After leaving my house, I made my way to school while walking with my push up in my mouth. While walking I let my mind wander, I have been in this world for almost ten years, currently it is mid march meaning I would go on my journey in August. During my years I have experimented with my body, like the inklings in splatoon I could hide in any body of ink or water in this case, as long as there was I hole I could find way, were water could fit I could go, and if I consciously focused on the water in my body I could expand or shrink the size of my body, so now I don't have to worry either dieting, or my height, or other sizes of things.
Something fun I could do is if I focused externally is that I could be a discount water bender however there was a reason I called myself a discount bender because the water had to come from somewhere, their first time I tried to create a cup of water it came from my left leg, due to losing balance I definitely did not smash my face into my bedroom wall creating a head sized hole in my wall, definitely not. Eventually after more experimenting I figured out that if I wanted to do anything external I had to be near a body of water.
With my pondering over I finally came into view of the school gate, as I approached I heard a rumbling sound that was steadily increasing, giving a sigh of exasperation I moved a little to the left before the blonde bullet could smash into me.
ohhiHikaribetIcanbeatyoutotheclassroomloserowestheotherfivebucks, I heard from the blonde blur as he passed me, I could only wonder how in the world he could say that all in one breath without stopping.
After a few more minutes walking, I was about to enter the classroom when I saw from the corner of my eye the blonde blur from earlier, Barry sprawled out in the middle of the hallway, thinking to myself, should I be the better person by helping him or be petty?
I choose to be petty then help him, walking into the classroom, taking a quick drink from my water bottle then putting my backpack in my seat, "oh, hi Hikari?" walking out of the classroom while getting some weird looks from the other kids, I made my way towards Barry. Barry was an interesting kid to say the least, he wasn't the smartest kid but certainly was the loudest, he always wore an orange and white striped jacket with a green scarf around his neck that was worn like a tie, he was also the thickest skull kid I had ever met, I'd bet all my money that if I swung a baseball bat at his head the bat would break before his skull.
Looking down at him I realized he was sporting a Pancham eye in his left eye, and wasn't conscious, so there was a brain in there. Deciding to move him over to the side of the hallway against the wall, so that he wasn't in the middle of the hallway.
Now in my magnanimous, and gracious mind there was only one solution that I could think of to wake Barry before Mr. Curtis came to start the class in fifteen minutes.
"Ohhhhh, Barrrrrry! Time to wake uuuuupppp"
slap
"rise and shine, stubby!"
slap
"wake-up"
slap
"up and at 'em"
slap
"Fine, I guess I'll keep doing this until I see some results.", "Wai" slap, midway through another round of bitch slapping Barry my method worked, he woke up, while he was still on the floor I got up and started speaking "ah you're awake, now due not having any insurance, medical fees come to about a gazillion dollars."
Barry now regaining his senses abruptly shot up, "what do you me a gazillion dollars?! All you did was hit me!" he said while giving me an accusatory pointing finger. "I don't know what you want from me, I gave you the whole package, I moved you from the middle of the hallway, to here meaning a transportation fee, along with that I was with you the whole time while I administered treatment, heck I'll even give you a band aid but that will cost extra."
"What do you mean with these fees?! You literally just moved me two feet, you're just trying to scam me Hikari."
"What do you mean, I helped wake you up? Now come on we have to get to class, oh and by the way you owe me five bucks."
"Why do I owe you money?" Barry said while walking with me to the classroom.
"You forgot? You said that whoever beat the other to class would get five bucks from the loser, and before I helped you I put my stuff down in my seat."
"What, you're so mean Hikari", by now we had entered the classroom, "also why didn't any of you jerks help me?" Barry said while addressing the class.
"Because you had it coming!" Everyone, even the normally quiet ones yelled back at him as he jumped back. Aside from Barry there were three other stand out kids in this class, first there was Noah, he had short shoulder length darker orange hair, eyes as green as grass, was a little taller than me by about two inches. Noah was your usual friends with everyone kid, one that could make even the quietest person open up and have a conversation with him. Speaking of quieter kids there was Kyra, Kyra had long ebony black hair, she always had an oversized black hoodie on, wore darker eye shadow, a look that screamed emo, or in the pokemon world ghost type trainer. Kyra did have a quieter personally until she felt more comfortable around you then she opened up, leading everyone who didn't talk to her much to just call her spooky, Kyra was also the only kid in the class to have her own pokemon, a mischievous misdreavus. An easy way to get the normally reserved Kyra to open up was to talk about ghost types, that was originally how we had started talking and became friends.
Last but not least there was Lucas, Lucas was a kind boy, very enthusiastic about pokemon, he had short dark blue hair, wore a red beret, like Barry wore a scarf like a tie around his neck but his was red. Looking from our current point of view as of right now, Lucas had the brightest future compared to the rest of the other kids, he recently became the lab assistant to Professor Rowan. When Kyra first showed us her misdreavus Lucas was the first to bombard her with questions, stars practically shining in his eyes this naturally startled Kyra making her hide in her hoodie turtle style until we all coaxed her out mainly with me and Noah's help.
The normally cheerful Noah just gave Barry a tired look, "you constantly run as fast as you can then smash into people, you tasting payback was bound to happen sooner or later Barry, especially for what happened yesterday". Barry for his part just looked confused, "What did I do yesterday?"
This time it was Lucas who spoke, "Yesterday you smashed into Kyra, causing her to land on her lunch bag and crush it's contents, well Barry guess what was also in the bag? Misdreavus's pokemon treats".
At this the Misdreavus in question was happily eating her treats while leaning on a heavy looking hydroflask, Kyra doesn't like using them, "so let me get this straight, Barry pissed off Misdreavus, and she brought a hydroflask for Barry to run into?"
"Yup" was the class's response, "alright kids cut the chatter, it's time for class" the man of the hour Mr. Curtis finally showed up. Me and Barry hurried to our seat, Barry still grumbling while I was holding back from laughing at him midway through the lesson Barry slid me five bucks when Mr. Curtis wasn't looking.
