Astrid held open the door, passing me a big keychain with an adorable little Eevee and a small silver key connected to it, as I walked through. Astrid smiled.
"I'll leave you two to mingle." she said, gently closing the door. 'Two?' There was someone else? I looked around, standing at the entrance of the doorway, curiously. There were four, thin beds on either side of the room with a small, slim wardrobe for each. I walked over to one of the beds and dumped my heavy bag on the floor, slinging it off of my shoulder. It was then that I noticed a small, red pokeball sat on one the neighbouring beds. Cautiously, I walked over to the bed, leaned over and went to take hold of the ball but,
"Hey! Don't touch that!" A head popped up from the other side of the bed and I leapt back, tumbling over to the ground with a loud THUD. There was a girl standing by the bed with golden-brown hair and dark blue eyes. She glared at me, taking hold of her pokeball in one hand before noticing my pain and running over to me. "Oh my gosh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you! I- I- Are you okay?!" she crouched down and helped me up. I grimaced a bit, making my way onto my feet.
"I'm fine. I'm fine." I mumbled. She looked at me awkwardly and shuffled over to her bed, which was where the pokeball had just been. There was a moments silence.
"So um... What's your name?" she finally asked. I glanced up at her.
"Me? Oh, I'm Scarlett. Scarlett Hy... Uh..." I looked around, trying to get my memory to get back into shape, soon giving up. "I can't actually remember my last name..." I felt slightly stupid, but didn't think anything of it and continued talking. "What's yours?"
"I'm Cassie. Cassie Waters." she smiled at me, blowing a long strand of hair out of her face.
"Cool name." I said.
"Thanks." then there was another silence. "So, what do you like doing? What pokemon do you have? What do you want to talk about? Cabbages? I like cabbages." I raised an eyebrow.
"Cabbages?" she blushed and sunk down.
"I'm not good with conversations." she muttered. Quietly, we both giggled, realising from just that, that we were going to be good friends. I pulled out the pokeball in my bag. She grinned, caressing her own but then realised what she was doing to it and put it on her lap. "What pokemon do you have?" I chuckled and pressed the large button on the centre of the pokeball in my hand, watching the red beam once again reveal my friend.
"Cyndaquil!" it let out a satisfying cry as I stroked its head softly. Cassie appeared as if her heart had melted.
"Oh my, it's so cute!" she exclaimed, loudly. I nodded, and another red beam of light came from over towards Cassie.
"An Azurill!" It was a cute little blue mouse pokemon, with a big black tail holding a big sphere at the tip. It gazed at me with its big, black, soft eyes.
"You got it." the Azurill walked over to my Cyndaquil and inspected it, sniffing the end of its nose making my pokemon sneeze rather loudly in its face. 'Bless you!' I thought.

After several minutes of talking and discussing I asked,
"So, where's everyone else?" she looked at me blankly and then, after a moment of thought, explained it all.
"Everyone else? It's just us. There aren't any other girls in our age group within the normal section. See, the school goes up in ranks. Normal is the lowest, and over time, you'll make your way to the top. The highest rank is split into two. One for boys, one for girls. The boys go into the ghost type group and we go into the fairy type group! Isn't it cool?"
"It's fascinating." I said.
"Did you come here by yourself? I forgot to ask." Azurill jumped onto her bed and made itself comfy. Cyndaquil couldn't get onto the bed so I had to bend down and pick him up myself.
"Oh no, no, no." I laughed. "I came with two other people. Two boys. My brother and someone else."
"IS HE YOUR BOYFRIEND?!" she asked as if she were desperate for me to say yes.
"NO!" I screeched, laughing at the same time though, partly mortified by her suggestion. Why would she even say that?
"Oh." she sighed, sticking out her bottom lip into a pout. Then she burst out in laughter and we chuckled and giggled for several minutes.

There was a loud ringing sound coming from outside the door. Presumably from a bell or something. I went pale, alarmed and unsure of what it meant.
"Time to go to sleep." Cassie said.
"What?"
"Didn't Astrid tell you?" I shook my head. "Well, I'll tell you now. When that bell goes, it means we have to go to sleep. That way, we'll be all rested up for tomorrow. And it seems that you particularly need a lot of sleep." she smiled, running off into the bathroom on the other side of the room. Quickly, she came out in her pyjamas, that seemed more like a big, pink onesie. So off I went to get changed into my cosy pyjamas, then crawling into bed with my Cyndaquil next to my head.
"But it's only like... seven at night!" I moaned sitting in my bed. My friend grabbed her clock and turned it to face me. '9:30 already? Wow, that tour took longer than I thought it did!' I thought to myself. 'I must really be losing track of time...' I sighed but then smiled, deciding not to be stubborn.
"G'night, Scar." Cassie said, flicking a light switch and putting the room into complete darkness. No one had ever called me 'Scar' before.
"Night Cassie." I whispered, closing my eyes, yawning as I did and then, I fell asleep.
