Without anymore being said,I returned over to my own room. Pete was out,so I sat down and got busy on my own studies.
Pete showed up a bit later.
"Stomach finally got the better of me. You look to be in a better mood."
"Had a talk with the guy I got kicked off the squad. He's going to let me help him anyway that I can."
"That isn't you everybody is talking about is it?"
"Oh hell. What's going around now?"
"That some guy talked another guy down off the roof of Cochran Hall."
"Guilty as charged."
"Oh I'm sure that made Karl deleriously happy."
"He threatened to put me back in the hospital himself if I ever did anything like that again."
"Yeah and I'll drive the bus to get you there. Damn Dennis why would you.......never mind I know why."
"Yeah,well guess being out of it for months kinda changes your perspective on life. Now I'm the one who needs to get his head around some stuff."
We both settled down and got to work on our studies. Along came 11pm and my phone buzzed. It was my usual message from Karl and I sent mine back to him. Very shortly afterwards I was headed for bed.
5:45 rolled around far to early today. Still I was out of bed and slipping on my jogging gear. Out the door to meet Gordon and Aiden and then downstairs and out. Karl joined us as we passed Cochran Hall and there was little banter this morning. Aiden stayed with us all the way through the fourth lap but then dropped out. We would get him there eventually. One more lap and Gordon and I dropped out and Karl Once again went on to his dorm.
It was into the shower and getting dressed and then down to breakfast. Aiden,Gordon and his roomie Dave joined me.
"You getting all this business stuff Dennis?"
"Yeah I am Dave. My father had an extensive library on all of this and I was reading up before coming to school. So far I've already read about most of the stuff in the intro class. At first it doesn't make a lot of sense but give it time and it should all fall together."
"I hope to hell it does."
"Dave do you know anything about flowcharting?"
"We covered a little bit of it senoir year,why do you ask Gordy?"
"Try flowcharting the lessons. Sometimes just looking at things in a familiar way can get you where you need to go."
"Guess it can't hurt to try it. Thanks."
"If we don't get our asses in gear we're going to be late."
So it was off to Intro to business. Mr McEmbers was promptly there at 9 and would launch right into things. When the hour was up I was off to Ethics. Aiden again grabbed a seat near me and Mrs Flarety was on the spot and ready to go again. Finally basic accounting and the day was over,but not without studying to be done.
Thursday and Friday went much the same as the days before had. So here we were with our first real college weekend to look forward to. Friday night saw me moving a few things into my room at the frat. Karl had come over with me and I did notice more than one pair of eyes following us.
"I think love that those invitations are going to start coming our way again."
"Yeah well let's not either of us go overboard ok?"
"Yes dear."
Which earned me a punch in the shoulder. We made our way upstairs and to my room. I stowed my things away and we were headed down to spend some time with the frat brothers. The guy who had carressed my ass was just coming out of the shower.
"Well,look who is back. Offer is still good Dennis."
"I'll keep it in mind Jared,but no promises."
He again gave me a pouty face as he continued on to his room.
Karl and I went downstairs to get better acquainted with some of the guys. We spent a couple of hours at it. Jared came downstairs and joined the conversation.
"So Dennis you hanging around for open door night?"
"Open door night?"
"Yeah on Fridays if after 8 you're sitting in your room with the door open,means you're looking for company,if you get my drift."
"I get it. Nobody thought to tell me about this before. Now I know,and I don't think so,at least not tonight."
"Well,keep it mind. I bet Kurt will even let us consider Karl an honorary member. Anybody object?"
There were a few smiles around the room,but no objections.
"I'll put it to him when I see him next,which probably won't be until Sunday night. He goes home most weekends as he's only about 45 minutes away."
"Must be nice to be that close. It's a 5 to 6 hour drive for us. We could do it if we had to but it would get to be a real drag after a while."
"So whose parents are showing up tomorrow?"
"Why should anybodies parents be showing up?"
"Because it's parents weekend obviously."
"Karl?"
"They didn't come last year,but then again they were sticking close to home because of you. Dad didn't mention anything about it,so I'm kinda doubting we'll be seeing anybody.Then again dad does like to spurise people every now and then."
"Guess we had better sleep in our dorm rooms tonight."
We stayed and shot the breeze with my frat brothers for another hour or so and then Karl and I decided to make our way back to our dorms. We would once again find some shadows for our good night kiss and then head into our rooms.
Naturally 11 pm rolled around a bit later and the usual text messages were exchanged.
5:45 and I was up and out and the guys were there waiting. Aiden made it thorugh 4 laps again today and Gordon,Karl and I went for one more and then Karl continued on to his dorm. Upstairs and showered and then down for breakfast. Pete and I were both in the room at about 11 when there came a knocking on our door. Just to be on the safe side I checked and made sure Pete was decent before I opened the door. Much to my surprise it was Millie.
"Hey Pete you got company."
"Oh not just Peter but you as well Dennis. I rode up with Karls parents. I'm sure they will be over here shortly."
"Mom! What the he....heck are you doing here?"
"Well you don't expect a mother to completley give up one her son just because he is away at college do you?"
"I suppose not but,heck you should have said something."
"And ruin the surprise? Well you don't look any the worse for wear,neither do you Dennis."
"I'm still running every morning as well as hitting the gym. I'll give you guys the room. If Karls family is here this room is going to get pretty crowed if I stay."
I was headed out the door when I saw some people coming out of Gordons room.
"Dennis! I want you to meet my parents. This is my mom and dad Dennis. Mr and Mrs Bartlett."
Now why did that name sound familiar?
"A pleasure to meet you both."
"Yes well it seems you have made quite an impression on our son young man. So Gordon said you are here for your brokers certification. I know a firm that is supposedly always looking for new talent."
That was when it hit me.
"Bartlett, Harrison Bartlett?"
"Why yes,how did you know?"
"The firm you were just speaking of,is it by chance Sawyer and Associates?"
"It is indeed. What goes on here young man?"
"Sir,I do believe I saved you about $300,000 several months ago."
"That was you who caught that?"
"It was sir."
"Well than I would certainly be happy to write you a letter of recommendation should you ever need it."
"The best recommendation you can possibly give me sir is to continue to do your business with Sawyer and Associates."
"What are your plans then?"
"To finish the certification program,get my license and move into the corner office."
"Well I would guess that would be a few years down the road."
"Not that far sir. My last name is Sawyer."
"Yes, now that you mention it I can see a resembelance. My condolences Dennis."
"Thank you sir. Now if you will excuse me I think I have some people that are going to be coming looking for me."
I made my way downstairs and out of the dorm when Pete and Millie called for me. I turned around to wait for them,when someone landed on my back and nearly knocked me to the ground.
"Dennis!"
"Hey Bobby! Where's the rest of the family?"
"Right behind you Dennis."
I let Bobby down and gave Stan a handshake and Connie and Gert both a hug.
"I hear you've already had your share of mischief Dennis."
"Oh yes that I have. Thankfully I was on the right of the mischief and as far as I know I am not in any real trouble."
"Let's keep it that way shall we?"
"Hey it's not like I go looking for trouble Stan. It just has a way of coming in my direction."
"Yeah it always did as I remember. Well,why don't we head out for an early lunch and then you can show us around campus."
