Chapter 3
"Oh boy…where am I now?" The raven hair girl sweatdrop.
First, after taking the exams, she got lost and ended up angering someone , now she is lost elsewhere.
"Try asking someone." Her pink Pokémon suggests, sitting idly on her head.
"Are you serious?!" She exclaim. Yellow isn't one to talk to strangers so easily. Whenever she got the chance, she couldn't bring herself to speak. In the end, she leans against a wall to rest from the aimless walking.
Maybe she shouldn't have come at all...
Mew, can you hide? I'm afraid that someone might recognize you. She asks through telepathy. Mew shrugs and turns invisible.
"You look troubled." Came a voice next to her. The demure girl jolted up in surprise to find the boy who broke up the fight earlier.
"N-no…I...I'm fine..." She lied. The boy didn't look convinced.
"You're new to the school right?" She nods hastily, wondering who the boy is.
"You're probably looking for the Main Office then?" He only got a silent nod in response.
"It's nearby; want me to take you there?" This time, the girl shook her head.
"I-if you give me t-the d-directions, I-I'll get there eventually." She didn't really want to be in contact with anyone. Red look blankly at her response but respect her decision. He promptly told her the direction Main Office. The young girl thanked him quickly and ran off as fast as she could, inwardly sighing in relief. Why was her heart beating so fast?
…
Yellow looks up to the room that have a plaque that says 'Prof. Oak' and under it, the words that said 'Principal'. She then take a deep breath and knock on the door before hearing a voice that tells her to come in.
"Um...Prof. Oak?" Yellow is again, overcome with shyness, as she looks at an old man wearing a white lab coat. Her Uncle told about him to her but she couldn't help but be shy.
"You must be Yellow." He says with a friendly smile.
"Have Uncle told you about me?" He nods.
Yellow bit her lips. "Even..."
"Don't worry, I won't pry into that. Your Uncle is a close friend of mine." He gestures to a chair. "Have a seat."
AS she sits down, the Professor started to explain to her the structure of the school and things like that.
"…. And if you have any trouble, feel free to ask any of the staffs available or Dexholders."
"Dexholders?" Yellow gave Prof. Oak a questioning look.
"The top students of this school are given Pokedexes and sometimes are asked to do some research for the school. You can say they're the student council, they have the responsibility of protecting the school in case it gets attack as well as some school affairs."
Yellow nods in understanding.
"I almost forgot to give you these." Prof. Oak suddenly remembers that he has to give Yellow her student ID and dorm number.
"Your personal belongings and your uniform are already taken into your dorm room."
"Thank you Prof. Oak."
"Now about your exam..." Yellow got nervous. They really grade the test at light speed if her score is already known.
"Your score was a lot higher than that of students of your age." Prof. Oak informs. " I would like to give you a chance to skip a grade. Would you like that?"
Yellow thought about it then nod firmly. She feels the urge to get out of this school as soon as she can. Prof. Oak type furiously on his computer then prints out the schedule and hands it to raven hair girl.
"You can get your books later from the main library."
"Thank you."
Just as Yellow is getting up, she hears a knock on the door.
"You're just in time Red." Prof. Oak remarks, telling the student to come in. The same black hair boy comes in.
"So what did you want m-Oh hey!" He greets once he saw Yellow.
"Um…hello again." Yellow says shyly, looking down on the ground wondering what the boy is doing here.
"Have you two met before?" The Professor raise an eyebrow.
"Kinda." Red grins sheepishly. "Never got her name though."
"I see." The Professor says with consideration. "Well then, Yellow, I would like you to meet Red; he is one of Dexholders and possibly the strongest. He'll be showing you around. I'm sure you'll be able to act normal around him. Despite his skills, he's really amiable. "
"There's probably a stretch on the strongest part." Red says, scratching the back of his head. He then turn the raven hair girl. "Nice to meet you Yellow!"
"Hello." The girl mutters quietly though Red didn't quite catch it.
"Sorry?" The quiet girl hesitant to speak again, she then felt a smack on her head.
"Better say something or else." Mew threatens.
"Okay fine!" Yellow whines, telepathically.
"T-thank y-you for h-helping me!" The girl stutter.
Red chuckles. "You don't have to be so tense."
...
Awkward silence befell the two as they walk along the hall while gaining stares and whispers from other students.
Red tried his best to start a conversation but to no avail. The girl wouldn't budge from her silent mode.
