Generation 8, Chapter 1 : Welcome To University.

University.

University.

... University. Moving to University felt like I was starting 'life' in a way, moving out of my parents house, leaving most of my friends and family and living in a dorm... full of strangers. The one reassuring thing was that I had my big brother by my side for some sort of family company!

The campus was pretty big, spreading across a wide, green piece of land. If you come to think of it, most of the land is occupied by Student Homes and Dorms and all the classrooms and actually in the city centre of the campus.

At first, Ceallach rented a Private Student Home for us to live in for the time being but I somehow persuaded him to live in a Dorm alongside me, you know, so we could receive the proper University Experience.

''This bloody suitcase is so freaking heavy!'' I said, huffing as I put my large suitcase on the gravel.

''Well if you never cancelled our Private Home we wouldn't even have to be carrying suitcases, the moving truck would of!'' He replied, grunting as he flew his suitcase on the ground.



''Oh stop being so antisocial! Plus who know's you might meet the future Mrs. Cronwell at University!'' I said, winking at him.

''Yeah , sure... Like that will happen...'' He said, sighing. Don't get me wrong, my brother is one handsome fella... it's just... he doesn't have the best luck with women. He's only had one girlfriend and that was about four years ago in the middle of his sort college days.

''I'm hoping you could be my Mrs. Thompson one day...'' A unfamiliar, deep voice said from behind me. I turned around to see a rather tanned... sexy man wink at me.

''Oh is that right... Mr - er - Thompson?'' I literally blurted back out. I've always had a flirty personality inside me which wasn't the best at some times... like these.

''Well yes, it is...'' He replied back, winking one more time at me. Ceallach coughed loudly and I sort of came out of trance and quickly focused on him instead.

''I think we should unpack now, Stella.'' My brother said to me, eyeing up the mysterious, sexy guy and firmly talking to me as well.

''Yeah... In a second....'' I replied.

''So what's your name, wait, let me guess... Emily?'' He asked me, swaying his shoulders left and right.

''Close mate... but not close, my sister's name is Stella and she's here to work, and work only.'' Ceallach rudely butted in. He looked him up and down once more and they both exchanged rude gestures.

''Well, I must unpack, see you upstairs, roomy.'' He said, approaching the stairs and looking at Cel.

What do you mean... roomy?'' Ceallach quickly replied back with a question. The mysterious guy turned around once more and winked at Ceallach. ''We're roommates, mate.''

''Bloody hell.'' Cel then muttered under his breath, sighing as well.

''Hey, I didn't catch your name...?'' I asked him once last time.

''Andrew, Andrew Thompson. Nice to meet you, Bright eyes.'' He said to me, as his voice faded away up the stairs. My brother sighed once more... '' That boy's going to be nothing but trouble...'' He said.

''He may be trouble but he's flipping sexy as hell!'' I shouted out, yet whispered at the same time.

''Hmmm, maybe he is...'' Ceallach replied to me, suddenly I looked at him but he sort of brushed it off...

Bright eyes... Those words made my heart flutter slightly..

---

 After a few hours of unpacking and meeting some of our house mates everything seemed to settle in really well. I called my parents once I was settled in my room and they wished me good luck through my semester at Univeristy which was seriously so reassuring to hear.

I was told that I also had a roommate but she wasn't at the dorm when we arrived, perhaps I would of met her later on in the day...

The first thing you always do when you go to events : Get the freebies. The 'Meet and Greet' over at the administration centre was a pretty well thought idea to get everyone used to University Life but all I literally did was read about my classes, get more and more freebies and got something to eat!

-- Ceallach's Point of View--

The 'Meet & Greet' was going perfectly well until Andrew strolled in. I sighed heavily as he approached me, thinking he was coming to me to brag about his shitty abs or something... But in fact he didn't.

''Fancy a game of pool, Ceallach?'' He asked me. How did he know my name? The only name he knew was my sisters, and he probably forgot it by now...

''Wait, how do you know my name...?'' I asked him, curiously.

''I asked the Dorm Warden, seeing as we're roommates... I wanted to get to know you better.'' He winked at me and picked up the stick. ''So, fancy a game?'' He asked me again.

''Yeah... sure thing...'' I quickly replied to him. He wanted to get to know me better, Interesting... I stared at him for a moment up to the point where he noticed I was so I quickly diverted to the game once again. ''Alright, let's get playing!''

''I win!'' I say later on, hitting the last black ball into one of the left holes. I cheered in triumphant.

''Awh shit, better luck for me next time!'' He said back, slightly hitting me with the stick.

''Yeah, maybe next time...'' I said again, not knowing what to say next. His big, grey eyes continued to focus on me and for some strange reason I began to sweat a little...

