"You sure it's here?" Called a voice. The taller man grunted in response as the creak of a lifted floorboard emanated throughout the theatre. He reached in the newly-discovered space and lifted out a wooden box no larger than a standard shoebox, dusting off the surface gently with his hand. A modest lock protected the silver latch, making the man snort in exasperation. "You'd think she would secure the box better," he muttered under his breath.

"Wonder why she went through the trouble of hiding it," the raven-haired man said as he eyed the object. "Doesn't look so special to me."

"It's probably what's inside that matters," the brunet suggested. "It said that she didn't want to force it open... Well, I'm not so patient." Reaching in his pant-leg pocket, he took out a pair of pliers and snapped the shoddy lock in half. After briefly thumbing over the latch, he turned over to his friend. They nodded in sync, silently agreeing to open the box while holding their breaths in anticipation. The brunet clicked the latch free, opening the box briskly in his haste. A dazzling light pierced the dimmed theatre, as a ringing engulfed their ears. The two men shut their eyes as their senses briefly blinkered out, rendering them incapable of noticing an orb of light escaping the room. After a few moments, they opened their eyes and peered in the box.

"Empty. Can you believe it?" The raven-haired man asked in astonishment. "But what was that? Did someone turn on the lights?"

The brunet wore a disappointed frown. "I'm not positive, but I know we're definitely missing something."


Bewitched

Chapter One: The Single Mistake


"Hello there, big boy."

A young man looked up quickly to see who the flirty tone belonged to, and lo-and-behold, it was none other than the popular girl Blue. He immediately sweated bullets upon seeing her bat her eyelashes, as a gulp barely made its way through his throat. "H-Hi Blue. Can I help you?"

A coy smile graced her features and she dully drummed her fingers against the wooden desk before him. "I was wondering, maybe, if you could let me take your seat? I mean, you don't have to..." Blue stopped as she slowly reached forward and played with his locks. "But it would make me a very happy girl." Blue gave a sweet smile, as she let her extended hand gently caress his burning face.

"S-Sure! N-No problem at all!" The young man agreed as he quickly shot up and scurried away. Blue giggled as she took his seat, turning her attention to the speechless trio beside her.

"And once again, Blue has clearly displayed the power of the female sex," White said with wonder, as Bianca, who sat just beside her, giggled loudly before saying, "I've never seen a boy look so terrified."

There was a scoff soon after. "What she really proved is that no matter how late she is, she will always find a seat," Cheren sardonically said. Blue grinned at this comment. "It's a blessing!" Blue happily exclaimed as she fingered a cheesy peace sign.

Cheren frowned. "Blue, in absolutely no way is being as punctual as a tortoise, a blessing. If anything, you have tardiness syndrome," he reprimanded. Blue stuck out her tongue at her black-haired friend. Cheren sighed, then added, "And the maturity of a toddler."

Blue crossed her arms in defense. "Hey, I'm a girl who likes to take their time in the morning. And besides, I'm not always late."

White shrugged. "It's true, Cheren. That girl was up even before me. I left the apartment when she was still getting ready," White said with a smile. It was times like these that White proved to be Blue's female soulmate. Being White's roommate was the best decision Blue has ever made; she was the tomboy to Blue's girly.

Blue quickly grabbed at Cheren's unsuspecting ear. "And who are you calling immature, little boy?" she cooed teasingly.

Cheren shot an angry glare at the oblivious girl, before snarking, "And who is the twenty-one year-old freshman?" Blue frowned at this remark and noogied him lovingly. "Hey, you know my story! Had to work for three years just to get here."

Immediately after saying this, Cheren deeply regretted it. He had been Blue's friend through White for about a year now, and he fully sympathized with her situation. He knew that Blue's parents had been deceased for quite some time now. Cheren shot a guilty look at the suspiciously-grinning Blue before looking away in shame. "I'm sorry. I went too far."

Blue noticed the sudden change in air and laughed to lift the mood. "Relax, my sweet juniors! I get along with all ages." Blue winked at the trio. At this time, the English Professor, Professor Wallace, walked back into class. "Sorry about the hold up, kids. I had an emergency meeting with the school's dean. Now, let's get back into H.G Wells', The Time Machine."

Blue took out her notebook and copy of The Time Machine from her shoulder bag, and quickly jotted down notes as fellow classmates shared their opinions on the novel. She couldn't put her finger on it, but she felt as if someone were watching.

The school's 6 o'clock evening bell rang throughout campus, as Blue, Cheren, White, and Bianca made their way through small crowds of students, finally making it out of the building.

