Yellow somehow pushes me into the dorm along with our stuff. I don't bother trying to resist, 'cause Yellow's surprisingly scary when she's mad. Although I'm strong, so I could probably get away! The dorm's lobby has lots of stuff, like couches and a vending machine. Come ta think of it, I'm hungry!
"Hey, I want food!" I say. Yellow sighs.
"We just ate breakfast! We'll get something after you get cleaned up, okay?" Yay! Food!
"But only after you get cleaned up. So don't complain unless you don't want a snack." Darn. I...I'll try my best...
Yellow talks to the girl at the counter thingy. Uh, what was it called again? Recu-...repec-...oh yeah! Reception! While I mull over the word, Yellow comes back. She has a key in her hand. Everyone else sees us and walks over.
"Yellow, is that the key to your room?" Blue asks.
"To our room," Yellow replies. "Apparently, each room can fit six people. It'll probably still be cramped though, even with five of us."
"...I do not mind sharing a room," Platinum hesitantly says. "However, I do not wish to share a bed."
"Let's go see what it looks like then," Crystal suggests. "What floor is it on?"
"Um, the very top one, I think. Seventh floor?"
"There are seven floors in this dorm?!" Blue shouts with wide eyes. My stomach growls.
"Let's just go already," I say, frustrated. "I'm hungry!"
Crystal sighs. "Yeah, let's get you cleaned up."
We take the elevator to the seventh floor and follow Yellow's lead.
"Um...," she mumbles. "Room 349..."
Blue blinks. "Come to think of it, aren't we in different grades? Should we really be rooming together?"
"The receptionist told me that since we transferred in late, all of the other students have already chosen their roommates." Yellow answered. Aha! See, I was right! Reception!
"That's convenient. Oh, there's our room!"
On the left side of the hallway. I should remember that. Yellow unlocks the door and all of us (except Platina) stare in surprise. The room is biiiig! And there are three bunk beds!
"I call the top bed!" I shout, running over to them. But before I can climb the ladder to the top, someone grabs me.
"You're not touching them until you're clean," Crystal sternly tells me. I get dragged to the bathroom, with Yellow trailing behind us. Nooo!
I observe the room from the doorway. Three bunk beds in a row on the right side of the room. A balcony, in front, with a table and some chairs. Woah. Fancy. The bathroom is on the left; in a separate room, of course. A circular rug that looks like a pokeball lies on the floor, with a wooden table on it. Five chairs are there, too. The carpet is a deep red, and the walls are a pale pink. Overall, the room is really nice. And I get to stay here. Sweet! I quickly grab my bag and throw it on the outermost bottom bunk.
"This one's mine!" I squeal, tossing myself onto it.
"Then I shall claim this bed." Platinum walks up to the innermost bunk bed and puts her bag on the top bunk.
"Ooh, wanna sleep on the top one, huh? Platinum's actually quite childish!" I grin at her, giggling.
"I have never slept in a bunk bed before," she calmly states. "I wish to make the most of it." Ooh, right. She's always sleeping in those king sized beds, huh?
"Platinum, I've got Sapphire clean. Well, not her clothes though. What do you want us to do with them?" Crystal calls out, sticking her head out of the bathroom.
"Hold on a sec," I say. "I think I've got her spare clothes here, if you need them."
"Please."
I open by luggage bag and start rummaging around. Hmm, I'm sure I have it...Oh, it's here! I toss Sapphire's spare clothes to Crystal, who catches them and calls out a "Thanks". She sticks her head back into the bathroom.
"Please hand me the filthy clothes when you're done," Platinum calls out after her. I hear a bang and a thump before I hear Sapphire's voice.
"Okay! Okay! I got it! I'll change! I can do it by myself! Yellow, you owe me food!"
Crystal and Yellow come out of the bathroom with satisfies looks on their faces. Yellow proceeds to bring her stuff onto the middle bunk bed, the bottom bunk. Crystal takes the bunk below Platinum's. Sapphire comes out, fully dressed and clean, and frowns at us.
"Hey, you guys got ta choose first! No fair!"
"Hey, chillax," I reply, "There are two top bunks available. Mine's and Yellow's. Which one do you want?" Sapphire considers us for a moment and takes her stuff to Yellow's bunk.
"Wow, rude," I pout.
"I dun want pranks every morning," she replies with a huff. Well. She's got a point. I get off my bed and grin at everyone.
"So! I'm gonna go explore! What're you guys gonna do?"
"I'll unpack," Yellow says, opening her bag.
"Me too," Crystal answers.
"I wanna go wit you!" Sapphire exclaims, running up to me.
"I do not need to explore, as I have already toured the area," Platina says. "I shall unpack."
