I might not be here for tomorrow morning, so here I post the second chapter. This is my official first story ever posted in public like this, so pardon my habits in the grammars if I use one word or so. As for future stories, I might need a few fans willing to say post more...but I might post one I review the following chapter. I have been working on this story for so long(months) and wishing for others to read it (months as well.) Enjoy. Maybe then will the story unfold a bit for you.
-1- School
"This is the room I live in!" Veemon replied, pointing at his room inside a tree house. In this place, everybody had a tree house either high up or on the ground. Each person had a roommate of the same gender, Veemon being Coronamon's roommate. Salamon had this girl that was a plant....Floramon she believed it was. From the looks of it, Lopmon might get nobody, but she loved being alone rather than with somebody actually.
"That's all I have to show you, I'm tired already," Veemon whined, Atina following him hot on his heels. They walked out of the forest and into the fields. Gazing around, she got used to walking without tripping over her long, rabbit ears. She loved her color scheme and design, falling in love with herself. After minutes passed by, they both reached a school in the middle of an open field. She wondered if it ever got attacked, being so open like that.
"You can take school if you want...I take it to control my powers an such," he told her, staring at his school. It had no title or giant letters that showed what the school was called, so she took it as the only school here. The way Veemon said the word 'powers' made her think of her powers. If she were to train, then maybe she can find a way out to her real human body.
"Maybe I can attend there...I might be able to digivolve my way to safety," she responded, smiling at the thought of gaining more power.
Veemon immediately smiled at the thought. He grabs her hand and pulls her towards the school. She knew what he was trying to do. Just flowing with the flow, he burst open the door without breaking it and walked to be in front of all the current digimon in the class. Luckily, they were all In-Training, so Lopmon didn't worry for her nervous habit since they weren't her age, for now.
Veemon turned around and faced the teacher, who was a Lillymon. She heard of her, but could never figure out the true power, even though people say it is a powerful digimon or such...it was hard to believe from something that small. The female digimon turned and faced Veemon, smiling while doing so.
"Veemon? What brings you here. Knowing you, you'd be playing your games with Coronamon and Wormmon," Lillymon responded at him. Her eyes then caught sight of Lopmon. She seems to grow suspicious and puzzled inside her, but managed to keep a smile somehow. Veemon grasped Lopmon's hands, only to point at her with his other hand.
"She wants to join your class teacher!" Veemon spoke, excited. Her smile twinkled with excitement. Her hands reached down for the rabbit, and later gave her a huge bear hug.
"Awww, so sweet of you to join! You're the first to join by will!" she said, excited.
"I....am?" she repeated, now worried the others might make fun of her now once she or Veemon spill it out. "I need to go....talk to....Wormmon," Lopmon said in between embraces. Lillymon realized what she was doing and let go of the embrace, Lopmon breathing in and out to gain air into her. Once done, Lopmon walked out of the school, Veemon behind her, and let him close the door for her.
"I never said you could attend me right away," Lopmon told Veemon.
"Better late than never!" he chirps. Ignoring him, Lopmon caught sight of something shiny far off into the distance. Squinting to get a better view, Wormmon appeared out of nowhere into her face, terrifying her. Screaming from horror and the fact he scared her, she trips over her ears and falls back, breathing.
"Lopmon!" Veemon yelled, helping her up. Wormmon felt guilty.
"I'm....I-sorry for getting you scared. I only had something to tell you that was very important," he apologized. As Lopmon balanced herself, she caught sight of that same shiny thing far off into the distance. Curious, she squinted her eyes again to get a better view of that shiny "thing". Before she could tell what it was, it suddenly blurrs out of her sight, getting her utterly confused. Veemon looked at where her eyes were headed, yet found nothing interesting except grass and more trees.
"Are you okay? Did I scare you that badly?" Wormmon asked with worry.
"Ahh? Oh, no. I was just deep in thought and you came out of nowhere, sorry if I scared you," she apologized to him. He accepted it and walked foward, both Lopmon and Veemon following. Once they were out of sight from the school and inside the forest, Wormmon halted and turned to face her, nervous.
"Look. Ati-I mean Lopmon, Salamon is a very.....rough girl," Wormmon started.
"Very rough?" Veemon asked, now confused. Wormmon shot him a look, and Veemon immediately understood what he was trying to say to her.
"Salamon is very protective, and gets very jealous very easily," he went on. Lopmon listened, rather confused but all ears. She nodded at every sentence.
"I'm only telling you this to warn you that Salamon might prank you or-"
Veemon then interrupted by stepping in front of Wormmon, "-or making your life miserable," he finished. Wormmon swallowed his anger, and calmed down. It was then that Salamon appeared into the scene all innocent.
"Hey! Wormmon, I..." she started, yet stopped once she layed eyes on Lopmon. She grew upset, yet somehow hid the anger swelling inside her.
