Chapter 1: First day
Sophomore year; August 23rd, Monday
The sound of a ringing alarm clock could be heard in the room of two peacefully sleeping well at least one was the was snoring louder than the Snorlax alarm clock. This woke up a beautiful bluenette around the age of 14 years old "what is that awful sound" said Dawn as she slammed the head of her Snorlax clock only to still hear the sound continue.
She looked around and eventually sweatdropped when she found the cause of the noise, it was her roommate and best-friend May Mapel.
"May!" She shouted trying to wake her friend, but knew the chances of waking up like that was slim. So she got out of her bed and walked over to May and lit out a small cute giggle at the sight she was still getting used to her best-friend was practically eating her pillow as she held it tight while drooling on it and had a leg stick out of her cover.
"May" she said nudging the girl only to get her hand swatted away, "owww!" Dawn shouted as she rubbed her hand "fine hard way it is, Piplup" she said as her water type jumped out of her bed and over to his trainer. He looked up at her to see what she wanted "want to wake up May for me" she said with a wicked grin and Piplup had the same grin as he jumped on May's bed.
"Alright one, two, three!" Dawn shouted as Piplup as he unleashed bubblebeam on the brunette.
The second the first bubble made contact with May's face she jolted up and instantly felt the rest of the attack "Dawn!" She shouted.
With that Piplup stopped his attack and with chest puffed proud of his accomplishment walked back over to Dawn's bed. "You're dead to me" May said with a glooming face to Dawn.
Dawn laughed at her "well you do know summer is over and today is the first day of school" she said.
May's stomach did a flip as she realized school was indeed resuming today "I get it first day of school but why are we up so early the sun is just rising" she whined pointing to the window.
Dawn let out a long sigh "May I told you this when we were exploring the island, our classes are all over the island and it's best waking up early so we can make it in time, we aren't in Hoenn high anymore" she said walking over to her closet.
"Drew said flying on pokemon should only take us a least 5 minutes to get to each class" she said crossing her arms like a child.
"Really? Even if that is true your going to take Drew's word for it" Dawn said looking at her mirror switching between a red and pink shirt.
"He is my boyfriend" May said pointing out the obvious. She and Drew started dating back at Hoenn junior high in their 8th grade year after many, many, many times the green haired boy asked her. She eventually gave the boy his chance and although they butt head at times she doesn't regret her decision.
"Yes the boyfriend that has pranked you every month since high school" Dawn said.
"Yeah and who's fault is that hmmmm?" May said and Dawn blushed knowing to who she was referring to.
"Don't say his name" Dawn said lifting her hand up at May.
"Really Dawn? It's been three months and I still can't say his name" she said looking at her best-friend with a dull face.
"You know you can't" Dawn stared at her best-friend with hurt in her eyes.
May gave her a sad look "fine but it is his fault that Drew pranks me every month" she said.
Dawn smiled and giggled "Yeah I know it's his fault but really your boyfriend is as much as fault as him" she said. The reason behind Drew pranking his girlfriend every month since the beginning of high school was because of a certain bet he made with a certain someone.
May got out of her bed and headed for the bathroom but stopped at the door to look at her friend "Listen Dawn, you know you can't keep avoiding him right?" She said as Dawn lowered her head.
"I know but I'm sure he hates me for what I did" she sadly said.
"He's Ash, I don't think he has a single bone in his body capable of hate" with that she closed the door to the bathroom and turned the shower on.
Dawn looked at a picture she had on her desk of her and Ash when they had their first kiss together "people change May" she whispered as she went back to looking for an outfit.
Ash &' Drew's room
"Drew! You've been in the bathroom all morning other people need to prepare to you know!" Ash shouted as he was about to knock on the door for what seemed like the 100th time since he and Drew woke up.
Drew opened the door with a blow dryer in one hand and his other one holding a comb "perfection takes time Ash" he said.
"Drew other people need the bathroom" Ash said once again.
"Why do you need it, you don't have a girlfriend to look good for" Drew said innocently.
"Dude really?" Ash dully said looking at his friend waiting for the idiot to catch on to what he said.