Maybe Blue will have better luck with her...she was back today. Red thought, scratching the back of his head. Why can't one of the girls do this instead of me...
He then notices Yellow feeling uneasy at the stares thrown at her by other girls. Red can't really do anything about that...Now he knows Blue or some other girl should've been the one doing this!
"Um..." She suddenly spoke up.
"Hm?"
"Will you take me to the main library? I need to get my books."
The raven hair boy grins. "Sure!"
Well...at least she said something.
Time lapse
Again, the two went into silence as Yellow walks back with the books.
"Say something!" The invisible Pokémon urges. "This silence is unbearable!"
Yellow fretted, turning red as she speaks. "H-Hey Red...i-is it t-true that we can have Pokémon outside of class?
Red thought for a moment. "That only applies during school time. You can have a relatively small Pokémon accompany you after like..."
He takes out a pokeball and sends out his buddy, Pika. "Like Pika here."
"Kaaa." Pika stretch, finally able to get out of its pokeball, then it notices Yellow. "Pikapi!"
Yellow stare with horror as Pika reminds her of…
"Um…Yellow? Are you there?"
"H-huh?" The girl quickly snaps out of her trance and drop her books. Upon clashing loudly with the floor, Yellow dash to hide in the next corridor.
"…Wha..?" Red and his Pokémon exchange looks of confusion to what just happened.
Greaattt. Get a foghorn and she'll be running out of the school. The invisible Mew sighs and shakes her head before flowing to comfort her friend. She then sees Yellow curled up with static running through her body.
She really isn't used to this environment. Mew thought seriously. Mew pats her on the head to make her presence noticeable to the anxious girl. Upon sensing Mew, Yellow calmed down.
"Hey um..." And just in time too! Red peeked around the corner; books in hand, his face fill with concern.
"Are you okay?"
"Pikapi…" Pika looks worried too.
"Yes, sorry..." Yellow says with an apologetic smile, trying to avoid looking at the Pikachu. "I'm just too nervous from all of this."
"Did Pika scare you?"
"N-no…!" Yellow reply hastily. Pika hops onto her shoulder, starting up her nervous breakdown again.
"Pikapi!" Pika nuzzle her to show affection. Then static went from Pika and her but went unnoticed by Red.
"Looks like Pika likes you!" Red grins. Yellow smiles meekly. Pika sniffed around and detected something. It is staring specifically at where Mew is hovering invisibly.
"Pika, what are you looking at?"
Uh oh…Yellow thought frantically, then try to think of something. "Um…let's go back to touring!"
"Um…okay." Red looks blankly at the girl before walking. They headed outside.
"Hey! Red!"
Blue's POV
How dare they say that I have a fashion-less taste! And just because I wasn't wearing any uniform doesn't automatically mean I'm new! Geez, I just came back from my visit home!
I really hope that that girl is alright. Her eyes are so sad; did the insults really hurt her?
I exit out from my dorm room wearing my school uniform. My phone flashes the time 4:56 pm. I got time so I decided to take a stroll. Somewhere on my stroll, I got knocked down by someone.
I smirk when I see a familiar boy on top of me.
"My my, aren't you pulling a fast one on me?"
The boy glare at me with his green eyes before getting off of me.
"Pesky girl." He replies in monotone and put his hands in his pant pockets.
"Is that how you treat a lady and a friend, Green? Especially someone who just came back?" I held out a wallet in my hands.
"How did you..." He eyes me with suspicion which I return with an innocent look.
"It dropped when you hand me pinned to the ground."
He looks anything but convinced. "You stole it from me didn't you?"
I flutter my eyes innocently. "Now why are you accusing me of something I didn't do?"
"Pesky girl." He mutters. I pretend to pout.
"That's mean!...Greenie." I smirk. That seems to have prick him as he is starting to show a little anger but it then faded away. Green snatches his wallet back from my hand.
He then walks away but not before he grabs another kid from a intersecting corridor. The black hair boy with golden eyes only chuckle back nervously as he is being dragged away.
I laugh darkly at what he didn't know. I count the money hidden behind me in my other hand. Oh Green, you left your guard down this time.
I went outside and found a familiar Redhead sitting by a cafe. I quickly went and embrace him from behind.
"Silver!" I squeal.
The latter looks surprise as he pulls me arms away to get a good look at me. It takes a good while for him to realize who I am and put on a smile.
"Sis, when did you come back?"
"Just now."
"How was the trip?"
"It was rough on the way there but everything went smooth sailing after."