''So, tell me about yourself mate, got any ambitions, a house... a girlfriend?'' He asked me.

''Yeah I do, actually, I want to be a Surgeon of some sort. Yes I also have an apartment back in Sunset Valley, my sister and I part rental share it together and nope... I'm not the the best Casanova...'' I replied, rubbing my thick black hair in awkwardness.

''Wait, are you like into men then?'' He asked me. I paused for a second and actually asked the question to myself, am I? I guess not...

''Well - erm - No, no I'm not into men...'' I replied back, sweating even more.

''Oh okay, that's good! Anyway I'm off, chat to you later roomy.'' He said, hurrying down the stairs.

''Later... Roomy...'' I replied, but he already down the stairs by now.

-- Stella's point of view--

''Hello?'' I heard, also feeling the tap of a finger on my back. I turned around and put my coffee down to see a very pale, again-looking girl in front of me.

''Oh hey...'' I said, wondering why she wanted me, but not being rude at the same time.

''I'm Janet, your new roomate!'' She said, smiling away. Before I got a word in myself she pulled me in for a very friendly hug.

''Uhh Hi, I'm Stella, it's nice to meet you!'' I said, trying to speak as she held me tight in her hands.

''I'm hugging you too tight aren't I... I'll just let go!'' She said awkwardly, letting me go.

I caught my breath and began to talk. ''N-No no, it's okay, and it's nice to meet you!'' I said.

''Fancy a game of Star Wars, I'm crap at it but it's really fun!'' She asked me, pointing at the two small gaming systems in the corner of the hall.

''Sure, looks like fun!'' I replied. She grinned at me and we headed to the machines.

About she was crap at it.

Janet freaking beat me by over 10,000 points! After hours of time put into beating her, I just couldn't! We played so many games, rounds and levels and she just continued to win, every single one!

''I win, again!'' She cheered out.

''For the 57th time, Janet.'' I said, sighing and blowing my hair to one side. ''I'm pretty gamed out Jan, let's get back to the dorm!'' I suggested.

''Pretty good idea, since I haven't finished unpacking yet!'' She said to me, hurrying downstairs as I quickly followed.

That same evening I decided to change into something a little less tight and head down to Moonlight Point to do some Sketching; I was going to invite Janet but went I went into our room I found her fast asleep in a pile of clothes, she must of fallen asleep unpacking!

''Hey it's you again, bright eyes.'' A familiar voice said behind me, again. I turned around slightly and looked up to see Andrew almost behind me, grinning as usual.

''Following me are you?'' I asked him.

''Oh I might be... or I might not be...'' He said, winking at me. I gently shoved my Sketch Book in my bag and slowly got up slowly and stood very close to him. I could smell his sexy aftershave light up the air which just made me even more attracted to him.

''Well Mr. Thompson, if you want me I think you just might need to try a little bit harder.'' I said, walking away, quickly turning around to wink at him then carried on.

''You're playing hard to get I see, Bright eyes!'' He shouted back at me, as I continued to walk away. I never said nothing back, instead I gave him a thumbs up and got on my bicycle.

The first day in University passed and it wasn't long before the night came and I crawled into my little Bunk Bed; Janet claimed at Ground Bed across the room.

University seemed it was going to be pretty good... especially with Andrew Thompson being here...

Thanks for reading the the very first chapter of Generation 8! I hope you liked it! Just a little notice, there will be only about five chapter of this Generation in University because it honestly bores me to death and the main plots of this Generation are features after University.

Please comment!,

Thanks, :)

Generation 8 | Characters.

Just a little side note, I decided not to add anything about all the characters life's and personalities (except from Stella and Ceallach) because I'm taking on the challenge to try to incorporate their past events and personalities over the course of this Generarion rather then just telling you about them already... If you know what I mean.

Generation 8 Heiress | Stella Cronwell.

Stella is a very unique, ambitious young woman. She loves nothing more than living life to it's fullest which is most probably why she is so ambitious. As a young child Stella loves to paint, she painted everywhere... and on everything! Becoming the heiress of The Cronwell Legacy is quite a tough job, however Stella was quick and enthusiastic to become it, and has so far fit into the perfect line of mater heirs/heiress. She dreams to one day become a famous painter, hopefully own a Art Museum and have a perfect husband and children who follow in her artsy footsteps just like she did with her father... But the question is.... Will she have that life so soon...?

Generation 8 heiress' older brother | Ceallach Cronwell.

Ever since Ceallach was born, he took so much interest in Science. He was always at the top of his science class where he continued to get A*'s on his Science Project and stay in his room all night long discovering and mixing safe periodic table elements. Like his younger sister, Ceallach dreams big! He would love to become a surgeon and consequently live a perfect life with the woman of his dreams... all he needs to do is find her and maybe stop being so protective over his little Sister!

