"Ahhh..." I thought, drifting off for five more minutes when I was once again disrupted from my dreamless sleep by that obnoxious alarm!
"Gah! Stupid alarm!" "Shut up! Ehh...errr...oof!" Thud!
My roomate had jumped up in her bed to find me sprawled on the floor, dizzy eyes and blanket in a mess over my small frame. She only shook her head.
The blaring had finally been silenced by the girl pressing the off button. She took a moment to stretch on her bed before rising and trotting to the bathroom, mumbling under her breath, "She's been a little strange lately..." A teardrop appeared on the back of her head. She was imagining the many different ways her roomate would end up off her bed these past few mornings.
As for me...
"Ugh...not again..." I looked at the clock. 7:15 A.M. There was a reason why we set our clock so early. In case we oveerslept, we wouldn't have to rush to get to class, as we had a habit of doing at the beginning of the school year. I got up and went to brush my teeth while my roomate showered, then switched places. Same old routine every morning excluding my recent morning clumsiness.
"You've been really jumpy lately, Airin, how come? Are you stoked that this year is almost over?" The brown eyed girl who is my roomate was styling her shoulder length brunette hair in the mirror.
"You read my mind, Yuki!" I said from my bed. I was putting on my brown and green linked bracelet on my left wrist, then sat there and stared on it, dazed off into my own world.
"You miss him, don't you?"
I snapped back to earth at Yuki's question. "Him...who??" I cocked my head. She put her hands on her hips and gave me a look that clearly said "You know who."
"Ohh! Well, not just him..." I was telling the truth, but she didn't quite believe me. I can't blame her. I do talk about him a bit..ok..a lot.
"If you say sooo.." She trailed off in a higher note. I was certain her energy level was rising already. I'm not much of a morning person, unlike her, so I just sighed and trudged to the bathroom in my sloppy uniform.
Yuki walked by on her way to the door and said, "I'm gonna go ahead and leave...I'll save you a seat as usual!" Yuki did usually leave before me as she was always ready before me.
I was busy applying my face care products so I said a simple, "Okay," and she left skipping happily as usual. "I don't get how she has so much energy in the morning!" I thought as a yawn escaped me, clearly showing my lack of morning energy.
"Grr! Not again!" Once again, for what feels like the hundredth time this week, I had spilled some foundation on my maroon uniform vest.

Yuki waved to me from the third row in the multi-leveled spacious lecture room.
"What took you so long?" She asked as I pulled out the chair next to her and sat down. Yuki seemed eager and I cocked an eyebrow to her.
"What?"
"Nothing..." I shook my head slowly. "I spilled some foundation on my vest again." I pointed to the barely visible pale spot on the right side of my vest, above my chest. "Luckily, it almost came out eheheh..." I said scratching the back of my head.
"Again?" She gasped. "You really need to quit daydreaming about Hotaru or you'll fail the final exam today." She began poking my right shoulder while I went into la la land at hearing his name...imagining him and an adorable little girl with blonde pigtails. I let out a sigh and a "kawaii..." as I sunk onto the cream table, resting my chin on my palm. A few seconds later I was brought back to earth and my eyes widened at my mind repeating what Yuki had last said.
"Whaaaat??!?" I exclaimed so loud, everyone around me turned to face me and all went quiet. "Ehhh..." A tinge of pink touched my cheeks. I waved my hand to everyone to excuse me. Luckily, they responded to that, returning their attention to their own businesses.
I slowly leaned towards Yuki and whispered, "Did you say final exam...today??"
"Yes, Airin...How could you forget? Too busy thinking about Hotaru?" She teased. Her smile widened and her brown eyes narrowed at me with a raised eyebrow as my face went from normal to completely red within seconds. She mistook it for the wrong reason, for I had turned red in frustration, not embarassment.
Sensei walked in right on cue when I was about to answer her. I shut my mouth, crossed my arms and sunk into my chair feeling defeated. Yuki chuckled lightly at my reaction. Her light, fluted laugh always reminded me of a fairy or elf or something of the sort, like a certain laugh I was familiar with from a little girl back home.
*****
It's about ten minutes into our final, and I sat there staring at my test blankly, number two pencil in hand.
I can't believe my mind just went blank... I sighed, resting my chin in my palm over the desk. I started doodling a charmander on my test paper with unusual pale markings, such as a rose shape on its head. Somehow something in my mind suddenly clicked, a flood of knowledge flowing through my mind all at once. I glanced down at the first question and remembered what the answer was.
What is the main focus of Pokémon breeding? Hmm..A..no..oh, B..Raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition.
I paused a bit when the questions were on training and which items would boost a Pokémon's different stats. I'm not much ofa battler so these questions always stumped me a bit, but I managed to get through the test. I was relieved it was finally over.

[Hello everyone! Ilene here!
Gah..I'm pretty behind because I've been busy and haven't been able
to post much until recently. I have a lot written down already that just needs
to be typed up, so I'll get working on that and my first post at actually starting
my journey according to my playing Heart Gold that I got today at 9a.m. So far,
it's been awesome! Brings back lots of memories of playing Gold, Silver, and Crystal..Ahh..
About this story, tell me what you think of it so far! It may be a bit long at
the beginning, but I hope to get into more stuff once I start up the journey
part, and although it will be following the game, I plan on doing something
like adding in some plots here and there as I think them up, and I do actually
have a sort of bigger plot planned further into the story..can't tell you more
than that ;) Well, hope you like it so far..I'm not much of a writer, so it's more
of an experiment that I hope I can improve on as I go =)
This is Ilene logging off in san, ni, ichi! *beep*]
