Finding Hope (Ongoing)

Chapter Two: Burned!

A/N: WHYYYYY! It's sooo bad, OK. We had two projects to rush at the same time as well as three exams next week! GAH! I have to rush Aesthetics too...

And everyone is sick! NO! Like to date, half the class has been sick, with symptoms like high fevers (39 degrees Celsius), runny noses, sore throats, headaches, eyes hurting, ear infections, lethargy, and body aches.

I didn't catch it much, just having slight headaches and lethargy, but then again, I skipped the Monday PE class for ballet exams.

I knocked on the door, and Hiromi's mother opened the door.

"Asaki? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the Lab with Hiromi?"

Wonder how she knew me? Well, Pallet Town is small. Actually, it's insanely small. There were only like 10 families living in the town.

We'd all gone to Trainer School together, known each other for years. So everyone knew each other really well.

Her eyes narrowed.

"Unless......"

Well then, it seemed he did it a lot.

"Go get him."

Gladly.

It was really, really comfortable on the grass. I was seriously starting to contemplate just lying here forever.

But I knew that they would send someone after me.

And it was sooner than later.

"Get up!"

A rather familiar high-pitched voice said, but I would rather pretend that I didn't see who it was, because I am so not EVER traveling with her.

"Seriously, get up or I'm gonna do something you really don't want!

Huh. Threats now?

I slowly opened one eyelid to see a blurry image of a girl with red hair before immediately shutting my eyes, groaning mentally. Did I seriously get such a bad match?

"I'm not getting up." I actually answered her, so she should be honoured.

"......"

And then, I felt the flames.

I shouted (not screamed, mind you). "Agh! What th - "

"Language!" I had a hand slapped on my mouth.

What?

I opened my eyes to see a pair of shining red eyes staring back. They reminded me so much of her.

I pushed her away and stumbled back a few steps, and begun to beat out the flames. My worst match ever was standing with her arms crossed, and a Charmander was standing next to her.

"Well, that got you up, huh?" Asaki said, raising an eyebrow. It was so annoying how some people could do that while others couldn't. Like me.

"Wasn't that too much? And why do you already have a Pokémon?"

She stared at me for a moment with those orange eyes before falling onto the grass and laughing her heart out.

"THE TIME YOU IDIOT! YOU'RE ALREADY TOTALLY LATE! SO I GOT IT FIRST!"

Oh. I might have timed out a bit there...... Haha......

"Well, come on! I want to get started!"

...

Was this girl bipolar?

Asaki begun to walk to the front door, but I sighed behind her and said, "You can exit through the back."

She laughed softly. "What, secret backdoor to Paradise?"

I glared at me.

"Don't ask."

"I'm not."

"Good," I grunted.

"Oh and by the way, you have a really pissed off Mom to deal with!"

Oh Arceus.

Asaki expression looked slightly strange, but I shook it off.

She was the good one.

Why would she have secrets?

A/N: I also watched the 2nd movie for The Avengers! It was funny heh. "THE ELEVATOR IS WORTHY!"

I also finished watching Corpse Party: The Anthology. Like, finally. But OMG, it was so nice (and funny, with fanservice and Yaoi and ships and stuff), but that ending is just...... :(

Blood Drive hopefully be localised sooner!