Main Character | Oswald Saunders.

Main Character | Andrew Thompson.

Main Character | Janet Mainer.

Main Character | Jubilee Anderson (Created by Kuba'ssimstories!)

Extra's | Claire Saunders.

Extra's | Mel Saunders.

They're also two more characters  Kevin and Carl Mason. However they are both minor characters and hardly talk so I figures they aren't as important to be introduced properly into the Generation.

Generation 7, Chapter 28 : The end.

2 Years Later...

Things really changed throughout the past two years. Within the first months, things still didn't get better. Gemma continued to blame herself for Jonah's death and consequently, I had no choice but to get counselling for her. Our counselor suggested a change of scenery, which could possible clear up Gemma's head. After much consideration and multiple whole family meeting, we all decided as Cronwell's to move back to Sunset Valley, where our family all began. 

Once we got there, I instantly saw a change. It seemed the whole city had 'metropilised' in the past one hundred years. I was told that my ancestors once lived in the much outdated version of Sunset Valley and that it had really changed since they died. As soon as we arrived and settled in our new houses properly, everyone seemed to just live life much better everyone was happy and most importantly, Gemma seemed to like it as I change from St. Claire. We even got Jonah's and my grandmother's gravestone moved to this town so we could still go and visit them.

Also, it wasn't long before our three youngest children aged quite quickly and settled into their new school. Rose made lots of friends in Sunset Valley Primary School so quickly and she was praised for her talent in dancing!

Raegan aged into a beautiful young lady, particularly taking interest in Business and is aspiring to become a business woman. Cade on the other hand is quite smart, but just a tiny bit more rebellious and layed back, like she was earlier in life. She's very similar to her oldest sister and myself because she's very arty and is quite the Avant grande!

Ceallach was now pushing on Nineteen and still continued to wait for his sister to graduate with him so they could go to Univerisity together. I noticed as Ceallach slowly shaped into a young adult he seemed to look more and more like me rather than when he was little, he looked like his mum.

Gemma slowly got better once we moved to Sunset Valley. She was still slightly edgy but you could clearly
see improvement from when our son died...

One night Gemma woke up crying and I woke up from that and when I did she stroked my face and said ''thank you, for keeping strong, when I wasn't....''.

Eventually we both decided to try new career paths; I became a police man, of some sort and Gemma took on the role as a Scientist in training.

Then there's Stella. With her being seventeen years old, just about to move to University and become the heiress to The Cronwell Legacy was a lot for her to take in, but it didn't take her long to get used to being the heiress... quicker than I imagined actually....

Stella's point of view...

''Freaking hell!'' I screamed, stubbing my toe really hard on the boxes in my room. Moving to university seemed harder than I actually thought... and painful I see, too.

''That's just my lucky, a freaking mashed toe right before I leave, great, just great.'' It began to throb even more.

''CEAAAALLACH! I need you big bro!'' I called out down the stairs, still holding my toe and loosing my
balance at the same time. '' Oh shit.''

''What Stella!? I'm trying to pack!'' He said, running up the stairs and into my room.

''Get me some ice will you, I've stubbed my toe!'' I said, being slightly dramatic.

''Oh yeah, sure. It's not that they're five other people in this house....'' He replied, sarcastically.

''Nope, not at all! But thank you though!'' I said back to him, grinning at him as he strolled back downstairs, to the kitchen.

''Here's a bag of peas because dad hurt his back and he's using the Ice Pack.'' Ceallach said to me, passing a very cold bag of peas to me.

''Oh dad, such an old geezer these days! But anyway, thank you.'' I placed the bag on my foot and the pain slowly numbed.

''You're welcome, and now if you excuse me I'll be in my room, trying to pack.''

''Wait Ceallach, I need one more favour!'' I asked him.

''Oh for god sake, what now!?'' He said, exhausted.

''Can you help me pack? I-It's just that, There's so much nick nacks to finish, and I have one more project on my laptop to finish and then I need to eat and get my clothes in one suitcase and pack up all my photos and-.'' He cut me off suddenly...

''Oh fine, I'll hep you, but you know you're just like dad, so unorganized... You should be more like mum and I!'' He explained to me. ''You should be more like mum and I!'' I imitated him in a childish tone and he gave me the dirtiest look ever, which made me laugh!

An hour passed and literally nothing still wasn't packed yet! It wasn't long before my dad found us casually sitting on the floor, myself on my laptop and Ceallach on his phone.

''Guys! For god sake you're leaving tomorrow! They'll be no time to pack tomorrow because of your graduation!'' My dad said, rubbing his head in frustration.

''I have one more Art Paper to hand in right before graduation, I need to finish it!'' I said, typing away.

