irst Day of School

My alarm went off. I hate that sound. And I don't miss it. I should just change it from the annoying beeping to some tune I'm interested in. But that won't necessarily be a good thing since I'm not annoyed by anything besides two things: Ash being nonobservant of other people and that loud and annoying beeping sound that only digital alarm clocks can make. But then, I was practically crushed by Quilava flopping down on top of me.

"Qui Quilava." the pokemon said.

I grumbled and got up from my bed and got ready for school. The first day of junior year. Has this long and tiring school journey finally come to junior year, eleventh grade? The year of the ring ceremony and the ring dance (also known as the junior prom). I sighed and continued my way to getting ready before making my way down the stairs to see my Lucario and mom's Wartortle helping her with getting breakfast for the rest of us.

Dad works early in the morning from about seven (so he has to leave at about six before I even wake up) for his job. Mom works both at home and at the Pokemon center whenever she can. My mom is what we call a Pokemon Therapist. What she does is if the relationship (or bond) of a pokemon with its trainer has threaded a little, then she tries to find the root of the problem and fix it from there.

I sat down at the counter in the kitchen. Lucario passed me my breakfast plate with a simple greeting of "Lucario". I ate my breakfast before grabbing my bag and walking out of the house with Flareon at my feet to be met with Ash Ketchum by a red jeep with a Pikachu grinning at me from inside the passenger seat.

"Hey, [Y/N]? You like the car mom got me for my sixteenth birthday?" asked Ash with a sheepish grin on his face.

I hmphed. "Are you mature enough to drive?"

"Well, obviously or else my mom wouldn't have let me get my liscense let alone my permit. Hehehe." Ash chuckled. "So, do you want a ride?"

"Actually, I'll just take the..." and there goes the bus leaving our street. "Fine."

I hopped into the Jeep with Flareon following after me. Pikachu jumped into my lap as did Flareon as Ash got into the driver seat. I held onto the mouse and fox pokemon as Ash drove to our high school. All the while we were in the car, it was quiet. Which was totally not like Ash at all. Even when everyone else was quiet, he was an intense chatterbox that most often would not shut up even if someone told him to shut up.

Ash pulled into the junior parking lot and I hopped out of the jeep as soon as he placed the jeep into park. I grabbed my bag and Flareon in my arms. Ash's footsteps could be heard by what I guess was running as I opened up the door to high school. He ran up to it just as the door closed on him after I entered the building making Ash slam into the door. He fell on his butt to which Pikachu had some choice words and phrases for me.

It's not my fault I'm angry with Ash. He started it. I walked to my first class: AP English Language. Why did I even decide to take this class? I sat down at the desk that held my name on it. I'm just glad that Ash won't be in this class. Wait. WHAT?! WHAT IS HE DOING IN HERE?! I THOUGHT HE WAS AN IDIOT!

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!" I shouted as I pointed at him.

"Oh me?" Ash pointed to himself with a dumbstruck expression on his face.

"YES YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I yelled at him.

"Oh, my mom wanted me to take a couple of AP classes this year. And I thought why not take AP English. An Emglish AP class shouldn't be that hard right. It's just English." he said.

Oh, he's going to regret ever saying that when this year is over with.

Note of the Chapter:
Even though this is a Modern AU, there are pokémon (so why would you read a pokemon fabfic with the titular creatures). At school, students and teachers are allowed to bring their Pokemon to school, but only their starter pokemon. The reason the reader can bring her Flareon is because she and her parents found a stray Evee and asked Professor Oak if the female Evee could be her starter and he said yes.
