**Chapter 1: The Return of the Playa**

As I stepped onto the campus of Ashmont College, I couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu. It had been a few years since I graduated from high school, and now I was back, this time as a freshman. My name is Alejandro, but my friends call me Alex. I'm a player, and I've got a reputation to uphold. My exploits on Total Drama Island had made me a legend in my own right, and I was determined to make my mark on this new campus. I scanned the quad, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling college town. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the coeds were... well, they were looking good. I spotted a group of freshmen huddled around a table, looking like they were trying to figure out who they were going to hook up with first. I smiled to myself, knowing that I was about to become their new best friend. As I made my way through the crowd, I couldn't help but think about my past conquests. There was Heather, the blonde bombshell from TDI, who had been my on-again, off-again girlfriend. We'd had our ups and downs, but I knew she'd always have a soft spot for me. I'd heard she was going to be attending Ashmont College this year, and I couldn't wait to see her. I made my way to my dorm, a sleek high-rise with a view of the campus. I dropped my bags on the floor and took a moment to survey my new surroundings. The room was decent, but I knew I'd be spending most of my time in the common room, charming my fellow students with my smooth moves. Just as I was unpacking, there was a knock at the door. It was my roommate, Jake, a lanky kid with a mop of messy brown hair. He looked like a decent guy, but I knew I'd have to keep an eye on him. I didn't want anyone stealing my thunder. "Hey, man, welcome to Ashmont," Jake said, extending a hand. I shook it, feeling a jolt of electricity as our palms touched. Yeah, this kid was going to be okay. As we chatted, I couldn't help but notice the flyer on the bulletin board. It was an invitation to the college's annual Fall Fest party, and it looked like it was going to be the place to be. I made a mental note to be there, and to make sure I had a few tricks up my sleeve. Just then, my phone buzzed. I pulled it out, and my heart skipped a beat as I saw a text from Heather. "Hey, Alejandro. Long time no talk. Can't wait to see you on campus." I grinned to myself, feeling a rush of excitement. It looked like this college thing was going to be more interesting than I'd thought.
