I'm still kinda sick, but I went to school anyway. My nose is stuffed up, my voice sounds funny, and I think I might have an ear infection 'cuz my ear's all stuffed up now too.

I own nothing except the brunnette who wears purple.

SAPPHIRE'S POV

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I groaned and shoved my head under my pillow. No one made the move to stop the incessant beeping.

"Crystal!" Blue whined from across the room.

"Turn it off!" she screamed. Crystal was still facing the wall as she reached out blindly to turn off the alarm clock. She couldn't hit the button, but she did manage to knock it over.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

All three of us groaned.

I carefully swung my legs over the bunk bed and hopped to the floor. I slapped the off button and screamed, "Get up!" Yellow, Crystal, and Blue all shot up from their beds and scrambled to the floor.

Crystal swiftly picked up her alarm clock and cradled it in her arms. "You killed it!" she exclaimed.

Blue shot the alarm clock a glare. "Sapphire did the right thing. It didn't deserve to live." Yellow giggled at them. The room stayed very quiet as we all looked at each other.

"I call the bathroom!" Blue announced and sprinted into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. Yellow, Crystal, and I plopped onto the two bottom bunks and waited for Blue to finish. I heard the shower start up.

"Don't start singing in there!" Crystal shouted at the bathroom door.

Blue responded with a simple, "La la la la la la la la la!"

"Smartass…" Crystal muttered.

"I heard that!" Blue shouted.

Crystal's eyes widened in shock. Yellow and I started laughing hysterically.

Blue and I walked down the hallway towards the chemistry.

She was rambling on about Green being her lab partner. "Who's your partner?"

I shrugged and looked at my schedule. "Ruby."

I stopped in my tracks and looked at the schedule again. "Ruby? Awww man!" Blue burst into laughter and kept giggling as we entered the classroom. Ruby was turned around and talking to Green when we got there.

Blue sat next to Green and smiled. "Hey Green~."

Green squeezed his eyes shut and turned his head towards her. He peeked for a second and groaned automatically. "Hey lab partner." he said through clenched teeth. She gave him a mischievous smile and he rolled his eyes.

"Arceus save me." he muttered. I clumsily fell into my seat next to Ruby and banged my head into the table.

"Are you okay?" Blue asked.

I rubbed the back of my head. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Klutz." Ruby muttered.

I shot him glare. "Excuse me?" Blue and Green started laughing behind their hands.

He patted my head like I was a Lillipup. "Nothing." he said sarcastically. I punched him in the arm–hard, knocking him out of his chair. He crashed onto the floor and glared up at me.

I laughed. "Klutz!"

He rolled his eyes and climbed back into his chair as Professor Ivy came into the classroom. His hat was on an angle from the fall, revealing some of his black hair. I stared at it skeptically. I'd never seen his hair before, except for the little bit that came out of the bottom of his hat.

He must've felt my gaze, because he turned his head to look at me. "What?" he mouthed, making sure Professor Ivy didn't see us talking. She turned her back to write on the chalkboard, leaving Ruby to stare at me. He followed my gaze up to his head. His eyes widened as he quickly adjusted the hat to cover his head once again.

"Lemme see." I mouthed. He shook his head and stared back at the chalkboard. I stuck my tongue out at the side of his head and I saw the corner of his lips turn upwards. I smiled in satisfaction and faced the chalkboard again.

CRYSTAL'S POV

I walked down the hallway towards my history class, notebook in hand. The history classroom was on the other side of the school, so it took some time to get there.

"Hey! Super Serious Gal!" I cringed at his voice.

Gold ran up to me, a goofy grin plastered on his face. "Where're you going?"

"History class."

'Please don't have history class. PLEASE don't have history class!'

"No way! Me too!"

"Yay." I said sarcastically.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "It's good to know you're so excited to be with me."

I smacked his hand away. "Don't touch me."

He held his hands up in defense. "Sheesh! Sorry Crys." I rolled my eyes and walked into the history classroom. I chose a seat in the second row and sat my stuff on the desk. Gold, of course, sat right next to me.

"So, come here often?" he asked.

"It's school, you idiot. No duh."

He nodded. "Interesting." His eyes slowly floated towards the door. I followed his gaze and instantly felt irritated.

A girl with short dark brown hair in a cute lilac sundress entered the classroom. She gave Gold a flirty wink before sitting in the desk behind him. An impish grin sprouted on his face as he looked at the girl. She was searching for something in her backpack.

I flicked him in the head. "Don't stare. It's rude."

He rubbed the side of his head and smirked. "Someone's jealous." he muttered.

"Jealous of what?" I asked.

"You're jealous because I stopped paying attention to you." My face felt like it was on fire.

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

Our history teacher entered the room. "Good morning class. I am Dr. Roberts, in case you don't know. We will start this year off with studying the history of the Orange Islands." He began writing notes on the chalkboard.

"Am not." I whispered while I wrote in my notebook.

"Are too."

The rest of the class was spent writing notes and whisper-fighting with Gold about how I was not jealous.

YELLOW'S POV

My first class of the day was math. None of the girls had math with me, so I walked towards the classroom alone. It didn't take very long to find the room. The desks were arranged in pairs. I walked up to the bulletin board that Ms. Mackantee always posted the seating chart on. I had a seat next to the window on the end of the middle row.

I looked to see who my seatmate was, and I froze. 'Red is my seatmate? Crap! No no no no no no NO!' I sighed and walked towards my desk. I'm a naturally quiet person, so I wasn't thrilled to sit next to Red of all people. It wasn't that I didn't like him or anything. I guess you could say I had a crush on him. Sometimes I couldn't talk to him without stuttering. I saw him walk into the classroom and head towards the bulletin board.

I laid my head on my desk and lightly sighed in frustration. 'I'm going to make a complete fool out of myself.'

Red walked over to me and plopped into his seat. "Hey Yellow! We're seatmates! Isn't that awesome?"

I lifted my head and smiled nervously. "Yup." I said, eyes glued to my orange notebook.

"Are you okay?"

I looked at him. His red eyes were filled with concern. I gave him a fake smile. "I'm fine."

"No, you're not."

"Yes, I–"

"I know when your smiles are fake, Yellow."

My eyes widened. He caught me. "I'm just, y'know, tired."

His eyes searched my face. "Okay…" he said skeptically.

"If something's wrong, you can tell me. We're best friends." I found myself nodding.

'We're best friends.'

I included all four shippings in this chapter! Sorry this was a day late guys. Please review anyway!
