"Maturity isn't about age, it is about accepting your responsibility."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━ × ━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Spiralling around on the bed for umpteenth time i find myself facing the wall once again.. We somehow managed to buy one day's worth of time for me.. I just hope Cynthia have a plan..

Although i now have a bigger problem in front of me. How would I explain myself to Dawn and May.. Gripping my device I spinned it between my fingers thinking about it..

Was it selfish? I think not...

I know how basic school life work.. I know they will have been the next target after they were done playing with me.. Gary changed his schools for personal reason leaving me with Dawn and May..

And there was a bigger problem.. They were girls.. The more they stuck with me, the greater problem they would drag themselves into.. Sighing loudly i got up from my bed looking at the clock..

Cynthia will be here in sometime too.. And about that. The only conclusion I could come at for the angle twisting was her method only.. Unfortunately Charizard is as dumb as i am and couldn't think of anything else..

Slowly reaching down the stairs I slowly opened the door finding her standing in front of the door about to reach for the doorbell..

"You are early.."

"Couldn't sleep. You better save my ass now Cynthia. I bought one day worth of time.." She looked at me nodding her head lightly.. We slowly reached for garden to begin our usual training, I opened the sliding door turning back finding Cynthia holding a picture frame in her hands..

"Your friend?" She motioned to the picture, i peeled my eyes away..

Gary was an asshole, a hypocrite, a smart dumbass, but above all he was my rival.

"My best friend.. My one and only.." The answer came on its own. Even after all the fights we had, all the insults we threw at each other, all the time we snitch each other. He was my only best friend till high school till it changed..

"Lets train.. Call out Charizard.. He will to resistance training side by side while you do your basic stretches." Her voice distracted me walking past me toward the garden sitting on the wooden platform outside the house.. I grabbed my pokeball throwing it revealing Charizard as her Garchomp looked at Charizard..

"All right. No attacking Charizard. Just defense.." I ordered, the order was answered by a flamethrower at my face and a giggle from Cynthia..

"You two have an awesome chemistry.. Keep it up.. Rock throw Garchomp. Lets start with low power.." she ordered.. Her Garchomp summoned a volley of rocks toward Charizard who rose his wings in front of itself.. I sat down on the ground stretching myself trying to touch my toe and failing to do so..
