Savannah Winters - Green
Savannah woke up with a jolt, the loud hum of floor polishers and vacuums filling her ears. She rubbed the "sand" from her eyes, and looked around. The battle gym was completely empty, and the janitors were now coming in for regular cleaning. "Aww, dang it, Kiki! Why didn't you wake me up?" Savannah heard no response. "Kiki!" again, there was no response from the Togepi. Savannah started to worry. What if she had wandered off? What if she was taken when the other students were leaving? What if Kiki didn't love her anymore? All those thoughts were abolished when Savannah heard a loud yawn behind her. She stood up, and right in tge crevice between the rows of the bleachers was her Togepi, still wearing her sunglasses. "You fell asleep too?" Savannah asked to her Pokemon. The Togepi nodded its head, still in a sleep-induced haze, and started lying back down. "Oooh no you don't. Come on, we're here." Savannah reached over and scooped up Kiki into her arms. Once the Togepi was secured, Savannah strolled over to a janitor that was wiping off a set of bleachers. "Excuse me sir, when did we arrive at the academy?" she asked, hoping the answer wasn't drastic. "Hmmm...wha-oh yes. We arrived maybe about an hour ago."
Sixty minutes. In those sixty minutes, nobody had thought to wake up the sleeping girl that might've wanted to actually make it to orientation on time. But noooo, people here were too selfish to bother with the tiniest problems. "Thanks...I guess." Savannah muttered to the janitor. She made sure she had a tight grip on Kiki and sprinted to the deck of the ship.
Savannah was completely out of breath by the time she reached the arena. In between her struggles to fill her lungs with air, she could hear parts of Headmaster Richards speech about "goals and ambitions and dreams and becoming the greatest Pokemon Master who ever set foot on the Earth". It was the same each year, but Savannah wouldn't really know. She's been late to orientation each year since her days in the Red House, no exceptions. It really wasn't her fault, (well, it probably was) but there was no reason to stick around for the speech unless you were a first year student. After finally adopting a normal breathing pattern, she started searching for an empty seat. She saw a patch of free seats all the way on the other side of stadium, which would probably take a year to get to, but they were the only seats she saw. After working her way over to her seat in the maze of a stadium, she was finally able to rest. She sat down, tilted her head back, and was ready to listen to the speech. "And this concludes the Pokemon Regional Academy orientation. In an organized manner, please make your way to your respective colored dorms." and with that, the Headmaster finished his speech and dissappeared underneath the stadium. "OH, COME ON!" Savannah shouted, causing many seated near her to turn their heads and give funny looks. It was just her luck that she would have to make a journey across the stadium again right after sitting down. She stood up, and marched towards the exit.
Savannah wanted to kill herself. Not in the literal sense, but she was getting there. She had finally managed to get out of that god-forsaken stadium, and make her way to the Green dormitory. She was one of the last to reach the dorm, so the lobby was completely filled, and was harder to navigate than the stadium. To make matters worse, she was second in line to receive her dorm key, just behind some dork who was worried about his "Allergies" and that there was a "life-threatening mold problem in his room". What a wuss. He should just man up and take the room. Some people actually wanted to get to their rooms before the day was over. The conflict was finally resolved when the boy had an asthma attack and was taken to the dormitory's nurse. Savannah stepped up to the desk and stated her info. "Savannah Winters, 17." "Ah yes, Miss Winters. You are in Room...721. Here's your key. Next!" Savannah was ecstatic. Not because she had to walk up seven flights of stairs everyday, but because her room was on the 7th floor. Last year, the 7th floor was party central in the Green dorm. Only students who lived on that floor were invited, so Savannah was excited that she would finally be able to attend a "Lucky 7 Party".
Savannah finally found her room, 721, which was conveniently located next to the Laundry Room. She fiddled with the key, but finally got the doir open. Once inside, she set her bags down and admired the room. It was totally better than the room she had last year. Or any year, for that matter. She put Kiki down to let her explore while she walked over to the window. The view was spectacular; she had an ocean view! She could literally spit and it would land on somebody lounging in the sand. She jumped on her bed, and wondered how much better this year could get.
