Classmates Days

Chapter 73: Pryia, Think Twice

             I have a few tests coming up. I have told Nina to make sure the Dreamers please make an attempt to keep it down. These tests are very important for college. I do wonder how they are going to make it to college. I don't doubt their skills, but I just wonder how they keep up with their classes. I went to my room and saw Diantha petting her Gardevoir.

"Ah, Pryia. How are you today?" she greeted me warmly.

"I am doing well. Thank you for asking. I just have a few tests to study for" I told her.

"We shall keep it down and make sure there is no noise to disturb you" she reassured me.

I was grateful she was going to help me.

"You haven't had any sort of trouble in school lately, right?" she asked concerned.

"I am fine, did you hear something?" I asked her as I tilted my head.

"I've heard rumors around your school lately. I am just being over cautious. Also, one of your classmates, I believe from the Dreamers, had requested that I make sure the school was safe. I am sure it is nothing is wrong if you haven't heard anything" Diantha explained, "Continue with your studies. I will be walking around here"

She quietly left my room with Gardevoir following her. I wonder what kind of evil force and which Dreamer had asked her to keep an eye on things. I am sure it is nothing though. It doesn't seem like there is anything wrong. I can't let this distract, so I will just have to do that. I can't help but have this terrible feeling inside of me.

"You are probably right about having that bad feeling" a voice echoed in my room.

I looked around for the source of the voice, but I was clearly alone in my room. Someone else must be using some kind of magic to communicate with me. I know this voice though. It couldn't be her though, could it? I have to find Diantha and warn her before she does get attack. I exited my room to find Sean with X at the common room working on his new photography piece.

"Sean! Did you see where Diantha went?" I asked him as I approached him.

He looked up from his work as X asked, "The Champion went to the gardens outside. Did something happen?"

"I heard a familiar voice. I just need to make sure she is ok" I answered him as I composed myself, "I can handle it. You do not need to worry about it"

I bowed and left them to finish their work. I couldn't stop thinking about the voice as I ran to the garden. I found my guardian standing with her Gardevoir. Wait, something is wrong. She's not here! I stopped running and looked around. The weather was chilly, yet it felt very warm.

"My, my aren't you a smart student. No wonder the Dreamers simply handed you the Champion" the voice spoke impressed.

The fake Diantha and Gardevoir vanished when I held my wand as I looked around. I turned around when I felt the heat rising on my back. It was her. The Elite Four of Kalos, Malva. I thought she was still recovering, but she looks perfectly fine now. She must be a nightmare then.

"Clever and beautiful. Honestly, this is unfair. Diantha is like you in that way. She is simply beautiful and clever. She doesn't work hard to get what she wants!" Malva said as her Pyroar stood in front of her.

Is she that bitter? Was she not aware about her other friends who looked out for her? Maybe this nightmare was created before she was injured. Diantha was the most heart broken among them. She and the rest of the Elite Four would check on her every day. Maybe she needs to recall that memory.

"Surely you treasure her friendship with you, right? She deeply cares about you after what happened" I asked her while keeping a good distance away from her.
