Chapter 4
Lion-o was now all grown up and starting to look at colleges. "Hey son looking for a good college," Claudius said.
"Yes I got several acceptance letters. Even Omen University in Omen city." Lion-o said.
"That school is far Lion-o at least a ten hour drive or a two hour flight." Claudius said. "But it is a great school," he said.
"I know," Lion-o said.
"What other colleges accepted you?' Claudius asked.
"There is Notra State and that is across the country. There is also Thundera Tech that is like two and half hours away. There is also Lilon U which is across the state." Lion-o said. "I narrowed it down to these four. Notra State, Thundera Tech, and Lilon U." he said.
"Those are all great schools maybe talking to your friends can help you decided." Claudius said.
Lion-o met up with his friends at the coffee shop. "Hey guys," Lion-o said.
"Hey Lion-o have you decide what school to go to?" Pumyra asked.
"Yes we have," Bengali said.
"Where," Lion-o asked.
"Omen U, we are all going there," Liosia said.
"Yes and this will be Cheetara and I's second year there," Tygra said.
"Well now I know where I want to go," Lion-o said.
After hanging out for a couple of hours Lion-o went home and decided to tell his parents his decision. "I'm going to Omen U and so are all of my friends," Lion-o said.
"Good choice of school Lion-O I would hate for you to be a lonely at school," Leonara said.
Soon Lion-o began to pack. His clothes, hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste, bath stuff, sheets, pillows, books, and other stuff. Then he stuffed it all in his car. His parents watched him. His mother looked into the empty bedroom of her son. "Come dear it's time to see him off," Claudius said.
"Okay," Leonara said.
They went out to Lion-o and hugged him and kissed him. "Bye sweetie drive carefully and call us when you get there." Leonara said.
"I will mom, see you dad," Lion-o said.
"Bye son study hard and work hard too." Claudius said.
Lion-o then climbed in the car and drove away. Leonara and Claudius sighed watching their son leave. After driving for hours Lion-o had finally made it to Omen city. Lion-o took up an apartment for two weeks because College wouldn't start until the end of the month and his parents wanted him to leave early to become familiar with the town. The next day Lion-o saw Bengali's Aunt Vali.
"Hello Lion-o," She said.
Lion-o saw there was a new litter of kittens of the creature Bengali's mother invented with her sisters. They were walking around with their eyes open. "They are cute I always wanted one but my parents told to save up and buy one myself and I have enough now," Lion-o said.
"Well since your my nephew's friend you have the pick of the litter." she said. "But you have to wait week for them to be fully weaned." she said.
"Okay," Lion-o said. He picked one it out it was a male.
"I'll hold him for you and then he's all yours." she said.
Lion-o talked to the college who said pets were allowed as long as his pet was house trained and well behaved. Lion-o then got the supplies he needed.
After a week Lion-o picked up his kitten and named him Snarf. He got a collar and name tag and started to train. Snarf was very smart and that made training a snap.
Soon Lion-o was going to the college and got his room. His roommate was Bengali. Bengali saw Snarf was impressed about how smart he was. Classes began and Lion-o and all his friends were in Life and home economics. Where they learn several things to cook, clean, find a job, hire people, and know what it is like to raise a family.
Lion-o had other classes too, he had math, chemistry, English, computer, and history.
Lion-o was a very good student and soon he would have a very big project to do in Life and home economics. He will be in for a ride with this project.
