New School, New Semester, New Friends
(Edited from original)
Wee, another side project. And guess what, another one-shot! Ha-ha, okay. PearlShipping, ContestShipping. Ash's POV
Ash- 16
Dawn- 16
May- 17
Drew- 17
It was my first day at this school after my other school was burned down. My mum just couldn't think of anything better than to send me to school with Drew, just brilliant.
"Okay and this is our room Ash" My brother Drew showed me after the brief dorm tour
I entered the room annoyed with my mum's decision to send me here, who wants to spend high school with their brother? There wasn't much I could do, once mum makes up her mind, there's no changing it. Punishment I get for getting a B in my exams I suppose.
The room was messy and cluttered with my brother's stuff. Socks and clothes were scattered all over the place, a few books and magazines were sprawled across the floor as though they had fallen from the desk and left t here. There was a small mini fridge in the corner which was the cleanest part of the room. It was difficult to step with his stuff scattered on the floor.
"Here's your bed" he said pointing at the bed with no covers, pillows or blankets on it, but a pile of laundry.
"Which one, the clothes or the bed?" I asked sarcastically
"It's slightly messy, but hey, its home now right?"
"Not by choice though" I replied grumpily as I dropped my stuff on the floor
"One thing I've learnt is to take what you get and live with it, okay?" He replied and began trying to clear stuff.
"Hey Drew" I heard a girl say, he turned around and immediately stood up straight dropping the clothes he was clearing up. I looked up from my thoughts and saw a brown haired girl, she had sapphire eyes and was wearing a red top.
"Hey May" Drew replied before leaning forward and kissing her for several long seconds. Rather passionately at that.
"Ahem" I said startling the two causing them both to blush "It's my first day here, could you two please not make out, I pissed enough as it is"
"No worries" May said cheerily "Wanna come for lunch with Drew and I, my sister will be there, she's in your year as well? She just started this semester as well"
"Could I jump of the clock tower first? It might be more bearable if I was in a coma" I said grumpily as the day went from bad to worse
"Good, you're coming in one piece then" She said unfazed by my comment
"Even if I had something to do what would you care? So I guess I'm going" I said as I followed the two out of the room
"Come on Grinch" Drew said as he followed me out of the room
This day was going from bad to worse and even worse than worse. I couldn't stand this school anymore. Stupid Mr. Rowan giving me a B, ruining my life. Unfortunately all I could do was swear and curse him in my head for now.
I was so lost in my thoughts, that I didn't even realize we'd reached the cafeteria. I looked up and saw a s that must have been May's sister. She had blue hair and was slightly shorter and less "mature" than her sister, but she had the same glittering sapphire eyes, face and body as May. She didn't speak or show any sign of wanting to be here, someone I could relate to I suppose, but then again, she didn't look like the type of person who you spoke to and lived.
"Well us two are off, you two get friendly" May giggled
"Use protection, I'm too young to be an uncle" I replied smugly, this earned me a hard thump on the back of my head from Drew.
"Bye now Mr. Jolly" He said sarcastically as he and May disappeared into the grounds hand in hand.
"Because this isn't awkward at all" May's sister said sourly "my sister, the only person I know hear, ditches me to go make out with her boy friend, and now I'm stuck here with some guy I don't even know, in a school which I've been forced to go to! Could my life get any better?" She asked sarcastically.
"Hello little miss sunshine, "some guy" is still here you know" I replied to her speech
"Sorry" She replied grumpily "It's just so annoying, first my mum forces me to come here leaving my school and my friends, and come here to school which I hate, and get forced to share a room with my sister"
"I feel you, I'm going through the exact same thing, over 1 little B in my exams" I replied
"Parents" she said
"Parents" I agreed
"Oh yeah what did you say your name was again?" She asked
"I didn't…" I replied
"Oh… though you did, I was too caught up in my thoughts, thought I might have missed something" She replied "Oh yeah, I'm Dawn by the way"
"Wish I could get lost in my thoughts, Ash by the way" I replied
"Nice to meet you Ash, I would be in a better mood if only my sister would stop acting for a moment and consider the fact that I have no idea where the hell anything is in this school, then I would be able to get back to my room" She said bitterly
"What do you mean she's acting?" I asked
"Yeah, she's acting; she's never this peppy or giggly. Usually she could be described as a Purple colour, strong, self dependent and courage's. Around Drew she's like a bright pink, I don't even need to explain, you can see what that is" Dawn explained the theory "As for me, I am green, Happy, grumpy when tired and caring"
"The way I see you know, you look more like a black" I said
"Nah, this is me when I'm pissed, and tired" She explained "what are you?"
