"W-wha-what're you looking for?"
(ง'̀-'́)ง
"A Fuck to give."

You walked around fumbling with the tag you had latched onto your skirt. '#103' it read, lucky number 3.
"𝘦-𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴, 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵-"

you laughed to yourself remembering how you practically ignored the walking green bean.
You've been here for more hours than you would've like already and barely anyone caught your attention. You opened the orange soda you had been given from the nice man named Tonpa.
"Hey! Tonpa-San! Your drink smells bad!!" You called out to the man who wasn't super far away.
He looked at you wide-eyed before calming down and rubbing his neck nervously. "Ah.. that one must've gone bad. My apologies"
Liar. "Sure.." you sighed and threw the empty can at in a random direction not knowing it hit someone—
"Hey! What was that for!" A voice called out catching your attention. Your head snapped towards the person who called out, it was a boy. He had red-ish hair and some sort of purple bandana on the top.
"oh shoot- I'm so sorry!" In all honesty he was adorable, like Kirby from the video game..
He stopped before shaking his head "it's fine.." he shrugged "what's your name?" He walked closer so you weren't yelling across the room.
"Vera, Vera Violta" you smiled whole-heartedly and he smiled right back "I'm Pokkle" he greeted sticking out a hand.
"you look like Kirby.." you muttered audible to him and him only. He tensed and rubbed the back of his head as his ears grew pink.
"Thanks? Not sure if that was a compliment" he shrugged with a slight smile which you so happily returned.
"you seem cool, let's be friends" you stated holding out your hand when he so happily shook.
"Sure."
★HXH★
Running..
God you hate running..
it's not like you can't run for a long time it's just SO ANNOYING..
At the moment you were running along with the rest of the hunter contestants right next to your new friend Pokkle.
"Fuck this I'm taking out my skates" you rolled your eyes in annoyance reaching in your bag.
"But then you'll leave me behind!!" Pokkle whined and she playfully rolled her eyes. "Keep rolling your eyes and they'll get stuck like that"
you scoffed but smiled anyways. "I'm still taking out my skateboard. You can have my skates if you want. I have more pairs at home anyways.."
"Sure!" He smiled as you took out the skates and handed them to him. Then you took out your black skateboard, on the top it was black but on the bottom is was white, and shiny, splattered with black paint.
"nice skateboard" Pokkle compliment and you hummed in response. You stopped for a second to get settled before beginning to ride your skateboard right next to Pokkle riding your skates.
you speed up going faster than the boy "See you at the end! Slow poke!" You stuck your tongue out at him and sped up even faster swerving through alive and dead contestants.
"V-Vera wait up!" He yelled trying to catch up. With no use he sighed and continued at his normal pace.
You laughed not paying any mind to him. You used your foot to push herself forewords gaining speed.
"HEY YOU" A voice caught your attention. You shifted your gaze to the owner of the voice. It was a tall man wearing a blue suit in which he carried a black suit case.
(Shifting POV sorry it's kinda weird using 'you')
Vera suddenly turned completely to the side both feet resting on the board horizontally looking at the male.
"me?" She pointed at herself confused.
"Yea you! Your disrespecting the exam by using the skateboard!" This made the girl look around hysterically, not going unnoticed by the tall male yelling at her "huh? What's wrong- what're your looking for?" He asked.
"a fuck to give" her expression turned serious as she flicked him off. Someone from behind her laughed at her joke and she turned the other way to see an albino with pale skin laughing, his head slightly lurched back.
"your funny! What's your name?" He asked, then she noticed they were both riding skateboards.
"Vera, you?" She asked a slight smirk appearing on her face.
"Names Killua. You skate too?" He asked a SMALLE smile present of his face.
"No, I don't know how to skate, I'm just riding a skateboard to fall" she said sarcastically.
"well it looks like your gonna-" he was cut off by the loud thud of the girl hitting the ground "-fall" he continued holding in a laugh.
"don't you DARE laugh!" She yelled struggling to get up when a hand appeared in her face offering help. She gladly took it and stood up dusting off her black skirt in the process.
"are you okay?" The person asked. She took this as a chance to view her savior's face. He had large brown eyes, green/black hair, and a green outfit on. In all honesty he looked like a fucking cinnamon roll. (Edit: it's the Jane Doe boots for me)
Although, she then noticed she's been spacing out for too long "OH! Sorry, yea I'm perfectly A-Okay!" She jabbed a finger to her chest.
