A/N: This is my first time writing a FanFiction. I'm sorry if there are any mistakes - I promise, the story will get better, since it's a bit boring as of now. Happy reading and I hope you enjoy! They're so horribly OOC. I just finished rewriting this, because my old writing bothered me so very much. I'm planning on revamping everything before I continue writing.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon or any of their characters. I do own Lily and Gina, my OCs.

CHAPTER ONE

NORMAL POV

A young brown haired girl paced around her room, hurriedly getting ready for her first day at school – Her new school. She barely knew anyone there, her biggest pet peeve of them all. She was never too great at making friends. Still, she was a stellar student. It wasn't her choice to change schools, rather her parents had decided for her. Professor Oak's Academy for the Gifted - Just the sound of the name made her cringe in anxiety.

Taking a gander at the small clock that laid beside her nightstand, a small gasp escaped her pale lips before she grabs her backpack from her chair, running down the stairs. She bid her farewells to her mother, grabbing a piece of toast, allowing it to dangle from her mouth as she waved. Her voice was muffled, and it was a surprise that Whitlea was able to understand her.

By the time she had looked up from her newspaper, Touko had already been lacing up her black combat boots, standing up and slinging her pink backpack over her shoulder. She wore a white tank top with a black vest, paired with short shorts. As usual, she wore her pink hat. She never went anywhere without it, so it seemed.

"Good luck, don't forget to call home when you reach Aunt Belinda's."

With a nod of her head, she sprinted out the door, locking it behind her. She felt the wind brush against her face, pushing her hair back as she sped along the sidewalks. Along her way, she almost hurdled into various people, signs and domestic animals. Upon arrival at the bus stop, she placed her hands to her pale knees, bending over, trying to catch her breath. Letting out a loud sigh, she slams her back against the pole, staring at her watch.

'The bus should be getting here soon… I don't know why it's taking so long… I still need to take 3 transfer routes until I can get to school… Curse the fact that I live so far…'

Once she had taken her second transfer, she groaned, already getting tired. She mumbled to herself, feeling strain from all the textbooks she was carrying. Of course, she would never let that bother her. She was much too positive at the moment to let anything get in her way, but that didn't mean that those feelings wouldn't deteriorate.

Luckily for her though, busing would only be a one or two time thing. Whitlea had a colleague with a daughter that was roughly the same age as her. She was supposedly staying there until papers filed to the school in order to sign up for a dorm room. In all truths, she didn't care where she was going – She just never wanted to go through three transfers to get to school.

A short girl, around the same grade of Touko, merrily skips over to the stop, her long, blonde hair flowing in the air. A few blue streaks were depicted in her hair, although they were fading. She wore a light blue strapless dress, a purse-like bag on her shoulder. She stood beside the brunette, who was twiddling her thumbs nervously.

The blonde's sharp voice broke the silence, "So, you're going to Professor Oak's too, right?"

Touko's head snapped up, slowly grinning before she nodded her head in confirmation, "Yeah…! I got an acceptance letter just a few weeks ago. It was pretty rushed – Er, well, it was mostly my parent's decision, but – Ah! By the way! My name is Touko! Touko White! Nice to meetcha!"

"Cool. My name is Alicia Glacé. I've been a student here for about three years so far. Anyways, I'll give you my number. Text me if you ever need help with anything. I'm always happy to help with anything."

HJr voice seemed to flow in a sickly sweet manner, bringing discomfort to the other. She pulled out a small, pink paper pad and a pen, scribbling something in a swirly, cursive font. She handed the slip to the pink hatted girl, light blue eyes watching her carefully.

"Cool. My name is Alicia. I've been a student at Professor Oak's Academy for three years. Anyways, here's my number. Text me if you ever need help with anything." Alicia pulls out a small pink paper and a pen, scribbling a number and handing it to Touko.

-Touko's POV-

Yes! Score! First day of school has barely begun and I've already made a new friend. I shifted my attention to back to the girl, quickly accepting the slip of paper, bowing my head towards her. I smiled brightly, nodding my head before pulling out my phone and quickly adding in the number before I forgot. I returned the device back to my backpack before staring into her icy, blue orbs.

"You must be smart, huh. Being at the school for three years – It's so intense, from what I heard."

She shrugged her shoulders in response, acting as if it were nothing, "Yeah, whatever, no big deal really. I mean, I'm pretty rich so… You know. I have my ways."

I laughed a bit, somewhat nervously, getting the gist of what she was trying to imply. Maybe Alicia wasn't the best person to be hanging out with, but hey – She was the only person I knew. Acquaintance? Friend? I honestly had no idea where we were right now. Peering over her shoulder, broad grin spread across my face.

"Our bus…!"

Raising an eyebrow, she pulled out her student card, causing me to stare at it for a while, until realization finally clicked into place.

"OH. CRAP. I DON'T HAVE MY STUDENT CARD YET. Alicia! What am I supposed to do now?"