"Alright, bye then! Let's go, Sapph!"
"Hup." I jump from the third floor window of the school and onto a tree branch.
"What the fuck Silver! Don't leave me behind!" Gold screams desperately from the third floor.
"If you don't want to get left behind then jump," I mumble. I'm not willing to sacrifice myself for your safety, since we both share the same problem right now.
"Kyaa! Did you see that?! Silver just jumped from the third floor!"
"Eh, no way!"
"He got away from us!"
"At least we still have Gold-...Huh?!"
I grimace when the fangirls (and boys, actually. You'd be surprised at how many look up to us) notice that Gold ran away. Shit, why couldn't you just stay there? Now they'll come looking for us...
I leap from tree branch to tree branch until I'm out of sight, then jump onto the floor. I'll have to avoid them somehow...I'll probably end up ditching class, so to the dorms it is. I'll have to get in from the balcony though; can't have the receptionist seeing me. Swiftly running toward the dorms, I blink in surprise when I see a familiar silhouette come out from the girls' dorm. Isn't that...
"Huh?...Silver?! Is that you?!" I stare, stunned.
"I missed you so much!" Blue runs toward me. Blue...! I hug her as soon as she reaches me. From the corner of my eye, I can see someone else coming out of the dorms. I break away from the hug.
"Blue nee-san? What are you doing here? Are you possibly..." My eyes widen at thought. No way..did she-?
"I transferred here!" she replies with a grin. "Along with my friends!" The person I saw before reaches us.
"Blue, who's that?" she asks.
"Sapphire, this is Silver. Silver, this is Sapphire. Make sure to get along, 'kay!" Sapphire glances at me and flashes a grin.
"Nice ta meet 'cha!" ...Are those fangs?
"Likewise," I quickly reply, remembering why I was here. "Sorry Blue, I have to get going soon. See you later." I wave goodbye and run to the boys' side of the dorm. Blue transferred here...! I'll have to make sure to keep her away from Gold's filthy eyes.
"Alright! I'm feeling pumped now!" I say with a wide smile on my face. Seeing Silver has given me even more energy!
"..Say, Blue. Wasn't he one of your targets?" Sapphire gazes at me curiously.
"Yup!" I cheerfully reply.
"He looked kinda strong," she continues, with fire blazing in her eyes. "I wanna battle him!"
"With pokemon or with magic?" I mutter to myself. But, speaking of magic...
"Sapph, you do know the classes of magic users, right?"
"Uh-...," she avoids my gaze. I sigh. Guess we'll be having a review session.
"You'll have to classify your targets, geez! The three classes are mages, sorceresses, and witches. Also known as magicians, sorcerers, and wizards."
"I know that!" Sapphire says, pouting.
"Then do you know what they each can do?" Silence. I look around. There's nobody in sight. Good.
"Magicians can use battle magic, and they're good at it, too. They're the most common type of magic users, since there aren't any special conditions needed to become one. There are different types of battle magic. Kind of like pokemon types. However, most magicians can't control more than one type. You're a mage, Sapphire. I'm a mage, too." She nods. Good, she's listening.
"Sorcerers can also use battle magic, however, that's not their strong point. They're the second most common class. To become a sorcerer, you need to be holding something important to you when your power awakens. That object, or objects, will help channel their magic. They only use battle magic in emergency situations. They focus on summoning pokemon most suited for their current situation. The stronger the pokemon is, the harder it is to summon. So, they keep familiars. Familiars are easy for them to summon, but you need a strong bond of trust between you and them."
"Isn't keeping pokemon in pokeballs easier?"
"It is more convenient to get out, however, captured pokemon only know four moves. Summoned pokemon know more than that. Crystal and Platina are both sorceresses." Sapphire hums in acknowledgement.
"And lastly, wizards. They're the least common class. No one knows what the special conditions to become a wizard are. There are theories, though. Wizards can't use battle magic, but they can use enhancement magic. Things like stat buffs, or making a pokemon have more charm. They can even enhance objects. Yellow is a witch."
"But can't Yellow do more than that?" Sapphire frowns thoughtfully. "I'm pretty sure..."
"Yellow is a special case," I answer. "She's, well, different from other witches. A-Anyway!" I try to steer off the topic. It isn't a very comfortable one, and I want to respect Yellow's privacy. Even I know when to stop.
"Doesn't she owe you food? C'mon, I'll pay for it instead. Let's go find the cafeteria!" Unless the food there is free. If not, I'll steal someone's wallet. Hohoho!
"Really?! Yay! I smell food in that direction!"
Alright! Second chapter up! I hope I explained the classes decently enough! Next chapter we'll probably get started with school! Probably! Have hope!
