Another sun rises and another day Ken wakes up, but this time, with a start. He looks around frantically and quickly calms, realizing that he is safe. [color=00a99d]"I forgot... I'm in my dorm... I'm... home..."[/color] He contemplates that notion for a bit until his stomach protests his train of thought. [color=00a99d]"Right, food first. Then I can think about this more..."[/color]

His feet hit the floor and guide him into the kitchen. From there he scans the options that his roommate had already provided. [color=00a99d]"Well, there's not much, but I can make something out of this..."[/color] His hands get right to work, making a seasoned breakfast of eggs in a toasted sandwich with cream cheese acting as the mayo. He savors his food fully and then quickly cleans up after himself before going back into his room and putting on fresh clothes. He looks in the mirror and smiles in gratitude. [color=00a99d]"You've come a long way... But you're not done yet... Keep going..."[/color] He says to himself and then his eyes set upon his clock.

[color=00a99d]"Fucking Hades! I'm late![/color] He scrambles all over his room, gathering his supplies as quickly as he can, and stuffing them into backpack and then rushes out the door. He dashes down and corridors to get to his first class, English 101. He makes it inside the main campus when it all dawns on him, [color=00a99d]"FUCK! MY MAP! I LEFT IT AT HOME!"[/color] Just as frantically when he ran into someone hard, making both fall on their asses hard.
[color=00a99d]"Ah! Fuck! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"[/color]
[color=2e3192]"Oh, it's okay."[/color] A female student smiles and stands up slowly. [color=2e3192]"Trust me, I know that feeling. What class are you looking for?"[/color]
[color=00a99d]"Ah... I don't know the room but I [i]do[/i] know the subject. English 101.[/color]
[color=2e3192]"Second floor, Room 223, right hand side.[/color]
[color=00a99d]"Thank you so much! I'll have to repay you later! Lunch maybe?"[/color] He pauses, did he just ask someone out?! No, he can't have... But he just did... How is this possible?! he braces himself for the oncoming denial.
[color=2e3192]"Sure! I don't have much today!"[/color] Wait... What...? No... He must be hearing this! He must be!
[color=00a99d]"Ah... I'm sorry, but could you please repeat that?"[/color]
[color=2e3192]"I would like to go out. How about we meet after first period in the garden?"[/color] This was it! Ad date! An actual date!
[color=00a99d]"Okay! Great! I'll see you then, then!"[/color] He runs off, his heart racing like it was the engine of a Boeing 747. A fucking date! How could this happen on his first day! This has to be a fluke! It must be! No! Now is not the time for that! Class! Have to get to class!
He rushes in just as the class begins. Thankfully the teacher only lightly riffs on him for being late and allows him to take his seat in class.
