Gabriel went straight back to her dorm. She sat down on her bed and silently thought for a minute. She never cried over anything, especially not in front of other people.Guilt shot through her every time she looked at Absol's Pokeball, sitting on the table next to her bed. She stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes were red and her face was tear stained, her too-long fringe was hanging over her eyes as usual. Gabriel stood up and went to the bathroom sink, where she washed her face and gave herself some time to breathe. After she had finished, her face looked more normal, but her eyes were still slightly pink, so she let her fringe fall over her eyes, covering most of it with a shadow.
She went back to her bed, and grabbed Absol's Pokeball and her bag. If she didn't show up to next class it would seem too suspicious. Gabriel sighed, she would have to take a trip to the nurses office, to get Absol's Pokeball charged up again. Next class was a free period anyway, plenty of time to grab a snack as well. Speaking of snacks, she pulled out the packet of nuts from her pocket. It only took her a second to remember who she had got them for.
Within seconds, she was out of her dorm, retracing her steps, calling out for her two Pokemon as she ran.
