Chapter 12: First Day
I heard an annoying sound, which came from a red alarm clock, that was standing (more like trembling) on the side table of Hex's bed. I opened my eyes but immediately pulled my sheet over them since the lamp automatically illuminated the whole room. Two foots made a loud noise when touching the ground, and I assumed that had been Hex. He tied his shoes and
"Come on, peeps. Time to get up. You don't wanna be la… Oh wait, you still have to continue your tour right?" Hex asked, probably looking at either me with a drapery wrapped around, or Fieritis. "I wish I had taken the opportunity to tour somebody, than I shouldn't go to class… Of course, I can't complain! Well, I'm going down to the canteen. See you later" he said with what sounded like a little disappointment, or jealousy. He smacked the door, (I think, I still had a my sheet pulled over my head,) without waiting for us to react, but that was just good for him, we wouldn't really say anything besides mumbling and moaning because of the bright light. I decided to stand up, though that was quite difficult because I could barely see where everything was and I nearly clashed my head against the upper bed. Vaguely I saw Fieritis' gesture, covering his head with a pillow. I changed my outfit back to my normal clothes and sat back down on my bed (after once again almost bumping my head) and started tying my shoes. I felt limp from waking up, my fingers were cold but I atleast started to get used to the light now. I looked back at Fieritis and saw him now putting on his usual green shirt. I stood up, and staggered towards the desk. I sat down on the old chair and looked outside the window. Most of the apprentices were already outside. I saw Scarlett waiting outside for belike her brother and me. Next to her was a blonde girl, wearing a blue skirt and a dark pink shirt. On the bench nearby the fountain sat a boy I knew I had seen before, the young person with his Pokémon Riolu, or Astrid's friend Wolf. He was surrounded by a few friends and seemed happy about something. Just when I made that observation, a familiar boy walked across the courtyard trying to attract the attention of Scarlett and the other girl. He waved at them, yelling something. Hex was already outside. He gestured something that will've had to do with Fieritis and me, and led the two girls to the canteen. I turned around and suddenly startled, Fieritis stood behind me.
"Come on, let's go. Not wasting time here." He said.
I replied: "Let me grab my key." I opened the lower drawer by my left leg and took out the key with the gas Pokémon, Gastly.
"Hurry up, I don't wanna be late. Astrid must be waiting for us." He opened the door and walked out without closing the door. I did the same, only this time locking the door with my key. In the corridor with the three Slakoth-line doors was a small window. The suns light alleviated the corridor and the Slakoth door opened. A small boy came out. I estimated him around 10 years and he looked at my with a surprised look on his face. I didn't want the situation to be awkward so I tried to be casual.
"Hello, I'm Lucus. What's your name?" I hold out my hand while he quickly reacted.
"M-my name's T-Timmy…" he stuttered. The boy, who didn't even reach my shoulder, grasped my hand and shook it.
"Well, nice to meet you, Timmy." I replied. The boy was obviously a bit intimidated at first, but to my pleasure he regained his courage and bravely greeted me back, not long after he opened the door, scurried away, leaving the door open.
"LUCUS! GET OVER HERE!" A female voice roared somewhere from the normal typing room. I felt provoked and walked in the direction of the sound. On the white couch was sitting Astrid, together with Fieritis. Scarlett's brother smiled at me, probably also scared of Astrid's suddenly roaring loud voice. "I SAID GET OVER HERE!" She yelled.
"Alright, alright! Keep it down!" I reacted, I could barely suppress the feeling to yell back.
"Yeah, whatever you say. Come on, we're already late, and if we don't hurry all the good seats in the refectory will be taken!" She jumped up, stretched her arms out. "To a new day!" She walked to the door with the normal type symbol on it, a white circle with a hexagonal black star in the middle, and threw it open. As we walked through the dorms' corridor Fieritis sheaf to me and whispered:
"She really never seems tired.. does she?" With both a disappointed face that we hadn't slept more, we hurried behind Astrid. The courtyard was still filled, only we didn't have our food yet. Under the tree were a few people playing against each other in a game of checkers, accompanied by a weedle and the Vivillon we saw earlier. Wolf, who Astrid cared for as a big sister, quickly ran towards us. Finally I could fully print his image in my head. His black hair, with a crest, moved along with the breeze. He wore a red shirt under a black hoodie with a red back and the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. Furthermore he was wearing denim jeans and black with red sneakers. Amber eyes stared at me, then Fieritis and rested on Astrid. In his hand sat a chocolate bun and my stomach started growling.
"So, Astrid. Touring the greenies?" He said. It didn't look like he was insulting, but he neither seemed scared our age difference.
"Yes I am. I'd love to have a little chat, but I'm just starving. And you're not making it better with showing that chocolate bun around." Wolf grinned and took a bite of his bun and swallowed it.
"Then go get some food. By now the delicious food will already be gone, but I think there are some baguettes with ham left. He winked and walked back to the wooden bench were his friends were still talking and laughing.
"Let's get eatin', then." She ran to the doorway and smiled while seeing all the food. Baguettes, sandwiches and apparently the chocolate buns were refilled. I saw two familiar faces and one unknown sitting on a red bench surrounded by the usual red parapets. Astrid ran towards them with an already full breakfast, almost more than her plate could hold.. That girl can eat, I thought. Fieritis and I started serving ourselves. I loaded my dinner plate with two fried eggs and a sandwich with strawberry jam and followed Fieritis to the table. I sat nearest Fieritis, straight across from Scarlett. I smiled and she quickly looked back at her food. Next to her sat the girl I had already seen from the window up in Fieritis', Hex's and my room. She had a narrow nose and full cheeks. The others started eating, until Hex realized that Fieritis and I were not yet introduced to the blonde girl.
"Guys, this shy girl here, is Cassie." Her blue eyes twinkled and I nodded. Fieritis answered.
"Well hello, I'm Fieritis, and my buddy here is Lucus." I greeted her and her eyes switched from looking at me to the happy Fieritis and back. There wasn't a lot to say so we all just sat there, was finished and started talking with Hex about the tour. I didn't hear everything clearly, but I did hear 'To the battlefield' and 'seeing what they got.' I smiled brightly hearing those words. This would be my favorite part.
-That's it for today! Peace out, osidien!
