Hola mi amigos! This is my first Pokemon fanficiton that I have ever posted. This isn't my first story though. I actually had another profile, but the story behind that is on my profile...
Anyway, this is a high school story. I know, it's a bit cliche', but at least this way I will always be inspired and never run out of material as I go through school this year. So, if you like the way this high school story goes, you will know that it will never be abandoned :) Also, i don't like dramatic stories, so this one is much more about humor and friendship, and some romance, and a tad bit of drama, but the kind that isn't very serious (if that makes sense).
Anyway... Everyone is a sophomore, so they will be around 15-16, and I won't give away any pairings :) Please enjoy!
"But I don't wanna go to registration!" A young teen complained, quite loudly I should say. His hair was bright red, and was styled in a way to where it looked like it was a big ball of fire. His red brows were furrowed together in complete annoyance, and his bottom lip stuck out in a pout. The bright red backpack he had hanging over his shoulders was three times the size it was supposed to be, filled with various binders and notebooks. There were two other people walking beside him on the sidewalk, and one of them looked quite annoyed.
"We heard you the first twenty times, Chili," said the annoyed-looking one. Unlike the bright red hair Chili had, his hair was dark blue, and hung down to his chin, with bangs that were combed perfectly to cover his left eye. His backpack was quite big, but not as big as Chili's, since he had decided to hold some of his binders.
"Well I don't, Cress!" Chili shouted at him. "There is absolutely no way school is starting already. We only got out, like, a week ago!" Chili continued ranting like that for a couple more minutes. Their summer was at least two month, and like most summers go, it flew by pretty quickly. The blue haired one, Cress, had to duck slightly when Chili's hands swung up into the air.
"I mean seriously, how could we already- AH!" Chili cried out, falling backwards. The weight of his backpack had finally gotten to him and pulled him to the ground, where Chili had no choice but to lay there and squirm like a Tirtouga that had flipped over.
"Stupid... Backpack!" he gripped, hoping that Cress would help him back up. Unfortunately, the complete opposite happened, and Cress broke down and started to laugh hysterically. This meant that it was up to the third guy walking with him to help him up. The third one was a handsome fellow, having light green hair that was combed down, with his bangs standing up in the front. He gave out a tired sigh, placing the books he was holding down onto the ground, holding out his hand to Chili.
"You need to be careful, especially with a backpack that big," he said, getting Chili onto his feet. Chili's face was a tad pink with embarrassment, and he let out a loud breath through his nose.
"Whatever... Thanks Cilan," Chili muttered, while glaring over at Cress. The blue haired teen's laughs had reduced to little chuckles, and he had freed one of his hands to wipe the tears from his eyes.
"I can't help it. That was really funny," Cress said, walking on ahead. If you haven't guessed already, the three were on their way to school- Unova Regional High to be exact. Registration day was there, though their parents weren't able to make it, so the three were going to register themselves.
"I have to agree with Chili though. It does feel like that we were only freshmen a couple days ago," Cilan said, a hint of enthusiasm in his voice. Unlike Chili, Cilan was actually a bit excited for school. Not that he liked doing school work, but he got to see the friends he doesn't get to see much during the summer, due to him working at his parent's restaurant, and that most of his friends often go places during the break.
"That's what I mean! You know, this could be one of Black's pranks," Chili said with a frown. It was clearly obvious that Chili was one of the kids who could care less for school, whether it was to see his friends or to get good grades.
"Oh please. I know Black pulls some pretty good pranks, but I don't think that he's smart enough to make us think it's registration day," Cress scoffed before he sighed. "Though I don't blame you for assuming so." Chili only shrugged in response, but continued his childish pouting. Cilan gave off a slight chuckle, amused by his brother's honesty. He nudged Chili's shoulder.