"Definitely a pale blue, I don't even need to explain the characteristics do I" I said
Shit she's hot I thought, I had only realised this after I saw her like this with her eyes finally sparkling again and the amazing smile was the icing on the cake.
"What are you doing tonight?" She asked as we left the cafeteria
"Me? I was planning to explore the campus, why?" I replied curiously
"Oh, I was planning the same thing, wanna go together? You and my sister and kinda the only people I know here" She replied
"Sure why not? Always good to have company, the more the merrier as they say" I said as we both left the cafeteria
When I finally found my way back to my room after exploring the campus with Dawn, I found Drew already arrived back after his reunion with May.
"So Ash, made any friends?" Drew asked while preparing for bed
"Other than Dawn, nope" I replied
"Ah well, a friend's a friend" He said "I guess we should go to bed"
"Oh good, I can now see my bed" I replied sarcastically
"You're just lucky I'm not making you sleep on the floor, now shut up and go to bed" He said jokingly
"Okay then Mr. In Charge, I will go to bed, Good night" I said before getting into bed.
I couldn't sleep that night; I was caught up in my thoughts
Crap, Dawn's so hot, with her blue eyes and that long blue hair; I want her so badI thought to myself If I could get her then I would be the happiest man on campus, I can see why Drew would want to date May, she's seriously hot, but way out of my league. Dawn on the other hand, She's plenty good enough for me
That night I had a dream. Dawn climbed up to my window barefoot wearing a white dress with her blue hair flowing behind her, she lay down in my bed and things started happening under the blanket. It was obviously a dream because there's no way she could have climbed three stories in to my room bare foot, but I knew this was a sign, a sign from god, a sign that I was supposed to get into Dawn's pants.
I looked forward to spending more time with the apple of my eye, however joining mid-semester meant that we had piles of work, so we didn't have much time regardless of the fact that we had all the same lessons and sat on the same table in each one.
"Mr Ketchum, get your head out of the clouds and answer the question" Mr Brandon said "If X+ 2X-5=10, what is X?"
"Uh..." was all I was able to think of Shit, I hate Algebra"Uh... 5" I guessed, it sounded more like a question
"Good, now listen" Mr Brandon said before continuing the math lecture
I was just lucky I guessed correctly, the amount of work meant late nights, and that means falling asleep in lesson.
"Hey Dawn" I greeted her after class
"Hey Ash" She greeted back
"I have a favour to ask" I said
"Go ahead" She said
"I think that I night need your help for algebra, I suck at it and you just seem to know everything about it" I said "Could you help?"
She giggled "Well if that's all, then how tonight after dinner, May and Drew are having their daily make out session then"
"Yeah, thanks, see you then" I said before heading off to my next class
"How do you do this?" I asked frustrated after an hour of being tutored by Dawn
"It's not that difficult, you just have to take x to the other side!" She replied clearly frustrated by my incompetence in algebra
"BUT HOW?"I replied frustrated myself
"Jesus Christ Ash, if I knew you needed this much help I wouldn't have agreed to help" Dawn said slightly frustrated "How did you answer that question today?"
"I guessed" I answered obviously "I was asleep in class, was up all night doing English essay which ruddy professor Birch forgot to collect"
"urgh, let's take a break, too much work trying to teach you algebra" Dawn said before lying on the bed
"Thank god" I said before heading to the mini fridge "Coke or sprite?" I asked Dawn
"Do you have cream soda?" She replied
"Sure" I replied and tossed her the can
I sighed and joined her on the bed. I had never been so physically close to Dawn, it was a good feeling. Come on; grow a pair of balls, do it. NowI lectured myself It's now or never, do it before someone else does!
"Hey Ash?" I heard Dawn ask
"Yes?" I replied, my heart pounding
"I only accepted my sister's lunch offer when I saw you" Dawn said "sounds kind of stupid, but it's true. I wouldn't have gone otherwise, it was just something about you"
My heart was pounding too hard for me to say anything, but all I could do was lean forward towards her, and found my lips and hers entwined for several long seconds of Joy. Until eventually, Mother Nature decided we needed oxygen.
I could not believe I just did that, but I didn't care, she kissed back and that was all that mattered to me, she kissed me back
"Wow" we said simultaneously
Then the next thing I knew, Dawn was on top of me and we were in a deep embrace for the rest of the night. When I woke up the next morning, I noticed Dawn was next to me, luckily though, she was fully dressed, meaning we didn't go past first base. It was good; we were going to take this slow. Things went on like this for the rest of the semester, at least once a week we would go to one of our rooms for a heavy make out session. We were together as boyfriend and girlfriend and that is all that matters to me.
I have taken into account all previous comments and criticisms from my other stories and tried to fix them in here. Anyway. Hope you enjoyed. R&R.
