Disclaimer: I don't own the Pokémon Adventures manga or any of its characters. I do own Aurora and the cover.

The next three hours seemed to fly by after the events of first hour. My eyes bored holes in the clock, waiting for the lunch bell to ring. My stomach growled expectantly. 'Only one more minute…' Those short moments waiting for the end of class always seemed the longest. A horrible dull ring never sounded so heavenly. As if I were spring loaded, I shot up from my seat and fast walked in the direction of the lunchroom. My legs went into auto-pilot and I was at my table without really thinking about it.

As I was pulling my lunch out, Blue threw her backpack next to the seat across from me.

"Be right back. Gonna grab some food."

"Kay." I replied.

I sat and ate in silence for a while, lost in my own world of thought. Should I tell Blue about what happened today? I mean, it's a pretty big deal, at least for me. But she'll make a bigger deal out of it than is necessary. Ugh, Blue, I love her, but sometimes I just wish she would turn it down a few notches sometimes. Besides, I'm pretty sure she'll figure it out somehow if I don't confide in her. When I had reached my decision, the girl walked up as if on cue.

"Hey." She greeted.

"Hi…" I started hesitantly.

"What happened?" Blue gave me 'the look'. When I say she can be like a sister in not-so-enjoyable ways, this is what I mean. This girl has a radar in her head, I swear. I can sense pain, she can sense love. Not really, but sometimes it sure feels like it.

"Well…" My face turned red when I recalled this morning's events. The senior's giggling didn't really help either. "… In first hour, we were assigned a partner project…"

"You didn't, no, you did!" Blue already knew what I was about to say. Her voice was getting dangerously loud.

"Shhh, people are starting to look!" I hissed at her.

"Ok, ok fine. I'll be quiet. Just tell me everything."

"I got partnered with Silver, and uh, I talked to him." I couldn't continue my speech when I saw the look of pure disbelief cross Blue's face.

"Aurora Herz, I am proud of you!" I blushed and groaned at her compliment. "Seriously, I know that's hard for you to do, talking to your crush." The girl beamed proudly at me and I couldn't help but smile back at her.

"If you think that was good, you won't believe what happened next." I continued. My best friend's eyes widened a bit that there could be something more, possibly even more interesting than the first surprise. She held eye contact, curiously waiting for me to continue.

"I got his number. But just for the project, not for anything else, before you jump to conclusions!" Blue's jaw dropped anime style.

"You're kidding, right?" I shook my head. To prove my point, I tapped a few things on my phone and brought up his contact. I triumphantly displayed the numbers to her as if it were an award of sorts. As I took the phone away, a smirking Blue came into my vision. 'Uh oh'. "Aurora, you sly Growlithe." The brunette ruffled my hair and chuckled. I giggled a bit and batted her hand away.

My face lit up like a Christmas tree, remembering one last detail I left out of the tale of first hour. "There's one more thing I should probably tell you about…" I explained what happened up until when our hands brushed. "Then, he handed it to me and I reached out a little too far, and… our hands brushed." My heart fluttered as I recalled the brief but powerful contact of our skin. 'DADDY!' The word flashed through my mind again.

"Oh, you're so adorable!" Blue gushed. I rolled my eyes. That word… it was… unsettling. It was definitely a little kid, and he certainly didn't seem happy. It really had me intrigued to what lied beneath that punk façade of Silver.

"So, how'd it feel, touching his hand?" Blue leaned close to me and cupped her chin with her hand. A wide smirk was painted on her face as she watched the color rise to my cheeks.

"Blue!" I squealed. The girl laughed and leaned back into her seat.

"I'm just teasing."

After recovering from the embarrassment, I was the one to wear a cocky smirk.

"So, how's Green?" The brunette sighed.

"Still the same hedgehog he is." The girl's deep sapphire orbs lazily hovered to where said dingus was sitting.

"Too bad, you guys would look cute together." I followed her gaze as I imagined them as a couple. I don't know what it is, they both like each other (at least I think so), and they have great chemistry. I think Green is just scared he'll get rejected or something because, well, Blue projects her feelings a little… differently. She plays hard to get, you could say.

"So, did you hear the big news?" Blue all of the sudden got very excited.

I swallowed some food. "No, what is it?" The only reason she would get this excited is if one of her OTPs got together.

"Red finally asked Yellow out! With a little encouragement from moi of course." The brunette stated proudly.

Specialshipping happened to be one of my OTPs as well as Blue's.

"Oh my gosh! Finally! Those two have liked each other forever!" I squealed in happiness at the two.

"I know, right! I'm so happy for them!" Blue clapped her hands together. "If only I could work my magic on my stubborn cousin." Blue winked at me and I blushed slightly.

The rest of the lunch passed by with small talk and complaining about unsuccessful OTPs. The once sweet sounding bell played again, this time sounding like an annoying siren. I packed my lunch away and both of us stood up.

"Good luck on your science test today!" I said over my shoulder as I began towards my class.

"Thanks! I'm gonna faaaaaiiilll!" She skipped away towards Green, whom she had class with next. I shook my head at her antics and started the lonely walk towards 5th hour. I wasn't sad, however, since I needed some time to think.

'That word… It's haunting me.' The piercing shriek resonated through my head once more, sending chills down my spine. 'What happened, Silver?'
