"So decided yet?" Trevor asked, sipping the remains of his drink from his Starbucks cup.

Vald sighed. "No. I don't really have anything I want to do. Everyone is always asking me, but I never have an answer."

Oliver fiddled with a straw wrapper and looked at his fingers as he said, "I said you should just go to where they're offering the best scholarships."

Vald shrugged. "You guys know money isn't an issue for me."

Trevor snorted and said, "Yes, but more scholarship offers means they want you. At least I think it means that."

Oliver shrugged. "It's the best way to decide I think," he muttered.

"You can always go to Ultimate like us," Trevor said beaming at his best friend.

"You're going too Oliver?" Vald asked. He figured with the boy's insane intelligence his parents would be sending him to Harvard or Cambridge or some high-end university like that.

Oliver shrugged and glanced away.

"His parents only agreed if he promised to take the maximum amount of classes every semester," Trevor answered, "including the upcoming summer semester."

Vald laughed. "Well they just want the best for you."

Oliver brightened and looked the older boy in the eyes. "You definitely should come too! Community colleges are best to take a slow start into college life, and this way you can take a bunch of different classes to find your interest! You could even start over the summer with me!"

Trevor's lip curled up in a half-smile, but Vald considered it. It did seem like the best idea. As always, Oliver's arguments seemed the most thought-out and smartest course to take. It did seem easier to just try out a bunch of different classes, and then he could get serious faster.

"Sure," Vald agreed, shocking both of his friends. "But shouldn't I have signed up a long time ago? Most people are probably already assigned to classes and preparing for class."

Trevor sighed as Oliver got excited. "Nope! This college's summer semester is condensed to allow for longer fall and spring semesters. They're still in class for another week and then the summer semester starts a week after that, so you should be able to slip into scheduling without being flat out rejected!"

Vald smiled as he saw his friend get even more excited.

"We should get you signed up as soon as possible!" the short boy said eagerly. "It shouldn't take long to get there, and then we could talk to the administration and show you around and—"

"Slow down Olly," Trevor interrupted, shocking them both with a nickname Oliver loathed. "Your parents were expecting you in an hour, weren't they? You don't have time to have us drive you there and back."

Oliver seemed to deflate and said, "Fine, but you should still sign him up Trevor. We should show him around tomorrow then."

Trevor smiled and agreed.
