[ON HOLD] College Life

Chapter 11

I'm so annoyed that I had all that hard work and then my computer decided, "NOPE! SCREW YOU, YOU DON'T NEED THIS" and deleted all of this the first time. Literally, I was getting ready to post it in like one minute before it deleted itself. So, I went to bed and fixed it in the morning / now :D

~Rainbow Steve's POV~

I pack for the break, with the help of Blue Steve. It's the day before the break, and Blue Steve has been completely packed for about a week. He's extremely excited for the trip itself. "How are you not packed yet?!" Blue Steve says and laughs, and then I chuckle. "Because I'm not the crazy one who decided to pack a week before the break even started!"

We both laugh, and soon both Sabre and Shark walk into the room, quietly talking to one another. "Oh hey! You're back!" Blue Steve excitedly explains, being the social butterfly he is and I simply smile and nod, being the awkward one that enjoys the silence. Since me and Sabre talked, I have been talking to them both a little more; but I still don't trust them completely. I mean, I don't have a reason to, unlike Blue Steve who just has a habit of talking to everyone.

"Miss us? Have anything important to tell us?" Sabre asks Blue Steve, seeing how excited he is. "Well, he was wondering, what do you and Shark plan on doing for the break?" I ask, because Blue Steve is too chicken to do it. "Nothing, we're staying here," Shark answers simply, not giving Sabre the chance to respond. Instead, Sabre just nods.

"So, while we were gone, did anything interesting happen?" Sabre asks and then Shark smirks. "Any BlueBow action happen?" Shark teasingly asks, making us both blush a bright, rosy color. "N-No!" I mean, nothing interesting happened, and there wasn't anything to do with 'BlueBow', but still; being embarrassed isn't fun.

Shark and Sabre teasingly nod, and then walk off to do their own thing. Both me and Blue Steve continue to pack my bag, getting all my items I need into my small suitcase. For about five to ten minutes we stuff some clothes that would be good for this week into my bag, and then after that I feel his arms wrap around my torso, hugging me.

"Rainbow Steve, are we going to see each other during this break?" he asks me softly, and I hum in response. "Of course, remember; we are always going to talk to one another to make sure the other is alright and everything I like that!" I say, getting sucked into the memory once again.

Both Blue Steve and I drop our bags on the hard ground, and we dart into the woods, racing one another to the other end of the forest. The middle schooler versions of us run between the trees, gracefully turning to get between the small gaps the trees leave us.

We both giggle as we continue to race one another, trying to get to the other end of the woods before the other one does. About halfway through, I trip on a twig on the ground, and end up falling. Instead of him keeping going though, he turns around and then helps me up.

He helps me get up, and then we both walk through the woods, him helping me as I limp on my right leg. I look down, seeing a nasty gash right on my knee. I wince when I see it, my ankle also feeling weak. When we get through the woods, Blue Steve takes me to his parents house, where he gets the gash cleaned up and bandaged, and then he also lets me borrow something to wrap around my ankle.

I smile at him gratefully, and then speak up. "How would you feel about making sure to talk to each other every day, to make sure one another is alright; for the rest of our live?" I ask and he excitedly nods. We shake our hands on it, and then he runs back through the woods to grab both of our bags, leaving me sitting down on the dining room chair in the kitchen of his house. After about five minutes, maybe ten, he comes back; carrying my colorful bag, as well as his light blue one.

That night I walked home, smiling, and then in the morning I went to the doctor, seeing that I sprained my ankle.

"...Oing to go so many places-- Are you listening to me?" Rainbow Steve asks and I slowly shake my head no. "Sorry Blue Steve, I was kinda lost in thought..." I say and sincerely smile at him. He giggles softly, "That's fine. Now, as I was saying, I'm going to be going to so many places during this break!"

I chuckle softly from his enthusiasm, and continue to stuff things I will need into my bag. After I get everything else in it, I put my sketchbook on the top with a few pencils and cap erasers on top of all my stuff. I zip the bag closed, and turn around to see both Sabre and Shark relaxing on the couch, watching TV.

Sabre then gets up and goes to the kitchen, and then he grabs some microwave popcorn. He pours the popcorn into a big bowl after it's finished popping, and then he sits down on the couch again. Shark eats most of the popcorn, but Sabre also eats some here and there.

I give up for the night, and then sack out on my bed; not eating dinner or brushing my teeth, or anything else. The soft hum of the TV and the quiet chatter between my dorm-mates are the only sound that fills my ears at the moment; as I slowly drift off into a sleep.

***

I wake up in the morning from my alarm blasting in my ears. I groan and get up, turning my alarm off. After a few minutes of my eyes adjusting to being awake, I go to take a shower. I had a slight headache the night before, but all the tension in my body eases up from the warm water hitting against my bare body; making the headache melt away. I get out and get dressed into some jeans, as well as a light gray tee shirt. Of course, I slide my rainbow hoodie on above it though.

When I walk out of the bathroom I see everyone else is asleep, other than Sabre, who is reading a book. I go to my phone to see a new text message from my dad, saying, 'Come down to the parking lot, I'm tired of waiting. I sigh and grab my bag, as well as my phone charger and my phone.

After writing a small letter for Blue Steve that I give to Sabre, I walk out of the room and down the hallway; and go to the parking lot. I find my dad's car, and then get in with my bags.
