Chapter 1: Chapter 1 The Scholarship
Henry awoke in his cozy bed, stretching his body and letting out a hearty yawn. Glancing at the clock, he noted that it was 6:30 am. "Time to freshen up," Henry declared.
As the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Adams, Henry, a seventeen-year-old, resided with his family in the vibrant city of New York. Tomorrow marked an important day for Henry as he had been awarded a scholarship to Haron College in Drill City, prompting his departure from home.
Henry's notable contributions in school, coupled with his striking looks and intelligence, earned him popularity among his peers. With his short brown hair, captivating brown eyes, average height and build, and a visage that could captivate any heart, Henry owed his good fortune to the combined traits of his parents.
Financially, Henry's family enjoyed a comfortable status, ensuring that monetary concerns were rarely on his mind.
"Good morning, Mom," Henry greeted his mother warmly.
"Morning, Henry. Did you sleep well?" his mother inquired.
"It was wonderful, Mom," Henry replied, a smile gracing his face.
"Great to hear. Just make sure you're fully prepared since you'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning, no excuses," his mother reminded him.
Chuckling softly, Henry playfully added, "Deep down, I know you'll miss me, Mom."
A tender smile formed on his mother's face as she held Henry's arms, gazing into his eyes. "I love you, my dear son," she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes. They shared a heartfelt hug before joining the rest of the family for breakfast.
"Good morning, Dad," Henry greeted his father as he entered the dining area.
"Wow, Mom, this is my favorite dish," Henry exclaimed, his eyes lighting up at the sight.
"Indeed, Henry. It's also my favorite," his father replied with a smile.
"I know, Dad, but somehow it feels like it was made just for me," Henry remarked, glancing affectionately at his mother. The family shared laughter and savored their meal together.
"Come on, Henry, we should get going. I'm taking you and Meddy to the park," Henry's dad announced, a twinkle in his eyes.
"Oh, the park again," Meddy pouted playfully.
"Yes, my love, but this time it'll be different. I won't be there, so you two can spend the whole day together," her father explained, trying to appease her.
"Daddy, I love it that way," Meddy replied with a bright smile.
After breakfast, Henry's dad drove them to the park. "We've arrived. Enjoy yourselves, and I'll be back soon to pick you both up. Remember, Henry, take care of your sister," he advised.
"Don't worry, Dad, I will," Henry reassured him.
As Meddy ran off to join her friends playing in the park, Henry found a peaceful spot and sat on a wooden chair. While observing the families enjoying their time together, he suddenly heard his name being called.
Turning his head, he saw Swift, his childhood friend, walking towards him. Swift was a beautiful young girl with a warm smile and a graceful presence.
"Hey, Swift," Henry greeted her with genuine delight.
"Hey, Hen, how have you been?" Swift inquired.
"I'm doing great. It's been a few weeks since we left high school, and you look amazing," Henry replied, his voice filled with appreciation. "And I must say, I prefer calling you Swift instead of Sharon. You know I promised to tease anyone who calls me that name, so you're the exception among the sheep," he playfully teased.
The two friends laughed together, reminiscing about their shared memories. They shared a moment, their eyes briefly locked onto each other's lips, before Swift, feeling bashful, looked away.
"Hey, I want to show you a new game. But before that, let's grab some ice cream," Swift suggested, reaching out for Henry's hand and leading him towards an ice cream truck.
"Oh no, my mom is here to pick me up," Swift lamented, her disappointment evident.
Drawing closer to Henry, she embraced him tightly, whispering in his ear, "You're the best, Henry. You've made my day." Henry reciprocated the hug, feeling a sense of warmth and contentment. He watched as Swift walked towards the car, waving goodbye with a smile.
A few minutes later, Henry's dad honked the car horn, signaling their departure from the park. Meddy swiftly ran to join them, and they all embarked on the journey back home.
"Thanks, Dad. I think Henry and I had a lovely day," Meddy expressed her gratitude.
"It's always a joy to see both of you spending time together," his dad remarked, beaming with happiness.
"Guess what, Dad? Henry spent the day with Swift alone!" Meddy excitedly exclaimed.
"Wow! My son is growing up, and love seems to be in the air," his dad chuckled, sharing in their laughter as they drove home smoothly.
