Chapter 2: All Aboard the SS Stern, Part One.

Raymin
Okay. Let's get something straight first: I have a huge fear of heights...
Yes. That's right. I admit it. I'm scared of heights. But, I don't mean like the kind of heights where it's like up high. It's sort of weird, but I'm just scared of having my feet being lifted off the floor. Basically, I'm scared of floating.
Oh, wait. Yeah. That works. I'm scared of floating.
Alex is evil. He's full of evil. He's carrying me and refusing to place me down on the floor for the sole reason of keeping me from running. And before you say anything else, I wasn't planning to run...not really. I mean...if I go off course for a little whilejust a little bitwould that really count as running off? I don't think so. Therefore, this guy right here is technically kidnapping me. Yup. He's kidnapping me. A kidnapper. Shame, Alex. For shame. I can't believe you've resorted to kidnapping people.
As I suck my teeth at Alex in my head (I didn't actually do it...if I did, who knows what he would have done to me...), I slowly back away from resting my face on his neck. Alex has really pretty features (not that he'd ever admit it). His hair is black, but when the sun shines on it--like it does right nowI can always see stars in the spots that shine. And well, his eyes? His eyes are sort of weird. They're mostly green. If you look really closely, you can see specks of different shades. I like it. When I look at Alex, I feel like I'm staring at the whole entire worldpackaged all neatly into the shape of one person.
"Alright, we're here, Ray," Alex whispers into my hair. I feel him kiss my head as he gently places my feet on the ground. To be honest, I sort of like Alex--I think.
"Mhmm," I say to him, as I straighten out my clothes and look at the building in front of us. We're in front of my day-care and I swallow hard.
As the front door opens a little bit, I try to make a turn to start running. But, of course, I can't. Alex is already holding my hand and I can feel my entire body growing a bit warm. I don't really know what the feeling can be called, but I felt it.
"Raymin!" I heard a girl call out to me. It was my sister-in-law, Melissa.
I force a smile on my face and nervously wave hi to her as I try to hide behind Alex's tall figure. Alex is six feet, which is a good five feet taller than me.
"Come out from hiding, Raymin. You know I don't bite," I hear her coo in that voice of hers. "Look, I even got some new dresses for you to try outand if you like, bring them with you to Kanto."
"...oh...o--okay...," I answer.
Now, look. It's not like I'm scared of Melissa, it's justshe scares me... Yeah, I know. It's confusing. But like, I really like Melissa. She's pretty awesome when she doesn't look at me like a little dress up doll for her to play with. I go to her for advice every now and again (because my feelings really confuse me sometimes) and she usually gives me good advice. But, Melissa...she teases me a lot...and it always makes me feel embarrassedespecially when I'm with both Alex and Kevin (which I am, right now. Or will be, in a moment).
"Come on, Ray. Go with Melissa. You have to go collect your pokemon and PokeDex anyways," Alex tells me.
"...mhmm..."

--;
I'm going to cut the chapter short here.
I started it in present tense speak and honestly, I'm horrible at present tense stories. I've written a lot of things, and only one of them uses present tense. Just one.
ONE.
I'll come back with a part two, in past tense writing form.
But yeah.
Raymin. Crushing. On. Alex.
Ahahahahaha.
I don't even know if they will really be canon.
