Attention: this chapter has had minor details edited.
Hello again! :D I hope your day is going well ~
So, I know I said I'd post this like next week... But I couldn't sleep so I made this chapter! 2 chapters uploaded back to back, not bad huh ;)
Here is Chapter 2. I was thinking of doing the next chapter in Gary's POV. Opinions please? :D
Happy reading!
Lindy's POV
After we finished eating we went upstairs to brush our teeth.
Now, before you go assuming we share a tooth brush, stop. See, Gary and I used to spend so much time with each other and have so many sleepovers, that our families were basically one and the same. Gary has his own tooth brush here, and some over night clothes for if he decided to sleep over. That's also why I call Professor Oak gramps. My grandparents died when I was really young, so Professor Oak was my grandparents! Well, grandparent.
"You got everything you need?" Gary asked as he rinsed the toothpaste out of his mouth.
"Mhm," I said as I spat mine out. "Mom make sure I had everything. Five times!"
"Hahaha, you're mom worries too much," he laughed.
"Ugh. I know. She's as bad as a Kangaskhan," I muttered.
"Oh she's not that bad. I doubt a Kangaskhan could make such great pancakes," he said as we went to my room so I could pack my tooth brush.
"Mmmh, I guess you're right there."
"Always am," he smirked as he hopped on my bed.
"Uugh! Okay, no you're not."
"Totally am."
"You can't be always right, because you don't know everything smart ass," I stated.
"As a matter of fact, I do."
"Oh yeah?" I turned right around to look him in the eye. "Then tell me what I'm thinking right now," I challenged.
"Easy. You're thinking about how handsome and good looking I am," he said smugly.
"Ugh! In your dreams!" I groaned.
"Well, baby, don't wake me up."
Even though I know he was just being a jerk, I couldn't help but get a shiver when he called me baby. Or maybe he was just saying baby. Either way, it just sounded... a certain way when he said it. I can't describe it.
"You're impossible, I swear," I sighed, as I turned back to my backpack.
"Why, thank you."
I didn't even need to look to know he had a smirk on. I grabbed my bag. "Grah! Whatever! I'm done now so let's just go," I grumbled as I stomped out of my room, nearly plowing Gary over.
"Hey hey! Easy their Primeape," he joked as we walked down the stairs.
"I am NOT a Primeape!" I growled, as I sat down to put my brown boots on.
"Whatever you say Lindy," he laughed, putting on his boots as well.
I just rolled my eyes at him, tired of going back and forth. I swung my bag over my shoulder. "Mooom! We're leaving now!" I called to her.
"Alright honey! I'll be sure I'm there to see you two off!" she called back.
"Okaaay. See ya later," I replied as Gary and I stepped outside.
"I'm surprised she didn't rush out with a camera," Gary laughed as we started walking up the road to the lab.
"Nah there's no way she'd do that."
"You're right. She's probably going to do it right before you leave," he snickered.
"... You... You don't think she really will do you?" I gasped.
"Hahaha! Probably!"
"Shiiiitttt," I groaned. Gary just snickered and laughed. "Don't laugh at my pain!" I snapped.
"You're right, you're right. It's not kind to laugh at the less fortunate," he said smirking at me.
"Gary Oak. You are getting on my last nerve," I growled.
"Okay, okay. Chill, geeez. Not my fault you can't just dress like a girl so you don't have to run from cameras."
"..." I was silent. I couldn't believe he just said that. Well actually I could. Gary being nice was bound to end sooner or later like always. "Well last time I tried to dress like a girl it didn't exactly go well."
"Huh? When was this?" Gary asked, sounding genuinely confused. "What happened?"
"I got called an ugly Jinx." I said coldly.
"Whaa-... Oh." Gary said. His memory seeming to be jogged.
Gary had always had good looks. That had never been a secret. Most of the girls in class, well more like the whole school, had a crush on him.
