Gale

So many new people. "N-no, he just came up to me and started talking. I don't know why though. I mean I didn't dislike it." I think I know what she's getting at. I mean, it's not like it would be unwelcome. "He left in a hurry though, I wonder what happened."



Len
-----

"Left in a hurry?" I turn to Mr Page. "You would not know anything of that, would you Mr. Page? Since something seems to have struck your humor." I stare at him. It is not a stare of disgust or anything bad, but clearly this is his doing.

Page

The dumb look on my face probably didn’t help my situation any. I’ve got three sets of eyes locked onto me like snipers. Sheena’s especially. Gale asks me who I am, but before I can even speak, Sheena introduces me as the ‘laughing jackass’. When Len asks if I know why Glover ran off in a hurry, my smile quickly dissipates. Now I feel like a convicted criminal on trial, and I can’t possibly imagine how they must’ve felt up there. Sure this isn’t the same degree of wrongdoing, but man, does it suck. I rub my temples in exasperation, and for a good reason: they probably think I’m a homophobic asshole. Dammit, this is going no where. I sit up, leaning forward, and raise my hands up and confess.

“Look, if you guys took it the wrong way, I apologize. I assumed Glover knew that you were a guy at first glance, so it pegged me as odd as to why you two were sitting real close to one another.” I adjust my tie a bit and clear my throat. “Glover’s straight. I don’t question people’s life choices, so if you choose to play for the other side, then I won’t hold it against you.” I feel my cheeks burning up as I say this. “Sorry, if I offended you, Gale.” I think now’s a good time to stop talking. I’m serious when I say I don’t question the way people live their lives, so when I genuinely have offended someone, sure as hell, I’ll step up to the plate and deliver an apology. Having embarrassed myself enough for one day, I fixate my stare at the opposite side of the gym… but not before taking another quick glance at Sheena again. Curse my machismo-driven antics.

Glover
-----------

I flush my upchucked breakfast down the toilet. I feel relieved, but I’m in a bit of a cold sweat, and upon looking at myself in the mirror, I look like I’ve seen a ghost. I feel almost too ashamed to go back to the bleachers. What happened while I was gone? Is the gang gonna look at me the same after overreacting like that? Okay, deep breaths, let’s not think this over too much. I wash my face and dry off with some paper towels. Might as well head back to the gym. I drink a bit of water, but I take my time walking back to the bleachers. What do you even say at that point? ‘Sorry, I don’t swing that way? We can still be friends?’ So much was running through my mind that I didn’t even notice I was back at the bleachers, sat down, in the same spot. Man, is this next hour going to be awkward.

I feel a little pained by his reaction. I bring my hand to cover my mouth. "Ah, I did not mean it like that. Please forgive my indiscretion. Is there some way I could make it up to you?" He seems genuinely distressed over the matter.



Gale
-----

"E-excuse me...are you saying he was hitting on me?" I nervously speak up after some of the noise had settled. "Oh..." my voice drops in disappointment, "...but he thought I was a girl, huh..." It's not the first time, people assumed I was a girl and it won't be the last. "...actually, it's weird that you all thought I was a guy."

Sheena

Man, I don't know if Page's apology made matters better or worse. It is obvious that he meant good from it, but the obvious drop in Gale's tone shows that he is upset in some fashion over what transpired.

"Well to be honest Gale, I actually though you were a girl at first as well, but Len here was able to pick out some key physical traits in your body that showed you were a guy, so I just took her at her assumption." I put on the cheesiest grin as I finish up my sentence.

Matthew

We gather today in remembrance of bs404, also known as B, BS, and the Brofessor. He left us today to go and enjoy some delicious food, when he met his untimely fate at the hands of the Russian Tooth Fairy, and just like his "nigg" Harambe, was taken from this world too soon.

As I am trying to make my way in the crowds, I bump into someone. Appears to be Matt. What a coincidence, but I suppose it's a nice one. ''Hey Matt!'' I respond with a shy smile.
''I'm doing pretty well actually, but I'm a bit anxious about my Bagon evolving soon, and about receiving starters later today... But other than that I'm feeling pretty good! What about you? Seem like you are looking for someone'' I tell and make an observation.

Kiri

As I was done with the storage rooms and checking that everything else was fine, I heard that it was about time that everyone were here. I don't think anyone was impatient about me being not present yet - because this was prime time to socialize or chill after the row of classes from this morning. I had a tank top on, I think I'll change that up for something less revealing. Didn't want to scare the students off exactly. I had to make my way to the changing rooms by accessing the main part of the gym, and I quickly darted and parted through the crowds and made my way there. Ahh, much better. I put on my grey and well fitted track suit. It was pretty stylish for sportswear. Time to get to the action then I guess, I suppose Hyun was ready too. Hadn't seen him for a bit though.

I returned back to where everyone else was. I had a pretty good vision of the area, since I was taller than at least 95% of the people there (just an estimation). I definitely stood out from the crowd, I suppose. This was a lot of students, honestly. Ever since we upped the amount of students accepted 3 years ago, it has been kinda like this. That makes it all the more interesting in my opinion. I climb on the top of the bleachers to see if I can locate Hyun, but can't spot him. Tough luck, oh well. He's around somewhere very close I bet. I find an opening where everyone quiets down for a little bit and strike: ''Yo! Up here peeps'' I shout loudly to gain attention, which I seem to succeed in. A lot of people would need a microphone in this but I was capable of producing a pretty loud voice. ''You might not know who I am, but let's just say I'll be doing a big part of the teaching here. I'm Kiriha Wilson, but call me Kiri if need be. Are you guys aware of the rules of the class or even know what we'll be doing here exactly?'' I introduce, then continue by asking a question. There's still a bit of talk going on but I don't think that's too bad, I let it go.

