The College Outcast
Hey guys having fun writing this story and I love how everyone is leaving this story alone in the reviews. Anywho here it is.
I wake up slowly and see my shadow queen laying beside me smiling in her sleep. I kiss her which causes her to wake up in surprise and then melts into it.
"Morning beautiful," I say.
"Why did you wake me up by kissing me?" She said.
"Well would you prefer me wake you up by my blaring music in your ear," I say.
"You make a very convincing argument," she said laughing.
"So what do you want to do?" I ask.
"Well breakfast sounds good," She says.
"Good thing I did some shopping," I say.
I go to the kitchen and take out a pan and take some food out of the fridge and start cooking after a few minutes of cooking the omelette Layla comes in and hugs me from behind.
"Kiss the cook?" I ask smiling.
She then pecks me on the cheek and walks on back to the table.
"Ok its ready," I say.
I then take two plates and put the food on them and present it to Layla.
"It looks so good thank you," She said.
"Your welcome my Shadow Queen," I say happily.
"You thirsty?" I ask.
"Yeah," She said in between bites.
I then make a decorated double wall cup of ice and put some OJ in the glass.
"Here you go," I say.
"Thanks,"She says.
"Man I just can't get over how good you are with ice," She says.
"Its the weavile thing," I say proud of my work.
"Oh how's the mark?" I ask.
"Its fine," She said referring to the claiming mark I put on her wrist.
"Are you sure?" I ask,
"Yes Austin its fine there is nothing wrong with it and I'm not having nightmares so please stop worrying," She says.
"And in case of emergencies just say ice beam or dark pulse and you can have a form of self defence in case someone gives you a hard time since I embued those attacks into the mark, And they will be charged from your mouth so be careful when you use them," I say.
"Oh Austin you don't have to do that, and thanks for the tip" She said touched that I was trying to protect her.
"Well better safe than sorry," I say.
"True," She said after she finished her breakfast.
'And I can teach you to have an open mind link,' I say to her mentally.
"eep," She jumped at the voice in her head.
"Hi Layla," I say innocently.
"What was that?" She asked.
"A little bit of telepathy," I say.
"Oh," She says.
"If you ever get in trouble, just send out a help message and I'll come running," I say.
"There is one problem with your theory," She says.
"What is that?" I ask.
"I still need to learn," She says.
"Oh, right," I say.
"Now this one works a little bit differently than your last ditch effort," I explain
"I gathered that," She said flatly.
"Ok first let's get comfortable since this could take a while," I comment.
We make our way to the bed and get comfy.
"Ok Layla first clear your head of all thought," I instruct.
She then calms down and relaxes.
"Ok now lock onto a powerful memory and only that," I explain.
"Ok," She spoke
"Now think about the person you want to establish a link with," I said.
"OK," She commented.
"Now try to send said person a message," I said.
'Like this,' She said mentally.
"Yes that's perfect," I say.
"This would obviously be Plan A, Plan B is the claiming mark," I say.
"Right," She says.
"Oh by the way don't use the mark's power too often because it saps energy," I say.
"Ok got it," Layla says.
"Good, my shadow queen," I say.
"Wanna terrorize the neighborhood?" I ask.
"Yeah,"
"Ok let me just get my hoodie," I Say.
"Why?" She asked.
"You might be ok with me but I've had enough tomatoes thrown at me to know that not everyone else is," I say.
"They just judge you for what you are," Layla said.
"I know but the less attention I get the better," I comment.
"Fine Austin, be that way," She says upset.
"Ok I will," I say flatly
I get my hoodie and Layla gets her jacket and we leave for the town in her car since I didn't have one and my parents never gave me the time of day.
"Sorry about this its just my-," I started.
"Stop worrying about it we all have issues with our parents yours are just a little different," She said.
"Don't remind me," I say flatly.
"Hey we can still have fun just stop being so negative," She commented.
"Well I have a justifiable reason," I say.
"True, but that doesn't mean you have to use it," She snapped.
"Fair's fair," I say.
"So who were the others in your little circle of friends?" I ask.
"Well there's Nova who you met, there's May, Hilda, Calem, and Serena," She listed.
"Ah ok do they know of my situation?" I ask.
"Not all of them Nova does obviously, and none of them know about our relationship except for Nova, but I took care of that," She explained.
"Thanks shade," I say.
"No prob," I say.
We arrive at the mall and go in and start roaming around since I was in the Navy I had a tycoon's wallet full of cash but I wasn't spending it randomly, anywho we just go shopping for food and such. I had my hoodie on and the hood up and I went into the jeweler and looked for something particular.
'Ah found it,' I say to myself.
"Excuse me," I say.
I get the attention of one of the workers and she sees me and cowers in fear.
"Please take what you want but don't hurt me," She said.
