Chapter 1
~oOo~
"Roserade, Solar Beam!"
"Ninjask, no!"
…
"And the winner of the Grand Festival and the new Top Coordinator is none other than…Drew Hayden!"
…
I stood there slightly shocked. It's not every day that you become a Top Coordinator. This had always been my dream and the fact that I had finally made it reality made me feel so…ecstatic. It's a feeling which I probably can never describe.
Nevertheless, I quickly snapped out of it…well because…heck I have a reputation to uphold! I can't be overwhelmed by all this…or at least I shouldn't show it.
~oOo~
Even though it's been a while since that day, I still feel the after-effects…fans…
~oOo~
I reached my hotel room and flopped onto the bed. I was so tired…who wouldn't be? As if a few fan-girls weren't enough…now I've got hoards of them. They expect photos, autographs, interviews, hugs, handshakes…the list goes on and on. If there was an option to tear me into a million pieces and divide it amongst them, they probably would have done that too. Ugh! I always had wanted fans, but I never thought it would be so painful…
~oOo~
I started getting bored so I went for a stroll in the hotel lawns. Thankfully there was no one in sight…yet…but the hotel manager had assured me that I won't be "assaulted". Nevertheless I still put on the shades and hat I brought…better to be prepared, right?
~oOo~
After being lulled into a sense of security, I decided to venture out of the hotel grounds. I was pretty happy with my disguise.
~oOo~
I walked past so many houses and shops that I lost count. I was surprised that I was enjoying watching everything, even the most boring stuff which people wouldn't look at even once, let alone twice. I guess it was because I was roaming around town (incognito, I pointed out to myself) and without interference…hopefully meaning 'no getting mauled by fan-girls'…that I enjoyed it.
Just then something caught my eye. It was a card shop. Full of cards which read…"Happy Mothers' Day".
Shit. How could I forget? Was I so consumed by my dreams that I never even bothered…to remember?
A guilty feeling started enveloping me. I didn't even remember the last time I spoke to her, let alone saw her…
Shrugging it off, I continued down the street…
~oOo~
It had been two hours since I had started my "tour" and luckily, I was still in one piece. Now that's truly an achievement…a record.
Smirking to myself, I made my way to a small bakery I happened to notice. The cupcakes on display looked good. I was going to get one for myself when I noticed a boy getting a cake packed. It was the order that caught my attention.
He had ordered it for Mothers' Day…
I left the place as soon as I could and blindly continued along my way…
Mother…
I reached a park, so I went in and sat on one of the benches. I felt quite relaxed by that time…well, until a ball came flying towards me. Luckily, it didn't hit and I was able to catch it in time.
"Sorry, Mister."
"It's fine."
"Joey, did you get the ball?" A middle-aged woman shouted from afar, his mother presumably.
"Coming, Mom!"
I continued to look at them play. I don't know why, but I just did.
"It's getting late Joey, let's go home now. I made you something special today!"
"Yay Mom! You're the best!"
"And you're the best too, Sweetie."
"I love you Mom!"
"Love you too, my baby."
…
Only one sentence got registered in my head. Just one freaking thing.
Mom…
Angrily, I got up and stormed back towards the hotel.
~oOo~
