18 Side Story: Red's Dilemma

\\---*Red's Perspective*---//

*Three years prior to the beginning of their adventure.*

"Green, please let me copy your maths homework!"

Is what I wanted to say... But my stupid pride did not allow me to.

Instead of staying up all night watching footage of the elite four's battles, I knew I should have done my assignments...

"Sigh... I guess there's no going back now."

I mentally resigned myself to my inevitable fate and sat down on my seat. Waiting for the math teacher's arrival.

Green was on the desk next to mine, looking unconcerned. He definitely did his work, that guy.

As if though he was reading my mind, Green turned around and stuck his tongue out at me while holding down his lower eyelid.

"Green! You..."

Arrrgh! I'm so mad! But I have to hold it in. He will eventually become my brother-in-law after all, humph!

Before I could start to revel in my own sadness, someone tapped me on the back.

I turned around and saw Shawn looking at me.

Looking down, I saw that he was holding a piece of paper in his hands... Motioning for me to take it.

After he winked at me, he started whistling and started looking at the window next to him. As if nothing had happened there.

I got up and bowed as hard as I could. Shawn wanted to stop me, but I remained in my bow, unmovable.

I then returned to my seat and started to copy it all in a frenzy.

Of course, I made sure that it wasn't all the same.

The teacher arrived just as I finished, leaving me no choice but to stealthily give it back to Shawn behind my back.

After confirming that he got it, I turned to Green, who looked livid.

I then replicated what he did to me earlier, making him even angrier.

What a good feeling.

With a grunt, he looked away and crossed his arms, ignoring me.

Although he did not speak to me for a week after that, It was worth it.

I will forever be grateful to Shawn-San... Who saved my life on that perilous occasion!

Back onto what's really important though, I can't wait to go and see Daisy today. Hehe...
