Chapter 2: Knowing the campus
Van and Fiona are done packing in to their new home for the next 4 years and are now taking a tour of the campus to get a better feel of where they may and will end up, eventually.
Van and Fiona are now walking around the dorm area, chatting among themselves.
"This place is so much bigger then what I imagined." Fiona says looking around.
"I know. The last time I was here, it didn't seem that big." Van says noticing the students are sitting in the grass, reading. "That's another thing that is odd, we get to sit where we want."
"Well Van this isn't high school after all, which leads me to another question. How does it feel being out?" Fiona asks looking up at van.
"Pretty good actually. I felt like it was never going to end." Van says stretching. "I felt like I was in jail."
"Same here, but hey you know what, with us being out and all, we can finally make our own decisions and stop being told what to do." Fiona adds in.
"Yep that's true too. Being an adult never felt so good." Van speaks gleefully. "The only part I hope to avoid is bills."
"That's what my mom says all the time." Fiona says smiling. Her stomach then growls.
"Oohh sounds like someone is hungry." Van says noticing the sound.
"Yeah, it seems I am." Fiona says looking down.
"So what are you in the mood for?" Van asks turning to her.
"MMM something with cheese on it." Fiona speaks up.
"Cheese huh? Well I have a lot of ideas that we can use that involves cheese." Van says grinning. Fiona smiles.
"Really, well let's go find out what we can find. Where is the cafeteria?" Fiona asks looking at Van.
"I'll escort you." Van says taking Fiona by the hand.
University Cafeteria
Sitting at a table near the window, sits a familiar white headed, former history teacher, enjoying a Cappachino.
"So this is where I'll be before and after class huh?" Prozen says putting his cup down and looking around the cafeteria. "Nice place to relax, definitely."
Prozen continues to enjoy the scenery, and not notice van and Fiona enters the cafeteria. He continues drinking his Cappachino, and the sound of Fiona's voice catches his attention. Prozen quickly turns to the direction of where her voice came from. He gets a better look and can see Van is with her.
"Oh great just what I needed. "Prozen says turning around quickly to avoid being seen by them.
Across the room
Fiona and Van are looking at the menus on the wall, trying to find the lunch portion of the menu. Fiona, who has already found what she wants, looks around the room and while looking, someone familiar to her, catches her attention.
"Hey Van, isn't that Prozen?" Fiona speaks catching Van's attention. He turns away from the menus and over to where Fiona is pointing.
"Yeah I think that is. Let's go over and say hi." Van says turning completely away from the menus.
"What if it's not him?" Fiona asks inquiring.
"Hey then we say: if you see a guy named Prozen, tell him to say hi for me." Van says making himself and Fiona laugh.
"Let's go say hi." Fiona says walking away from the menu area.
Prozen is so caught up in not being seen, he doesn't notice Van and Fiona walk up to his table.
"Hey Mr. Prozen." Fiona says catching his attention. Prozen turns around and faces Fiona and the smile of Van.
"Oh hello, Van, Fiona. Fancy meeting you two here." Prozen says turning around completely. "How are you two?"
"We're doing great. I miss being in your history class." Van says smiling.
"I miss teaching you." Prozen says smiling. :::::Why am I lying like this?:::::
"So how did you end up here if you don't mind me asking?" Fiona asks in question.
"Well I was transferred from the high school and now I'll be teaching here, a calculus class at that." Prozen says politely.
"Hey even here, I may end up in your class." Van says smiling at him.
"Hey anything can happen." Prozen says drinking the least of his cappachino.
"Man being out of high school sure is fun. No more bells to tell us when to go to class." Van adds in.
"Yep, that's for sure." Fiona speaks up.
"Well I would love to sit and continue this conversation, but I have to go find where my class is, so hopefully I'll be seeing you two again soon." Prozen says getting up.
"Yep that you will." Fiona says smiling.
"Well see you two around." Prozen says walking away from the table.
"I have a real good feeling we will be seeing more of him." Van says watching Prozen walks down the hall.
"Great just what I need. This is not my idea of getting away from Fligheit and to have him in my class again would defeat my purpose completely." Prozen says walking quickly away from the cafeteria.
Outer skirts of the University
"Thanks so much dad. You don't know how much this means to me." Thomas says thanking his dad. "I don't know what Karl's problem is. I was standing right there and he drove off."
"No problem son. By the way, were you ever accepted at this university?" General Shuboltz asks. (General Shuboltz is a General in the branch of the Army reserves. He is where Karl got his skill and his good looks.)
Hearing that question makes Thomas, stomach drop.
"Uh yeah I was." Thomas weakly says, trying to hold back the feeling of guilt.
"Good, because if you weren't, you could always give your hand at the army." General Shuboltz says, slightly looking over at Thomas.
"No thanks, I think I will try college." Thomas says continue to look out the window.