"Good to hear." Silver says calmly, drinking his coffee.
"Isn't it a little too late to be drinking that?" I ask. "It's around 5 pm already."
"I'm going to need to stay awake; I find and kill Gold for trying to run away from our group assignment. I was supposed to do it with an assigned partner and unfortunately it's Gold…but as usual he disappears. How does Crystal deal with him is beyond me."
"Ah I see." I notice stares and whispers around us and I giggle.
"What?" He asks flatly.
"You're pretty popular." I tease
"All of the Dexholders are popular among the school and that includes you."
"The females aren't as well known as the guys you know."
"You still attract attention from the boy population."
"True...but not as much as what you guys are going through!" I chuckle with amusement, thinking of how the boys have to deal with fangirls gawking over them as well as stalking issues. Silver only grunted.
"I need to get to the library and start working on my project." Silver stand up to leave.
"Blue!" A voice comes from behind me. I turn around to meet my two friends.
"Hey you two."
"Where were you after that fight?!" Crystal asks. "You suddenly disappear!"
"Since I saw Red intervene, I thought I wouldn't need to anymore besides, he stops girls easier with his looks hehe." I smirk. "But Sapph, calling out your Pokémon like that sets a bad example you know."
Sapphire pouts. "Yea I know but..."
"I wonder if that girl is okay." Crystal says with concern.
"I'm sure she is!" I said, lightening up the mood then I see a familiar red cap and a Pikachu.
"Hey! Red!"
Silver's POV
I left Blue to talk with Kris and Sapphire since I saw no use in more talking since I have homework…urgh why did I have to procrastinate on it anyways? I never do that. Besides, they were going to ask how her trip went which I have already asked.
At the corner of the school I found Ruby hiding.
"What are you doing?" I ask which startles him. He hushed me.
"They keep following me!" By 'they' Ruby probably means his fangirls. I understand the feeling, except I don't get scared like he does. I simply just lose them from my tail.
"And?"
"They were stalking me all day!" Ruby whines. "It's so annoying"
I roll my eyes and begin to walk away. "Good luck with hiding."
"Don't leave me here!" He said quickly, following me. How did I ever become friends with him?
"…Go to Sapphire…she'll bite whoever that touches you." I reply coldly.
"Going to that Barbarian is even worst!"
"Sorry, but I got to get my homework done." Suddenly, Ruby's fangirls found him.
"Gah!" In the split of a second, he is on the run again.
"SILVER!" I heard girls squealing my name. Great…
Green's POV
I drag Gold into the library and scowl at him.
"What were you doing there?"
"What do you mean?" Gold asks innocently.
I shot Gold a death glare which made him shiver. "Your punishment will depend on how you word your answer."
"Fine." The boy held his hands in defeat. "I hiding from Silver but I found you hanging out with Blue."
"I was not hanging out with her." I said coldly. "I only bumped into her when I was looking for you."
"Really? You two look happy to see each other." Gold's smirk only grew wider.
"I have nothing to do with that pesky woman." I said in my usual monotone then realizing something, I look into my wallet to find...all..my money...gone.
"That thief."
"What?" Gold had a huge hear to listen in to what I have muttered. My anger is on the edge of surfacing.
"One more word out of you and you'll see the end of daylight." I threaten through grit teeth, clenching my fist. He still has that annoying smirk plastered his face.
Silver suddenly appears at the door of the library. Thank Arceus! Silver can deal with Gold. But he looks like he is hiding from someone, probably squealing girls.
"Uh oh." Gold says flatly. Silver finally notices us and glares at golden eyes boy.
"So Gold…were you trying to run away from our group project?" Silver asks with menace, as he crackle his knuckles; his bangs hiding one of his eyes. So Gold was running away from another group assignment. Typical of him to leave all the work to his group members.
"I uh…hehe…" Gold chuckles meekly.
"He was also talking about Blue." I added quietly to Silver, a smirk form on my face. Silver instantly send death glares at the boy and snatch up his shirt.
"One word out of you about Sis and you're done for." The redhead seethe.
"W-What did I say?!" Shouted struggling Gold.
"Knowing your little perverted mind, anything that comes out of that mouth is bound to be trash!"
I look at the two in amusement as they break into an argument. Silver can be too protective sometimes. He and I aren't really on good terms but at least he and I agree on something, Gold must shut his trap.
I leave with satisfaction.
Sorry if this chapter is boring...I feel like it is. :/
