Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were exiting a massive crowd and waiting for their luggage in the airport, their seats sore fork the ride.
"That's the last time I choose the cheapest flight option, more money isn't worth the risk of lopsided cheeks." Ronnie Anne said
"Yah, the best thing they had was the overpriced soda, and each one had a bootleg sounding name." Lincoln added
"At least it's over, oh there's our stuff." Ronnie Anne said pointing to a set of blue and purple suitcases.
"Come on, the handy driver is gonna be outside any minute." Lincoln said as he grabbed a backpack and 4 suitcases
The two waited outside until a man in a clear white car arrived with a gps where his radio was.
"Where to?" The driver said
"Pascal pupils." The two said
"Got it." The driver said as he punched in the directions and was off
The two finally arrived at the campus they would call their home an hour left. Lincoln paid the man and the two went up to their campus administration to get their room key.
"Names?" The woman said
"Lincoln loud and Ronalda Santiago." Lincoln said gesturing to both of them
"Alright, your room is on the third floor, room 12b down the hall." The woman said as she handed them both a room key
"Remember, if you lose your key you have to pay for a replacement and a room change is the concern of campus life officials, and please enjoy your stay." The woman said before taking out some taffy
The two walked to the elevator and up to their dorm. Since they still had a week, the place was fairly empty and most of the on campus students were either out or still arriving. It was 6:00 am for them still. The two arrived and took a look at their dorm room. It was about the size of 2 bedrooms at Lincoln's old home. It had 3 beds, 1 bathroom with a shower chamber/tub hybrid, a closed window that peered early morning sunlight into the room, some torn of bits of poster and tape from the last person who lived here, a computer less desktop, a small closet, and about 4 plug outlets in total.
"It's a little cramped." Lincoln said
"Nothing your not used to." Ronnie Anne joked
"Yah that's true, and at least it's ours." Lincoln said
"All ours." Ronnie Anne said s she leaned in and kissed him
The two set down their luggage on two of the beds and unpacked their stuff. Lincoln got the desktop since he was using his laptop for online comics, Ronnie Anne got the bed closer to the bathroom, they both had to share the closet together with each getting half, Ronnie Anne set up her mini fridge next to her bed, and both set up their respective posters.
"Remember, this isn't permanent, and we only have enough scholarship money to pay for 2 years." Lincoln said
"Way ahead of you linky, I looked up for job positions on and near campus and I applied for a position as chef in the cafeteria." Ronnie Anne explained
"Really, guess my forward thinking is rubbing off on you." Lincoln said
"That's not the only thing you've rubbed off on me." Ronnie Anne joked a she gave him a light spank that made him blush
"Ahah Yah, So what other positions do they have here?" Lincoln asked
"Well, they've got custodian, cargo handler for the snack and drink machines, electrician, librarian, cashier at the student store, and lawn care for the garden they use for advertising." Ronnie Anne explained
"I'll try out for all of them, but I think the cargo handler would be alright." Lincoln said
"Right, because your definitely the guy I know for his muscles." Ronnie Anne joked while showing off Lincoln's slim arm
"Hey, I'm stronger than I look." Lincoln said
"Anyway, I'll get you an application for cargo handling and we can take a look around the city." Ronnie Anne said
"Sweet, I can fill it out on the way to the cable car." Lincoln said as he pulled up the email with the application Ronnie Anne sent her
Lincoln filled out the online form while the two walked to the cable car stop. The two spent the next 6-9 hours looking around the city. They checked out the most major landmarks, Best/ cheapest stores, movie theaters, local parks, the giant mall(3 floors and a movie theater), and an assortment of cheap homes that weren't sucky. It was the late afternoon when they stopped at a burpin burger for dinner.
"Pretty Sweet town." Lincoln said as a bite out of his jumbo belch burger
"Yah, it's got a lot of stuff to do with the Free time we'll have." Ronnie Anne said as she nibbles on some fries
"You think there's a house worth living in when we have enough money?" Lincoln asked
"Not really, it's either too expensive or looks too unstable, how much do we have for the house cost anyway?" Ronnie asked
"Not much, but since it'll just be us I think 130,000-180,000 dollars might work." Lincoln said
"Yah, but that's a lot of money for two college students." Ronnie Anne pointed off
"We could apply for more scholarships along with saving up our job money." Lincoln suggested
"Yah but that's still a lot." Ronnie Anne said as she sipped her orange soda
"True, but we'll figure it out somehow." Lincoln said
"Too bad Lisa isn't here for the math and finances , oh well." Ronnie Anne said
The two finished up before getting back on the cable car and headed back to campus. It was already nighttime and they just got back to their "home". When they got back, they saw that there were a few more faculty members there and the windows were all closed. They got back to their pitch black dorm room and both immediately got phone calls. They were faculty members calling them both for interviews for the jobs they applied for.
"I'll be back later." Both said before quickly kissing and heading off for their interviews
Lincoln walked to the far left side of the college campus and found himself with the representative of the college snack administrator.
"Hello mr loud, I'm Mr. saveno." Mr. saveno said as he shook Lincoln's hand.
"Hello, I'm here to apply for cargo handling." Lincoln said
"I see, well lucky for you were are hiring and I just need to answer a few questions and do some physical tests." Mr. saveno said
"Alright the ." Lincoln said
The next 3 hours were spent answering questions, opening and closing vending machines properly, and physical test and proper lifting technique to prevent injuries and breaking the equipment. Lincoln felt exhausted and a little sore before they finally finished.
"Very well done mr loud, you start on Monday at 11.50 an hour for 20 hours total every week." Mr. saveno said
"Thank you, I'll work my hardest." Lincoln said as he tried to ease the sore pain in his shoulders
It was past 10:30 when he finally got back to his dorm and unfortunately Ronnie Anne was already asleep. He was to sore to bother her so he kissed her on the cheek and climbed into his own bed and immediately went to sleep.
