo’s lap. Ciara kissed her hand, then put said hand on Bo’s face. She smiled at the picture, then began putting her clothes in the closet. She was so distracted putting things away that she didn’t hear the door open. She did hear the Irish lily in the voice that spoke. NOELLE: Well, this looks very cozy. Ciara stopped what she was doing. CIARA (under her breath): Oh no... She turned around to see Noelle putting boxes on the unoccupied bed. CIARA: Oh hell no! NOELLE: Nice to see you too, Ciara. DANIEL & NICOLE’S APARTMENT NICOLE: Artōrius Green, my father’s financial advisor and filmographer. GREEN: Nicole Walker, my favourite subject. NICOLE: Get out! GREEN: What, you’re not even going to invite me in before throwing me out? NICOLE: As far as I’m concerned you can go the same place as my father is. Hell, where you both belong! GREEN: Things are different now, Nicole. NICOLE: Yeah, you don’t have my father to cast and star in your sick films. You just have a poor, poor man’s imitation of him. GREEN: I’m here to speak to you about Dante. NICOLE: The little freak who came around here making claims about being my brother? Yeah, I don’t think so! GREEN: Whether you want to believe him or not, it’s true. Now, we all know how fond Paul was of testing out his actresses- NICOLE: Don’t remind me! GREEN: Of course, by the time young Dante was born, Paul had been caught by Abe Carver. He entrusted me to watch out for the boy. Then, he met his untimely death. NICOLE: I think you’ve got a different definition of untimely than I do. In my opinion, it wasn’t soon enough. GREEN: Anyway, Dante is now my protege. NICOLE: Spreading the sickness to others. Very you. GREEN: The business isn’t what it was before, Nicole. Dante and I have changed it. However, I’m going to need your help. NICOLE: As if I’d believe a word that comes out of your lying mouth! You think you can just walk in here, into my house, after the hell you and my father put me through, and you have the gall to ask me for help?! You sick son of a- The door opened and Daniel walked in. DANIEL: What’s going on here? |

I'm glad Nicole stood up to Mr. Green. Interested to see what Daniel does. I think Ciara had better request a room change ASAP! Great chapter André DiMera. |

Chapter 521 SALEM UNIVERSITY Like the others, Chase was putting up his things in his dorm room. CHASE: Thanks for the help, Dad. AIDEN: No problem. Aiden and Chase hugged. AIDEN: Take care, son. Good luck. CHASE: Thanks. I’ll see you later. Aiden nodded, patted Chase on the shoulder, and walked out. Chase took a few books out of a box and began sorting them on his desk. The room’s other occupant soon entered. He was a few years older than Chase. BOY: Oh, hey. So, you’re one of the new kids, huh? CHASE: Yep. Chase Jennings. BOY: Maddox Chaffin. You can just call me Mads, everyone does. Chase and Maddox shook hands. CHASE: Good to meet you. MADDOX: You too. Looks like you’re all settled in. CHASE: I’m getting there. MADDOX: Cool. Maddox’s phone buzzed. MADDOX: Well, looks like this introduction is gonna have to be cut short, ‘cause I gotta head out. Still, I’m sure we’ll get to know each other more later. CHASE: Yeah, that’d be good. MADDOX: Well, welcome to Salem U. Maddox grabbed a bag off of his bed and walked out the door. A few doors down, Joey was putting his things in his room. Steve and Kayla had left already, but Joey wasn’t alone. THEO: I think it’s really cool that we’re roommates. JOEY: Yeah. I mean, at least we know each other. THEO: Exactly. Even though, from what I have read, part of the college experience involves meeting new people, it will be nice sharing a room with someone I know. Joey nodded. THEO: So, I’ve devised a system for the mini refrigerator that my dad brought, as I am more than happy to share, if you would like somewhere to put food. Would you like to see it? JOEY: In a few minutes, dude. Just let me finish putting away my clothes, first. THEO: Okay. I’m excited to be starting college. JOEY: Me too, man. Me too. TITAN Jody and Vic stared at the e-mail from Tony. VIC: Should we, ya know, open it? JODY: Could be a virus. I’ll run it through Titan’s anti-virus program and then we’ll check it out. VIC: Good idea. The phone on Jody’s desk rang. Jody picked it up. JODY: Hello? We did, actually. We were just about to run it through Pet Control...Really? You’re sure? Okay. You got it. Jody hung up the phone. VIC: Well? JODY: That was Philip. He said to just delete the e-mail. He says it’s garbage. VIC: That’s weird. Vic leaned forward. VIC: Let’s check it out, anyway. JODY: I dunno, bro. VIC: Well, if it is garbage, what’s the harm in taking a look? Come on, Pest Control says it’s clean, so let’s just have a look. Whatever the CEO of DiMera sent us, it’ll be a laugh. JODY: True. Jody clicked on the e-mail. It read: “I think it’s time we meet again to discuss plans re: our friend Mr. Alamain. Pick a time and place. Best wishes. -T. DiMera”. VIC: Well, that’s weird. Why would the CEO of DiMera Enterprises, our biggest competition, want to meet to discuss the CEO of Alamain Industries, our second biggest competition? JODY: More importantly, why did Philip feel he had to hide it from us? |