"I'm Go-"
"No time for introductions unless you guys wanna fail!" Killua called from behind , Vera just now noticing he cared enough to stop and wait for her.
Vera quickly grabbed her skateboard tucking it under her arm and began running with the two new boys who she didn't know would change her life forever.
★HXH★
still FUCKING running. But this time up STEPS.
By now Vera has already forgotten about Pokkle who she so nicely left behind during the beginning.
"Hey how old are you guys?" The new boy ,Killua, asked with an emotionless expression.
"14"
"same here"
"Really? Me as well" Killua smiled. Then there was a uncomfortable silence, but Gon abruptly stopped leaving the two others to stop with him.
"Gon?" Vera asked, Gon was looking behind the trio at the man who was yelling at Vera before for skating. "Leave him let's just go"
He didn't budge whatsoever, but that's when the man who had stopped got a bunch of energy and began sprinting up the stairs.
"WOAH" Vera awed, Gon used his fishing rod to grab the males suitcase which. "GON YOU HAVE TO TEACH ME THAT LATER"
"NU-UH TEACH ME!" Vera whined after Killua.
"I'll show you both later, but let's get through this first phase first" he warned as they began running again.
"I have an idea." Vera proposed catching their attention "a race, to see who's faster! The losers have to buy the winner dinner!" She stuck a finger in the air in a 'lightbulb' moment.
"I'm down!" Killua smirked determined "Me too!" Gon cheered happily.
"Ready-"
"Set-"
"GO!"
the three musketeers blasted off and ran as fast as they could up the stairs. Surprisingly they looked like they all matched speed which would make this race even harder. Soon enough the trio made it to the suitcase man and an adorable blonde teen.
"Hey Kurapika, Leorio!" Gon greeted
"Who?" Vera looked dumbfounded
"This is Kurapika and Leorio, they're friends of mine" Gon introduced. Vera nodded and waved which they did back.
"Im Vera, nice to meet you and whatever, but were in a race so hurry up slow pokes!"Vera yelled at the two new friends she met.
"See ya later old hag!" Killua snorted at Leorio who looked offended.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'OLD HAG' IM A TEENAGER LIKE YOU" he yelled back as time seemed to freeze.
"huh?"
★HXH★
Deciding to ask Leorio about that later, the trio continued running up the stairs.
"I've gotta hand it to you guys, I didn't think could keep up with me" Killua said clutching his skateboard.
"for real?" Vera chuckled nervously with Gon.
"or maybe, they're all so slow you seem fast." Killua lowered his head gesturing to the people falling behind.
"HEY! ARE YOU CALLING ME SLOE" Vera yelled
"man, I thought the hunter exam would be more of a challenge" Killua practically ignored Vera's yelling "this is boring!"
"hey!" Gon chirped catching their attention "why do you guys want to be a hunter?"
"who me? who said I ever wanted to be a hunter?" Killua shrugged pointing to himself.
"ditto"
Gon looked in confusion. "I honestly just heard the exam was supposed to be a challange, it sounded fun so here I am. But it's not as fun as I'd hoped."
then they looked at Vera for an answer and she sighed. "Honestly, I just wanted to prove a point to my family that I don't need them to do anything for me." She shrugged not wanting to go into detail. The boys decided not to pry and that she'll explain later "what about you gon?"
"im going to find my dad! You see, my dads a hunter, so I decided I was gonna be a hunter just like him! No matter what!"
"hm, so what kind of hunter is he?" Killua asked and Vera nodded.
"no idea!" He said cheerfully. The two looked at him and bursted out laughing.
"For real!? You want to find your dad, who is a hunter, but you have no idea what KIND of hunter? How are you going to find him like that?!" Vera tilted her head back and laughed whole heartedly, the two looked at her for a moment before looking straight ahead.
Gon sweat dropped "mito is the one who raised me, she told me a little but I've only ever seen him in pictures she showed me from a long time ago!"
"wait so whos mito?" Killua asked
"she's my aunt!"
"ah.."
"She said my dad took the hunters exam when he was only 14 too!" Gon smiled determined. "He passed his first try and became a hunter, that's when he decided to leave the island! So I came here to find out why he chose being a hunter over staying at home with me!"
"woah.. that's deep bro" Vera commented them a white light appeared up a head.
"THE EXIT!" Someone yelled.
The trio glanced at eachother with a determined smile as they sped up passing through everyone.
