Chapter 2: The Art University of Lavara

Mateo told Luar, "It is late. I must go to sleep."

Luar said, "Sure. But why?"

Mateo said, "Because I have a contest at the Art University of Lavara."

Luar said, "You are in university?"

Mateo said, "I have to give a test."

Luar said, "Oh ok."

Mateo went to his bed. He did not tell Luar where he could sleep. Luar was still holding the shopping bag. He did not have the energy to put the stuff in the fridge.

Luar made a sound. "Uhhh. What a hassle."

Luar started putting the stuff in the fridge. Then he dropped a soda can on the ground.

Mateo heard the sound. He yelled from his room, "Stop that or I am going to beat you up!"

Luar got nervous. He just sat down on the chair.

Then Mateo got up from his bed and went to the kitchen. He looked at Luar. Mateo drank a cup of water. Then went to the washroom. Then came back out.

Mateo went back to the kitchen. He started shaking Luar from his shoulder.

Mateo said loudly, "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"

Luar got up from the sound. He opened his eyes in shock. He looked at Mateo.

Luar said, "What do you want?"

Mateo said, "Sleep on this futon."

Luar went and slept on it. Mateo went back to his bed, closed his eyes, and slept.

Ten hours later Mateo opened his eyes. He thought to himself, "What time is it?"

Mateo went to the kitchen and looked at the kitchen window. It was very very bright outside.

Mateo's mouth dropped. He said, "What..."

Mateo rushed to the washroom. He changed his clothes fast. Then Luar woke up as well. Luar went to the washroom.

Mateo went to the kitchen sink and drank a cup of water.

Mateo said, "What the hell is this water?"

He spat it out of his mouth. Then opened the fridge and remembered buying Luar's drinks. Mateo opened the Losfer drink. He started drinking it.

Mateo said, "Uhhh. One of the best drinks I have had in a long time."

Forty-five seconds later Luar got out of the washroom. He looked at Mateo drinking his drink.

Luar said, "Not good of you old man."

Luar went to Mateo. He said, "What are you doing?"

Mateo said, "I am drinking your drink because the water in the sink tastes like it was used for cleaning farms."

Luar said, "Uhhh. Are you sure?"

Mateo said, "Yes I am."

Luar said, "I don't trust that."

Mateo said, "Oh yeah? Then drink it yourself."

Luar said, "Alright. If the water tastes fine then you have to buy me another drink."

Mateo said, "Give it a shot."

Luar said, "Alright. I am doing it now."

Mateo said, "Do it."

Luar said, "Alright."

Luar drank a cup of water. He thought to himself, "What is this water? It tastes like ewwwwww. Uhhh."

Then Luar thought to himself, "If I say the water tastes good then this guy won't buy me a drink."

Then Luar thought to himself, "What is his name?"

Luar looked at Mateo. He said, "Sir what is your name?"

Mateo said, "My name is Mateo." Then Mateo asked, "What is your name kid?"

Luar said, "My name is Luar."

Mateo said, "Ok Luar. Why ask now?"

Luar said, "Because Mateo. I was saying that this water tastes fine. I drank it and the taste is normal."

Mateo said, "Whatever. So what? You want me to buy the drink for you or what?"

Then Mateo looked at the clock. It was 10:30 AM.

Mateo said, "I must go to the university. It will only take me one hour."

Luar said, "Wait. Can I maybe come with you?"

Mateo said, "Alright."

Mateo went outside and closed the door. Then he said, "It will be one hour walking. I think I need to rent a Running Mobile."

Luar said, "Ok. If you say so."

Both of them started walking down the small street. Then Mateo said, "The main street is just five minutes from here."

Luar said, "Ok."

Then Luar saw a lot of Running Mobiles. Luar said, "Is a Running Mobile for rich people?"

Mateo said, "Yeah. But not too much."

Then Mateo saw a man sitting and waiting for someone to get inside his Running Mobile.

Mateo said, "Hello sir. I need to go to the Art University of Lavara."

Running Mobile Driver 234 said, "It will be 13.39 JPD."

Mateo said, "That is too much."

Running Mobile Driver 234 said, "Ok. How much do you want to give me?"

Mateo smiled. He said, "Uhhh. I don't know. But can you maybe take the price down a little?"

Running Mobile Driver 234 said, "Ok. 30 JPD."

Mateo said, "Ok."

Luar got inside the Running Mobile. Mateo got inside too. Then they started driving.

Running Mobile Driver 234 asked Mateo, "So what are you doing at that university?"

Mateo said, "I am doing the last challenge for the art program. They might let me in or they might not."

Running Mobile Driver 234 said, "So you are doing it because you don't want to pay the huge bill right?"

Mateo said, "Yeah. That is the problem. I don't have the money. It is too much. If I am not able to make the money then I will just go in and give the art exam. If they like my art they let me in. If they don't then that is it."

Running Mobile Driver 234 said, "Well you have a point."

Then Mateo saw a shop. He told Running Mobile Driver 234, "Can you stop here? I am just getting something to eat."

Running Mobile Driver 234 said, "Ok. I will wait for you."

Mateo said, "Thanks."

Mateo told Luar, "Let's go."

Luar said, "Ok."

Both of them walked into the shop. They got three bags of chips and three Sorry drinks. Mateo took the stuff to the cashier.

The cashier said, "Is that all you need today sir?"

Mateo said, "Yes. This is all I want. Three bags of chips and three Sorry drinks."

The cashier said, "Will that be all today?"

Mateo said, "Yes."

The cashier said, "Do you need a bag?"

Mateo said, "No. I will be fine."

The cashier said, "Ok. That will be 3 JPD. Each drink is 0.50 JPD and each bag of chips is 0.50 JPD."

Mateo said, "I knew that."

The cashier said, "Don't come again."

Mateo turned his face back to the cashier. He said, "What?"

The cashier said, "I mean come by again."

Mateo said, "Ok."

Luar and Mateo left the shop. The Running Mobile Driver 234 was still waiting for them.

Mateo got in the Running Mobile. He gave one Sorry drink to Running Mobile Driver 234. Then gave him one bag of chips.

Running Mobile Driver 234 said, "Uhh. Thanks man."

Mateo said, "You're welcome."

They started driving. Ten minutes later Mateo said, "Do you know when we will get there?"

Running Mobile Driver 234 said, "Five minutes."

Mateo said, "Oh ok."

Mateo opened his drink and looked at it. He said, "They give such weird names to drinks."

Running Mobile Driver 234 said, "You are right about that. This morning I drank a drink and the name was The Furity Five."

Mateo started laughing. Running Mobile Driver 234 started laughing too.

They both said, "Hahahahahaha! That is such a weird name!"

Then Running Mobile Driver 234 stopped the Running Mobile. He said, "We are here."

Mateo and Luar got out. The driver left.

Mateo looked up at the Art University of Lavara. It was very big.
