The young girl wiped a bit of sweat off her brow and hurried through the crowd of students. It was only her first day at Pokemon Tech and already she was going to be very late. "Fuck..." the girl muttered under her breath as she continued to shuffle through the many students. Eventually, she made it to her class, only to be fifteen minutes late. She looked around, many of the available seats were taken. Finally, she spotted one in the far left corner. She hurried over and plopped herself down. The girl glanced over at the person sitting next to her. It was a very attractive man, with lavender colored hair and piercing green eyes. They briefly made eye contact which made the girl blush softly.
She turned her attention to the front of the classroom, where the Professor was talking about pokemon typing. "Now class, which type of pokemon would be good against this type of pokemon?" The Professor changed the slide on the screen to a picture of an Arbok. The class was silent. "Anybody?" Again, no answer.
The girl thought for a moment. "Arbok...what type is that?"
"You there!" The Professor pointed to the girl, "What type of pokemon would be good to use against this Arbok?" He asked her.
Oh great, of course he picks me, She thought. "Uhm...um...err" The girl stammered.
"Say a ground type," the boy with the lavender hair whispered.
The girl looked over at him for a minute, confused, then spoke. "Um... A ground type pokemon?"
"Very good. That is correct"
The girl relaxed a little. "Hey thanks..." She whispered.
"No problem." The boy smiled at her. "What's your name?"
"Jessie. What's yours?"
"I'm James," he said, sticking out his hand.
"Well James it's very nice to meet you." Jessie whispered, shaking his hand.
The two said nothing after, and paid attention to the rest of the lecture. After class ended, the pair walked around campus talking about various things. Their childhoods, their wishes, dreams, etc. They were smiling and laughing, and if you hadn't known any better, you could have thought they had been best friends for the longest time. Eventually James walked Jessie back to her dorm. "Well Jessie it was nice talking to you." James said.
"Yeah, it was nice." Jessie smiled. Suddenly, she pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and wrote something on it. "Here, text me sometime" She said goodbye once more, before before walking into her building. James looked at the piece of paper and could't help but grin.
Jessie entered her dorm, only to have her roommate Cassidy, whom she despised, standing in the middle of it. She was talking on the phone in a tone that sounded angry. "Well I don't fucking care what you have to say, you said you would come to visit me, so you better come, or else I'm not letting you touch me breasts!" The girl slammed her phone shut, ending the call and storming to her bed. "God! I hate my boyfriend so much. He's such an asshole."
"If you don't like him why are you still with him?" Jessie questioned her.
"Why would you even ask me that question? What the hell is wrong with you?!" She asked angrily.
"I...I...er.." Jessie stammered.
"Whatever. I don't care anymore. Anyways I'm going to my friend's dorm, I'll catch you later, Jessi-loser" She snickered, picking up her purse and walking out of their room.
Jessie sighed and sat on her bed. She really hated Cassidy. Ever since the first day of school this girl has hated Jessie for no reason at all. Jessie even tried to be nice to her, only for Cassidy to retaliate with mean comments. "Oh well...At least I made a friend...I think..." Jessie's mind wandered to that mysterious boy James. He was very cute, and also quite nice. Jessie smiled at the thought of James. It was absolutely crazy, but never before in her life has anyone made her feel this special. Oh no…do I like James? Jessie thought about this for a minute. Having a crush on someone always sucks. She decided she would hide her feelings for him until the time was right, or if he expressed the same feelings back. Jessie turned over on her bed and closed her eyes for a minute, only to be woken by the sound of buzzing. It was coming from her phone. She flipped it open to see a text.
?: Hey It's James! Just wanted to text you so you had my number as well.
Jessie: Oh hey! Alright, I added your contact.
James: Awesome :) See you in class.
Jessie flipped her phone off. "God damn it" she muttered. She had a crush— and a bad one too.
Well this was chapter one! I hope everyone enjoyed it! If you did a review would be very much appreciated. I will try to have chapter two coming very soon—so be on the lookout for it :)
