Chapter 1 : Last day of summer.

The Sun touched down onto Slateport City deeming that it was the final day of summer, otherwise known as Labour Day. The high ways and streets soon filled with different types of vehicles as families set off to enjoy their final day of freedom before the school year started once more. But for some families, school had already started. Today was enrollment day for Slateport Academy, a private high school where students resided in dorms and lived on campus. Coincidentally this was it's first year of enrolling students.

On the road traveling towards Slateport was the Maple family . Driving in their Lincoln SUV was Norman, Caroline, Max, and May along with her friend Misty. May and Misty were to be enrolled today into the 10th grade. It was currently 2pm and enrollment started at 3. May was listening to music on her iPhone and Misty was currently on her iPod touch playing angry birds. Max was on his Nintendo DSi XL playing Pokemon White.

"Are we almost there Dad?" May asked bored. She then looked outside to see a sign that said, 'Slateport City- 4km' and heard the GPS say 'Take ramp 427 then arrive at Slateport Academy.'

"Never mind" She said as she rolled her eyes as her father smirked.

After about 5 minutes the family pulled up in front of a large silver gate that read 'Slateport Academy'

in big bold lettering. They pulled into the closest parking lot and got out of the car. Misty who was lost in her game suddenly put her head up and looked around as she pulled her head phones out.

"oh we're here?" she asked confused about the time.

"Uh yeah, where have you been the past 45 minutes?" May asked sarcastically pulling out her red suitcases.

"Pawning asses" Misty said nonchalantly causing them both to laugh.

Misty pulled out her aqua suitcases and put her iPod in her pocket.

"Alright now May are you sure you don't want me to come sign you in?" Caroline asked her daughter.

"No mom I'm perfectly fine, honest. I'm a big girl now so I'm capable of doing this on my own." May said.

Caroline smiled and started tearing. "I know you are. It's just that I'm going to miss you so much dear. I'm going to miss waking you up in the morning and making your breakfast. Doing your laundry, and taking you to softball practices and your band meetings. So you need to come home for every single holiday, you got that? Every single one including Halloween-" She said choking up.

"But I can't do that mom, but I promise I'll come home for the big ones and every long weekend OK?"

May said reassuringly.

"OK" Caroline said smiling as she wiped her tears away with her sleve.

Norman then stepped up to his daughter and gave her a tight hug. "I'm going to miss you the exact same" He said quietly also getting choked up. "you have the number so call anytime and I'll make the drive up here to get you."

"I promise I will Dad" May said. She then walked over to her younger brother. May smirked as her brother was also tearing.

"Max don't cry bud. I'm going to miss you too." May said bending down to hug her brother. Max hugged back too.

May then walked over to Misty and she thanked May's parents. They both finished their goodbyes to May's family and walked into the gate.

Their faces both made 'O's as they walked along the paths.

"wow" Misty muttered.

"yeah" May returned.

They found their way over to the registration desk to see a long line filled with other students. They stood in line for about 5 minutes when 4 guys made their way over to the line and got in behind them. One was around average height, about 5'10, he had black spiky hair and brownish eyes. The one behind him had bright green hair and matching eyes. He was around 6'2. The next one had brown spiky hair and brown eyes, he was tall as in like 6'4. The last one was also around 6'4, had dark purple hair and dark eyes.

May's POV

I looked away immediately not wanting to catch any attention, but unfortunately Misty acted the exact opposite.

"Hey I'm Misty, and this is my friend May" she said as I sighed. Now she had dragged me into this.

"Oh hey! My names Ash, Ash Ketchum." The black haired one said proudly. "Oh and these are my friends, Gary Oak," The brown haired one waved. "Drew Hayden" The green haired one smirked and did a hair flip. "and Paul Allen" The Purple hair one gave us nod and looked away again.

"Sorry I should have been more formal. My name is Misty Waterflower, and this is my friend May Maple." Misty said.

"So where are you guys from?" the one known as Gary asked.

"I'm from Cerulean City" Misty told them

"Cool, me and Ash are from Pallet Town." Gary answered.

"I'm from La Rouse City" Drew said.

"Veilstone City" Paul said bored

"Where are you from?" Gary asked me

"Oh I'm from Petalburg City" I told him, slightly embarrassed as I felt heat rush to my cheeks.

"So um since we're all new do you guys want to join us for dinner tonight?" Drew said flipping his hair casually.

I sighed as Misty answered flirtatiously "We'd love to! Right May?" She asked elbowing me. I glared at her as I nodded my head.

"Great, so how about we meet over at that fountain at 6?" Drew asked pointing towards a crystal coloured fountain.

"Sounds great!" Misty said winking as we moved to the registration desk

"May Maple and Misty Waterflower you are in the Latias Dorm in room 196 and here are your schedules." The registration lady said to us.

"This is great hey May! It's the first day we've already met 4 cute boys who are obviously into us and we've already have a date too" Misty said happily as we walked to our dorm.

"ahaa" I said. I sighed 'I'm not looking forward to this at all'.

We approached our dorm when we heard a shrill scream. It was so high pitched I felt shivers go down and come back up my back. Misty looked at me and had one eyebrow arched. We walked down the corridor until we reached the last door on the right. I took the key the registration lady had given us and opened the door.

I was surprised actually. It was a fairly large room that had a set of bunk beds and 2 single beds. It was painted blue on 2 walls and light purple on the others and had white trim. There was a couch up against the window, which had a small seat on the window sill. And across from it was an average plasma TV mounted on the wall. Below was a small refigerator and a small coffee table. Beside the first single bad were 2 walk in closets and across from them was a bathroom. I walked across the room and sat up on the window sill.

