Chapter Text
(Wemmbu’s POV)
It sets with a bright blue sky and calm white clouds, the sun was bright and the weather was pretty fine this morning. Wemmbu followed the path to his major’s building on the Unstable University. his leg moving and swinging in a mix of excitement and disappointment while carrying his bag. Unstable university has always been his dream university. There were other good universities like State University and Hermitcraft university, but those two didn’t really fit his vibe, he chose and will always land on Unstable university.
Well, it’s probably because Unstable has the best basketball club in the world. Wemmbu joined the university just for that club, since he is really passionate about his basketball talent. He’s pretty good at it, he just needs some more training. Sometimes, Wemmbu would just self-proclaim himself as the “best player in basketball” in his old club. He has that big ego, but it’s not like he is not a pro at basketball or anything. (BIG FAT CHUD LIAR)
The only thing that is blocking him is college. The education. He’s the kind of person who hates school. He prefers training basketball or playing the violin than studying. He doesn't want to think homeworks while having a basketball match. He can’t even focus on one thing easily! He never even studied properly in his whole entire life. His priority is just talent.
After a few minutes of walking, he finally arrived at his major, International relations. Wasn’t really one of his choices, but was basically forced. He tried signing up for Chemistry and mathematics, yet he failed miserably. He’s lucky he was born to be a geographic-economic guy. The only thing that was easy enough for him was International relations. He didn’t really have any intentions to study International relations, but what else could he do? He doesn't care about his grades anyways, he only cares about the basketball club.
Right, his first class. His class was on floor 4, he tried using the elevator, but couldn’t, due to technical difficulties. He had to climb upstairs from floor 1 till floor 4. Four floors using the stairs! Can you imagine how tiring it was for him? Plus, the stairs were high, and it definitely took a lot of energy from him. Not only that, his class was the furthest from the building. Haven’t even reached a single hour, and he’s already having a bad start.
After he finally reached his class, he hung on the door handle and opened it. He thought he was late, but luckily for him, the teacher didn’t arrive at class yet. As soon as he found a seat, everyone was looking at him, he felt so dumbfounded, but he didn’t care anyways. He reached for his tablet and placed it on the desk. Ready to let his first class ever begin.
—---------------------------------------------
The class has ended, the teacher told every student his regards before leaving the classroom. Wemmbu grabbed his tablet and put it back inside his backpack. He doesn't really know what to do after this. Actually, he should probably eat some food at the nearby cafeteria. He was getting a little hungry, he hoped their food and desserts would be delicious. He stood up, walked to the doorway to leave the classroom, and followed his next path; the cafeteria.
The first class was boring. He didn’t expect it to be that boring. It was only about global politics and economic weaknesses-bla bla bla. It’s not like he’s just too smart nor he’s too dumb, he just doesn't like his own major. He tried his best to understand the teacher-and write down notes on his tablet. But the teacher was using random English vocabulary that people barely use! and it was impossible to understand a single sentence they were saying. His motivation for college had almost completely drained. He couldn’t believe he had to attend these classes for the next college years.
His goal in this university is just to sign up for a basketball club and become the best player.
And probably a friend.
All thoughts aside, he then arrived at the cafeteria. He walked around the cafeteria to decide what food to buy. They were selling multiple unique foods, such as spaghetti carbonara, tofu beef teriyaki, scrambled eggs, and more. They were also selling one of his favorite deserts, mozzarella sticks. He is definitely devouring all of it. He ended up buying some scrambled eggs and mozzarella sticks and found a table nearby. After he found one, he claimed the table and opened the food packaging.
He decided to try out the scrambled egg first, he then ate one piece of the scrambled egg. And guess what, another bad luck, their scrambled eggs lowkey sucks. They used oil instead of butter! The egg was too oily and it had veggies in it, he’s not that kind of a vegetable person. The only vegetable he likes is broccoli, but this scrambled egg has little onions and is full of carrots-his least favorite vegetable! He swore that the scrambled egg he saw on the seller’s poster had no veggies. That booth was a total scam! He swore not to ever buy their scrambled eggs ever again.
He ended up only eating the mozzarella sticks, he plans to give the scrambled egg to a stray cat or dog. Or just keep it in his dorm's freezer and let it rot. Frick that seller, a total scammer.
While he was eating his mozzarella sticks, he saw someone approaching his table. He doesn't really know if they were actually approaching his table, he just saw them from the corner of his eyes. He just ignored it and continued eating. He’s probably tweaking anyway.
After a few seconds, the person was next to him now.
“Yo hello bro”
“What the- hello bro?” Wemmbu’s brain short-circuited. He tilted his head to see the person next to him. He didn’t even realize they were next to him.
“Uh.. could I sit at the same table as you? All the tables here are already full, I couldn’t find an empty one.”
“Sure, I guess. just don’t sit beside me.” Wemmbu replied, why did he even say that in the first place?
The person proceeded to sit in front of him. It was kind of awkward, since they don’t even know each other. Wait, isn’t he the same guy who sat beside him in class?
He inspected the person in front of him. He has 2 wings on his head, and bandages over his face. His hair looks like an eye, which he found.. Quite unique. Wemmbu thinks he’s a seraphim, he guesses. He looks so much like an angel. He didn’t believe he was studying the same major as him.
“So uh, you new here?” Wemmbu cuts the silence
“Yeah, I'm a new freshman here. Today is basically my first day here, so I'm mostly confused.”
“Oh same bro! I’m also new here.” Wemmbu chuckled, trying to brighten up the mood.
“My name’s Eggchan by the way, you can call me egg. And you?”
“I’m Wemmbu. Nice to meet you. Pretty sure we are on the same path of our journey through college. You're the guy beside me in class right?”
“Pretty sure yeah. I lowkey wanted to talk to you, but like, it was getting awkward.”
“First day’s are always nervous dude,” Wemmbu chuckles, so did Eggchan.
They chit-chattered throughout the day. They decided to become friends, Wemmbu’s first friend. And so is Eggchan’s.
Wemmbu and Eggchan walked through the park, leading to Wemmbu’s dorm. Eggchan’s dorm was not that far from his, just in a different building. While they were walking through the path, they were having non-stop chattering. Eggchan’s humor matched his vibe. It’s crazy how he is his first friend. Plus. They were in the same major and same class. He felt relieved to have a friend who is in the same class as him. He never knew he would even make a friend on the first day. Well, time passed and he ended up getting his first friend in this college.
Still, he really hoped this year wouldn’t be that bad, no depressive episodes or anything. All he just needs to accomplish is being the best basketball player in the university. Of course he never forgets about the basketball club. He already planned that tomorrow is his day to sign up for the basketball club.
He realized he has so much to do this year, he couldn’t even imagine how many things he could do in a day. He thought his first day in college would be one of the worst days of his life.
Maybe today wasn’t that bad.
