Chapter 8 - College

Ginger woke up early, feeling a mix of anticipation and nerves. He headed straight to the bathroom to take a refreshing bath, washing away any remnants of sleep. Afterward, he meticulously prepared for his college day, selecting his outfit with care. He opted for a stylish black jacket with a single vertical line on the left side, paired with a half-zipped jacket over a crisp white t-shirt and black jeans.

Feeling ready for the day ahead, Ginger descended the stairs and joined his parents and brother at the breakfast table. As they ate together, his parents couldn't help but express their concerns.

"Your university is quite far, so please ride safely and take care on the road," Ginger's mother reminded him with a hint of worry in her voice.

His father chimed in, echoing her sentiment. "And make sure you leave early to avoid getting stuck in traffic."

Ginger smiled reassuringly at his parents. "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I'll take good care of myself."

His mother sighed in relief, grateful for Ginger's reassurance.

Once they finished breakfast, Ginger's parents headed off to work while he retreated to his room to study. Determined to catch up on the lessons he had missed, he immersed himself in his books and notes. After a productive study session, Ginger prepared for his classes, making sure he had all his materials in order.

He walked to the garage, where his sleek black sport-type motorcycle with a 200cc engine awaited him. The custom-made tire rim, adorned with a striking black and white pattern, added a touch of uniqueness to his ride.

Ginger started up his motorcycle, feeling a surge of excitement as the engine roared to life. With a quick check of his gear and a final glance at himself in the mirror, he embarked on his journey to the university, which was approximately 15 kilometers away.

Arriving at the university, Ginger parked his motorcycle in the designated lot and began searching for his friend, Sean. After a few minutes of fruitless searching, Ginger decided to give Sean a call to inquire about his whereabouts.

"I'm at the university right now. Where are you?" Ginger asked, his voice filled with curiosity.

"I'm sorry, I'm currently at a mini-market. Can you wait a bit?" Sean replied apologetically.

"No problem. Where are you? Let me pick you up," Ginger offered.

"That would be great. I'm at the usual spot near the T-junction," Sean responded.

"Okay, I'll be there right away," Ginger confirmed before ending the call.

Ginger quickly made his way to his motorcycle and rode to the mini-market to meet Sean. Spotting his friend, he parked his bike and joined him on a bench in front of the store. Sean kindly offered Ginger a drink, which he gratefully accepted.

As they sat, sipping their beverages, Ginger and Sean reviewed the lessons Ginger had studied at home. They exchanged insights and clarified any doubts, ensuring Ginger felt prepared for the upcoming classes. Once they finished their drinks, they hopped back on Ginger's motorcycle and rode together to the university, continuing their review along the way.

Upon reaching the campus, they made their way to the cafeteria, where they could review a bit more before class. The time flew by quickly, and soon it was time to head to the auditorium for their scheduled lecture. Although the class was set to start in 15 minutes, the auditorium was already buzzing with students.