Upon returning, Henry and Meddy greeted their mother with warmth and affection.
"Good evening, Mom," they both said in unison.
"Welcome back. How was your day? I hope you enjoyed the park," Henry's mom asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Yes, Mom, it went well," Henry replied, his smile indicating his satisfaction. Turning to Meddy, he asked, "And how was your day, Meddy?"
"Mom, my day was amazing. Henry was with Swift, the love of his life," Meddy playfully revealed.
Henry interjected, his face blushing slightly, "Mom, we're just friends. Meddy loves to tease."
"Okay, Henry, if you say so," his mom responded, a glimmer of amusement in her eyes.
As they gathered around the dining table for dinner, Meddy's words lingered in the air. Henry's mom, wearing a tender smile, spoke up, "Tonight, we have a special treat. I've prepared your favorite fruit mix since it's your last dinner with us before you leave for college. Let's savor the moment and enjoy."
"Wow, Mom, you're the best. Thank you so much," Henry expressed his gratitude, his smile radiant.
After saying their prayers, they enjoyed their meal, relishing the flavors and indulging in lively conversation.
"Goodnight, Mom and Dad. I'm going to bed," Henry announced, bidding his parents farewell as he retired to his room, ready to embrace the adventures that awaited him.

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 The Jorney
Meddy gently tapped Henry's leg and spoke in a soothing tone, "Wake up, Henry."
Henry stirred and blinked his sleepy eyes, looking at Meddy standing near his door. "What time is it, Meddy?" he asked, trying to shake off his drowsiness.
"It's time for you to freshen up. Mom and Dad are already waiting for you downstairs," Meddy informed him calmly before walking away.
Grateful for the wake-up call, Henry quickly got ready for the day. He dressed in a stylish black suit, matching it with a black shirt, and put on a pair of sleek black sneakers. As he descended the stairs, he greeted his mother with a smile.
"Good morning, Mom," Henry greeted. "Wow! You're looking good."
"Thank you, dear. I learned a thing or two about fashion from you," his mother replied, returning the smile. Henry then walked over to his father.
"Good morning, Dad," Henry said with enthusiasm. "Wow, this is my boy! I love your outfit."
"This is exactly how I dressed the day I first met your mom at the coffee shop," his dad chuckled. They all shared a laugh before helping Henry carry his bags to the car.
They embarked on a car ride to Drill City, and the journey was smooth without any traffic. Within 10 hours, they reached Haron college and parked the car.
Henry's mother tidied up his clothes and gently styled his hair with her hands. He never felt embarrassed when his mom did that because he knew she loved him dearly.
Henry cherished his parents as well, and he expressed his gratitude to them. "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for everything. I'm very grateful."
"Yeah, that's my boy. Promise me you'll do your best," Henry's dad said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Yes, Dad, I promise to be the best," Henry assured him, his determination shining through.
They shared a heartfelt hug before Henry entered the college, carrying his belongings. He asked a few people for directions and soon found his way to the dormitory. At the registration table, he received his keys to room number 105 and made his way to the elevator.
Upon reaching the fifth floor, Henry stepped out of the elevator and was surprised to find that his room already had occupants. Two young men were present—one lying on a bed, and the other engrossed in a book.
Entering the room, Henry greeted them, "Hello, are you guys staying in this room as well?"
"Yes, are you our new roommate?" one of them asked.
"Yes, I am," Henry replied, showing them his key numbered 105.
"My name is Henry Adams," he introduced himself as he took a seat on one of the beds.
"I'm Zak," one of the occupants replied, shaking Henry's hand. The other person introduced himself as Thunder.
Realizing it was close to noon and they hadn't eaten, Thunder suggested they freshen up and go to the cafeteria for food. Henry agreed, quickly changing into a casual t-shirt and pants before using the attached bathroom to freshen up.
Together, they made their way to the cafeteria, enjoying their meal and taking a leisurely stroll around the college, getting to know each other better. Thunder mentioned that lectures would resume the next day and that it was bedtime.
"Thanks for today, guys. I hope we become perfect roommates for each other," Henry expressed his gratitude as they returned to the room and settled into their respective beds.
