(A/N: I had a few ideas so I guess I'm not going to make this a one-shot anymore. I think I'm going to write based on my mood, so I apologize in advance if it goes from dark to humorous randomly.)

Chapter Two: Break

My first expectation going into high school was a continuation of the status quo. People would not really care too much for me because of how I was in middle/elementary school, and Blue would be constantly becoming more popular.

I was fine with that, as long as Blue still asked me for help with homework, talked to me about her personal struggles, and ate meals with me I was content. There wasn't much I could really ask for.

I fell in love with her more everyday but I was alright with our current situation. I was confident that I would always be her go to for anything and that I occupied an undeniable spot in her heart like she did in mine. So I decided that I would wait until we had settled into our new high school lives before I confessed.

So I entered Pallet High confident that I could make new friends and continue to be Blue's anchor.

Pallet High had an interesting dynamic of welcoming students from not only all around Kanto, but all the other regions as well. It was highly acclaimed for fostering some of the best trainers, gym leaders, and other Pokemon related talent in the world.

What this meant was that my original expectation of not being cared for because of my previous behavior was suddenly shattered. Blue and I were the only ones to make it to Pallet High's main campus as I was a good student and I helped Blue every day since she had struggled with her studies.

"Hey Red! What's up? You've been blanking out for a while now." Blue's sudden outburst shocked me out of my thoughts.

"Ah sorry Blue, I was just thinking that even though I've lived in Pallet Town all my life, I didn't know that it was this prestigious." I replied in an embarrassed manner.

Suddenly the realization came over me, here there would be a whole population of guys that Blue had no bad history with. Which meant that Blue was no longer going to be asked out by guys who had bullied her and me. A slight panic washed over me and I quickly asked "Blue even though we're going to high school now, our relationship will still be the same right?"

"Of course Red! You'll always be the same Red to me!" She chirped happily.

Satisfied with her answer, I decided to follow her as we went to find our classroom. The announcements went on as we were walking through the halls looking for room 1A. Apparently, Pallet High placed each student into a class and we would only rotate teachers but not the students we were with or the classroom.

Entering the classroom I noticed there was about fifty seats spread across the room and most of them were already occupied.

Ah we're late because I zoned out this morning. I thought to myself.

Our teacher, Mr. Satoshi glanced over at us and then looked down at his class roster. "Ah! You guys are just in time for introductions so why don't you guys go first?" He said enthusiastically.

Blue went first and bashfully muttered "Hi my name is Blue and I'm from Pallet Town, I hope to get along with all of you and the first Pokemon I want in high school is Bulbasaur".

I forgot to mention, at Pallet High you are allowed to pick a starter Pokemon who will accompany you through your studies. Along with the starter there are lots of other facilities to help us with our Pokemon knowledge, but the starter is the most important one because they will be our first partners.

It was my turn to go. I proudly proclaimed "My name is Red, and I will become the strongest Pokemon trainer in the world, I am also from Pallet!"

Glancing around, I expected the smirks and mean looks I was accustomed to from middle school. Instead, I got a few impressed looks and others looked fired up by my sudden proclamation. A group of girls in the corner near the window gave me big encouraging smiles and with me being unaccustomed to this kind of treatment I blushed and averted my eyes.

Mr. Satoshi gave a hearty chuckle and said "Now that's the spirit! That's exactly what we're all about here at Pallet High! Now let's see, how about you and Blue take a seat over there next to the window near that group of girls?" I gladly took the opportunity to get out of the spotlight and along with Blue we took seats in the corner.

Now that I got a closer look, the girls there were all quite pretty in their own ways. There was a blue haired girl, one with a red bandana tied up in her hair, one who had on shorts so short that I was pretty sure weren't acceptable in school, one with a yellow skirt and black tights, and one with a pink hat on. I took a note on how liberal the dress code was here.

They were all very attractive in their own ways, but I only had eyes for Blue so I gave them all a polite smile which they returned with smiles that also had some element I couldn't quite place. Sort of like when you see a book cover that interests you is how I would describe it.

As I was getting settled down the other students were taking turns introducing themselves and I was preparing to have a nice first day of class.

And then a brunette boy walked up to the front of the class and said, "Hello my name is Green, I'm from Johto and it'll be a pleasure to get to know all of you. While it's not as bold since Red already said this, I also wish to become the greatest Pokemon trainer in the world."

And then my heart broke.

(A/N: I promise it'll make sense in the next chapter :P)
