A.J. Yawned some as he sat up. He looked over at the clock beside his bed and reached up scratching his chin as he stepped out of bed. He looked around his room a bit, a book shelf filled mostly with manuals for different kinds of engines, even a few for jet engines as he pretty much loved anything that went fast. Kicking his feet out of the bed he left his room heading down stairs to his kitchen, making him self a cup of coffee as he looked around. He had moved in a month before, since he was going to school on his fathers G.I. bill he was paid a housing allowance for the cost of living where the school was located, which happened to be a nice chunk. He bought a house, and even managed to get fairly affordable payments. It was a good sized house, 2 stories, 3 bedroom, master bath as well as another bathroom up stairs and down stairs had a smaller bathroom with out a shower. A good sized back yard, with a deck, he thought about getting a dog since he had a good amount of room. It even had a den, most importantly it had a garage. It was a little bit away from the school but nothing to far as he looked around smiling. It also didn't hurt that he managed to get a job at a local garage to help with expenses Suddenly he was back up stairs, pulling on a white tank top and throwing on his black leather coat he was back down stairs as he sat down on his couch slipping on his riding boots as the laces were pre tied and all he had to do was zip up the sides. Soon he was back in his kitchen picking up his coffee and taking a drink as he pulled a half eaten sandwich from yesterday and took a bite. As he was back in his living room turning on the tv to watch the news.
Soon though he was finished with his breakfast and was in his garage, reaching up to his chest he pushed down as his garage opened up. He ran a hand over that Gsx-r 1000, smiling as he slipped his custom helmet off of the handles and slipped it over his head before putting on his gloves and starting her up smiling as he could feel that rumbling engine under him. Twisting the throttle that engine roared to life as he let off the clutch a little rolling out of his garage. He stopped, pressing his chest again as it closed. Sure Teleporting was fun, but nothing beat the sheer joys of true speed. So he pulled out of his drive way and turned out into the road. While in his housing area he kept his speed low, drove like a normal person. But soon he was out and he dropped the clutch hitting the throttle and was off, leaning forward as he leaned swimming through traffic. All staying legal of course.
He was soon pulling up into the parking lot of the university. That loud engine of his crying out as he looked for a place to park. Finally though he simply said screw it. He pulled right up to the front of the parking lot and rolled up the side walk before backing up flipping the switch killing his engine. He pulled his helmet off as he looked around "Higher learning here we come" he said as he cocked the front wheel of his bike and locked it in place. Getting off his bike he knelled down putting his key into the side of it turning and holding it as he reached up and the back seat came off exposing a compartment underneath of it as he put his gloves in that comparment and there were two metal tabes, one on each side, that he could slip the straps of a helmet on. Putting the seat back on he pulled it to make sure it was locked before pulling the key out and putting it in his pocket before unzipping his coat.
He arrived later then most of the new arrivals, seeing as he already had his own place he didn't have to deal with all that room check in nonsense. Just then two girls walked by looking over at him as he smiled, only the left half curling up showing that dimple in his cheek as they smiled back at him before looking back and giggling about something giving him one more glance. "Yep...this should be fun" he said to him self as he started to walk forward to explore the campus a bit. Though he could hear the P.A. system chime in mentioning something about clubs. So he figured that might as well be a good place to start as he headed over to the Gym.
Upon arrival he walked through the busy crowed though he was getting a few looks, mostly due to comments he was making, First up the music booth. He was looking at some stuff as a girl walked up to him from the other side of the counter. She was short and cute in that geeky way.
"You intrested in the music club?" she asked as he looked at her responding "naa I don't play anything."
"well we accept beginners as well." She added
"Do you do Hard rock or metal at all?"
"well not really...we.."she was about to saything but AJ cut her off.
"Yep lame" and with that he turned walking to a different booth.
Next he found him self at the outdoors club, looking at and at some of there stuff their was another girl talking to him "Intreasted in outdoors."
"in a manner"
"And how is that?"
"I like backwoods and mountain roads...not such a fan for the actual back woods or mountains...All I know is once I hear the" he brought his hand up and did the first part of the dualing banjos with a going "Did ding ding" "Yea, it's time to run...but yea remember sequel like a piggy!" He said turning and walking away.
He then moved over to the sports club, this might have something intresting, as the same routine happened again, girl approaches and "Intreasted in Sports?"
"Jesus is this like the stephord wives or something?"
"What?"
"Nothing..do you guys have racing at all?" he asked her doubtfully
"Oh yea, all kinds, we have 100m, rally runs 5ks, triathalons...you look like your in good enough shape to do all those."
AJ had his hopes up at first, but then she started to list things.
"No Racing, not Gym class...racing, you know Motorcycles, nascar, formula one.."
"Oh...ahh no"
and with that he was gone.
He stood back and looked over the crowed at a group of booths, Gamming, board games, computers, and communications.....hell no.
Finally he ended up at the art booth, looking at various pictures and paintings, he acctuly liked art, though it was something he wasn't that good at. He was jsut browsing through as at least this time nobody bothered him and he was about to leave until he saw something that really caught his eye, a picture of a Victory judge and Harely softail. Both custom paint jobs as he looked at it and finally someone bothered him and this time, It was male.
"What do you ride?" he asked as AJ looked up.
"custom GSX-R 1000 extended back wheel and level 3 power commander with custom Straight exhaust." He said
"Oh, nice though I'm more of a crusier guy, that's my Victory Judge, and my dads Harley softail."
"Now those are simply beautiful"
He smiled as he had now just gotten a new appreciation for art. He couldn't draw or paint worth a damn, but he could hold a camera. So he signed up and soon turned around to wander a bit more.
