Good morning/afternoon/evening lovely readers! This is my first story ever, so please don't be too harsh on me. My story is going to be a little bit unique (yay!). Instead of "love at first sight" as many stories imply, I'm going to screw around with the drama and hope everything turns out alright! Though, the eventual shippings will be Pearl-, Contest-, and Ego-. Thanks for reading my first story, and enjoy! Oh, and I don't own Pokemon...
Dawn's POV
"DAWN, HONEY, GET YOUR BUTT UP AND GET READY FOR SCHOOL!"
Ugh... Yep, you've got it. It's my first day of PokePallet High. My parents are divorced, and my mom can't stand staying in Twinleaf because of depressing memories, so we decided to move to Pallet, Kanto. When my best friend Leona and I said our good byes, we bawled or eyes out and promised that we would keep in touch. Kenny, on the other hand, just hugged me and whispered, "Cya Dee Dee." When we pulled away, I could have sworn I saw a hint of incoming tears.
Alright, enough about sad stuf- WAIT! I forgot to introduce myself. Heh heh, sorry.. I tend to be a bit forgetful sometimes. My name is Dawn Hikari Berlitz, I have beautiful cobalt hair and I am about to be a sophomore. And this sucks because last year, all the freshmen (this year's sophomore) have already found friends and know each other quite a bit. I am going to be the awkward, new kid. I kind of wish that we moved last year because then, I wouldn't have to worry about all that new kid crap. And yes, I cuss. I started last year in secret! My mom doesn't know.. I feel so teenager-ish! YAY! FITTING IN!
In order to make a good impression (and because its EFFING HOT), I carefully pick out a pale pink blouse and a black skirt with white flats. I pop downstairs, pour myself some cereal and milk, and wait for the school bus to arrive. When it does, I grab my bag and hope that I make a friend! I walk through the aisle and search for an open seat. I spot one next to a pretty girl with pale pink hair.
"May I sit here?" I ask.
She gives me a disgusted look and says, "Ew.. why would I let trash like you sit next to me?"
Two snooty looking girls (her clique, I suppose) giggle and point at me. My cheeks flush bright red, and a brunette with a red bandanna pulls me into a seat next to her.
"Thankyousomuch. Iwassoscaredbecausesheandthosegirlswherelaughingatmeandifeltsoembarrasedan-"
"Woah woah.. Sorry to interrupt, but yeah.. no problem I guess. I'm May Maple" She sticks out her hand.
"I've been told that I talk too much so no need to worry! Dawn Berlitz by the way!" I grab her hand and shake it.
"So.. do you want to meet my friends? I mean since you're new I thought.. ya know?" I furiously nod my head at this. It was my chance to make some friends! AND it hasn't even been first period.
As an attempt to start a conversation, I ask, "Who's that girl? Is she popular?"
"Oh. You mean Ursula Urara? She's one of the most popular girls in school along with Brianna Wakana and Melody Fleura. Truth is, I used to be part of their group." I gasp at this.
"What happened?"
"Well I figured that they were just a bunch of boy-crazy bitches who were only popular because of their wealthy parents. I've been to their houses, and they are VERY well off." I was going to ask about more high school gossip, but then the bus stopped.
"Hey, look we're here! C'mon Dawn! Let's go meet the gang!" She gave me a huge smile which I was glad to return. I had a feeling that this was the beginning of a great school year.
May's POV
Dane.. no, that's not it. Er.. the new kid is dragged over to my friends, courtesy of me. I can't believe that I forgot her name! But that's alright! When she introduces herself to the gang, she'll say her name. And I won't forget it. Nope. Not me. Though, sometimes I wonder if I actually AM an airhead. Maybe Drew is righ- WHAT DID I JUST SAY! DREW WAS RIGHT? SHOO, BAD THOUGHTS. SHOO.
"Hey May are you alright?" A certain bluenette asks. "Your face is twitching and you look very mad.."
Dawn's POV
"It's alright. Airhead looks mad all the time, so it's fine. Hello Dawn," A familiar green-headed boy does his signature hair flip and hugs me while whispering, "Don't tell em' right now Dawn." (A/N: If you are confused, don't worry. This shouldn't make any sense.)
I pull out of the hug and chirp, "Hiya Drew!"
"Hold the phone. You know Grasshead?" May asks. Her face is scrunched up and she looks so confused. Oh, I wish I could take a picture right now.
"Yes we know each other June. We were friends when we were younger."
May's confused expression disappears. "Ah... gotcha."
A cute guy with brown spikes is wearing a black short-sleeved and collared shirt which show off his slight build, and purple skinny jeans. He puts his arm around me and says, "Name's Gary, but you can call me anytime." He winks. Gary looks hot, but I don't do players.
I pull away and say, "Sorry, I'm allergic to bad pick-up lines."
A girl with orange hair grins and exclaims, "Finally! We have another girl who doesn't worship Gary!"
Gary pouts and says, "Screw off Misty. We all know that you worship me."
A cute raven headed boy says, "Shut up Gary. She's not a horse." Everyone sweat-dropped.
"Ash.. It's 'whore' and when will you ask Misty out? I mean you defend her like she's your girlfriend already." Both Ash and Misty blushed.
I felt kind of awkward because I didn't really know these people, so I asked, "What's your homeroom May?"
