Chapter Text
As Spoke set foot on campus, his mind filled with fantasies that included making important connections and having some fun while at it. The university lights were coming on as the sun went down. Spoke chose the night shift because he wanted to sleep and wake up late. He walked around the halls, seeing all types of people, diverse hybrids like himself, walking around, looking for instructions.
He was handed a list. In it, based on his major, he had a section assigned that indicated which classroom he had to go to for instructions. It seemed like multiple sections were in the same classroom he had to go to. Did this mean he would be sharing classes with other majors?
He saved the list on his bag and walked to the classroom, inside, a bunch of people were sitting down and politely introducing each other, Spoke sits down at the back of the class, he wanted to keep the cool and mysterious aura (He thought he had) as he unpacks his laptop incase he had to write something down or to play some games, while he waited someone sits next to him.
A guy, by the looks of it, some sort of nether hybrid since he had red horns coming up his head, matching the color of the oversized hoodie he wore and oversized hoodie with some black pants, the guy crashes his face against the desk and whines while breathing heavily.
“Are you fucking kidding me? I ran all the way down cause I thought I was late, and you are telling me this shit hasn't even started?! ” The guy says, clearly out of breath. There were some serious stairs to get to that classroom so of course if this kid ran he would be tired.
“Oh, man, do you want water or something? I'm Spoke by the way” Spoke said, offering his water bottle with a smile.
“Wow thanks! My name is Mapicc ” He says taking a sip, then looks down at Spoke with a weird look. “Bro what the fuck did I just drink? It wasn't disgusting but what Mappic just had was definitely not water.
“Oh shit I forgot, that isn't my water, I don't even drink water. That's pistachio-flavored coffee, damn sorry” Spoke says, smiling and humming to himself, Mapicc doesn't even answer.
A teacher walked in, instructions were given, that's for sure, but Spoke didn't hear any of it. He was distracted playing Battleship against Mappic on his computer “I swear you are using reverse psychology or like TikTok dark manipulation on me bro” Mapicc angrily whispered.
They were dismissed and everyone started picking up their things, Spoke felt like this was his chance to establish his first college relationship.
“Yo bro, give me your phone number so we can hang out or study, anything really, you seem like a fine guy ” Spoke said, smiling, handing his phone to Mapicc.
“Sure bro, I don't know about studying though, what major are you on?” Mapicc asked while typing his number on Spoke's phone “I'm at chemical engineering by the way, super hard entrance test but I got top 10”
“Wait! No way! Same! I actually got top 5 on the test, but that shit was diabolical!” Spoke said, laughing lowkey being hit with flashbacks on the test, grabbing his phone back “Well I gotta check something out but I'll text you later! ”
Spoke waved goodbye to Mapicc and left. He just remembered that after the orientation class, he had agreed to meet up with one of his childhood friends, and that the friend should be at the food court waiting for him right now.
Direct message
Parrot, Spoke
Spoke: yoooooo u here right???
Parrot: yeah bro im like on the back ill wave at u so u see me
Spoke: as the giant fucking wings aren't a giveaway
Parrot: fuckoff
Spoke spotted Parrot, which was incredibly easy, since this guy was a bird hybrid, with green hair and big wings, specifically a parrot, which made it a little on the nose that the guy was named Parrot.
He sat in front of him, Parrot looked pissed off but it couldn't be at Spoke since he just sat down.
“Bro, what's up with that face?” Spoke asked poking Parrot to annoy him more.
“Don't do that” Parrot snapped, hitting Spoke's hand “Sorry I just…this kid named Wemmbu went into my classroom, sat next to me, tried to see if I was ticklish, and then stole a pen from me ” he sighed “Anyways, I got the dorm assignments for the night shift right here, courtesy from a friend I made that got them this morning”
“Yay! Thanks I know we will get them next period but I couldn't wait! I was sure you would somehow get them early! ” Spoke smiled, grabbing the file. “Anyways, Wemmbu? Dude, he sounds so cool I feel like I gotta up my game ” Parrot groaned after hearing that and stood up “Wait leaving already Parrot? ” Spoke asked.
“Yeah I promised my new friend that I would accompany him to the library to get IDS ” Parrot said while grabbing his stuff.
“Wow bye you are such a nerd get out ” Spoke said sticking his tongue out, but then waving Parrot goodbye.
Spoke opened up the file, and started searching for his name….Spoke…Spoke…Spoke…There he was! Spoke room 318, and he was with Mapicc! The cool guy he just met, that was fine! Speaking of Mapicc he should text him to tell him the news.