White stretched as soon as she felt the cool breeze of autumn air graze her skin. "Glad today's over! Monday's classes are the worst!" Blue nodded in agreement. "Tell me about it. I don't know why we picked the odd hours." Walking a bit further to the parking lot, Bianca noticed two familiar seniors standing by Cheren's car, their ride home. "Hey, aren't those two Red and Green?"

Blue immediately turned her attention to the chatting pair and clutched her shoulder bag a bit tighter. "Yeah, they are."

Red, noticing the approaching group, waved as he greeted, "Hey Blue! What's up?" Finally reaching the duo, Blue shot back a happy smile. "Oh, just the usual. What about you? I haven't seen you two in a while."

After hearing Blue's inclusion of Green, the brunet turned around, silently nodding in greeting. Blue gave him a brief, small smile, before turning her attention back to Red. "We've been busy! Being a senior is tough as nails, Blue," Red said with a growing frown as he leaned back onto the black BMW behind him, which was probably Green's. "It's just so weird seeing you here. I'm not used to hearing about a girl who scares boys away from their seats," Red said with a sudden smile.

Blue cheeks dusted pink upon hearing this, as her eyes flickered towards the regretfully-uninterested Green. "Oh, that's going around? Didn't think it was that big of a deal," Blue suddenly defended.

Red laughed out loud. "The guy you attacked is my friend's younger brother. Arceus, Blue, that boy won't stop talking about you now."

White joined in at this point. "Well, Blue does have that kind of effect on boys. You should know the deal by now." White smiled at the intrigued Red. He turned his attention toward the group behind Blue, apologetically.

"Hey, we haven't really introduced ourselves. I'm Red, and this is Green. Are you three all frosh as well?"

Bianca nodded as Cheren spoke up. "I'm Cheren, and this is Bianca and White. We're friends of Blue."

Red grinned. "Nice to meet you all." At this time, Green coughed softly, signaling his impending exit. "Sorry to interrupt this introduction, but Red and I have matters to deal with."

"Oh, right. Sorry to cut the meeting short, Blue and friends." Red said as he quickly picked his bag from the ground, "I'll catch you four later!"

Red rushed towards the main building, as Green passed the group without so much as glancing at Blue. She sighed heavily after they were a distance away.

"How long has it been since you last talked to them?" White asked with an eyebrow perched. She knew about Blue, Green, and Red all being from the same high school, and she knew that they were sort of friends at that time, but time did not favor their friendship and they drifted. White also got a hint as to what Blue was feeling. She made a mental note to bring it up later when they were back home.

"Maybe about a year, give or take. By the way, how did you know their names, Bianca?"

Bianca met eyes with Cheren before looking back at Blue. "Well, everyone knows about Red and Green around here. They're pretty popular. Gosh, what is with it with you Viridian High kids? You three must've been in the cool group. "

Blue let out a sudden laugh. "Not exactly. Red and I were fairly normal, but Green's another story. Life is great when you're the grandson of a world-renown scholar."

"Or hotter than the sun," White added. Blue and Bianca grinned at White's forwardness, as Cheren rolled his eyes. "Girls." As they entered the red Audi, Blue noticed an unfamiliar boy walking across the University's main building garden. After he disappeared into the building, the already-seated White tugged at the hem of Blue's shorts. "Hey, what's up?" Blue broke away at the sound of White's voice, and blinked quickly as she entered the car.

"Nothing. Let's go."

..

.

"Okay, talk."

Blue peered up from her Calculus textbook and shot a confused look at White, who leaned against the doorway. "About what?"

White sighed as she walked into Blue's bedroom. "About you, being awkward around Red and Green. I saw how you tensed up as soon as you saw them. What's the dealio? Especially with Green Oak."

After a few moments of silence, Blue sighed, closing her textbook with a snap, "You know, you're highly perceptive only to things that have nothing to do with you."

White lifted a brow as she fell back onto Blue's neatly-made bed. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing," Blue smirked, "anyway, I know I can't get things past you, so I'll talk."

White hugged Blue's pillow as the older brunette joined her on the bed. "Red and I were friends in high school, as you already know. But Green and I were never particularly close. Green was Red's friend, not mine. Things were always kind of weird between us. He never opened up to me..."

"Which disappointed you, since you loveee him," White emphasized. Blue took the pillow out of White's arm and shoved it into White's laughing face. "Is it that obvious? I had the biggest crush on him since I transferred into their school in junior year."

"Crush is right. That boy looked like he never experienced the joy of love. Or happiness." White monotonously remarked with a tinge of sarcasm.

Blue pouted. "Hey, there's a reason he's like that."

