Ok, I have decided I'm going to try a multi chapter story, not a one shot. This is my first story so I shall apologise in advance for any mistakes or randomness in my story. It is a high school story, as I love those, and it involves everyone. The characters might be a little OOC but I'll try my best. Remember, this is my first multi chapter story. It might start with a bunch of randomness but it will get better as it goes. Anyway, on with the story!
Saying goodbye is never easy!
"Have you packed everything honey? I don't want you to forget anything May!" a woman in her early thirties, her hair a light brown and blue eyes, says to her teenage daughter.
"Yes mum, I've had everything packed for the past three weeks. I've checked, and then double checked, and then triple checked just to make sure. I have everything!" the teenager, known as May, said to her mother. She had brown hair that slightly passed her shoulders. She was wearing a white skirt that was a few centimetres above her knees, a red strap shirt and brown sandals that tie around her ankles. At this moment she was getting ready to leave for PA (Pokémon Academy). Although it might sound like a grammar school, it is really a school for Pokémon trainers, coordinators and breeders. Its students left to become world-famous and highly skilled.
"Are you sure? You have your books, Pokémon, toiletries, clothes? What about if there is a party, you have party clothes right?" Mays mother, formally known as Caroline, babbled on.
"Yes mum, I have everything!" May replied.
"Your toothbrush?" Caroline questioned. May went to open her mouth but quickly closed it.
"No" she mumbled.
"That's what I thought" Caroline said. She walked over to the bathroom next door, picked up a red toothbrush and brought it back to May. "Here you go."
"Thanks mum, I guess I didn't have everything."
"Oh my, my baby's all grown up and going off to a high classed school" Caroline sobbed.
"Mum, don't cry. I'll see you on the holidays." May tried to comfort her mother but was failing miserably.
"Yes, but that's so far away!" she went into a deeper sob. May, unexpectedly, had the urge to cry along to. She was going to miss her mother being to overprotective. Suddenly, a tall man, wearing a red jumper and black trousers, walked in.
"Now, honey we don't want to worry May." He turned to look at May. His brown connected with her blue eyes. "You are going to be fine May. Are you ready to go now?" May nodded back at him.
"Thanks dad, I'm ready!" She exclaimed with a deep breath. He grabbed her red suitcase with different coloured flower on it, and exited the room, heading for downstairs, with Caroline tailed behind. May grabbed her red, over the shoulder, bag and headed for the same direction.
When she got to the bottom of the stairs, she found a small boy, about three years younger than her, with brown hair and brown eyes waiting there.
"Hey Max" she started "You be good now, don't do anything stupid! I'm going to miss you!" tears started to form in her eyes as her brother spoke.
"Wouldn't dream of it… I'm going to miss you too May!" He embraced her and she returned the warm hug.
"May, we have to go now if you want to catch that train." Her father called from outside. She shifted her focus back to her brother.
"Bye Max, I love you."
"I love you to May."
"This is so hard"
"Saying goodbye is never easy, May"
"You were always so smart" May says as she ruffles Max's hair. And with that, May walked out of the door, only glancing back once to wave goodbye.
Outside, her parents waited for her there. Tears were streaming out of her mother's red eyes.
"May, I love you and I'm going to miss you a lot." Her mother sniffled. By now, Mays eyes were full of tears and some were running down her pink cheeks.
"I know mum, I love you too. But I won't be gone long. I will always be a phone call away, ok?" May gave her mother a hug before getting into the blue, five seated car. It had leather seats, smooth doors and a cool metallic radio. It smelt of new car, plus a bubble gum aroma from the air freshener.
The drive was silent, which just made May nervous as she focused at all the things that could go wrong in this new school. What if I don't know anyone? I know Misty is going as she told me when she got her letter, but what if I don't know anyone else? What if I can't make friends? Or what if I know a lot of people but they choose to ignore me, I wouldn't be able to handle that humiliation? What if I make a total fool of myself? What if I'm not good enough? These questions stirred inside May's head as her nerves grew. Her father noticed this and decided to try to comfort her.
"May, everything will be fine! You are going to do great, and you will have that friend of yours. You know the one with red hair and a temper."
"Misty." May whispered back to her dad.
"Yeah, that one. Look, you are going to a new school, sure it will be a little scary at first but thing will get better. And, if it doesn't, you can always call and I will rush to pick you up. I will drive eight hours if I have to."
"You don't have to do that dad, you can go in train! It's much quicker" May joked.
"Yes, you see, everything will be fine." He turned to park into the train station. "You sure you don't want me to go with you the rest of the way?"
"No, that's not necessary; Misty will be on the train with me." They get out of the car and got Mays suitcase. "Bye dad, I love you."
"I love you too, May" he watched her go, as she entered the train station.
"May!" called a girl far in front of her. The girl had red and blue eyes. At this moment her hair was half up, half down, going to just above her shoulders. She was wearing blue jeans and a white tank top that showed her flat belly. She also had a grey hoodie on. As she ran up to the brunette she called out "May! Great you're here"
"Hey, of course I'm here, why wouldn't I be?" the brunette said as the red-head came to a halt.
"Oh no! I mean, the train is about to arrive and I thought you were going to miss it." Unexpectedly, a gush of wind blew passed them as an old-fashioned train arrived at the station. "Well, it's here. We should get on, I want a good seat." The two girls rushed over to the train. They jumped on and hulled up their luggage in to the train as well. Soon they were seated by a window and the train left. Here I go, off to a new school. I'm ready! May thought to herself. I know I am!
Well that's the first chapter, if you got this far, I am proud of you. And if you read it all without thinking, man this is boring, then congrats, you've made a friend in me! Not that you care. There might be some mistakes, don't judge me! And I know, Pokémon Academy, it isn't very original. Anyway, I would love to know what you think so please… REVIEW! I beg of you. I would love to know what you think and any advice would be awesome!
