Chapter 4- Problems And Solutions.
#4 of L.I.V.E
Ian was already up and eating breakfast when Larson got up, as he usually was, And had already made Larson a plate.
The door to the room they had slept in creaked open and that caught Ians attention, his ears twitched as he heard foot stpes coming down the hallway. He began to laugh and turn around to find Larson wrapped in a blanket, "I forgot to bring in some clothes ok, And I don't like to wear the same clothes over again." He said looking a little grumpy.
When Ian seen him he burst out laughing, almost falling over.
"Why would you NOT bring in clothes when thats all you packed... pretty much anyway." Larson gave him a slight glare.
"Would you be kind enough to get me a change of clothes?" He said looking away, Ian nodded and continued laughing as he walked out to the truck. Larson walked around the house as he waited for Ian to get back.
Ian soon walked in the house holding a pair of clothes and Larsons Black book, Larson took the clothes and glanced at the book, Ian Held it up and Asked, "Do you mind if I read whats in here, I've been wandering for a while now and..." Larson had a Worried look on his face but reluctantly agreed.
As Larson turned and headed for the bathroom to get changed into his Clothes, Ian took the book, undid the rope that tied it shut and flipped through the pages, glancing at each one. When Larson had come down he had found the book laying open on the couch and Ian standing at the window with his head down.
Larson slowly approached him and cleared his throat, That made Ian turn around slowly, He was still looking down. "I... I didn't know you though of me that way...?" Larson immediately knew what he meant.
"I wanted to tell you, But I couldn't, Your my best friend." Larson said placing a hand on his shoulder. "I don't want you to think of me as some... pervert." Ian gently pushed Larsons hand off of him.
"I won't and don't think of you as a pervert, Just... tell me when your going to use me in a story like that... ok?" Larson nodded, than gave Ian a hug, who for a second hugged him back before breaking away from it.
"Whoa dude not cool." Ian said before laughing.
Larson began to laugh when he noticed the clock behind Ian that read 12:00.
"Crap! We need to register and get or Dorm before 3:00 And the College is about a two and a half hour drive!" Larson shouted as he ran to the door, slipped his shoes on and ran to the truck, Ian followed after him. and the two drove off leaving their little town behind.
On the way to the Grounds, They had to stop numerous times to tie down the boxes and stuff in the back of the truck.
They drove for what seemed like hours when they had finally got to the college, Where they jumped out and dashed to the Administrations office.
As they go there A large Lion was just locking up the building. "Wait!" Ian Shouted and the Larger male looked over to the out of breath young men.
"Can I help you?" The Lion asked, His voice had a very deep tone. "Yes! you can, we need to register for school here, and Need to make it in time to Get a dorm room." Ian explained the importance as best he could as the Leonid listened.
"I guess I can do this, But just this once, ok?" He said as he turned and unlocked the door. "Thank you sir." Larson exclaimed as the door was opened and they followed him in.
"Over this way to my office." As they followed him in, They noticed how much larger his office was compared to most offices you would see. "Ok, I'll just need you two to fill out these papers, and I assume you have your tuition money?" Larson Nodded and Pulled out an envelope, as did Ian.
The Lion took them both and picked up the phone, "I'll call over to the Dean of the Dorms, Let her know your on your way." Ian and Larson had both finished filling the papers out just as the Lion had put the phone down, He then picked up the papers and examined them.
"Seems to be in order, Welcome To the Campus Boys." He reached over to shake their hands, as they both reached out and did so.
"Thanks Mr...?" Ian said with an unsure tone. "Mr.Lockheart."
"Oh, ok, Thank you anyway." Ian said.
"Yes thank you very much Mr.Lockheart." Larson spoke in a very polite manner to the much larger male.
The two ran off and found the Dormitory where they met with the Dean, Got a three person dorm and made their way up the two flights of steps, carrying some stuff for the night.
"Man, What an annoying day... what with all the driving, and running and writing..." Ian let out a sigh and sat on one of the beds in the room.
Larson nodded and started to unpack what he had brought up. and set it on the dresser he claimed. "Well i guess we will just have to get our classes tomorow, at least that is all year round ." Larson laughed and Slumped onto his bed.
"This is finally it huh?... College." Larson spoke quietly and Ian nodded, "Yup, Nothing much else to do But college, Than what?" He questioned.
Ian yawned, " I'm getting tired, I'm turning in for the night." Larson agreed and yawned himself, The two turned over in their beds and fell asleep.