It was about 2 months after our fight. I didn't want to be noticed, so I wore less colourful clothes. I just tried to go unnoticed. I couldn't really... be girly, so I did the next best thing. I stayed quiet and tried to be polite.
It was our schools Christmas concert. All the classes were going to sing 2 songs each, and wait in their classrooms until then. Mom had trouble finding us a parking spot because she had spent so much time getting ready as if she was the one going on stage, so I was the last one in the classroom. Everyone was all dressed up in pretty dresses and tuxedos.
I spotted Gary instantly. (It's never hard to, I mean have you seen his hair? Only thing that could attract more attention to it is if it was neon pink. And the fact that all the girls were around him helped...) He had on black dress pants, a white shirt with a dark burgundy vest over it and nice shiny black dress shoes. He looked so handsome.
"Ahh glad you made it Lindy!" Ms. Pepperdine greeting me a little to loud, causing the class to look at me. I felt my face heat up as Gary turned my way also.
"Y-yeah. My mom h-had trouble finding a-a parking space, sorry..." I told.
"Oh that's fine, we still have a while before we go on anyway," Ms. Pepperdine say cheerfully. "And you look so cute in your dress Lindy!"
I was in a wine coloured, bubble bottom dress that was pulled in at the bottom with a ribbon. It had a tank top style top that then puffed out, a pale pink sash separating the top from the bottom. I had on white stockings that went just above my knee, and petal pink flats with white pompoms on them.
"O-oh. Thank you Ms. Pepperdine," I stammered as I fiddled with a lock of my lavender hair that mom had curled at the ends
Ms. Pepperdine gave me a warm smiled and took a step outside the classroom to help direct a parent to the gymnasium.
"Lindy."
I turned around to see Gary. He's really does look good, I thought. "H-hi Gary."
He dug out a little blue box with a white ribbon tied around it from his pocket. "H-here," he said as he handed it to me.
I looked at the pretty little box as a took it carefully. "What's this?" I asked.
"It's your Christmas gift obviously! I picked it out myself," he said proudly with a smile, but then his smile dropped a bit. "I can't make it to the Christmas dinner this year... Grandma on dad's side of the family is sick so me and dad are going to visit her since she can't come down..."
"Oh... I'm sorry Gary..." I said sadly. His grandma had been getting sick a lot the past few years. Mom said she's getting really old. "Well since you can't come do you want me to give you your –"
"Heeey Gary!" Tom said as he, John and Sara walked over to greet Gary. I quickly hid my gift from Gary behind me.
"What are you doing over here?" Sara sneered at me.
"Yeah, man? Don't you know loser germs are contagious?" John laughed. I looked down at my feet, trying to glare a whole into the floor.
"Forget the loser germs, I don't want her ugliness to get on Gary!" Sara whined. "She looks like an ugly Jinx!" They all busted out into laughter.
"She even has the right colours!" John snickered.
I stayed silent as Gary forced a laugh. Why Gary...? I asked myself.
"Come on let's go!" Sara said as she grabbed Gary's arm.
"Yeah, a Pokémon like that isn't even worth catching," Tom laughed as they went over with the other kids.
"..." I didn't say anything, I just blinked away the tears. I watched Gary get dragged away. He didn't even look back.
"Yeah," I said bitterly.
I heard Gary stop walking. "Lindy I-... Oh, never mind," he grumbled.
"What?" I asked.
"I said never mind!" he snapped. Then he walked briskly on ahead of me.
We walked in silence the rest of the way, Gary a few paces in front of me. I kept my eyes focused on the dirt road.
Stupid Gary... I thought to myself. Why can't you ever say what you're thinking?
*Sigh* Boys. So complicated aren't they? :P
In the next chapter they will get their Pokémon and set off!
Again, should I make the next chapter in Gary's POV..?
Please, pleaaase tell me. I don't want to start writing it until I know, because it's such a pain to go back and change everything :c
