WARNING! Strong language.
Steven stares at his bedside table, hoping it would be enough to turn off the alarm.
"Crap" He mutters to himself, realizing he'll have to get up.
He throws the alarm on the floor.
"I'm up now. Happy?"
Steven walks up to the bathroom, groaning. He looks at himself in the mirror.
I look like hell...
And he did. His skin was pale and had pillow marks, his eyes were a bit grayer than usual, he carries dark circles under his eyes.
He decides to hop in the shower. There was no time to waste. He wants to get out before his father wakes up. It was better that way.

May wraps her bandanna around her head. Max looks at her, smiling.
"What is it? Do I look okay?" May asks.
"Oh, nothing. You look amazing, as usual" Max reassures.
"Max..." May looks at him with suspicion.
"Nothing! You just look too nice for a school trip to Mauville."
May chuckles. Max crosses his arms. He's been jealous for a few weeks.
"I'll bring you a Ralts doll from the Game Corner."
"I can't believe you're gambling under the legal age, Maylene..." Max places his hand on his forehead, disappointed, then grins. "Go get yourself a Torchic doll as well."
"Sure will!" May kisses her brother's cheek before heading out for the day.

You're surprised to see two trainers fighting at the entrance. They're actually fighting with their fists, not having an usual Pokémon battle. You didn't know what to do, so you just backed off carefully.
Not carefully enough, because you end up bumping on someone.
"Watch your damn step!" The person growls. You turn around to face them.
A lump forms on your throat.
"I-I'm sorry, Stevi..." You correct yourself before he notices. "Steven."
His expression softens.
"It's fine, (Y/N). I'm the one who's sorry" He takes a step to the left. "I'll see you around!"
He waves at you and walks away.
"I bet."
What was that? For a second, I almost felt like Steven and I never parted our ways...

Wallace had pure shock stamped on his face. Just like you, he had millions of questions running through his head. For you and his friend's sake, he just shook it off and went to find May. He figured she would love to hear about this.
(Time Skip)
Lunchtime rolls around. You pack your stuff and leave. The hallways are more crowded than usual. Then you remembered today's the day you despised.
School trip.
"Please, no..." You mutter in disgust, slamming your locker shut.
•••
Students gather around the cafeteria, waiting for the bus to arrive. They were talking, laughing, playing with their Pokémon.