Drew thought about for a while and shrugged "what?" He said and with that Ash dragged his insensitive best-friend out the bathroom and began to brush his teeth.
"Rude" Drew said as he unplugged his hair dryer while Ash gave him the bird.
He plugged it back up and used the mirror he had on a wall to continue blow drying his hair "you know you might see her today" he said.
Ash mumbled something and as if Drew understood replied to him "what do you mean you don't care about her".
Ash spit the paste out of his mouth "I mean I don't care about her, she did break up with me remember?" He said as he began brushing again.
Drew rolled his eyes "we all know it was a misunderstanding" he said but he knew that wasn't going to be enough to convince his best friend.
"You know I kept telling myself that" he paused for a second to spit out the paste "but eventually I figured out she just wanted to break up with me" he said as he rinsed his mouth with water.
He stepped out of the bathroom and grabbed his black shirt off his bed "plus she didn't try getting back together after she found out I was coming here to" he said as he looked at the mirror and ruffled his hair a bit.
"Thats because you were ignoring her the whole summer" Drew said.
"Yeah she tried for like a week and stopped after that" he said as he stopped playing his hair and put his favorite red and blue hat on.
"Oh so if she kept trying you would of given her a chance" the green haired teen said.
Ash lightly blushed as he realized he basically admitted he would of given Dawn another chance "shut up we have a class to get to" he said as they both headed out their room and outside of their dorm.
Dawn &' May
"There all perfect" said Dawn as she looked at herself in the long mirror that hung on her door.
"A little too perfect if you ask me, trying to impress a certain handsome young man?" May said with a smirk.
Dawn blushed as she understood at what May was emphasizing "n-no" she stuttered basically giving her away.
May gave her best friend a smirk "you are so easy to read Dawn, come on we have a class to get to" she said grabbing Dawn by the hand and walking out the door.
As the two girls made their way to lobby of their dorm Dawn who was to busy with her conversation with May didn't notice the girl she was about to dumb into. The two girls clashed and both fell flat on their butts "ahhh Dawn are you alright!?" May shouted as she instantly got one knee to check on her.
Dawn rubbed her left butt cheek and nervously laughed "I'm alright maybe you should check up on the girl I bumped into" she said.
May nodded and looked at the mahogany hair colored girl who was rubbing her right butt cheek "are you alright sorry about my friend she can be a klutz" she said with a smile.
"Hey!" Dawn shouted as she stood up and helped the girl stand up as well.
"It's alright, are you two by any chance new here?" The girl asked.
"Yeah we got accepted to this school right before summer started" May said.
"Well let me be the first to say, welcome to frontier academy the best school in the world for pokemon trainers and coordinators alike" she cheerfully said.
"Thank you, I'm May Maple" May said shaking the girls hand.
"And I'm the 'klutz' Dawn Bertzil" she said with air quotations around klutz as she looked at May who only smiled.
The girl shook Dawn's hand and smile "nice to meet you May and Dawn, my name is Leaf Green" she happily said.
"Leaf Green! As in the one from Pallet town?" May asked.
Leaf gave the girl a confused looked "yeah but how'd you know that?" She asked.
"One of my closest friend is Ash Ketchum and he was from Pallet town he would always talk about you back in middle school" she said.
Leaf squealed for joy "Ash! You know Ash that's great! How's he been? I haven't seen him in years" she asked.
"Why don't you ask him yourself we're meeting him today for lunch" May happily said.
"He's here! The last time I remember he could hardly even catch a Magikarp" she said giggling like a school girl.
"Really? Ash is the strongest trainer I know right Dawn" May cheerfully said as Dawn nodded her head.
"Where are you two headed right now?" Leaf asked.
Dawn pulled out her scheduled "we have fairy-types first why?" She asked looked at the girl.
"Perfect!" Leaf shouted as she grabbed both girl by the arm "I have the same class, so we have plenty of time to talk about what Ash has been up to the past 3 years" she happily said as the three began walking.
Ash &' Drew
"Yes made it!" Ash shouted as he and Drew came running into their classroom as the bell rang.