"Hey, cheer up. I know you don't like school, but you never know- you just might get a class with Caitlin," Cilan cooed slightly. Chili's face brightened up in an instant. Cailtin was one of the prettiest and the most popular girl in high school, and Chili had been head-over-heels for her ever since the sixth grade. Cress frowned in response to Cilan's statement.
"I don't know Cilan. She is a senior, and much smarter then Chili, so she is going to have much different classes then him," he said bluntly. Chili's smile turned back into a frown as fast as it brightened.
"Aaaaaand there goes my enthusiasm," he muttered. Cilan gave Cress a look.
"Well, I tried," he said. The three were quiet for a few more moments, and looked up when the building was in sight.
The school was two stories high, and was quite large for an ordinary high school. The words "UNOVA REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL" were spelled out across the top of the school in black and white letters. In the parking lot, there were cars parked all everywhere, with students and a few parents walking in and out of the building. It was actually a little chaotic.
"Cilan! Chili! Cress!" a familiar voice called out to the three of them. Simultaneously, the three turned around and looked behind them. Cilan was the first to wave when the familiar face came into view.
"Black! Hello," The green haired teen said happily. Black was a friend of their's that lived only a few houses away. He had a twin sister named White, and she was no where to be seen at the moment. He was kind of tall for his age, and he had longish spiked brown hair, and no matter where he was- school, a restaurant, or even a funeral, he was wearing a red and black baseball cap with a green pokeball on the front of it.
"What's up guys? I hardly got to see you this summer," he said, his hands in his pockets. For some reason, his backpack looked much smaller then it should have been.
"I know. That's hard to believe, since you only live a few houses down," Cress said. Black nodded.
"How was Johto?" Cilan asked. Every year, Black and his family would go to a different region during the summer. They would only leave for a month though, giving them another month to hang out with the group.
"Kinda boring. It's a lot like Hoenn," he said, shrugging.
"Black! Come on, you know I'm not running to the school," White's voice called out. White was pretty, even though she looked a lot like Black. Her hair was long and quite curly, and she always had it up in a ponytail. She normally would wear a pink and white baseball cap, but unlike Black, she knew how to take it off. As she approached, there was a second girl walking beside her. She wasn't anyone the triplets had seen before. She had a dark tan, and short red hair. She had two strands of hair that fell on both sides of her face, as well as a small bun that hung on the right side of her head in the front.
"Sorry. I just wanted to say high to Triple Trouble," Black smirked, using the trio's nickname without hesitation. White looked over at them, smiling a bit as she dug in her pocket for something.
"Hey guys. I want you to meet Skyla, my best friend of... three weeks ago," She said, taking a pack of gum from her pocket. The other girl, Skyla, smiled and gave them a small wave.
"So this is the famous trio, huh? I'm Skyla, but you already know that. I think I have seen you three before. Do you work at the Striaton Cafe?" She asked, her head tilted to the side slightly.
"Yeah, we do. Actually, our parents own the restaurant," Cilan informed. Skyla's smile grew a bit.
"That's awesome to hear. You guys really know how to cook," she replied.
"Thank you," Cress said, dipping his head slightly. Chili was about to say something, when something was caught in the corner of his eye that made his jaw drop.
A bright pink convertible pulled up to a space in the parking lot, quite close to the front. The car door gently opened, and Caitlin, the super popular, steps out of it. Her hair was as thick and wavy as ever, and stretched down just below the backs of her knees. She pushed the white sunglasses from her eyes to the top of her forehead, and her slender fingers slowly brushed over the white ribbons she had on either side of her head. A large, goofy grin plastered itself over Chili's face.
"I think we lost him," White said, snapping her fingers in front of his face. Cress shook his head.
"It's no use. He's gone," he said.
"Well, it's kind of a good thing. He's been so down today," Cilan smiled, taking a handkerchief from his pocket and wiping the drool from Chili's chin. Skyla raised a brow to Caitlin.
"Who is that?" She asked.
"That's Cailtin. She's a senior here, and really popular," Black said. White snickered.
