Rain poured from the open sky. Thunder rang across the sky and the occasional lighting flashed across the sky. The wind beat mercilessly against the window, carrying the rain with it. It looked cold and it looked wet.

I shuddered at the thought of walking home, knowing I would have no choice but to wait at school until the rain stopped. But hopefully the heavy rain would cease and I could leave school. But for now, I glanced back to my teacher who continued to write on the chalkboard.

I hate the rain...its just so wet and cold... I just hope the rain will let up by this afternoon...maybe then I can walk home.

"Bridgit, pay attention!" The snap of the ruler hitting my desk snapped me back. I sighed, taking one last glance at the falling rain before placing my head into my red paws, letting out a defeated groan.

"Class, if there is anything I have told you its that your natural element is important..." I rolled my eyes, another lecture about the elements. I felt another groan escape my lips, annoyed with repition of our teachers lesson. I turned my gaze, knowing that practically no one was listening as their own eyes wandered around the room. It was one thing to hear this lecture once or twice but she does this every time a storm is said to roll in.

"Psst. Bridgit. Bridgit." I turned my gaze to my right, seeing a pair of blue eyes staring at me. He ran a blue paw through his navy blue hair, stroking the yellow highlights as he waited for me to answer. I let a ember escape my mouth as I sighed.

"What Dax?" I huffed, brushing down my frizzy blonde hair.

"Wow, someone looks cranky today...rain not treating you well?" He let a smirk roll across his face as I huffed again.

"I'm a fire type... the rain never treats me well." His smirk faded.

"You mean you hate water?" His eyes shifted, a crazed twinkle gleaming in his blue eyes. I just tilted my head, my eyes narrowed, feeling my paws grip my desk tightly.

"Yeah...I guess." His eyes darted away, a frown formed on his face. He blinked, his paws tightened on his desk.

"Well, I'm hurt! And I'm sorry." I felt myself quirk an eyebrow.

"You hurt? Pfft, get real Dax. How could you be hurt? Just because I said I didnt like water?"

"Just look at me Bridgit. I'm a Vaporeon for arceus sake. But thats not the real reason... I'm really hurt because the most beautiful girl in school has just told me she hates my element. Water is my love!" I felt fire swirl inside my chest. I felt my ears pin back. A tingling sensation ran along my spine and up my paws. I couldn't tear away from him. He looked to me.

"Beautiful? Come on Dax, stop messing around."

"I'm not, why? What's the matter?" I couldn't tell him that the comments made me nervous. That anxious feeling was driving me nuts. I opened my mouth.

"I...uh..."

"Ya know, if you want to date me, all you have to do is say something." My cheeks burned. His eyes shifted and he leaned toward my ear.

"And if you want to kiss me, you don't have to say anything at all, just lean." My eyes widened.

I could feel myself drowning in the blood that rushed to my face.

"Since when are you so forward?"

"Since when are you so shy?"

"Seriously Dax..."

"I'm just kidding!" He mumbled something under his breath, his blue paw tapping against the desk. But in an instant it stopped.

"Geez, its just fun...I don't think anyone ever makes you blush." I gulped, knowing its too true. I never liked the feeling so I distanced myself...but Dax was different...he had been a childhood friend, and he had always been calm and easy going.

"And if you ignore the danger of opposite elements, you will die!" My teacher wailed. I gave another glance outside, seeing the rain had not let up. I jolted as someone touched my paw.

"Did you hear that, the teacher doesn't even want us together..." I heard him say, laughing a bit. I turned to Dax, his expression changing. He had looked nervous now and I smiled, feeling blood rush to my cheeks again.

"The teacher can't tell me what to do. So...you want me to walk you home?" I saw the gleam in his eyes with his offer. He had lived next to me for arceus only knows how long...but that was before he moved. Now he lived across town.

"You...want to walk me home? Don't you live across town?" Dax smirked.

"What too good for me to walk you home? Is the proud flareon going to explode if an old friend walks them home?" I rolled my eyes which he chuckled at.

"You don't just want to walk me home...what's in it for you?"

"The company of a pretty girl?" He smiled, to which I rolled my eyes. I couldn't help but feel my heartrate spike and a laugh escape my lips.

"Smooth..." To which he smiled. His tail swished proudly at the comment.

"Just like the water I control." The bells rang and he quickly tapped my shoulder.

"So...later?" I smiled, pushing a stray hair behind my ear.

"Sure." I said as I ran off to my next class.
