Chapter 13

Violet's View

The next day I found myself walking along the street with Braixen by my side and my bag of belongings on my back. We planned on leaving just after meeting Kale's friends so all our stuff was packed and the keys for the room was handed over.

I was excited to meet Kale's friends, since he never speaks about them when he's with me. It makes sense I guess since I don't really talk about my friends around him. It just feels weird talking about one friend to another.

Kale seemed loads more excited than I was feeling though. He lead the way for Braixen and myself. His mood seemed so much better than the whole time spent in this town, well, except for a few moments...

We were close to the café where Kale said they would be waiting. I felt nervousness bubbling in my stomach and wild thoughts cropped up in my head. What if they don't like me? What if Kale leaves me to go with them? What if they challenge me but I lose? I shook them out of my head, focusing on my walking and the corner we were taking.

The café came into sight when I rounded the corner. It looked quite nice, with potted plants lining the sides and little white chairs and tables stood outside. I caught a whiff of coffee in the air. My mouth started watering from the delicious taste, and I decided that when we sit down, I'll order a cup.

Kale lead me to the furthest side of the café where sat three boys, all about our age. (1) One sat looking at the other two while they chatted and laughed. He had dark spiky hair and a blue hoodie unzipped to reveal a shirt and a sliver cross necklace that I could see glittering in the sun-light. (2) Another had blue jeans and an orange shirt with strange wrist cuffs around his arms. A Lucario over-coat was on the back of his chair. (3) The last one and dirty blonde hair that looked like he hadn't combed it and was laughing loudly at some comment he had just made. A cup of coffee stood steaming in front of each of them.

Kale approached them with a huge grin on his face. Stepping up to their table, all their eyes turned to him.

"Dude, finally!" the one with the wrist cuffs spoke happily.

The one with the messy hair stood up and clapped Kale's shoulder. "No time, no see, my friend."

Kale chuckled. "Two weeks hardly seems that long to me."

"Maybe because you've been with her," the one with messy hair suddenly pointed to me and I felt all my nerves freeze.

Kale rolled his eyes and came to stand next to me. "Guys this is Violet. Violet this is guys." he gestured with his arm to include them three.

Messy hair scrambled up to me and hold out his hand for me to shake it. "I'm Alex. Finally nice to meet you. This one," he pointed his thumb at Kale. "talks non-stop about you."

"Don't do that Alex, Kale will kill you." wrist cuffs warned him.

Alex gave him an innocent look. "Whatever are you talking about my dear Victor?"

He rolled his eyes before looking at me. "My name's Victor. And just ignore Alex over here. He's got something wrong with his head and can't keep his thoughts to himself." he said in a joking manner.

Alex whined in protest and began a senseless argument.

"I'm also Victor but just call me Vic." the last one with the dark hair spoke. All eyes turned to him when he spoke.

"Yes, they both have the same names. Weird isn't it?" Alex said, completely dropping his argument with Victor. "But he just call him Vic so we don't get confused. Oh and fun fact, Vic rarely speaks so you just witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime sight!" he stated happily.

"You should brush that." I suddenly said, not really meaning to.

He gave me a funny look. "What do you mean?"

"Your hair. You didn't brush it. And it looks bad." I stated. By now the rest were silent.

He laughed and ran his fingers through his hair. "I should but I really don't like to."

"Why not?" why was I still speaking? They probably think I'm some hair-freak now!

Alex shrugged. "Too much effort. I think I should just cut it really short so I don't have to worry anymore. Besides," he winked "women are better with hair than men."

"Guys, why don't we sit down before chatting about hair habits so our legs don't get tired." Victor suggested.

"Hang on," I said. I turned around to face Braixen, who was watching the boys with a strange expression on his face. "I'm not sure that you'll like just sitting around, so would you like at go explore by yourself for a while? I'll be waiting right here for you."

He looked out across the street before looking back at me and nodding. A smile splayed across my face and I ruffled his fur before sending him off on his way. I had the uttermost confidence that he will be safe and wouldn't do anything wrong. I trusted my Pokemon to handle themselves.

We all took some seats around the table and started talking about random things. It went much better than I thought it would and over-all I enjoyed myself.

They are all really nice and fun to be around. So far I've gathered that Alex was the joker of the group, Victor was the not-too-bright-but-very-loyal one and Vic was the silent one- barely uttering a word besides his introduction.

Kale also enjoyed himself, laughing as they recalled past stories as a group and shared them with me.

I've reached a decision, boys are easier to make friends with than girls- where one has to keep up appearances, speak appropriately and act a certain way before becoming friends. Boys were much simpler.

"Hey Violet," Alex said to me after they had told me about the time Kale had dared Victor to jump in a river and he had but didn't realise that the river was home to an angry Octillery.

I turned to face him, sipping on my honey tea- since Kale wouldn't allow me to drink any caffeine while travelling. He was so protective and considerate to such small little things.

"Can you come with us for a second?" he asked.

I arched a brow but stood up anyway. "I'll be back in a few." I said to Kale before walking away with Alex. He wasn't as tall as Kale, I noted. He was only about an inch taller than me, maybe less. "So what's up?" I asked when we were a distance away. I noticed Vic also walking up to us.

Alex ran a hand through his hair and I resisted the urge to fix it for him. I don't know, maybe I was a hair freak.

"So we kinda had this idea but now we need to ask your permission first." he said. A strange smile coated his expression.

"What do you mean?" I asked. I shifted my weight between my two feet.

"We want to travel with Kale again." Vic spoke. I turned my gaze to look at him. For the first time that day, I noticed the scar on his neck. It must have really hurt to get one like that.

"But we know that he wants to travel with you, so maybe we could all go together." Alex quickly reassured me. I breathed out the breath I didn't realise I've be holding. "So do you mind if we tag along for a while with you guys? I promise we won't listen at night." he winked.

I felt my face grow hot from his statement. "I won't mind, and we don't have that kind of relationship."

He lifted his eyebrow and a smile appeared on his lips. "Oh? So then what kind of relationship do you have?"

"Alex, don't." Vic told him in a quiet voice.

Alex shrugged. "I'm sure it'll happen anyway."

"Are we going to tell Kale?" I asked, trying to move on to a different topic. My face was still quite warm and my mind was filling with weird thoughts. What kind of relationship do Kale and I have? We've only kissed once, and that was only yesterday. Do I want a better relationship with him? Do I want one at all? How do I even feel about Kale?

"Earth to Violet." Alex waved his hand by my face. "Do you always get lost in thought like that?"

I was brought out of my trance by his voice. "No, not really." I smiled at him.

"Okay, so let's go tell him the good news."

Ocs goes as follows:

(1) Vic- oc of Sparda17

(2) Victor- oc of Wildian
