Chapter 7: Together
Red sighed and looked at everyone saying "ok this is how things are going to be set up. Fluffy you'll be in the west area, third door to the left, your new teacher will be blue please be nice" Fluffy looked sad and nodded knowing that he'll be away from River. Red continued "River you'll stay with Yellow so there is no change for you" River nodded "Ember you'll be with officer jenny for citizenship in the west area first door on the left, you haven't met her yet but I think you'll get along with her. She likes fire types" Ember looked at Frost and looked at Red "Frost you'll be with green in English" Frost looked away from Ember. Red looked at Sol and said "Sol you'll be in the P.S.H.C.E with brook. The second door on the left in the west area" Sol nods and sighed.
Yellow went to the shiny umbreon then rubs behind his blue ringed ears as he feels better and smiles. Red looked at Yellow smiling and said "I have one last thing to say. This is Cheshire and he is new here" Red looks down as Cheshire is in his umbreon form and continued "Chi you and Cheshire will be with Mr Fennekin second door to the east area second door on the right. I hope you can help him feel better this will be put into Effect as of tomorrow" as he said those words the bell rang symbolising the end of the school day.
Everyone got their bags and left to head home. As usual Sol and River walked home together talking about what they find funny like jokes and about the new kid. Sol said happily "and that's where the spider ran" River shivered and giggled at the weirdly placed joke. River looked at sol and thought to herself "Sol has always been seen with a smile and never really sad. How does she remain happy like this all the time?" Sol turned and smiled as usual and said to River in her usual cheerful tone "well I best be heading home. See you tomorrow. Sol walked away and River walked to her home.
As Sol arrived home and she noticed her mother was out again. The front door leads to a hall with no stairs just a mat with a kitchen at the end of the hall and a living room to the left in the hall. She thought to herself walking to the kitchen "looks like moms is out again" she looks out the window and sees a note saying "I'll be having a night out and about. don't wait up yours faithfully your mother" Sol sighed and went to her kitchen to cook herself ramen with slices of pork, leek, boiled eggs cut in halves all mixed in a well prepared soup. Sol ate her dinner quietly thinking about what Red had said earlier and as soon as she finished, she washed the cooking equipment, her chop sticks and her bowl. It was 9:30pm and Sol went to bed and slept all night until 6am the next day, Wednesday 19th of June.
The next Morning River on her way out the front door saying "see you after school" her older brother Midnight said back "see you later. I'll be cleaning the house all day to help mom out" River replied "ok" and head off. On Rivers way she noticed Sol wasn't anywhere to be seen and looked around for her as she walked into the school. River saw Sol next to her classroom door and sat next to her.
Sol looked up and saw River and smiled saying "good Morning River. How are you?" River smiled and replied "I'm ok. How about you? You look like you didn't sleep well" Sol rubs her head and said "I went to bed at 9:30pm but I still feel tired. I might just be nervous" River said to comfort Sol "I know you'll do great in the lesson. I just know it" Sol said "well heard rumours about the teacher" as Sol was about to say the rumour Ember pounced on Sol, barely missing River, and looked at her curiously.
Sol stared at Ember and shouted "EMBER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Ember replied "showing I care" Sol crawled out and looked at him and said "please don't do that again" Ember nodded and walks to his class smiling and waves. River says to Sol "he wanted to see you happy" Sol nodded "I know. He just surprised me alot well lessons are about to start I'll see you later" River nodded and went to art. Sol said while no one was around "I don't like this. Everything, everywhere is changing so fast"
River went into the art room and sat in her usual place missing her friends and looks at Yellow, who was writing reports, noticing River looking at her then smiles and waves. Yellow went to River and said "for this lesson you can do anything as long as it's artistic" River smiled and nodded starting to draw a picture. The lesson went on for 55 minutes, the time being 9:55am, and Yellow thought it'll be a good time to have a break. She got up and told the class "ok everyone its break time, you can go outside and play around if you want. I thought it'd be a break from concentrating for so long" everyone smiled and went to the playground. When River went to the furthest corner of the playground, where no one goes, she sat quietly and stared at the sky above her thinking to herself. Without River knowing Sol walked to her and smiled saying "going to stay by yourself?" River looked up and saw Sol with Ember and Frost on the rare occasion when they don't fight each other.
River smiled and hugged all three of them saying "how are you all?" they smiled and hugged back. Sol said "we're good but lets wait until the rest arrive" River looked around as Fluffy, Chi and Cheshire walked up to them and smiled, Fluffy feeling extra nervous seeing River knowing that they won't be able to be with each other. Chi said "class finished for break today and we wanted to be with you" River kept smiling and thought to herself "I'm lucky I found really good friends like them"
Sol smiled and said what everyone was thinking "River, you do know we'll stay friends forever. No matter what happens, even when we have grown up we'll stay together. Thats what friends do" saw everyone smile more which made River feel warm inside as she was overwhelmed with joy.
Throughout the 30 minutes back, time being 10:25am as the bell rang, River and her friends had a great time playing chase with each other, River thinks Fluffy was cheating because he caught everyone the quickest but didn't mean any harm in it, and started to walk into the school saying their farewells until the next met up like that. Red who had watched them play thought to himself "seems like everything worked out for the better. They just needed to adjust to this. I wonder, Green did you see this coming?" Red looked up to see Green on the roof, as usual, watching the students proclaiming it to be apart of the teachers job.
Blue walked down the hall preparing a movie for the I.C.T class to watch on the big monitor and asked Red through the nearest window "with this what classes should be merged to watch the movie?" Red smiled and said "Yellows, yours, Officer Jenny's, Greens and Brooks class. I'll stop by to see who things are from time to time" Blue nodded and said "you always believed in togetherness that's something about you that'll never change" she walks to her classroom to set it up smiling happily. Red looked up and said "well not much time until the end of the first term. Many new things have happened. But what will happen next?" as Red said those words Green walked inside quietly as Red watched him smiling.