General Shuboltz continues to drive down the highway, journeying to the next exit.
Girl's Dorm
Moonbay continues to put the remainder of her clothes away, while Irvine lounges on the bed.
"Is this what you plan on doing for the next 4 years you are here?" Moonbay asks putting the rest of her clothes away in the closet.
"Yep, that and watching Tv, eating, watching Tv and more eating." Irvine says sitting up.
"Well there is more to do then just that you know." Moonbay says closing her closet.
"Oh yeah like what?" Irvine asks.
"Well it's called going to class and going to class and getting a degree." Moonbay says going over to the desk and taking a seat.
"Well I'll do that and do what I love at the same time." Irvine says lying back again.
"Well it's more to that then just sitting on your ass all day like you intend on doing." Moonbay says as Irvine sits back up, holding his chest.
"Ouch that hurts you know. That was a blow to my pride." Irvine says playfully. "Well I'm going to get something to eat. You hungry?"
"Yeah you can get me something." Moonbay says now thinking of what she could want.
"What are you the mood for?" Irvine asks watching her think.
"Don't know, You?" Moonbay asks turning to Irvine.
"I'm in the mood for something hot and squishy." Irvine says turning to Moonbay. (Dirty thoughts are not to be processed at this time)
She gives him a look.
Out in the hall
"I was talking about pizza Moon." Irvine yells hearing the lock on the door click.
"In that case, put mushrooms on mine." Moonbay yells to the other side.
"I know something else you are going to want as well." Irvine says walking away from the door and going down the hall.
Room 514
Prozen looks down at a piece of paper in his hands and then back up at the door.
"This must be it." Prozen says opening the door and now seeing the inside of it. "Big class, lecture hall even. I wonder if they have a vending machine that holds liquor."
Campus Parking Lot
Thomas and General Shuboltz have just pulled up in the parking lot of the university.
"Well here we are son." General Shuboltz says turning off the car.
"Well thanks dad and I'll call every weekend." Thomas says undoing his seat belt.
"Wait son before you go, you know that me and your mother are paying for both you and Karl to attend here and I would understand if you flunked out because, hey college isn't for everyone." General Shuboltz says turning to Thomas.
"I'll try hard not to." Thomas says looking at his father with an unsure look.
"Just remember Thomas, if you ever do flunk out of college, I wouldn't be mad at you. There will always be the army and there I can monitor and grade your activity." General Shuboltz says as Thomas's mind wanders off to if he was in the army.
Image Thought
"Give me 50." General Shuboltz yells as Thomas struggles to pick up his weight to get to push up one.
"One...."Thomas chokes out, barely lifting himself off the ground.
"I can't hear you." General Shuboltz yells.
"This is abuse!" Thomas yells still trying to lift his weight.
"No son this is love. Now give me an extra 100 for insubordination." General Shuboltz yells walking around Thomas, while he continues to try and lift his weight.
Thomas drops to the ground and sighs.
"I'm in hell." Thomas whines.
End of Image
Thomas shakes his head and turns back to his father.
"No thanks. I'll work hard here and make sure I stay here." Thomas says jumping out of the car.
"Well remember son, the offer is still on the table." General Shuboltz says not noticing the terrorizing look on Thomas's face.
Thomas quickly grabs his things out of the car and his father drives off.
"God knows I don't want to go in the army." Thomas says feeling in his pockets for his map of the campus. He continues to feel and notices it's not in either place he thought he put it.
"Oh great I left the map in the car with my father and he just drove off." Thomas practically yells freaking out. "Now what am I going to do without that map?"
Thomas grabs his duffel bag and a few suitcases and looks for the nearest pole that has a map on it, of the campus. He spots one across from him and walks over there. Looking on the map he starts to search for his place to rest.
"Ok I'll be in the boys dorm so where would that be?" Thomas asks himself looking on the map still and finally finds his answer.
"Ok the boys dorm is in the imperial hall, next to the Gygolous hall and that's the girls dorm, wait that means Fiona is there." Thomas says happily. "I can finally see my Fiona. I can walk her to class, buy her lunch and even...."
Thomas's world is immediately starts to crumble when he turns around to see a sight he thought he would never see since high school. Van and Fiona, sitting on the bench, talking with their hands intertwined. Thomas's lip begins twitching.
"No, No, NO, NOT HERE. ANY PLACE BUT HERE!" Thomas yells, now catching a crowd around him, creating a scene. Everyone watches as Thomas looses his marbles, but Van and Fiona continue to talk.
A/n: Ok end of chapter 2 after a week or so. Sorry for the intend boringness and it will get better later on, promise. No flames yadda, yadda, you know the rules what would happen if found and if persistent. That line is getting old, really. Happy birthday to two fellow authors, Night Fighter and Cyberdramon.
Will update when I can and please review.