"Oh.. I have Mr. Samuel Oak for English. That's Gary's grandpa."
"WOW! Isn't that the famous poet on TV? He's amazing! Oh, and I have him too."
"Well that's great 'cause I have him as well," Misty adds. "Lets go girls!"
We say our goodbyes to the gang and walked to Mr. Oak's room.
Misty's POV
I walk to Mr. Oak's class with May and Dawn. She seems like a nice person, and she doesn't fan over Gary! I don't really know why I'm thankful because of this. It must be because she will be a good friend, I suppose.. (A/N: What is the REAL reason Misty? Geez, and you call Ash dense?) Mr. Oak is really nice. I see him a lot becauseI go to Gary's house frequently. Gary's a very good best friend. He always supports me. I even told him my crush... Ash! Sure Ash is dense, but he's very sweet and he cares for all of his friends. Too bad he's too dense to realize that I like him! I'm probably going to have to confess first. I think he likes me too...
"MISTY WATERFLOWER!" May is screaming in my face. Ugh.. May is so impatient.
"What?" I glare at her. "You don't have to be so loud, May."
"Well, you weren't listening to me!"
"What were you talking about then?" I was on the verge of rolling my eyes. May can be such a kid sometimes.
"I was asking Dawn about her and Drew's past. Then, I was going to ask you something... but I forgot."
This was the cue to roll my eyes.
May's POV
Misty is so sassy sometimes. Yeesh. She doesn't care about Dawn and Drew's past, but I'm going to find out everything! Er.. so.. I could.. tease him. Yeah! Tease him. (A/N: What a lame excuse, May.)
"So Dawn!"
"Hmm?"
"How did you and Drew meet?"
"Er... well, we met when we were young."
"And..?"
"He defended me against some bullies on the playground. They wanted me to leave the sandbox, but I am a stubborn kid. They were pushing me around because I wouldn't leave. Then Drew came with the teacher and the bullies got into trouble. I looked up to him as a hero ever since. That's how we met, May."
So, she looks up to him, hmm? I wonder if she likes him.
"Do you like him?"
She looked at me strangely. I guess I am pretty straight forward. "Yeah."
Something was clawing at my chest. I don't know what though. I opened my mouth to say something, but she said, "I did when we were younger. He was just so charming and nice, but something happened, so I don't anymore."
I felt relief spread across me. But.. why? I opened my mouth so say something, but this time I was interrupted by Mr. Oak.
"Well ladies. Are you going to come in?"
"Um. Y-yes sir! We were just talking!" I stutter.
"Alright. At least you aren't late."
Dawn's POV
May and I walk into the classroom, and sit at the seats next to Misty and a brunette. Misty and her were.. glaring at each other. May looks timidly at the brunette and then at Misty, then at the brunette, then back at Misty.
"Erm.. Hi Misty. Leaf."
"Hi," They both say without looking away from each other.
May leans over to me and whispers, "Misty and Leaf have had this rivalry since she and Gary started dating! Leaf is his current girlfriend and Misty doesn't like her. Heck, she doesn't like any of his past girlfriends. Its very wise to keep out of this drama. People get emotionally wrecked."
May and I both jump when Misty starts talking. "Well Leafy. How's it going with Gare-bear?" She wasn't really talking. It sounded like cursing, though she didn't say and cuss words.
In the same manner, Leaf replied, "Its going fine Mist. You still jealous?"
At this point, May and I tried to keep a small conversation going, but we were failing pretty badly. The deadly stares the pair were giving each other was very distracting.
"Hah! Jealous? In your dreams Leaf. Anyways, why are you even here?"
"I claimed this table for my friends, but look. They found another table. Cya Mist," She exclaimed in a false cheery tone.
As she left, both May and I let out the breath we didn't realize we were holding. Thankfully, the late bell rung and Mr. Oak started poetrytalking.
"Hello sophomores!
Do not fear, this class will not be a bore.
Now pair up into twos.
Without one, you surely will lose."
The three of us looked at each other. Pairs meant 2 people, so one of us would have to find a new partner. Suddenly, the door suddenly swung open and a girl with overalls and pigtails stumbled in.
"S-sorry sir! This won't happen again!" She squeaked.
"I'll let it slide since its the first day,
But, this shouldn't happen again, okay?
Sit over there
next to the girl with orange hair." Oak rhymed.
"Erm.. alright sir!" She scrambled over the the seat next to Misty.
"Please start
and work with all your heart!" Mr. Oak passed out the assignment papers.
"Uhm.. hello? My name is Lyra."
Lyra's Pov
I nervously looked at the girls sitting around me. The orange haired one looked really pissed, the brunette smiled warmly, and the blunette said, "Hi Lyra! I'm Dawn. the brunette is May, and that is Misty." She gestured toward the pissed girl.
"Don't worry Lyra. Misty's just had a small.. problem. She's usually in a brighter mood! So.. will Dawn and I work together?" May explained.
Misty just grumbled and nodded her head. All of us then looked over our assignment papers. We were supposed to write a poem about our expectations for this year.
"Alright Misty.. shall we start?"
Okay! That ends this chapter! So R&R! Pretty please? With a charizard on top? (P.S. I decided to combine all the short chapters because I felt that each update was too short! BUT this means longer updates. KK BAII)
