Theon rode through town on Jake, weaving their way through the morning crowds.
When the duo reached the campus, Theo looked up at the clock tower. 7:57, they made great time. Jake reached the door at a skidding halt, as Theo hopped off of him, running through the main entrance.
With Jake following behind, Theo made a quick stop at his locker, retrieving his books and supplies for Pokemon Biology, which was one of the Pokemon oriented classes that were available at Goldenrod High.
Theon looked up to one of the clocks, there were exactly 47 seconds left until class began
Slamming his locker shut, the two of them rushed down the hall, and burst into room 274 just as the bell rang, causing more of a scene the Theo would have liked.
"Ah Theo, in at the last second as always. Would you be so kind as to take a seat so that we can begin class?" The question came from Mr Wilkens, who stood at the front of the class room. In the room, where a number of desks, and at most of the desks were the students. Most of which also had a Pokemon with them, as the students enjoyed the Pokemon's company during classes, and the Pokemon liked to stretch their legs and set with their trainers during class.
"Yes sir." Theo said relieved. Scanning the room, he noticed that his friend, Anthony, hadn't managed to save him a seat next to him.
Theon's blonde haired friend was shrugging apolitically to him from across the room.
The only open seat was next to Amber, a red-headed girl who Theo didn't really talk to much, and her Pokemon, a pink haired Epseon.
Jake followed Theo to his seat, just managing to squeeze through the door.
Theo placed his books on the desk, and looked up at the black board, housing many notes about Pokemon Anatomy. With there being so many Pokemon, there was a lot to cover in this subject.
Theon's train of thought was interrupted by something falling over behind him.
Turning around, he noticed the Jake had bumped into one of the fake plants in the room, and knocked it over, causing a frown from Mr Wilkens, and a lot of giggling from the rest of the class, including Amber.
Embarrassed, he reached out to the plant from his seat, and set it up straight.
Normally, he wouldn't have Jake out during class, but it would be rude to switch out while the teacher was talking.
Jake finally got comfortable, so that he was lying with his back to Theo's chair, a position Theo was happy about, because he could lean his head back against the canine's spine.
Half way through class, while Theo was taking notes off the blackboard, he was again interrupted.
Another girl, to his right, who's name escaped him at the moment, tapped on his arm.
Thoe looked up to her. She was holding a note, and pointing to Amber, Theo got the message. He took the note, and when Mr Wilkens was writing something on the board, slid the note over to Amber, who quickly swiped it up.
Soon after, Amber fell into a fit of giggles, earning a nervous glance from Theo, which only made her laugh more.
Theo was surprised the Mr Wilkens had missed such an event, as he usually caught on to such things very quickly.
Class went on, and eventually, Mr Wilkens wrote that days' assignment on the board, which the class began to copy down.
On the way out of class, Anthony caught up to Theo, and apologized for not saving his seat.
"Hey, it's okay man, I slept in." Anthony didn't look satisfied, but the conversation was interrupted by Amber, and her friend, who's name he now remembered to be Jessica.
"Uhm, hey Theo?" Asked Jessica.
"Mhmm?"
"Well, Amber just wanted to ask you something." She said, hardly managing to suppress a laughing fit.
Theo turned his attention to Amber, who immediately blushed the same dark red as her hair. "I was just wondering if, well if..." Amber trailed off, but with a stomp on the foot from Jessica, managed to finish.
"Ow! If you wanted to team up for the Competition at the Carnival tonight!" Amber then glared at Jessica, was was downright hysteric with laughter.
"Uhhh..." Theo was thrown off by the question. He usually didn't compete in the Team Competition, usually the Solo Competition. Why would Amber want to team up anyways?
"Of course he will!" Anthony broke in. "He'll see you there!"
Amber's face brightened instantly. "Great! Well, see ya!" She said, going off to her locker, dragging Jessica with her.
Theon turned to Anthony and frowned, "What was that about?"
"Dude! You can be so dense!" he said laughing.
"No, your Geodude is dense!" He said, pointing down to Axel, Anthony's Pokemon. Anthony and Theo laughed at the joke. Quickly forgetting the subject.