''Okay, and what about you, Ceallach?'' My dad asked him.

''Well Stella asked me to help her but she's too busy on hr laptop so I'm just waiting for her... on my phone.''

''Exscuses I see. All I'm saying guys is that you really need to finish packing!'' My dad said to Ceallach.

I looked back up at him quickly and grinned, don't worry dad, we will!''

''Okay, I'll see you two tomorrow morning, be up early to collect your graduation robes!'' He instructed us.

''We will!'' We both said, in sync.

---

Next morning our house was in complete chaos. Ceallach and I was non stop up and down the stairs, loading our furniture and clothes into the moving van and Mum, dad, Cade, Raegan and Rose were rushing all around the house, getting their best suites and dresses ironed and put on for our graduation.

''Can you believer we're actually graduating!?'' Ceallach said with so much enthusiasm.

''Yeah, we actually are...!'' I said, in shock. To be honest I still couldn't get my head around the fact that I had left secondary school and that I would be on my way to University in a matter of hours...

Graduation was no doubt about it extremely emotional.

Ceallach was first to accept his diploma, as he was in an older year than me. He said his speech then came off stage to accept his scholarship and say goodbye to his classmates. I was sat in front and I looked back at my parents to see their faces full of tears.

Then it was my turn. Saying my speech wasn't hard, accepting my diploma and scholarship was hard but then it came down to saying goodbye to my friends.... Because Ceallach and I were granted scholarships we were accepted into a higher graded University whereas none of my friends did not.

''I can't believe we're graduates!'' I said, throwing my diploma high in the air.

''I know right, we done, we actually graduated!'' Ceallach replied, throwing his diploma in the air soon after I did. Surprisingly we both caught our diploma's at the same time and we both couldn't stop grinning.

''We're both so proud of you two, you know! Our own children, graduating with additional scholarships!'' My mum cheered out, as we took a photo of us four together.

Later that night, Ceallach and I went to the beach together. We sat on the cool sand, eating our hot dogs when suddenly it began to rain....

''Should we go now since it's raining?'' He asked.

''Nah, it's only rain!'' As it was raining I took the liberty to push Ceallach into the water and he fell flat on his bottom.

''For god sake, Stella! You're so lucky that you're my sister otherwise I would get you back!'' He shouted out, drenched from head to toe.

''Aw I'm sorry Celly, I was just playing!'' I said, wrapping my arm around his shoulders.

''Now, don't you think we should be heading off, we still have packing to do?'' I said, sighing.

''Yeah, if we don't do it soon we'll never get it done!'' He replied.

''True...'' I began walking before him but then turned around and grinned at him ''... Last one to the house has to help the other pack!'' I then said, getting a slight head start.

''Damn you, Stella!'' He replied, running after me in his drenched robe.

We both ended up staying up all night long packing for University and in the morning it didn't help that we then had to feel out our Scholarship forms.

An hour later, we were packed, suited up and ready for University. My parents came in and suddenly bursted into tears.

''Aw guys, don't cry! We'll be back in Six Months for the holidays!'' I said, pulling my dad in for a tight and and the same for Ceallach and our mum.

''I-I know but we're so sad to see you go!'' My mum said, sobbing much harder in Ceallach's arms.

''Okay, we have to leave now, but we'll be back in six months! Don't worry mum and dad, We'll be fine!'' We both said our goodbyes to everyone and picked up our main bags.

Ceallach started up the moving truck and we got out one last time to wave to our family again. For some odd reason Ceallach and I couldn't stop laughing, most probably because in our heads we were secretly planning what crazy things we are going to get up to in University.

Robin's point of view...

Stella looked up happy and enthusiastic when she was about to leave for University. She had always been an independent person ever since she was just a toddler so there was no doubt she'd have trouble settling in.

My little girl finally became so independent, so strong and so enthusiastic.

---

Hours passed and I was already missing my two biggest children. I somehow ended up in Ceallach's cold, silent, empty room and turned around to see those letters we put on his wall the day he was born.

I cried slightly and sighed, looking at the final pieces of furniture he left behind.

''They grow up so fast...'' I said to myself.

THE END.

Generation 7 is officially finished! ; ___ ; We've seen Robin go through years of betrayal, the loss of his twin brother for many years, six children, heartaches, a hell of a roller coaster marriage, death, bereavement and the sad loss of his own child. Twenty - eight chapters later Robin has a somewhat good life and he honestly thanks you for sticking around with him through it.

But he needs you and I need you too, to support his daughter through another Generation of The Cronwell Legacy! Again thank you so much for reading and sticking to my legacy for this Generation, and I hope you're able to stick with me for another!

Thanks for reading, please comment,