"This isn't so bad. I mean we'll need to give it a personal touch but this school is pretty generous, Just imagine how much money they must of spent." Misty said as she put on her thinking face.

I laughed. "I wonder who our room mates will be?" I said to her.

"Please no screamers, please no screamers, please no screamers." Misty chanted. I smirked.

"Ahhhhhhh!" We heard as we turned around.

A very petite girl was standing in the door way staring at the door frame. She had dark blue hair that was pulled back by 2 gold berets. She was wearing sunglasses on her head and was wearing white short shorts and a pink strapless tank top. Outside the door were about 4 large hot pink suit cases.

"Whats wrong?" I asked confused. She then lifted up her arm and pointed at the door fram. I walked over and saw a massive black spider with red eyes crawling up the frame. Now I usually keep my cool but there are 3 things that I cannot stand which are Spiders, well any bug really, Snakes, and thunder storms.

"Oh my god!" I said about to scream when Splat!

I looked to see that Misty came over and whacked the spider with her flip flop. When she removed it all you could see was green gunk.

"eww" Me and our new nameless room mate said, as we ran back into the room.

"Umm sorry about that, My name is Dawn and I guess we're room mates." She said extending her hand smiling.

"Hi my name May and this is Misty" I said.

"So umm have you picked your beds?" She asked

"oh, no we haven't" I told her.

"Well can I have this one?" She said as she pointed to one of the singles right by the door.

"Uh go for it" I said looking at Misty who waved her hand down saying she didn't care

"Well I want the top bunk." Misty say climbing up the bunk bed.

"Then I'll take the other single" I said happily.

Misty, Dawn, and I all started talking amongst our selfs. We talked about the usual stuff like boys, clothes, etc.

"Speaking of boys, me and May ran into 4 of them earlier. They invited us to dinner so you should come." Misty said smiling.

'Dinner!' I thought. I had totally forgotten all about that. 'great'.

"Are you alright May? you don't look very good all of the sudden." Dawn asked worriedly

"Dawn don't worry about her. She's just worried about tonight for some reason." Misty said looking at her finger nails.

"Really why?" Dawn asked me once more.

"I don't know, I just have a bad feeling that's all" I said looking down feeling ashamed.

"Well I think that it's perfectly fine to have your guard up, But I think it's kind of sweet that they invited you guys and I'll gladly come to support you May, and maybe flirt just a teeny tiny bit" Dawn said as she closed 2 of her fingers near her eye.

We all started laughing when the door opened to reveal a brown haired girl.

"Oh sorry to interrupt." She said walking in. "Are you guys, May, Misty and Dawn?" She asked.

"Yeppers that's us" Misty said smiling at her.

"Oh alright then. My names Leaf and I guess I'm your room mate." She said

"It's nice to meet you Leaf. My names Dawn, and That's May." She said pointing towards me. "And Misty." Dawn said pointing at my fiery haired friend.

"The pleasures all mine" Leaf returned.

Leaf took the last bunk and got all settled in. We all continued talking for at least another hour. Dawn was currently texting, Leaf was drinking diet soda and Misty was laying upside down off the couch looking bored out of her mind.

"Hey May what time is it?" Misty asked.

I picked up my iPhone. "It's 5:30"

"Then should we start getting ready?" Dawn asked putting her phone down.

"Ready for what?" Leaf asked slightly confused.

"I almost forgot to tell you, sorry about that" Misty said. "Well when me and May registered we ran into some cute boys who asked us all out for dinner. 4 of us, 4 of them." Misty told her.

"Is it a date, I mean do we have to dress up or?" Leaf started

"Just dress the way you want them to see you dressed. I mean dress nice but not to dressy. Do you understand?" Misty asked trying to word everything out.

"I think so. You mean don't dress like a bum, because they'll think your one. But don't dress fancy because then they'll think your way to serious?" Leaf asked.

"Exactly!" Misty said.

"Well then lets go!" Dawn said excitedly.

I sighed as I stood up from leaning against the wall. 'Here we go.'

After 10 minutes we had all changed. Dawn was wearing a light pink skirt and a white hollister tee.

She was wearing black flats and had on a black butterfly necklace.

Leaf was wearing black skinny jeans with a light green shirt under a short dark green sweater that only went down halfway her stomach. She also was wearing converse high tops and a white hairband.

Misty was wearing Short Shorts with a light blue aeropostal shirt and white flats and a silver heart necklace.

Finally after being persuaded to wear my outfit by everyone, I was wearing white skinny jeans and a red tank top with a black tank underneath. I was wearing purple and black high tops and my favorite necklace, Black string with a small gold star.

"We look great" Dawn said. Misty and Leaf nodded and I smirked.

We made our way towards the crystal fountain we had agreed to meet at. We exited the dorm and started walking across campus. But what bothered me the most was the stare from all the guys as we walked by. I guy actually dropped his drink as we walked by. I know I should have been flattered but it felt weird. Back home, I was the girl in the background. Sure I mean I had a ton of friends and I was considered popular but all of my friends would always get more attention than me because of my 'size'.

My mom had told me that it ran in the family, being a late bloomer but it sucked. When ever I went with pool parties I'd feel almost left out because everyone else looked better than me. I felt the same way about Misty for the longest time too. I was also one step behind her in everything. Sports, fasion, academics, beauty, and unfortunately boobs.

But this summer I guess I got lucky. No more training bras for me. But even though I developed I still feel left out right now. I just met Dawn and Leaf and I already feel lefty behind. Misty and them are just so girly and I'm just sooo blah. My friend Brendan always told me that he liked me because I was sporty and I played in a band and that I was just like 'one of the guys' but now I wish I could be 'one of the girls'.

I sighed when we came into view of the fountain.

'This is gonna be a long night'