White nodded seriously. "Yeah, everyone on campus knows about it, but still, he seems he's got a stick so far up his ass that-"

Blue lightly punched the joking girl. "Hey, be nice." White smiled. "Yeah, yeah. I'll be nice. Just make sure you name your first born child after me, after the two of you get married."

Blue chuckled at the thought. "Marriage? Please, he can barely stand to look at me."

"Because it's loveeee!" The two girls laughed together in sync. Blue knew that White was just kidding around, but she did rather enjoy the thought of Green returning her affections. After all, he was the only boy in history who seemed to completely reject her advances. "Okay, out! I need to get some studying in tonight." Blue said with a smile on her face, as she lightly pushed the younger girl off of the bed.

"Boo, you're no fun. But don't scribble hearts with Green's name in them on your notebook, or else I might die of jealousy from you preferring to sketch out his name over my company." White said with a pout, leaving the room.

Blue chuckled at this. "Hey, I keep school and love in separate departments. Besides, I'm not the one constantly checking out the Calculus Professor throughout entire lectures!"

..

The next day, when they reached school grounds, White looked over at Blue and noticed a quiet disposition that was unlike the brunette. "Blue, are you okay? You look less than cheery." Blue gave a brief shrug, which was also unlike the brunette, and replied, "I'm just not feeling so hot." White stopped walking at this revelation, and quickly turned to the dazed brunette. "Hey, you want to go to the nurse or something? I'll take you there." Blue shook her head. "No, I'm good. It's not that kind of feeling." Blue let out a deep sigh and closed her eyes.

"Silver! Silver! Silver, where are you!?" Blue cried out loudly over the roaring flames.

Just five minutes ago she was safe, and asleep. Now she was fighting for a dear life, as well as searching for her dear younger brother. "Silver, answer me!"

Blue wheezed from the lack of oxygen, squinting her eyes in response to the smoke. With her vision blurred, she failed to notice the depressing floor just steps before her. Her vision glazed as she felt her back thud against the floor below.

The last thing she remembered was the face of a brown-eyed wolf.

Blue shuddered at the memory of the incident. Last night, she had her reoccurring nightmare- the nightmare that spawned from the deepest, darkest part of her memory. When she was in middle school, she had lost her brother in the infamous Johto orphanage fire. After the loss of her young brother, as well as her parents, Blue learned to wear a mask to hide her inner demons. A mask that was quickly melting around White, as she was the closest thing she had to a family now.

"It was probably all of the studying you did. I told you to cool it with the excessive studying, Blue. You make top grades already."

Blue shrugged, "I get top grades because I study. But you're right, I'll get more sleep from now on." Anything to stop her from reliving that absolute hell.

"Hey, you two," called a familiar voice. White turned her heel and beamed at Cheren. "Hey, you. Hey, Bianca."

Cheren smiled at the two girls before him. "Are you two up for coffee? Let's stop by the cafe before class starts."

Blue nodded in agreement. "Coffee sounds so good right now." White squeezed Cheren and Blue close to her, dragging them along to the building. "Come on you two. Let's get you two caffeine addicts, your fix."

Cheren shot a pointed glare towards the oblivious White before meeting eyes with Blue. She smirked knowingly, giving a look that shouted 'I know you like it.' Cheren hastily turned the other way, making Blue giggle in triumph. As they entered the quiet building, Blue noticed the same boy she saw from yesterday at the end of the hall. She met eyes with him. It was strange, he seemed almost... confused. He just stood there like a statue, fixated on Blue. She doesn't know why, but Blue wiggled out of White's hold and said, "Hey, I'll see you class, okay?" White, Cheren, and Bianca shared confused looks before reluctantly agreeing. "Sure."

They headed the opposite direction as Blue walked towards the lone figure. With every step she took, he seemed more and more confused. Finally, after reaching the said boy, who she noticed is a foot taller, she started, "Hey, are you okay? You seem a bit rattled."

He blinked his red eyes in pure astonishment, and turned around, looking for a possible someone else she could be talking to. When he finally realized that they were the only ones in the area, the boy spoke, "Are you talking to me?"

Blue raised a brow. "Well, you are the only one here besides me."

The boy knitted his brows, then looked back at the brunette in pure happiness. "You can... see me?"

Blue couldn't even process what he said before he tackled her into an embrace. Who was this boy and why was he hugging her? And what did he mean, 'you can see me?'

"Thank Arceus, thank you for seeing me."

A/N: More introductions are on the way, but trust me, things will pick up next chapter. And there are a lot of questions I planted in this chapter, I know, but don't worry. All will be revealed in time. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! I plan on finishing this fic before I have to go back to school, so it'll be updated frequently. The next chapter title is: Ghosts of the Past.

... Maybe I should change the title to "The Bromance of White and Blue"
