Mary-Kate and Ashley are starting college. They can't wait! It doesn't get any better than this! That's what Ashley thinks — until she meets her roommate, Zoe. Zoe is just like Ashley — smart and competitive. But soon they are competing over all of the same things: classes, friends, and even the same guy.
Meanwhile, Mary-Kate has a great roommate and the perfect guy. He's cute, makes her laugh, and totally understands her. Only oneproblem — Mary-Kate already has a boyfriend!
The twins are starting college, which is great, except for the fact that Ashley lands a roommate that wants to compete for everything and Mary-Kate meets the perfect guy but already has a boyfriend.
Southern California, we have a problem.
Big-time.
Mary-Kate Olsen stood in the center of her bedroom, hands on her hips, her bright blue eyes doing a quick survey as she turned her head from side to side. At least she thought she was in the center of her room. It was kind of hard to tell, since the room itself was pretty much buried under all her...
There was really only one word for it.
Stuff, she thought.
Not that that should be mistaken for a diss. It was all really great stuff. The trouble was, its overall greatness was part of the problem. Mary-Kate and her sister, Ashley, were leaving for college on the East Coast first thing in the morning. Super-organized Ashley was already packed-had been for days. But Mary-Kate was still struggling after a solid week of attempting to pack.
What we have here is a heart-brain failure to communicate, she decided as she climbed over two open suitcases, half a dozen piles of sweaters, and a stack of CDs on her way to the bed. She sat down with a whoosh and hugged the pillow her mom had given her for her last birthday to her chest. Her brain kept downloading useful information about what not to pack, which her heart kept right on ignoring.
Take this pillow, for instance, she thought. Her mom had discovered it at a local antique shop. It was quirky and fun, and Mary-Kate absolutely loved it. It was also... large. That was the part Mary-Kate had to acknowledge. She tossed it into the nearest open suitcase. Yep. Pretty much what I thought.
Her fabulous, wacky pillow took up a third of a suitcase all on its own. The practical thing to do would be to leave it behind. But how could she bear to do such a thing? She loved that pillow. It made her smile every time she saw it.
Maybe I could have one suitcase that's just personal mementos, she thought. That way she could also take along her collection of wildlife posters. A girl had to put something on her dorm-room walls, after all. And if she took the posters, she might as well take along the...
Stop! she told herself as she shot to her feet. Stop!
Stop! STOP! This was precisely what she'd been doing for the entire past week and it was all too obvious it hadn't gotten her very far.
"Don't go there, Mary-Kate," she murmured. "Oh, great! Now I'm talking to myself."
Plainly the time had come to call for reinforcements.
Suddenly inspired, she hopped over a pile of sock to reach her desk. She started typing on her laptop.
Mary***Kate invites AshleyO to Instant Message.
Mary***Kate: This is special agent MKO calling special agent AO. Surrounded by enemy forces. Immediate assistance desperately needed. Help. Help. HELP! :0
It only took moments for Ashley's response to appear.
AshleyO: RU joking? Thought your mission was almost accomplished.
Mary***Kate: No way. It's impossible!
AshleyO: Ha-ha. Very funny. :-P
Mary***Kate: Hurry! They're attacking! I can't hold out much longer! Arrghhhhh!
"Ever consider not trying to pack every single thing you own?" Ashley inquired dryly a few moments later from the bedroom doorway. From the look on her sister's face, Mary-Kate could see that Ashley was having a hard time not laughing.
"For heaven's sake, Mary-Kate!" Ashley exclaimed now. "What have you been doing in here all this time?"