"That. . . was to . . . close" Drew said gasping for air.
"Oh you must be the two new students" both boys looked up to see a gorgeous woman in her early thirty's with beautiful light brown hair and gorgeous green eyes. She smiled at the two boys who blushed "nice to meet you my name is Professor Juniper and I'll be your teacher for this Unova class" she said.
All Ash and Drew could was nod and smile like a bunch of idiots.
Professor Juniper giggled at the two boys and looked to her class "excuse me everyone we have two new students I'd like you to meet" she said getting the attention of the entire class.
She moved aside so Ash and Drew could stand in middle of the class and introduce themselves. "Hell my name is Drew Rosario it's a pleasure to meet such beautiful girls" he said adding a hair flip causing some girls to giggle and most of the guys to laugh.
"Hello my name is Ash-" he was cut off by a boy with auburn hair and dark viridian eyes "Ashy-boy!" The boy said.
Ash looked at the boy and a shocked expression took over his face "Gary! Gary Oak" Ash shouted in disbelief.
"You two know each other?" Professor Juniper asked.
"Yes me and Gary come from the same town and we grew up together until I moved to Hoenn" Ash said.
"Well I'm glad that the two of you can be reunited, why don't you have a seat next to him and Drew you can sit on the row below theirs" she said as both boys nodded in agreement.
Ash got to the fifth row of the center section and sat next to Gary while Drew took his seat one row down.
"Well since it's the first the of class I'd like you all just to relax" Professor Juniper said as she earned cheers from her class.
Gary turned to Ash "I'd never thought I would see the day that Ash Ketchum of all people would get accepted to the most elite school in the world" he said teasingly.
"Ha ha ha" Ash sarcastically laughed "glad to see Gary Oak hasn't changed a bit" he said with a smile.
"Hey you have to admit you were such a bad trainer, you couldn't even catch a Magikarp back in the day" Gary said laughing.
Ash blushed out of embarrassment and was ready to respond when he was cut off by a female sitting next to Gary. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your cute friend Gary?" The girl with peach colored hair and cherry colored eyes.
"Right, Ash this is the wicked witch of the east, wicked witch this is my childhood friend Ash" he said with a smirk as he got a right hand upside the head.
"Very funny, my name is Ursula Blossom" she said shaking Ash's hand and given him a flirtatious smile.
"Nice to meet you Ursula, sorry about Gary he can be insensitive" he said making the girl giggle.
"It's alright I'm used to him being a meanie" she cutely said pouting.
"You can be as mean as him at time Ursula" this came from a girl above her on the next row, who had matching lilac hair and eyes.
Ursula huffed her cheeks at the girl "butt out Anabel" she said.
"Then don't lie" she said looking at the girl and next at Ash, "hello my name is Anabel Maiden" she said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you" he said and than was surprised as the girl next to Anabel jumped and landed perfectly in front of Ash and on the desk.
"Hi my name is Korrina Sentõ" she said happily taking a seat in front of Ash on his desk.
"Nice to meet you, Gary are all these girls your friends?" He asked.
"More like my fan club" he said with a smirk as Anabel and Ursula hit him on the head making him laugh.
"Oh and so is the moody guy right above you" Gary said rubbing his head while pointing above Ash.
Ash looked up to see a boy with purple hair and a really annoyed look, "umm nice to meet you" Ash said as he extended his hand.
Instead of getting a handshake he got one of the teen's famous 'hmphs'.
"Paul you're being rude!" Anabel said from the boys side.
"Whatever" he said with an attitude.
Gary chuckled at his behavior "don't mind him he likes being rude" he said earning him a glare.
Ash laughed as he heard a certain best friend of his cough to make his presence known. Korrina curiously looked behind her to see an annoyed Drew "oh hello are you new here also?" She asked.
Drew utterly shocked at this he just introduced himself how could she not know who he was "yeah I introduced myself before Ash did" he said.
"Really? I don't think I was paying attention" she innocently said.