As the night fell, Henry closed his eyes, feeling a sense of anticipation and excitement for the new experiences that awaited him.
---------------------
The next
morning, Henry's alarm woke him up at 5:30 am. Surprisingly, Thunder was already awake as well.
"Good morning," Henry greeted, surprised to find his roommate up and about.
"Hey, Henry, you're awake too. I guess we both have morning lectures," Thunder replied.
"Yes, what about you?" Henry inquired.
"It seems we're course mates," Thunder smiled, revealing that they shared the same class schedule.
While discussing their courses, Thunder asked Henry why he chose to study Pharmacy.
"Well, my dad wanted me to study Pharmacy, so I applied for it," Henry explained calmly. "And what about you, brother?"
"It's my dream, bro. So I have to live up to it," Thunder replied, determination gleaming in his eyes. "Come on, let's be fast, or we'll be late for class."
With a quick freshening up, they left the room, leaving Zak still sleeping.
"Wow, we're 20 minutes early," Thunder remarked as they made their way to the lecture hall.
"Yes, it's an opportunity for us to study," Henry agreed, and they settled together in the middle of the lecture hall, reviewing their materials.
As Henry reached into his bag for a pen, he noticed his book had fallen to the ground. When he looked up, he saw Swift entering the lecture hall, dressed in a pink gown and carrying a black bag over her shoulder.
Henry stood up, trying to confirm if it was really her, but coincidentally, the lecturer walked in at that moment.
"Hello, everyone. I guess you should focus your attention on the projector now," the lecturer announced loudly. "My name is Lecturer Sam, and I will be teaching you chemistry."
While the lecturer introduced himself, Henry couldn't help but glance in Swift's direction.
Noticing Henry's distraction, the lecturer said nothing and continued his introduction. He went on to explain various concepts and assigned an assignment before leaving the lecture hall.
Filled with excitement, Henry saw this as his chance to talk to Swift. He informed Thunder about her presence, but Thunder just laughed and walked out of the hall.
Undeterred, Henry walked toward Swift, waving at her as she approached.
"Hi, Henry," Swift greeted, giving him a warm hug.
"Wow! Is that you? Why didn't you tell me you're also studying Pharmacy at Haron College?" Henry asked, slightly offended but also intrigued.
"Please, Henry, I wanted to surprise you. Ever since your dad told me about the scholarship at the supermarket, I was ecstatic and wanted it to be a surprise," Swift explained.
"Come on, Henry. Let's go to my house. It's just a few blocks away from the school. I have something to show you," Swift suggested, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Henry smiled, and they walked together out of the lecture hall.
As Henry stepped into Swift's house, he felt as if he had entered a heavenly abode. The cool air brushed against his skin, and his eyes were captivated by the stunning visual art on the walls.
Carefully sitting on one of the soft cushioned chairs, Henry couldn't help but comment, "Do you live alone?"
"Yes, of course," Swift replied, fetching a bottle of champagne and placing it on the table. "Would you like a drink?"
"I remember those days in high school when you always got whatever you asked from your dad. So, tell me, did you ask him for a big mansion this time? I know your dad is capable of giving you anything with his wealth," Henry teased, looking into Swift's eyes.
Swift smiled and replied, "Have you heard about VRMMORPG?"
"Is that a movie or something?" Henry asked ,his smile pretending ignorance.
Swift realized Henry was pretending and stood up, grabbing his arms gently. "Come on, Henry, remember those days in high school when we played video games together? We were among the best. Now, things have changed. Back then, there were no rewards, but now I have signed a contract with Sunrise Union for the Hundred Man Crystal Collection."
The name struck a chord in Henry's memory. Taking a closer look around the house, he realized that Swift had her own house and cars, all achieved without depending on her father's money. Her words resonated deeply within him.
"Look around, Henry. I now have my own house and cars, all without taking a dime from my dad. Look into my eyes and tell me you want to be a mommy's boy forever. Be a man, Henry, and take charge of your own life," Swift urged passionately.
Henry was captivated by her words and the reality he saw before him. Without a moment's hesitation, he declared, "Yes, can we go and sign the contract right now?"
Swift's smile widened as she hugged Henry tightly, and together they walked out of the house, embarking on a new chapter of their lives.
