*Author's notes: this is my first story so criticize away! Show me spelling errors and grammar errors and such. I won't correct them unless they're BIG but I will take closer looks when I'm writing. Thank you for reading!
Edit: Thanks for reading. This is my first fanfic, so don't expect much for the first couple chapters. They're really rushed, but I can't change it too much due to the other chapters. Still, 600+ views? Milestone! Thanks guys.
Ah... Finally. This is the year I get to relax and enjoy. WRONG! From today and on, I'll have to focus harder than I'd ever done in college. If I wish to get a successful job as a CSE and make my dad proud, I'll need to study twice as much and leave visiting to friends a minority. Gotta hit those books, crap! where are they!
"Yo Shayne!"
"Huh?" Well that certainly did suprise me, it was my friend Sean, we've known eachother since kindergarten, we've only become close because an idiot would pick on Sean for being weird... don't get me wrong Sean can have his moments, but hey, thats not cool. When it came to the day when neither of us could take him anymore, I took charge and nailed him in his nose. I couldn't have hit him that hard, since even back in this day, my strength compared to someone my own age would be like comparing the strenght of a missle to a mouse. But regardless he cried and ran away, from then on we've became best friends and always backed eachother up.
"Sup Sean! Not to be rude but, I really got to hit those books. Anyway what brings you here?" Plan of not sounding rude... failed.
"Oh well, my bad bro. Anyway I've decided to visit, we havn't seen eachother in like 7 years! So I decided to look you up, and it brought me here, so hows becoming a computer techy goin' along?"
"About that... I switched and wasted 3 years of my life to become a CSE instead. I just kinda lost insterest in becoming a designer. I thought, if I were to spend about 4 more years of my life to do something I wanted to do for the rest of my life, I'd rather do that than use the rest of my life doing things that bore me..."
"True that. Try stand up! Looks like you've grown in the last couple of years!" Sean sounded kinda nervous, he's always been taller than me since the day we've met.
"Okay..." I stood up, and the damn chair made that squeeking sound. I gotta get that fixed, its driving me insane!
I guess I made that face I get when I'm irritated, I hope Sean doesn't get the wrong idea.
"...HOLY SHIT! You're about four inches taller than me now! What have you been doing!? Sleeping in college? The hell man!" Guess he didn't notice.
"Haha! Maybe its not me who grew, maybe that 5ft 7in decided to go to 5ft 3in!" We both bursted out laughing, and in a minute or so, we figured it's kinda silly on laughing on somthing so dumb. We began catching up on how things went in our lives, we talked about girls too, and of course Sean already had a girlfriend. Wouldn't suprise me a bit that she's supposingly the hottest girl in his class, we didn't get much in detail because I've never once had a girlfriend. He knew how it always makes me uneasy to talk about those things.
Time passed as our conversation goes on and on. It'll only be a few more minutes before 10:00 pm. 10:00.... Oh shit! I have a exam tomorrow at 7:00 in the morning! Oh god!
"So thats when I came up an-"
"Sean! I'd hate to yell at you like this but you really got to go! I got this exam tomorrow at 7:00 and its 10:00 already! Stop by tomorrow maybe." I hope that wasn't too much. He's a really sensitive guy and he gets his feelings hurt fairly easily. Another trait we both share, so saying that so assertivly made me feel bad.
"Alright you hit those books until you sleep! But don't... You may have to stay up the whole night to pass that exam of yours."
"Alright bro, see you tomorrow?"
"Aight, sounds like a plan!"
And with that, he left the room. Now time to study until morning, I'd better not fall asleep or I'd be screwed! Did I forget to mention that I'm running this college off of a scholarship? The deal was, I can't fail a test or I'm out, so sleeping is not going to happen on my watch!
Seans POV
Well I hope I didn't just ruin his chances on becoming a CSE... let alone ruin his scholarship! He would never forgive me if he didn't pass that test and got kicked out! I just don't know what to do... I could always visit again tomorrow to find out if he passed or not, but if he didn't... I guess I should start heading home.
Wheres my car... Sean has a blue maserati quattroporte, he does have a wealthy family for him to get that as his first car. He put his keys in a moment later after he found it and was about to get in until he heard an explosion. He immediately turned around to see half of the college in flames, he could hear screams and cries for mom and pa in the building.
He thought he even heard gunshots. His first thought was to drive away and call the police, but in the edge of his mind he thought about Shayne. He's not very good in handling these situations. At that note, he yanked the keys out of his car and sprinted as fast as he could into the building calling for 911 at the same time. The sky was going red and orange as he got closer, the heat was becoming immense and unbearable.
He stormed into the building and took off to the same way he got to Shayne's dorm. He was hoping he would be fine, but the hallways were already filled with smoke and flames were emerging from the other end of the hall. He's on the fifth floor room 516... ok this is the fourth floor, one more to go. At his very fear, this floor was already covered in flames, he knew that almost nobody would be able to survive from this, but he knew that Shayne could still have a chance because he heard cries for help on this floor. He had to save whoever it may be even if its not Shayne.
The cries are getting closer and the smoke is getting thicker, he could barely see 2 feet in front of him before everything becomes hazey and orange. He got to the room 516, and to his suprise the cries were comming from that room, without a second to spare he kicked the door down to see Shayne clutching his shoulder with a metal pipe coming out the other side. Blood was filling the floor and just then Shayne passed out in a puddle of dark red blood. He got Shayne over his shoulder and rushed out of the dorm when he heard other cries for help.
He wanted to help but his hands were already full, he just didn't know what to do. The help should already be on the way he thought. Its hard not to hear explosions and screaming, they'll arrive shortly. He rushed out of the building with shayne over his shoulders. He ran to his maserati quattroporte and set him on the hood. HIs conscience was bugging him to go back and save as much as he could. He ran into the blazing building, he knew it'll only be a matter of minutes when this building crashes down to kill the rest of the survivors.
He didn't care at this time, he ran back into the building, grabbed as much as 2 people per trip on both of his shoulders and set them all down in a line, next to his car. He managed to grab 16 people before he heard the final scream... and the building collapsed. The so called help arrived 3 minutes later with the ambulance, police, and fire fighters.