"Not to mention she is the girl that will never go out with Chili," she said. Chili snapped his head to her, his red eyes flashing.
"Hey! It's a possibility!"
"Of one to a million," she muttered, stuffing a piece of gum in her mouth. Skyla looked back over.
"Okay, but what about her?" She asked. Cilan looked over, and stared a moment. He touched a finger to his chin.
"I don't know," he said. It was another girl with Caitlin, but she was shorter and looked to be about their age. She shared Caitlin's sandy blonde hair, and it was wavy like her's as well, but it was about half of the length. She was also wearing a white ribbon, but only one, and it was much larger and stuck up on the back of her head. She was clutching a bunch of binders close to her as she looked around nervously.
"New girl. Nice," Black said, his eyes lidded while his lips were in a smirk. Everyone rolled their eyes. They all knew that Black was into another girl. White nudged Skyla in the arm.
"Alright, let's go. I need to get Dorkus and I registered, and then I will show you around," White told Skyla before turning to the triplets. "Bye guys."
"Show us your schedules when you guys get them," Black said, quickly fallowing his sister and Skyla. Cilan turned to his brothers.
"Then it's time we went as well," he said. Chili frowned.
"All I can say is... is that I better not get Mr. Clay for history. He has really hard tests..."
Registering really didn't take long at all. The triplet's parents had already signed the papers a few days ahead, only because they knew they were going to be too busy to come in. The trio really just had to go in and grab their schedules. Cress and Chili fortunately had a few classes with Black and White, and even with the new girl Skyla, yet Cilan felt a bit lonely.
I guess one class is better then none. Besides, maybe some of the others will be in my classes, Cilan thought to himself as he wondered the hallways, looking for his new locker. Unlike most schools, lockers changed around here quite often. Cilan looked back at his schedule.
1st Period- French II
2nd Period- Honors Chemistry
3rd Period- AP World History
4th Period- Drawing and Painting I
5th Period- Algebra II
6th Period- English II
Cilan was pretty smart in his group of friends. He wasn't the smartest- that was Cheren's spot- and Cress was just as smart as he was, but Cress didn't want to take the more advanced classes, saying that he had enough homework in his other classes. Cilan, as you can see, only took a few of the tougher classes.
"It won't be so bad. I might have lunch with everyone like last year- unless they are still upset about the food fight..." Cilan muttered the last part to himself. Just so everyone knows- that was Black's fault.
After another minute, Cilan had finally found the hallway his new locker was in, as well as someone getting frustrated with their own locker.
"Oh come on," she muttered. She was the same girl from before, and her nervous look was replaced with a look of frustration. Her binders and notebooks were scattered all around the floor, blocking the lockers on either side of her. After resetting her locker combination again, she put it back in, and it had no luck.
"Oh son of a..." She muttered, trying once again. Cilan tilted his head to the side, for some reason finding her frustration a little amusing.
"Do you need any help?" he offered. The girl, however, didn't know he was there, and let out a tiny shriek of surprise when his voice suddenly sounded out. Her locker finally swung open, but ended up slamming into her face. Cilan's eyes widened a bit, and he walked over to her.
"Goodness, are you alright?" He asked, setting his stuff down. She looked over at him, her blue eyes slightly misty, but she had no marks on her face.
"Y-Yeah, I-I'm fine," She tried to say as reassuringly as possible, despite her shy stuttering. Cilan scratched the back of his head.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that," he said. She shook her head.
"I-It got the l-locker open," she said, turning away from him. Her face was hot with embarrassment as she bent down to pick up her stuff. Cilan looked at the locker next to hers, and smiled a bit.
"Ah, here we go," he said. With one swift motion, the locker next to her's opened without any struggle. The girl blinked in surprise.
How did he even do that? she thought, her inner voice sounding quite irritated. Shaking her head, she carefully stacked her binders and notebooks into her locker.
