The next chapter of our lives

I was going to make 2 more chapters of this book, but I was struggling to write the first one, it was just an 'add on' anyway, nothing too important.

No ones POV-
2 months previous:

It was finally time for the two lovers to start the next academic part of their life. Both had planned to go to collage but it became more difficult being in a relationship. They didn't want to make decisions based on what the other was doing or feeling because it could effect their education and future.

Therefore, they decided on not telling the other what they were taking in collage, but mutually agreed to go to the same collage because they could not survive one second in a long distance relationship.

So as hard as it was for the both, they decided to go to a collage in North Carolina due to the weather being perfect, cold in winter and warm in summer. The reviews of the collage were good. Local accommodation was cheap and they got to spend some quality time together, with new friends hopefully.

George's POV-

We were set to finish exams in 2 months time. The funny thing is, the tests aren't the scary thing, they are a small obstacle we must overcome. It's the future and the next stage I worry about the most, what a lot of people forget about.

So my question is, what do I want to do?

We ask ourselves this a lot as a child, 'I want to be an astronaut' or 'I want to be a vet'. But as we grow older we realise how unrealistic our choices are. We usually forget about it when we get to the age of 12, worrying about friends and the occasional test we would have, but when we get to the age of 18 and actually have to decide, that's the scary part.

There is no room for trial and error here, unless you are happy to sit through collage a couple of times before finally finding your dream profession or career.

So really, what do I want to do?

Believe it or not, I'm actually quite smart, I'm top in some of my classes, and close to top in others, but I have never really paid much attention to academics to really know if I want to pursue that for the rest of my life. Cheer has been my life, my soul, my oxygen for years now, everything else became irrelevant regardless of how well I did in class.

I could pursue cheer, but you career doesn't last long, you don't see many 40 or 50 year old cheerleaders, especially male. Yes I could coach teams but once again, when I get older, I obviously wouldn't be as fit and strong as I am now.

I can't just keep saying to myself 'I'll sleep on it' because sooner or later I'm going to run out of nights to sleep on it.

God why is making decisions so hard, there is just never enough time to really figure out what we want to do with our lives. I am 18, this seems like such a big decision to make. Let's be honest, we are all still kids at this age no matter how grown up we may want to be.

I remember begging to be 10 when I was 6, and then 13 when I was 10, 16 when I was 13. When you get to 18, you just want to stop growing because time goes too fast and shit starts to get real.

1 week later:

I finally came to a decision. I decided not to pursue sport as I predicted, I went for computer science and coding instead. I took it all throughout school and even went to a summer camp for it once.

Hopefully I would hear back from the school soon, so I can finally tell Dream what I decided to do, that is of course if I get in. It's difficult to get into this course, especially because you must take maths with it too which sucks, it has never been my strongest subject. But I have had decent grades in both subjects, so I am hoping for the best..

Dreams POV-

Do I know what I want to do in collage?

Of course I do, I have been planning this for years. I feel bad for George though, I really want to help him but we both agreed not to help each other, that would be influencing one another's decisions.

I have already applied and thankfully got accepted, but I haven't told George yet, I don't want him to be mad just in case he doesn't get into the collage we want to go to.

George's POV-
(Sorry there has been a lot of time and POV change in this chapter, hope it still makes sense 😂)

Finally! I have heard back from the collage and I got in! I'm so happy, and I can't wait to tell Dream. Maybe I could call him? No I'll ask him to meet me at the place we had our date in the forest.

🌻💚✨Dreamie✨💚🌻

Hi baby! Wanna meet at the gazebo
in the forest? I have something exciting to tell you!

Of course, meet you there in
20?

Yes! See you then, drive safe!

After a short drive, I made it to the parking lot at the forest, and walked to the gazebo, hoping Dream was there. I smiled when I saw my handsome boyfriend standing under the small shelter with a bunch of beautiful flowers in his hand. I ran up to him and gave him a long hug and a quick kiss, him returning the gesture.

'Hey Georgie. I got these for you, I hope you like them!' Dream smiles handing me the flower bouquet.

'I love them, thank you baby!' I hold his hand, bringing him down to sit on the wooden floor with me.

'So what is the big news?' He asks.

'Well I finally decided what I wanted to do in collage, and I applied and got in!' I beamed.

'I'm so happy for you babe! You deserve it you have always worked so hard in school!'

'So, what about you, have you heard anything yet?' I ask.

'Yes, I heard a while back but wanted to wait for you to know your news first.'

'Oh my god! That's amazing! What did you end up taking?'

'Should we do the cheesy thing and say it together on 3?' Dream giggles.

'I think we should.' I agree also laughing.

'Ok.. ok! 1.. 2.. 3..'

'Computer science'

'Computer science.'

'WAIT WHAT?' We both shout in shock and disbelief. Surely this is a prank or something, we can't have both taken the same course?!

This is going to be one hell of a fun ride.. hopefully.