"I need you to help Bearmon get back his cap. It's on the highest branch, highest tree!"
"Karma....just can't describe how Karma is," Veemon added in. Lopmon wanted to speak her mind out, but after what Wormmon and Veemon said, she withdrew. Wormmon agreed to help her, and rushed to her aid as they ran back where Bearmon was last seen. Veemon stayed with Lopmon, bored and wanting to help them as well.
"So.....Lopmon....I'm bored."
"So am I," she agrees, now sitting on the ground. He sits beside her, full of energy from the way he was jumpy. She gazed at him, curious to know him. "Veemon."
"Hmmm?"
"Aren't there any parents here?" she asked, wondering why she hasn't seen any except the teacher and a few others wandering around. He looked down, his mood plummeting from her question. As soon as she noticed, she realized her choice of words and apologized heavily, making Veemon laugh after 20 "sorry's".
"Salamon is not like you at all," he admits, rubbing his head. She gazes at him, wondering how Salamon really acts like. From what she hears, she appears to be very snobby and preppy...the type she hates. "I don't like Salamon, so it's a good thing."
"And why do you hate her?" Lopmon asked, curious. He lies down on the grass, hands behind his head and looking at the sky. The trees blocked 1/3 of the view.
"One word.....prep. She's very jealous and never wants to be the fifth wheel at all, but the worst part is the fact she always wants us to do it her way, or else she just hates on them for a week at most. I call that not growing up," Veemon gossiped. Lopmon laughed, agreeing since she compared Salamon to a human classmate.
"Well, we gotta go!" Veemon spoke as he sprung up to his feet. She stood up lazily, making Veemon chuckle at the way she did so. He suddenly turns around and faces her, worried. "Don't tell Salamon I said that about her! She actually likes me, so if she were to hear this....she'd hate me like a bee hates a wasp!" he warned her.
"No worries....besides, a bee doesn't always hate a wasp," she corrected him. He calms down, knowing she wouldn't spill their secret. Problem was that Wormmon, Bearmon, and now Lopmon knew. Coronamon would only lecture him if he listened to Veemon, so he'd rather not tell him at all. Walking towards the school building, Wormmon was seen with Salamon and Bearmon with his cap back on his head, happy.
"Lopmon, hello," Salamon said out of the blue. Lopmon grew confused, as well as Veemon and Bearmon. Wormmon looked as if he knew she was going to say it. The prep forced a smile on her face, yet Lopmon was able to see through it and seems to ignore her....more out of nervous reasons though. As all 5 digimon approached the school, Coronamon was already waiting by the door, leaning against the wall and arms crossed. He was always impatient when it came to school.
Once all 5 made it to where Coronamon was, the school, Salamon rushed inside. Bearmon followed suit. Veemon was eager to enter, yet waited for both Lopmon and Coronamon to enter with. For some odd reason, Lopmon felt all strange inside. She ignored the feeling and became proud for who she was...a rookie of a future Deva.
"Lopmon?" Veemon urged her. She woke up to her senses and rushed in with Veemon, Coronamon and Wormmon behind them. It was when she entered that she realized not many attended this school....unless there were not that many teens. There were 5 tables, each table being a group of 4 since there were 4 groups. The problem was, Wormmon and Veemon were already taken. Salamon was with Bearmon sitting with another two, who were a Palmon and Patamon. Out of all 5 groups, one was missing two....the one at the very back beside Salamon's group.
There were 2 digimon, one being a Labramon and the other a Flamemon. The Labramon was a girl with white fur, and pink on both ears and tail. Having two pink triangular marks, on both of her cheeks, she seems to stare at the dog while giving Lopmon a neutral stare. Flamemon, on the other hand, gives Lopmon quite a shy smile, waving Lopmon as she just seems to debate something on her mind. He had a humanoid body with huge, puffy orange hair with broken visible horns. Having green pupils, he had elf-like ears with a circular earring on each ear. His tail was quite bushy, only wearing pants and showing the white, circular marks on his chest.
Lopmon walked towards the group, only to be grasped on the shoulder by the teacher without her knowing.
"We have a new student it seems!" Lillymon squealed with excitement. "May you introduce yourself?"
Lopmon hesitated, nervous and packed inside herself. She grew out of her shell either way, not wanting to ruin her reputation like in the human world. "I-Lopmon is my name. I don't feel comfortable saying me real name, so....," she trails off, only to be revived by Veemon giving her a thumbs up. She seems to recover her happiness thanks to Veemon. "I'm new, so just bear with this newbie," she spoke with a neutral, boring voice.
"Ahh, Lopmon...I thought I'd never get to see one!" Lillymon cheered. Suddenly, one digimon from group 3 raised her hand. Lillymon called on her, singing.
"I thought Lopmon were only meant to be from a male evolutionary line, is that not right Miss Lillymon?" the Floramon asked. Every digimon stared at Lopmon, her nervous habit now starting to take effect. She was able to stop the urge of biting her nails, but in this case, claws.
