Pokemon, Hello from The Heights: Seen by the Sneasler

Chapter 3

"All those who succeeded have worked hard!"

I didn't feel like working today, so I just went to school. Art block really sucks, and when it happens you just feel like doing nothing.

I felt so tired today as well. When I got to school, I almost immediately fell asleep at my desk. I noticed Ryoichiro was kind of... on edge. He was constantly tapping his foot. He didn't want to talk during lunch so I talked with him after school.

"I think you should slowly release your anger," I suggested.

"I probably should..." he grumpily replied.

"What with the sour mood?" I asked.

"It's Mel," he told me, "He's up in my face about whether the two of us are dating or not."

"Which," I added, "we aren't." Yet, I said in my head.

"Whats with the face?" He asked, "Anyway, I've got an odd feeling that Nee-san has an idea."

"Lets hope she does," I said.

I arrived home, expecting for Tsubasa-nii-san to welcome me back from school as I walked in, but he was nowhere in sight. I went to lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling, thoughts circling in my head. What the heck I gotta do to find motivation to do what I love.

The next day, I overhead Ryoichiro and Mel chatting. From what I could gather, Ayame-senpai had bribed Mel into not giving him concert tickets. But then Mel said something that itched something in my brain, and not in the good way.

"You better give me tickets," he retorted, "Or else."

"Or else... what?" Ryoichiro asked back.

"Or else," Mel told him, "I'll tell the whole school of your relationship."

"Hah, as if."