I didn't manage to find anyone too interesting, but I did however get something done. I managed to exchange numbers with a cute chick. First catch of the school year. I stuck with the first group I found, it had a few people who were from the Bug class. We were talking about how the class went, but suddenly I hear someone yelling loudly, I suppose that'd be the teacher. I look up and manage to spot him with my sight - yeah I think that's one of our teachers. I think the way he got this all started was a bit unconventional, but maybe it would have been too formal for him to show up calmly to a stage with a microphone or something. Surprisingly his voice reached most of the people here without any mic. I couldn't see the guy too well, since I was pretty far off myself. I could still hear him just fine. Kiri? I think I had heard that name somewhere before.

Blake

Should be long enough. I leave the bathroom and head back to the gym. Getting crowded, but right now that's probably for the best. I find a spot as close to the door as I can and try my best to not stand out. Let me get through the first day, I sigh to myself.

Matthew

"Huh, oh yeah.." I say starting to trail off. I had left to go find Glover. When I look around I see he managed to make his way back to the group. "Nope looks like I'm good." I say with a slightly awkward laugh, rubbing the back of my neck. One of these days I'll stop doing that. "My day has been okay so far, had a couple of rough encounters, but not to bad all in all. Your bagon is looking like it will evolve soon though? That has to be pretty exciting." Hmm, I wonder when Oz will evolve. Having a Lucario to train with would really help me step up my game, and would be beneficial to him as well.

Suddenly a man from the top of the bleachers calls out, introducing himself as Kiriha Wilson. Wait. Isn't that the name of the guy who beat Cynthia a few years back. I look up to see who this guy is. No way. That's the teacher I ran into while training my second day at this school. Man, this guy has to know more about joining the battle club than he originally let on.

I quickly snap my attention away from the guy and back to Diana. "Well it looks like the class will probably be starting soon. Have you found a place to sit yet?" I ask her. Part of me wants to ask her to come sit with our group, but I also don't want to put up with Sheena while I still feel this awkward around Diana.

I mostly nod as I listen to Matt, then state ''Yeah, Oz would be super powerful I bet if he were to evolve. I wouldn't be too sure about a Shelgon though. I guess I'll manage though'' I say as I try to sound carefree, as if I wasn't very anxious. Soon enough someone interrupts us, I try to look up but can't see very well. I find an angle where I see him better, and see that it's Kiriha. I knew of him god damn well, and I still wasn't very comfortable with the fact that his Garchomp was the strongest dragon type out there currently, while he isn't even specialized in dragon types. Guess that was a weird thing to be annoyed about.

I was listening to Kiri's talk, but Matt brought me back into the convo. I turn back towards him and smile a little ''Yeah I'm pretty excited about this class. Eh, I haven't found a place to sit at yet to be honest'' I express, while looking around. I think we might not be able to sit for much longer, even if we do find a place. Just a gut feeling though, I give it not much thought. I have some flashbacks in my head of when we first met for some reason, as I looked at Matt for a sec. As I looked at him up-down, like I hadn't previously I actually noticed he was quite buff. That'd be the result of all the training, I suppose.

Jin

What's this ruckus about? I think to myself, as the teacher is apparently here ''finally''. Gym teachers man, they were always so loud. I gave this one an excuse for it though, since there were over a hundred of us here. Should I get out of here? Nah. I'll be fine here, hidden. I hadn't paid attention if anyone had actually noticed me, but hopefully not.

“Ah, no. Don’t worry about it. I just crack under pressure sometimes, y’know?” Though I wish that weren’t the case, it’s Arceus’ honest truth. I’m terrible in the clutch, sometimes I get by on dumb luck. I go back to my time on Castelia City Primary School’s baseball team. It’s the region championship game. Bottom of the ninth, up by one, playing defense. One on, two out. Other team’s got a guy on first base, and their next hitter is up to bat. Crack! Simple pop fly floating into my glove. At first it seems like I catch it, but the force from the ball hitting my glove causes me to lose balance and drop the ball. As I struggle to pick up the ball, I see the guy on first base round the diamond and slide home. A tie is fine, a loss is just unacceptable. With all my might, I throw the ball towards home plate. The catcher has it, but does he have the runner? The umpire signals ‘safe’. I blew it. Up 3 - 2, bottom of the ninth, and I can’t catch a freaking pop fly. We lose the series 4 - 3, and the Castelia City Curse remains.

As I finish my pitiful flashback, I take note of a man standing in the middle of the bleachers. “Looks like the big cheese is here.” I throw my head in his direction to signify his presence. Guess we gotta listen to what this guy’s gotta say, he’s the teacher after all.

Glover
-----------

A bit spaced out, I just notice Page motioning towards the middle area of the bleachers. Seems the gym teach is here. Maybe listening to him lecture for a bit about what we’re doing here might help clear my head.

"Well you can come join my friends and I. I mean, if you want to that is." I'm still a bit hesitant about this, but maybe if she interacts with the rest of the group some it will make it easier for me to be less awkward around her. I hadn't noticed before because she was sitting down, but she is actually rather short. Then again at 5'11 I have a tendency to tower over a lot of people. Not that I'm complaining about her being short, if anything it adds to her charm a little.