I have my doubts that was really Philip who said that. Chase's roommate seems like trouble. Glad Joey and Theo are rooming together. I hope Theo doesn't drive Joey nuts. Great chapter André DiMera |

Seems like Tony wants the twins to know about something, even if Philip doesn't.

Chapter 522 SALEM UNIVERSITY Claire, Ciara and Trix sat in the common room. Barely anybody else was in there yet. Claire was telling the other two about her roommate. CLAIRE: ...and she plays guitar, too! I think this is gonna be great! So, how are your roommates? TRIX: Well, I’ve got the nighttime R.A., Rayne, so that’ll be interesting. I mean, since we’re on different sleep schedules. But, I think my classes are all when she’ll be wanting to sleep, so it should work out fine. CIARA: It might be a bit of a challenge, but I guarantee your roommate’s better than mine. TRIX: How d’you reckon? CIARA: I got the roommate from hell. CLAIRE: Ci, it’s only been a few hours. Surely it can’t be that bad. CIARA: No, I’m actually downplaying it. It’s worse. TRIX: Well, who’s your roommate? CIARA: Noelle. SAMI & LUCAS’ APARTMENT SAMI: It’s so good to see you! BRANDON: You too. SAMI: What are you doing in town? BRANDON: Well, Nicole called me so I decided it was time I came back here. SAMI: What’s Nicole done now? Brandon gave Sami a look. BRANDON: Sami… SAMI: Okay, sorry. I know she’s your sister, but you know how Nicole and I feel about each other. BRANDON: I thought you guys patched things up. SAMI: In a manner of speaking. We’ve agreed to at least be civil, for Sydney’s sake. BRANDON: Good. Sydney walked up. SYDNEY: Okay, I’m ready. Who’s this? SAMI: This is a very old friend of mine. He’s your uncle Brandon. Sydney’s eyes grew wide. She practically bounced forward. SYDNEY: You’re Mommy Nicole’s big brother! Oh my gosh! Mommy Nicole’s told me all about you! I’m so excited to meet you! BRANDON: I’m glad to meet you, too. Nicole’s told me a lot about you, as well. SYDNEY: Are you staying with Mommy Nicole and her boyfriend? BRANDON: For now, until I find my own place. LUCAS: Oh, you’re moving back here? BRANDON: Yeah, I thought I’d stick around for a while. LUCAS: Ah. SYDNEY: Mommy, let’s go! We don’t wanna be late! SAMI: Just a minute, honey. Well, Brandon, it is so good to see you, but sadly, we’ve gotta go. We’ve gotta get to school. BRANDON: School? At this time of the day? SAMI: It’s Open House night at Salem Junior High and Sydney wants to be the first one there. SYDNEY: Not the first. I just really want you to meet my teachers. SAMI: And we will, just give me a second. BRANDON: Well, I’ll let you guys head out, then. SAMI: Don’t think this means you’re getting out of spending time with us later. I wanna know all about what you’ve been up to since we last talked. SYDNEY: And I wanna spend more time with you, too. Maybe you and me and Mommy Nicole can all do something together! Brandon chuckled. BRANDON: I’d like that. We’ll see you guys later. Good to meet you, Sydney. Sami, Lucas, see you later. Brandon turned around and walked out. |

I'm sure Sami just looooved hearing Sydney talk about Mommy Nicole every two seconds. LOL I wonder what the others will have to say about Noelle being Ciara's roommate. Great chapter André DiMera! Will there be previews? |

I hate that Ciara's stuck with Noelle. But this may give NOelle a chance to get some things off her chest and it won't be so bad after all (at least I can hope for Ciara's sake).
So glad that Brandon finally got to meet Sydney.
