(Edited chapter)

"Tim! Wake up; you're going to be late!" My eyes opened slowly from the knocking of the door, hearing my mom calling for me. I had gotten a morning headache from waking up. Maybe I should really start getting some proper sleep and stop playing video games till 3am.

"Are you even awake? Tim, you're going to be late for school!" I let a groan escape from my lips and I slowly started to get up from my comfy bed.

"I'm up and for the last time mom; it's a college not a school!" I shouted back to my mom responding to her.

"Just get dress, Tim. We'll be leave in 20 minutes" I heard my mother's footsteps, knowing she headed downstairs. Letting me know my mom headed to the kitchen. Mom always reminded me of how my brother's relationship with me was. It was the best times of my childhood. 

I headed to my closet and opened it, seeing the clothes I had picked up last night. I still couldn't understand why my brother asked me to pick this set of clothes, but I'm not going to ask. The feeling of being reunited with my brother was strange; I still couldn't believe that we'll be together. God I've missed him so much, I wondered how he's done over the past five years.

I started to change from my pajamas to my other set of clothes. I put on a white sleeves shirt with a checkered red and black flannel, a pair of dark blue jeans and some red Converse. I headed to the bathroom, brushing my teeth and fixing up my hair. After I finished, I went downstairs and was greeted with my luggage on the living room and the kitchen, where mom had finished making breakfast. Mom saw me and she gave one of her sweetest smiles at me, I'm going to miss her smiles a lot. 

"Look at you, Tim. You look just like your bother, when he left for college" Mom said with her sweet smile, she really remembers the day my brother left for college.

"Thanks mom, this is just the clothes that he chose for me. I still don't know why, but I have a feeling that he just wants his flannel back. You know how he is" I sat got beside mom and stole a piece of bacon from the plate she had place for them.

"Someone's hungry" Mom said and she let out a small chuckle from her lips.

I gave a nod and she handed me the plate with eggs and bacon, I sat down on the dining table and started to eat. I finished quickly, while mom cleaned some dishes and took out a green out from the fridge. I cleaned my plate and grab the apple mom got from the fridge. As I took my backpack and my luggage, I saw mom with her eyes slightly watery. 

"Your father would be very proud of you two. You've two grown up fast" Mom said small tears leaving her eyes. She still held her sweet smile, while she wiped of her tears away.

"Mom please don't cry, I'll cry to. Dad would be even proud of you for being strong for the both of us" I gave mom a big hug and she hugged back. I let go and she kept her smile.

"Come on, I'll drop you off" Mom told me and she opened the door for me.

I went out and the sun kissed my skin with its ray of lights. The smell of a fresh busy day hit me and the sound of people walking by filled my ears. A new day in the streets of L.A; I got to the driveway and placed my thing on the trunk of the car, mom got in the driver's seat, as I closed the trunk. I opened the car's door and went into the passenger's seat. Mom started the car and we were off.

With four minutes to spear, we made it to the place. I looked through the window the college and my eyes were wide for how big the place was. 

The place was enormous compared to the pictures I've seen about. There were five buildings, two on each side and one in the far back. The two buildings on the left side had a sign saying: "Dorms". The two on the right had different signs, the one close to the entrance said: "Classes". The building beside it had a sign saying: "Gym". The building on the far back had a big sign on top of it saying: "YTB Offices". Each building's walls had been painted in white with the roofs painted in red.

"Whoa..." Those were the only words that escaped my mouth. 

 "It really still stands out, these guys don't fail to impress people" Mom said with a happy tone.

"Yeah and I can't believe I'm staying here" I said to her and I let out a big breath from my mouth. This is it, here's where my future starts.

I turned to face my mother and she gave me a nod, I gave her one last hug and she gave me a kiss on my head. I let go and said goodbye, I got out of the car and opened the trunk. I took my luggage and backpack and closed back the trunk. I looked at the entrance and before I went inside, I looked behind me and gave at my mom. She gave me her last sweet smile and she wave me back. I turned around and entered. 

The outside was filled with students, each different from across the world. I never thought that this place got massive in such a few years. I wonder how the owners could keep up with so many students. As I kept walking to the central offices, I saw a few familiar faces from years ago; each one I passed gave me a smile and a hello, I usually gave a nod and said hello. It was nice seeing some of those people grow up fast.

I entered the far building and checked around. I found the main office and went inside; I was greeted with a couple of other students and a machine in the back. I looked at the machine and headed towards it, seeing it have a sign reading: "Check-in". I touch the screen and had the menu placed. From what I could remember from last time, I touch the following buttons and came across the list of new students.

I looked for my name and found it, I clicked on it and on the bottom of the machine, and a piece of paper came out, as if something had been printed. I took the paper and looked what it had printed out. I saw my dorm number, the list of classes and teachers, and a message from the Council. I had to check each class for a whole month, before my official schedule of classes.

I exited the office and looked back at the paper in my hand. I saw the list of classes and read all of them, seeing some familiar names and classes that my brother used to talk about in our Skype calls. A smile escapes my lips when I saw the name of my brother on the list just after the Council's message. 

'Welcome to YTB, where we help our fellow students with their unique powers. We are glad that you've decided to enter our college; we hope you enjoy your stay and your training. For our new students, you will have one month of evaluation on every class; at the end of the month, you'll be assigned to your chosen classes, to begin your training.
