Classmates Days

Chapter 81: Axel, Eh, I'm There. Almost

               No one mess this up. We are literally almost at the end of the year and I swear to gods, if the Dreamers mess this up, I will just... I actually don't know what I would do. I haven't really decided where I wanted to go just yet. Maybe I should take a year off.

"Is that really what you want to do?" Blackout asked as he laid on my bed.

"I am not sure. College is a big choice to make. I don't even know if I want to go and learn for the next four years" I told him.

I forgot my guardian is this tiny dragon of destruction and darkness. I wonder who thought this was a good idea.

"For now, why don't focus on your homework. There is no use thinking about something without having an idea about it" Blackout stated as he closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap.

"How do you know I have homework?" I asked him annoyed.

"I talked with the rest of the guardians. They each talk about how much homework and finals they have. You should do your homework or else!" he threatened in a low voice.

"Alright! Alright!" I said tiredly as I rummaged through my bag to find my homework and finish it.

I wonder what I should do for my future? This is a question I will be thinking about for a while I have a feeling. I was walking to lunch as Blackout was carrying my bag.

"Still thinking about it?" Blackout asked bluntly.

"Next year will be my senior year. That should be the year where I should know what I should do with my life, yet I just don't have the answer. I am very worried about this" I retorted to him.

"Can't you just go a college you like and figure it out from there?" Blackout asked.

I stopped for a moment. Can I do that? Because if I can do that, that would help me out a lot. I would be able to focus on my studies as well as think about the career I want to have!

"I see you didn't have trouble thinking about that possibility" Blackout said as he entered the cafeteria and placed my bag on the ground, "Summon me if you need anyone to talk sense into you"

He disappeared in a black hole as I just glared at him. How can he just give advice and be rude about it? Whatever. I've got to eat and then focus on my classes for the day. I really don't like Mondays.

"Axel!" Jimmy greeted cheerfully as he ran towards me with a bag of food.

"Hi Jimmy" I greeted tiredly.

Well, let's grind through this week and figure out what I want to do. As I sat with my friends, I mostly listened to everyone's conversation. They were talking about sports and other popular news that I was thinking about my future.

"Hey, are you ok?" Jimmy asked curiously.

"Yeah. I am just thinking" I answered him.

"About?" he egged on.

"My future" I told him.

Jimmy leaned back on his chair. I don't think he'll give me a good response. Jimmy is probably going to make some kind of joke about my situation.

"Just do what you love" he stated as if it was the simplest solution to my problem

I started at him dumbfounded. I don't know if that is the right answer.

"That's the best way to go through your life. Find what you want to do and go for it" Jimmy answered strongly.

Huh, that was strong point he made. I wish I could have that kind of motive. I just can't think like him.