Shrugging again, she sighed, "It doesn't matter. Just tell them that you didn't get it at orientation day because they were late to mail your acceptance letter to you."

I tapped my chin for a brief moment before nodding my head, approving the idea, "Smart! Thanks!"

"Anytime. We're friends right? Friends sit together on the bus. You're going to sit with me okay?"

Well, that sure answered my question. I didn't quite see any harm in sitting next to her, even though she didn't give me an option to begin with. She seemed to be pretty chill, and it would be a lot bette than sitting alone, like I had before. With that thought set in my mind, I nodded my head, "Er… Yeah, sure, why not?"

Stepping onto the bus, I avoided any eye contact possible with the bus driver, looking towards the blonde. I caught a familiar sight of a black and white hat before Alicia grasped my arm and pulled me down to a seat. I tilted my head to the left, staring at the hat's owner. He had his head down and was calmly reading a book. Alicia caught onto my stare, poking my shoulder playfully, "Who are you looking at?"

I motioned towards the boy, "I think I've met him somewhere before… I just don't know where. Do you know him?"

"Yeah, I know him vaguely. I've seen him in the hallways and in my classes but I've never seen him before… His name is N…. N… N… Something."

"Ah… Well, to be honest, that's… A very strange name… Familiar but…" I furrowed my brow at this, "I don't think I remember meeting anyone of the name N."

"Well, he's best friends with this guy named Lance, who practically hits on everyone. N is kind of the serene calm type, but once you get to know him he's pretty childish. He's super tall and I would know this because I had gym with him. And he has the prettiest gray eyes."

I stared at Alicia, raising an eyebrow. Vaguely knew him? She practically had every detail down. I didn't say anything about that though; I simply stared out the window, listening to her endless rambling, trying my best not to zone out.

After comparing schedules with her, I realized we had no classes; we didn't even have lunch together. Alicia had Drama, Art, Math and English, with Block B lunch. I had English, French, Gym and Photography with Block C lunch.

Smiling sadly and a bit nervously, I gave her a small motion with my hand, "See you at the end of school then I guess…"

She made eye contact with a couple of other girls, seeming to have lost all interest in me, "Bye."

I walked calmly into my class. Noticing a bunch of people huddled in one corner, I made the choice to sit in the opposite corner. Timidly placing my books on a desk, I sighed, closing my eyes. Hearing footsteps, I pay no attention, figuring it was just another student walking to their friends.

Someone with a soft tone begins to speak, although I paid no attention. The owner of the voice tapped my desk, causing me to lazily open one of my eyes. It was the boy with the white and black cap. I shifted my view to look up at his face. He tapped the brim of my hat playfully, "Do you remember me?"

Shooting them a glance, I shook my head, "No… Er, well, yes… I mean, I know that I know you from somewhere… I just don't remember where." I looked at his face again, observing every feature. I looked at his eyes, eyes that seemed so vaguely familiar… The gears of my brain begin clicking again and I spoke in an uncertain voice before snapping my fingers, "….Natural…?"

Natural was one of my old childhood friends. We used to live in the same neighborhood, usually spending out days together laughing and playing at the park. The boy chuckled, twirling his hat using his index finger, "Yup. You got it right. Grats Touko, you actually got it right. It's been - what - five years since we've last seen each other?"

I averted his glance, allowing a soft voice to escape my lips, "I dunno. I moved away because my parents had found another job. I live really far away from you now. Luckily for me, I'm staying with another girl though; I think her name is Lily. My parents know her parents, and they offered to take me in. Besides, her parents are barely home. So it'll just be the two of us."

"That's cool." Natural opened his mouth to say something, but he was cut off by the bell. Laughing to himself, he shook his head, "Never mind. Catch you later."

With that, he returns to his desk, being greeted by a sea of both boys and girls. I returned my attention back to a book, before my eye catches a girl with medium length brown hair with a purple headband walked up to me. She pointed to the empty desk and chair beside me, "Can I sit here? My name is Lily."

"Go for it. I'm Touko. Nice to meet you, Lily," I thought about her name for a second, "Hey, is your last name Moto?"

Said girl chortled, pointing to herself, "Yup, that's me, Lily Moto, at your service! Why? Do you know me from somewhere or something?"

I rubbed the back of my neck, "Well… Let's put this the easy way. I'm... Sort of… Your new roommate…" I stared at her, hoping that she would be kind and accepting, like my mom had described her.

Lily clapped her hands together, her eyes sparkling, "YES! I'M GETTING A ROOMMATE! FINALLY!" She took a seat, before running her hand through her hair, "Ah, sorry. I get excited a lot. My mom told me all about you, and I know that you're new. I can show you around if you'd like."

