She would not have felt hurt by this, would she? Surely, she laughed until she her sides split. He didn't do anything wrong, right? Then why did it feel like he messed up? He stared at his phone awaiting a message from Kaori with a weird intensity until he shoved it back into his pocket. [color=6ecff6]"Why am I getting so worked up over that gremlin?"[/color] Isaiha asked himself with suspiciously warm cheeks. Cinder though stared at his trainer for being the dumbass that he truly was. This trainer was one of the most intelligent people in the region, personally selected by one of the most prestigious university programs in the world, an incredibly competent trainer, and yet somehow the Chimchar watched Isaiha make the greatest fumble that it in its admittedly short life. The fire ape looked both disappointed and disgusted by the sheer cowardice of Isaiha. "Chim, chim char. Chim chim!" Chastised a very annoyed Cinder. With hot cheeks Isaiha protested, [color=6ecff6]"I did not wuss out!"[/color] He glared at the Chimchar who in turn returned a gaze of absolutely being sick of Isaiha's shit. Isaiha sighed heavily and ruffled his Chimchar's tuft of fur on its head. [color=6ecff6]"We're just friends, that's it. There's no need to make it any more awkward."[/color] He smiled softly at the Chimchar as if this was a fact to be accepted and yet, it felt like there was a hand that gripped his shoulder tightly, an anxiety that lurked behind him. It whispered ever so intrusively in his ear,[color=6ecff6] [i]"Besides, why should she want a loser who ran away from everything?"[/i][/color] Isaiha shook his head as if to shake the unwelcomed thoughts and continued on his way to the main hall. Eventually he would find himself in the main building of the campus. Technically he had no reason to be there yet; his first class would not start for a little bit, but he wanted to get there early enough to be able to make a good impression on the lecturer. Well, it was to be expected to be there on time, but it was still worth the try! He walked around looking for the lab or lecture hall that he would need to find for class until he saw two familiar figures down the hall: the ever-messy looking Jason Yew with an uncharacteristically clean lab coat talking to some shortie in a trucker hat. Wait... Oh shit. That was Kaori. This was way too awkward for Isaiha. He did not even know what to say to her. What could he even say to her? Yeah, no, he was just going to walk away and hide at school cafeteria until it was time for class. Well, that was what he was going to do, except Cinder instantly leapt off his shoulder and Kaori would soon feel the weight of the Chimchar crawling up from her leg to her shoulder. "Chim!" It greeted quite happily before shooting a mischievous look at Isaiha. [i][color=6ecff6]"Et tu Cinder,"[/color][/i] thought Isaiha before he cleared his throat awkwardly. [color=6ecff6]"Alola Jason, Riri."[/color] God he just wanted to hide. Meanwhile, Cinder would eventually climb down her and approach Kaori's Pokemon. "Chim, chim chim char?" Roughly translated it went like this, "So, was your trainer a blushing idiot too or was it just mine?"
