Laura sat quiet.  She was scared as she looked over her shoulder as she shook a bit.  She eyed rhe girl wearing the frog costume blushing.  She saw the blu haired man and shook her head slightly.  He was cute in a different kind if way.  She heard the notice of all clear as she ran her hand over the micronized pokeball.  She wouldnt let him out, not yet.  She knew a lot about the pokes of most region, this one would be ever so different.  She grinned for a moment then her face went somber.<br/><br/>Laura was thinking back to school again.  Helping her mom at the center got her picked on by all the boys at the time.  She sighed in thought as she looked around.  The male with the brown hair made her flutter sliggtly but then she shook her head looking down.  She sighed as she bit her bottom lip in thought.  She remembered high school and her first attempt at love and grimaced.  He had been a pretty boy too, leading her on and letting her shoe up alone with no one there to meet her but a laugh.  They mocked her even more that night.  And it never stopped.  She bit her lip curling in the corner in her chair seeing everyone talk and get more comfortable with eachother.<br/><br/>She forced a smile as she thought to herself that it could be different.  She sighed as her smile faded while looking over their clothes.  She just shook her head and looked about the room.  A few of them already talking and making friends.  She just looked down and sigged the silence would probably protect her here better than anything.  Silence and she would focus for badges.  That would make mom happy.  Dad always told her she didn't need people if she was a good enough trainer.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