"Thanks! That's great! The day has been going great, so far. I found one of my childhood friends, Natural, and this morning I met a girl named Alicia." I gave an enthusiastic smile before turning towards her, noticing that her peppy futures had fallen. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"It's nothing… Don't worry about it." She shook her head vigorously, changing the topic. "So, which classes do you have this semester? I have English, French, Gym and Photography."

Pulling out my schedule, I reread the courses, "That's GREAT! I have literally ALL the same classes as you! I have Block C lunch, do you? "

Her features seemed to brighten up a bit, "Me too! Although it looks like our teacher is late again… Mr. Brooks is always late, better get used to it, Touko."

I sighed, "Whatever, I hate English class anyways… I don't understand why they HAD to put me in the advanced sector."

The final bell rung, signaling the end of the school day. It had been a pretty decent day actually. I met some of Lily's friends, and I saw some of Alicia's in the hall. They looked at me awkwardly, although I didn't know why. I was still trying to wrap my fingers around the whole 'new school' thing. My new friend – Er – Roommate, had to stay back for band practice, since she was part of the Music Club.

Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a fragment of blue highlights. She stood alone, examining her fingernails. I ran over to her, shouting, "Yo! Alicia! What's up?"

Per usual, she spoke in her soft tone, "Hey. Not much really. How was your first day?"

"It was pretty good. I met lots of new people, and I found an old friend of mine who used to go to the same school as me."

Her ears perked at this, "Really? Who?"

"Do you remember the guy on the bus that you were talking about? His name is Natural and he's one of my childhood friends. I didn't see Lance; although I have a feeling I'll meet him soon."

The girl stared at me for the longest of times. "You… KNOW N? You have to introduce me. Wait… You don't like him, do you?"

Upon shaking my head, she let out a large sigh of relief, flapping her hand dramatically in the air, "Good, because I like him, and I call dibs. As a friend, you have to respect that."

I didn't really care either way, since it didn't affect me. I knew that he just thought of me as a friend, and that I'd never have the guts to ever confess my feelings. As if I had any, anyways. "Whatever, good with me. In other news, I met a girl named Lily. She was pretty nice, and I found out I'm sharing a house with her."

She stayed silent for a split second before quirking a brow, "….Lily? Moto? Eugh. I hated her. She hated me. We hated each other. She's a total loser and no one likes her. I'd stay away from her if I were you."

I stared blankly at her, thinking to myself, 'She does have friends, I met them during lunch.'

Since this was still my first day, I wouldn't dare wrong anyone, even if it were the reality. I ignored the thoughts before releasing my hands, clasping them so my head rested against them, "Oh… Well that's going to be hard, considering I'm going to be living with her."

"Oh… Poor you… Good luck. Don't worry. Just stay away and don't talk to her."

I exhaled softly. I was hoping that this drama wouldn't be around anymore, but it seemed as if it would never leave my side. "Yeah, I guess. I also have all my classes with her. Why do you hate her anyways?" I remembered Lily's sudden mood change in English. Me being myself, I wanted to pry into the issue and see what happened, even if it isn't the best idea.

"It's a long story. I prefer if you not ask, but the most I'll tell you is that we were enemies back in elementary. She used to be my friend but… Meh. I found different people. Stay away from her, okay?"

"Yeah, okay, sure… Don't care anymore." I spotted Natural walking out of the school building. "YO! NATURAL!" He turned to look for the source of the sound before his gaze fell on the two of us.

Alicia lets out a huge shriek, followed by a bunch of words that sounded fused together. "HE'S COMING OVER HERE. DOES MY HAIR LOOK OKAY? DOES IT LOOK FINE? IS IT OKAY? IS MY MAKEUP OKAY? AAAGHH! YOU NEED TO INTRODUCE ME!"

He shot me an unsure glance, uncertainly taking a few steps towards me, trying to ignore the screeching girl beside me. "Hey Touko, 'sup? ….Hello, Touko's screaming friend…"

She let out more words that I couldn't comprehend, before she tried to slowly compose herself, looking towards the ground, a small, but noticeable blush creeping onto her cheeks. I laugh sheepishly, "Sorry about Alicia… She's a little hyper today."

He gave her a nod of recognition, "Nice to meet you, Alicia."

She returned the smile with a grin so large, I was afraid it was going to break her face. "Same to you… N…"

Natural stared blankly at her for a moment, "My… Name is Natural. I'm… Not really called N anymore."

She batted her eyelashes, "Oh… In that case… Hehe… Nice to meet you, Natural."

Sucking in a breath, I shot her an awkward stare. I hated being in the position I was in. I had to look for a scapegoat. Spotting a couple of Lily's friends, I waved at the two of them before bidding them a quick goodbye. He looked like he wanted to punch me for leaving him with her, but it was the only thing I could do. "Adios! Ciao!"

He gave me the death glare before looking at the almost dying Alicia. Rolling my eyes once more, I shook my head softly before making my way towards the bench where Gina and Eddie were.