"Hey whoa let's not jump to conclusions I just would like to buy the Aquamarine double helix ring with the silver band," I say.
"That might be out of your price range," She said scanning my attire.
"Look lady could you please just give me the ring," I say with my patience running thin.
"Its three hundred dollars," She said skeptical of my wallet size.
I pulled out a three bundles of a hundred dollars and she handed me the ring in a box.
"Thank's for your business," She said dumbfounded.
"Don't mention it," I say.
I pocket the ring and do some other shopping including some snacks and drinks for the dorm a new set of sheets an extra pillow for Layla even though that might go unused as she seems to like my chest as a pillow. But at any rate good to have on hand. I also get the matching ring to Layla's for me. Once we finish shopping We head back to her car putting the bags in the back and start driving back.
"Have fun?" I ask.
"Yup, I still can't believe we bought all of that stuff," She commented.
"It happens anyway let's get back to the college before someone tries to hurl something at me," I say.
"Oh stop," She says.
'I still don't get what she sees in me,' I think seemingly to myself.
'Ya know two can play at that game, also stop putting yourself down I mean come on you're my favorite gen 4 pokemon, you stuck up for me on more than one occasion and you aren't a jerk, you're a sweet kid with a special circumstance,' She mentally lectured me.
"Thanks for that sobering thought," I say ironically.
"sure no problem," She said oh so innocently.
We drive back in silence and find her parking space in the back of the building.
"Let's get this stuff back to our dorm and then we can relax," I say.
"Yup," She said smiling.
We each take the same amount of bags and make it in one trip.
"Whew today was exhausting," She said.
"Yes but exciting," I say.
"True," She said.
"I then start remaking the bed with the second pillow and the sheets
"What kind of sheets are those?" She asked.
"Egyptian cotton," She said.
"NO WAY," She screamed.
"Ahh, sensitive ears!" I say.
"Oh sorry, but those are my favorite type," She said.
"Oh and I got you a pillow in case," I say.
"Thanks but your fur is good enough, really soft and comfortable," She says.
"Fair enough but its good to have on hand," I say.
"True," She said.
"Anywho want to eat lunch?" I ask.
"Yeah," Layla commented.
I started cooking with Layla and I talking the whole time.
"Ok and done," I say.
"Good I'm starving," She said.
I kissed my girlfriend after she said that.
"Aw," She said.
"Love ya, Shade," I say.
"Love you too," She reciprocated.
"Well it seems we are getting along quite nicely do you have any questions that you would like to know about me?" I asked.
"Yes what's that sticking out of your pocket?" She asked.
"Oh this old thing its nothing except for its one of your birthday gifts," I say as if its nothing.
"Uh-," Layla started.
"Before you continue please remember I have sensitive ears so along with hearing anything someone says under their breath about me it also hurts to hear a loud sound,"
"Right its just that my birthday isn't for another week," She commented.
"Well I couldn't wait," I said.
I then placed a box on the table with the opening facing towards Layla.
"Happy early birthday," I say as I open the box.
"Oh my gosh I love it," She said holding the ring in her hands and I slipped it on her finger.
"want to get some dessert in the cafe?" I ask.
"Sure," She said.
We walk down and pass a couple of students who muttered stuff under their breath all of it had to do with me and Layla but I just ignored it and continued with Layla in my arms and walking together.
'You should hear all of the redundant things that are being said to me its so redundant its painful actually,' I say telepathically.
'Well they don't have your situation and people usually lash out at what they don't understand so its perfectly normal a little rude, but what can you do,' She said back.
'True but still its kinda hard to stay happy when around every corner there is a random jerk wanting to voice their opinion about me,'
'WOULD YOU STOP DOING THAT,' She shouted in my head.
"Ow," I say.
"I don't know what you're talking about," She said oh so innocently.
"Yeah yeah," I comment.
We get a sundae to share and just sit down.
"Hey guys." She says.
"Hey Layla," Nova piped up.
"So who's this?" Hilda asked.
"Everyone this is Austin, My newest friend and best boyfriend," She said.
"Hi," Serena said.
"Hello," I say.
"So this is Austin," Calem said
I prepared for the worst and then realised nothing was happening.
"Nice to meet you," he said.
"You're not upset that I'm a morph?" I asked.
"No I think you are still a human being and you need just as much respect as anyone else," Calem said.
"Thanks you're one of the few people that get that," I said.
"And guys Austin is my boyfriend," Layla said.
"Really?" Serena said.
Layla kissed me to prove her point.
'And guys since we are going to get to know each other I think we should set up a telepathy chain,' I send to the group.
"What was that?" Hilda asked.
"Just a telepathic message," I say as Layla and I eat our sundae.
"Oh ok," hilda commented.
"Meet me in my room and I'll help you guys," I say.
"Ok," they say in unison