"Oh! I almost forgot Floramon.....Lopmon....are you a girl?" she asked, wondering.
"Ehh?!? Of course I'm a girl!" Lopmon said, flushed that Lillymon wouldn't recognize her voice nor body as female. She seems to apologize, being a joke, and let her off to table 5, the last group the dog and humanoid digimon were at. She sat on the farthest chair away, the very last chair in the room. Labramon doesn't seem to mind a bit, while Flamemon glanced at Lopmon's direction once every minute.
The class started just like any school, even the human ones. They started role calling and asking morning questions, the usual. It was until it stroke noon that lunch time came. The female teacher gives everyone a meal she prepared herself, especially meant for rookies, her highest level class. She told everybody that a Champion class was old enough to recognize their teachings and mistakes, unlike Rookies. All Lopmon was able to catch was that you need to be trained at a certain point to digivolve.
"Enjoy!" she chirps, now eating her meal outside of class to give the class some alone time. Suddenly, out of nowhere, nearly everybody raced to over where Lopmon was. Scared and stunned, everyone asked questions and stared at her. She flushed with not only embarrasment, but being in a crowd that was too much for her. It was until one of them asked about her evolution line that they talked about today that Lopmon realized that all this time, the lesson was on about Lopmon's history and evolution line. She was amazed at how much Lillymon was excited to have her here. She then decided to answer the questions she could...or the ones she wanted to.
"Are you really a girl!"
"Yes."
"Do you like somebody?"
"No."
"Do you want to have a partner?"
"What? Not really."
"Are you really a Lopmon? The rookie Deva?!?
"Yes, exactly. Awesome, I know."
"Are you really powerful?"
"I don't know, I just entered this school to know all this."
"Do you want to be my sister?"
"I don't know you, sorry."
The questions kept falling to her, making her dizzy, yet quite popular. She hated the popularity however. Out of all digimon, Coronamon and Wormmon and a few others seems to wide-eye Lopmon, not knowing who she really was until school was taught. Suddenly, Lillymon came in and every single digimon raced to their seat, all innocent and sweet for her.
"I'm back! Oh! Lopmon? Do you want to explain your likes and dislikes?" Lillymon offered. Lopmon refused, yet Veemon interrupted before she could answer.
"She does!" he announced. Lopmon only mumbled his name, now regreting ever coming here. She stood and walked to the front of the school. Now at the front, she was placed by the teacher on her desk to get full attention.
"Ahem. I like the color black and red and blue. My favorite animals are bears, rodents, and dolphins. I like to play video games and sleep," she explained. Lillymon urged for her to continue. "I hate the color yellow for some odd reason....and the color orange is okay, but what I hate the most is the preps. Preppy people hate me, and I hate them back. I also love music and actually hate the ridiculous and cheaters."
"Good resume Lopmon!" Lillymon started clapping. Eventually, the whole class applauded for her, making her blush a bit. Once she went back to her seat, she spent the rest of the class bored. Complicated words and evolutions were being said as the lesson. It was until the bell rang that she woke up, 3 minutes until they leave school.
Leaning her head up, she noticed Flamemon was staring at her, his eyes dreamy and full of regret. Labramon was listening to every word. What she liked about this class is the fact that she was so far ahead in her human class that this seemed like first instincts to her...except the evolution and battle part. She slept through the whole lesson, now not knowing whether she lost some lesson that could've saved her life later on. The bell suddenly rang, everybody marching outside. Labramon slowly made it out, yet Flamemon seems to walk very slow to his way out, as if expecting something.
"Hello!" Veemon suddenly retorted.
"AHHH!" she yelled from fright, her chair flipping and hitting her head on the floor. She grasped her head and stood up, now holding her pain all inside for later to explode with awful insults.
"Lopmon!" he yelled, helping her up. She seems to ignore his help, walking on her own out the school. No matter she feared school, especially digimon school. Once out of the door, Wormmon and Coronamon were waiting for them. Coronamon faced them both, amazed and with interest he never had for days.
"Lopmon....where did you come from?" he asked her. She shrugs.
"I just woke up as one. I guess I fell out of the sky," she guessed.
"Are you.....a digimon? Lopmon's percent of being a female is quite low," Coronamon continued. Wormmon agreed and nodded. Lopmon seemed offended.
"Well....I don't really know why I'm a Lopmon...to tell you the truth, I could've been anything besides a Lopmon," she started to reveal. Veemon and Coronamon seemed shocked. Suddenly, she saw that shiny thing from earlier. Thinking it was just her head, she ignored and wanted to hear their reactions. Before Wormmon could ask her a question, that same shiny thing grows. When Lopmon looked at that direction, she realized it wasn't growing, but it was getting closer! It suddenly seems to hop and aim for Lopmon. Before she could react, there was an explosion in the area.
