NEVERMORE
~Part One Of Forever Trilogy~
Chapter 4
School
Apparently, I was too smart to go to regular school. Or maybe I was too 'good'. I would be going to a 'special' high school in Jubilife City. The school not only taught what normal schools do, but how to live life without dealing with Pokemon in any shape or form. Lucky for me, Viola goes there, too. So I wouldn't be too alone. We had to wear uniforms. Even better. What could go wrong? Let me edit that. What wouldn't go wrong?
I was going to die.
Summer had gone by fast. Pikachu had grown on me. He seemed to like me too. So, much due to Viola convincing me, I decided to keep him. I named him Raiden. I wished summer would have lasted longer. But fall was here and that meant the dreaded school. Hopefully there wouldn't be too many snobs.
I got stared at when I walked in with Viola. For the love of Arceus, that was making me mad. Sheesh. Yes, I'm new. Just go ahead and stare at the new girl. Snobby freaks.
"They're not all bad," Viola told me. "My friends are pretty cool."
I sure hoped so. The whole entire time I was worried that Raiden was sneaking around and getting into trouble. I'd be screwed if my parents found him. They'd probably turn me into the police. Some family they are.
I suffered through the first few classes, relieved when lunch time came. I nearly ran all the way to the cafeteria. At least the food looked good. Better than the gruel I was used to. My old school was a piece of crap.
"Whoa, Topaz," said Viola as she caught up with me. "Slow down!"
"Yeah, whatever," I said, taking what I wanted from the line. "Where's our table?"
"Follow me," she said.
She lead me all the way to the back of the caf, where a lone table was with only a few other kids sitting there. This was a mismatched lot. There was a boy with spiky blue hair and orange eyes, another boy with black hair, blue eyes, and really weird hat. The only other girl had long auburn hair and green eyes who looked younger than everyone else.
"Hey, guys," said Viola. "This is Topaz. She's new."
"Hiya Topaz!" chirped the boy with the weird hat that looked really old. "I'm Rubin!"
"I'm Plato," said the boy with the blue spiky hair. "Nice to meet ya."
"And I'm Jade," said the girl.
"Hi," I said, sitting down. I noticed Rubin was reading a magazine of some sorts. "Whatcha looking at?" I asked him.
"It's supposed to be a secret," he whispered, showing me the cover. It was a copy of Today's Top Coordinator. Huh. I thought they were discontinued. 'Cause being a Pokemon trainer is evil. Even one who doesn't even battle.
"Wow!" I whispered back. "Where'd you get it?"
He grinned mischievously. "I don't just get 'em. My family makes 'em."
I gasped.
Plato rolled his eyes. "There you go braggin' again, Rubin."
"But it's true!" he protested. "You see, on my mom's side of the family, I'm related to Ruby and Sapphire!"
"Keep it down!" Viola hissed.
Rubin winced. "Sorry."
"Is that where you get the hat?" I asked.
He nodded. "Yup! It's really the one Ruby wore!"
I opened my mouth to reply, but I stopped. All my friends when rigid. Rubin ducked his head. Jade scooted closer Viola. Plato scowled and Viola raised her eyebrow. How does she do that?
"I'm here to talk to the New Girl, freaks."
Yes, I'm still accepting OCs!
Also, what should Viola, Rubin, Plato, and Jade get as their first pokemon? doesn't have to be a starter!
