The prompt used for this one shot is Gray.
Gray or Gary?
Four year old Gary Oak huffed angrily as he sent the woman, who was supposed to be his school teacher for this year, a dark look. The adult in question ignored the four year olds anger and just gave him a kind smile.
"It is alright dear, I know it is a bit tricky to spell certain words," the teacher, Ms. Apple, said kindly which only made Gary more angry, "Why don't we try again? After all practice makes perfect."
"But I spelt my name right! Gary said as he stomped his foot in anger, "Grandpa taught me how! I know it is right! My name is Gary not Gray!"
"Now now child there is no need to get so upset about it," Ms. Apple tutted as she shook her head at the child's temper, "This would not be the first time I had a child in my class who has the same name as a colour, why I remember a child called Red, and another one called Blue...oh and I do remember hearing about another child called Yellow."
"Well good for them but my name is not a colour!" Gary replied as he tried to keep his anger in check, "My name means gentle, modest and brave! Not some sort of colour that can't pick if its white or black!"
"Ms. Apple?" a four year old Ash Ketchum said softly from his spot next to Gary, "His right...did the register make a mistake again with our names?"
"Quiet Ashley," Ms. Apple snapped out causing Gary and Ash to send each other feed up looks, "The register is always right! It is an official document!"
With a depressed sigh Gary sent Ash a pointed look as he motioned to the door of the classroom where they knew an adult would be wandering around to make sure no student tried to get out of class, maybe the adult on duty would be able to help them with Ms. Apple...it would not be the first time.
Seeing his friends look, one that he knew well, Ash nodded his head and prepared for the task at hand, why Ms. Apple could not just accept the mistakes and learn from them Ash would never knew. Even at the age of four he and Gary knew this so why didn't Ms. Apple, who was an adult know this? Shaking the thoughts out of his mind Ash turned his attention back to Ms. Apple and waited for an opening to get help.
Until the next prompt...