"My name's Cilan, by the way," Cilan suddenly said. The girl looked over at him.
"Huh?"
"I just figured I would introduce myself, you know, since I kinda got you hit in the face," he said, chuckling slightly afterward. The girl nodded, kneeling down to her backpack, which was very small now that it was almost empty.
"O-Oh. I'm Kalea," she said, pulling a small thing of tape from her backpack. She hesitated with it, thinking a moment about what she was about to hang up.
"That's a nice name," Cilan complimented. Kalea blushed slightly, but it quickly went away.
"Th-Thank you," she barely squeaked, now holding a tiny photo in her hands. Cilan could just barely see it, but he made out the figures of a Whimsicott and a Zorua.
"Are those your Pokemon?" He asked. Kalea nodded, putting some tape on the corners. The picture was a bit more clear now. It was obvious it was taken outside, since there was a few trees in the background, with a bunch of fallen leaves on the ground. The Whimsicott was smiling, and was holding a fairly large stick, and was poking the Zorua's face with it.
"What an interesting combination," he complimented. Kalea smiled, looking at him.
"Thank you, I guess. Do you have any?" she asked. Cilan nodded.
"I do, my very own Pansage. He's my only one, but that's only because my brothers also have their own Pokemon, and my parents said it would be quite crowded if we added more into the family," he answered. Kalea let out a loud breath through her nose.
"My sister has four. She got two when she started High School, and my parents gave her two more for her sixteenth birthday when she asked for them," Kalea stopped herself, smacking herself in the forehead. "I'm sorry, I'm just rambling again..." Cilan chuckled a bit, wanting to say that he didn't mind, but the sound of clacking heels took over the halls.
"Are you almost done yet? We really need to get going," Caitlin said, sounding a little irritated. Kalea's hands moved a little faster, and she quickly closed her locker.
"What's the rush? Mom and dad don't need us for another hour," She said, looking at the senior. Cilan continued to stuff his locker, thinking that Caitlin was the older sister that Kalea was ranting about a moment ago.
"Yeah, but my locker is next to this complete loser with really dumb red hair," she said. "I didn't say anything to him, but he kept staring at me and started to hit on me... or at least I think he was."
Chili, Cilan thought, his brows furrowing with slight annoyance, but also amusement.
"Alright then. B-Bye Cilan," Kalea said, waving slightly at Cilan before running to catch up with Caitlin. When she did, she looked upward at her older sister.
"But what about showing me around? I haven't gone to this school at all, unlike you," she pointed out. Caitlin yawned.
"You'll be fine. This school isn't that hard to figure out," she muttered. Kalea sighed, looking downward. She should have known Caitlin would have been no help.
Meanwhile, back with Cilan, his brothers had returned to him.
"Oh my Arceus, Cilan, you will never believe who's next to my locker," Chili said, a humongous grin on his face.
"Oh, I probably can," Cilan said, shooting a look over at Cress. The blue haired teen shook his head, as if he still couldn't believe it himself.
"And that, Skyla, is the one boy the almighty Caitlin will never go out with," White's voice rang out from the end of the hall. Skyla's laugh could also be heard, which made Chili fume a bit.
"HEY! I know it will happen!" He yelled angrily. The only response was a loud snort.
And... that is the first chapter. It took me a couple of days to write, and I'll admit, it's not the best this story will have. I'll admit, this is more of an introduction, introducing a few of the characters in this, especially the main characters (who I really hope you can guess).
And I'll also admit that I don't know Chili's and Cress' characters as much as Cilan's and the other characters, so I'm kinda making them up a bit from fanart I have seen. I hope it's somewhat close, and I really don't know why I like CaitlinXChili, so PLEASE do not ask me. And I LOVE Chili's hair too. It's not stupid, no matter what Caitlin says about it :P
So... I hope the little humor I tried to weave in made this seem interesting, and I will hopefully have the next chapter up very soon.
