The Story Of Ashlynn Freeman

Chapter 1: Introduction

Monday August 10th, 2009

I grab my brush, counting each stroke, it must be exactly 27 that's the number I counted when brushing my hair, if it doesn't lead to that number nothing is right in the world, anyways, for your information, I do get to 27, and I grab my phone, backpack, and wallet, all where they exactly are, and I make my way downstairs to the kitchen to see my brother Jacob.

"Good morning, Ash, are you ready for school?" Jacob asks.

"Yes, other than my lunchbox." I say.

"You know where your lunch is." Jacob said.

I looked inside the fridge and I grabbed my lunch on the second shelf close to the bottom, and I grabbed my lunchbox on the table, putting the strap around my waist, I scratched my shoulder a little, I'm not comfortable in clothes, they're itchy, anyways, I met my childhood friend, Marigold outside.

"Good morning, Ash." he said, carefully.

I felt my heart flutter, I don't know why, but I've been feeling this feeling of, I can't describe it to you, but every time I'm with him, I feel comfortable, anyways, I say, "Good m-morning."

"Nervous?" Marigold asked.

"A little." I said, pacing in a perfect circle.

Marigold, holds her hand, he's the only person other than my family I let touch me.

I look over, noticing him touch me, it feels weird, but I soak it in.

"Remember, we have the same classes, the school already knows of your condition." He said, squeezing my hand a little.

"I have no idea what I'd do without you." I said.

Marigold pulls me into a hug, carefully.

I carefully wrap my arms around him, feeling weird, but cozy, and I swear I felt my heart skip a beat.

"I made a promise that I'd never leave your side." Marigold said.

The bus arrives, and, holding hands we enter the bus, sitting at the window with Marigold beside me, I get a notification from Livestream.com

Tomotorrow is streaming Pokemon This Gym Of Mine

(Author Blue here, Tomotorrow is what Susan called her alias, Susan was a Speedrunner back in the mid 2000s until the late 2010s, she still streams under that name to this day, but since only a select few knew who Tomo really was, those few didn't reveal who she was, so until Ash finds out I'll be calling Susan, Tomo.)

"Sweet, Tomo is streaming." I said checking my phone.

"As in, the world record holder in Pokemon Emerald any percent?" Marigold asks.

"Yeah, I love watching her streams." I gushed, at that moment, I wanted to confess my love for Marigold, but was afraid of rejection, anyways we watch her stream.

"How're your kids doing, they're doing okay."  Tomo said.

"Wait, she has kids?" I ask.

"Yeah, two twin girls and a boy, that's all I know." he said.

"Alright, what type should I choose?" Tomo asks, reading her chat.

"So, I'm putting it in a poll on the chat." she said.

The choices were Electric, Fire, and Dragon.

"I say Electric." Marigold said.

"I say Dragon, I mean have you played Pokemon Platinum, I barely beat Cynthia, and I used Garchomp." Ash said.
