Thoughts are in Italics an in 'apostrophes'
Sorry if this chapter does not impress it is my first story I'll be checking reviews to spice things up a little and make a better story, I promise.
*POV of Mei*
"Mei, Mei!" Shouted Erin. She ran over to me at the bus stop, it was raining heavily; I was wearing a raincoat that protected my acorn colour hair, which was in a French braid. The mini-windshield covered my grassy green eyes and my other facial features. Erin was now following a Candice trend (because we live in THE Sinnoh region) so she wore a copy of the gym leaders dress and because it was raining she was wearing an ice designed coat. She's also a blonde. "So" she began with a smirk on her face. "Are you excited?"
"I guess so." Mei muttered trying to sound cool and collected, but inside I was shrieking like an excited 6 year old girl. I let out a little shriek before the bus came.
"Bus is here." I pointed out stating the obvious.
"Let's go, Mei this is our last day of school can you believe it?" Erin asked looking for a serious answer.
"Well I can't believe out of all the girl groups Luke decided to join ours. I know we've been childhood friends and got separated, it was just dumb luck we ended up in the same school, in the same class." I said trying to hide a small blush that disappeared as quickly as it came.
"You're wrong that's a little something known as fate!" Erin said with arrogance in her tone, failing to sound all wise and mighty.
"Maybe, but nothing is going to happen between us, beside if something was I'd have the number one spot on how many girls hit lists?!" I replied with sarcasm, seriousness and fear knowing how tough those girls could get!
The memories, the memories!
"Hey Erin, Mei." A familiar soothing voice called out. It was Luke. Luke was a well built, average height guy. He had brown hair that was risen up in spikes; they looked extra dangerous and soft at the same time. It was weird but unfortunately all that and the fact that he's super smart makes him the girl's attraction monument. Basically wherever Luke goes there's a horde of like 10 girls following him; it kind of makes it hard to talk to him, which is why I had my doubts letting him join our journey.
"So when we get to school, will you tell me your starter Pokémon, I've told you that mine is Chimchar, Erin's one is a turtwig, so that means yours is a piplup." A grin grew on his face. "I knew it; you've always talked about getting your people, just like your dad when he went on his journey."
I suddenly burst into tears. Lucky for me we had just arrived at school and I sprinted out of the bus, I didn't care where I was going I just had to get away.
*POV of Luke*
"Mei, Mei, I'm sorry, I forgot about your dad's accident please forgive me, MEI!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. It was no use. I hung my head down low feeling ashamed and disappointed. I've upset Mei before and her same but only for a short time, in fact the longest we've been mad at each other was for 12 minutes. I felt incredibly stupid that day but now words can't describe how bad I felt.
"Erin any ideas on where she went?" I asked. She shook her head negatively.
I sighed, Mei never took her father's death easily he died 5 years ago when she was 7 turning 8, Yep on her birthday.
He had been trying to get her a piplup, Mei's favourite Pokémon, but on his way back he was caught up in an explosion.
She confided in me first and I promised to never bring it up I had just broke that promise.
"Hey Erin." I began breaking the silence. "Try checking the girls' bathroom, she'll go into a room she knows I can't enter."
"Alright I'll try but what should I do when I find her?" Erin questioned.
"Talk to her and apologize for me and tell her I wanna talk afterwards." I answered.
Ring, Ring, Ring
It was lunch time; we had spent four hours trying to find Mei.
"Uh oh" Erin and I said at the same time. We were totally busted.
"Let's just find Mei as quickly as possible." I ordered hastily.
"Got it, find Mei ASAP and lie to professor Juniper about our tardiness." Erin replied with a smirk.
We split up running in different directions.
*POV of Erin*
'DAMN THAT LUKE! I see why Mei had doubts, or am I misinterpreting things? Anyway I'm pissed off and we may have to reconsider letting him join the group on our journey although it may be too late. Today is the day of the journey Mei's birthday, were leaving after school to my uncle's hotel maybe if-'
"Ow why don't you watch where you're going... Erin?" said a voice I was glad to hear.
"MEI, MEI!" I shouted before hugging her like a Milotic using wrap and then dragging her to a bench.
"What happened, tell me everything." I inquired trying to act as though I didn't know. It was bad enough Luke messed up with the remark; he didn't need any more trouble by her knowing he told me the secret.
"Erin I trusted him with my secret, the most painful thing in my life, he promised to keep it and he blurts it out like it's an everyday conversation." Mei blurted out before breaking into another sob. "I mean he's supposed to be my close friend. How could he do this to me?"
"You can trust me Mei, I'm your best friend you can tell me can't you?!" I asked hoping for my best friend to trust me.
"You're right."
She told me the exact same story I heard from Luke and that's when he emerged from wherever he was hiding.
*POV of Mei*
'Luke then told me word for word how sorry he was, but I had heard it all before you'd think someone like him would care.
Wait a minute, I'm so selfish. This whole thing started because I was so scared of the rejection I would get from my classmates when I told everyone I got an eevee which isn't even a starter Pokémon of the Sinnoh region.'
I cried again.
"Fine I got an eevee as my starter Pokémon and I didn't want that diva bitch Bella knowing especially since that eevee has fur the colour of my hair and the same eye colour. I knew she would make fun of me. Plus she's the most determined of the girls to make you hers and face it man you get trapped in her webs easier than a Yanma to a Galvantula's web.
He sighed. Blushing.
I scowled and scoffed. 'Maybe I was jealous was I? It didn't matter.'
"Well I guess so!" He said blushing an even deeper shade of red.
"Well now you know so can you leave it until our journey, ok." I replied coldly.
"Of course, now we gotta go to class it's already last lesson." Luke reminded me.
(Now at class)
"Well, well, well if it isn't Mei and her reject wannabe eevee!" mocked the preppy voice of Bella.
Anger coursed through my veins. My star shaped birthmark glowing a mysterious colour with a blinding sight. I broke the door, literally ripping it off it's hinges. I ran to the corridor and that's when something amazing happened.