Drew's mouth dropped as his left eye twitch how could he be so forgettable to such a gorgeous girl. "Oh your aren't so bad looking yourself new kid" he heard Ursula say.
"My name is Drew" he said through his teeth not pleased the way he was getting treated by these girls.
"So are you a trainer?" Anabel asked
"As if I'm to handsome for all that brute force, I'm a pokemon coordinator" he proudly said.
"Great more coordinators" said a very sarcastic Paul.
"Whats that suppose to mean!?" Drew shouted to the arrogant teen.
"It means we don't need more coordinators at this school we need more trainers strong ones" he said.
"Why I outta!?" Drew said standing from his seat.
"Drew calm down" Ash from over Korrina.
Drew shut his mouth completing as he watched Ash who had know idea how close he was to Korrina.
Ash gave his best friend a confused look and eventually turned his head a bit to the left and saw Korrina's gorgeous light gray eyes, she smiled at him "hi yah" she said with a smile that made Ash feel warm.
He instantly jumped back with a full red face "sorry about that Korrina" he said, the girl giggled and smiled at him "it's okay" she said.
"Hey now I call dibs on the cute new guy" Ursula said.
"On me?" Drew said in disbelief pointing to himself.
"What? No the cute trainer, coordinators are not really my type" she said raising a hand as to block Drew's face.
"Hey!" Drew protested as Paul laughed at him. Drew looked at him "what's so funny?" He said glaring at the purple haired boy.
Paul glared right back "you of course, what did the girls from your old school love guys who were coordinators?" He said.
"Of course, girls loved trainers and coordinators equally" Drew said who was feeling insulted for being a coordinator.
"Well some girls do like guys who are coordinators but I personally like trainers because their just manlier and stronger" Ursula coldly said.
Drew's jaw dropped at this, this was the first time a girl has every told him this and to make it worse the girl was more interested in Ash. He knows he shouldn't be feeling like this but out of the two best friends he was always the handsome one at least he saw it that way.
"Uh Drew you alright pal" Ash said and the only response he got was a nod.
"Alright enough of that so Ash what's your rank here?" Gary asked wanting to change the subject.
Ash scratched his cheek with one finger and laughed "to be honest Gary I haven't checked since arriving here a month ago" he said.
Gary sweatdropped at this "really you get accepted to frontier academy and the first thing you didn't do was check your rank" he said.
"Well yeah come on Gary you know how forgetful I was" Ash said laughing.
"You're right I shouldn't be surprised" Gary said as he sighed and looked at Paul who nodded and pulled out his laptop to search for Ash's rank.
"Hey Paul why your at it check the cutie down there for his rank" Ursula said pointing to Drew who at that point was texting May not paying attention to the group above him.
"Whatever" Paul cooly said looking the screen.
"So have you taking a full tour of the island?" Anabel asked Ash.
"Well I only took a tour for my classes but not one of the full island" he answered.
"Than as your new friends we'll take you on a tour" Korrina said smiling at him.
Ash lightly blushed "thanks but I wouldn't want to bother you all" he said.
"You won't Ashy-boy plus we'll introduce you to the rest of our friends" Gary said.
"You sure about that Gary he's ranked 386th" Paul said looking at his friend.
"386 isn't so bad right? I mean there are 700 trainers in this sophomore class" Ash said.
"Hmph you think that's great how pathetic" Paul said which angered Ash.
"Yeah what's your rank mister moody" Ash said knowing that was a lame comeback.
Paul ignored the mister moody remark and smiled "well if you must know 386 my rank is 3" Paul said with a smirk.
Ash now was in disbelief "you're lying" he protested as Paul passed him the laptop. Ash grabbed it and was in for a bigger shock as the number 5 was Korrina, number 2 was Anabel and number 1 was Gary.
He looked at Gary who had a big smirk on his face "that's right Ashy-boy your friend is the number one trainer of the entire sophomore class" he said.
"Wow! I can't believe this Gary you're number one and Anabel you're second, Paul is third and Korrina you're fifth this is so awesome!" Ash said totally in fanboy mode right now.
"Hey I kinda like 386 now" Paul said with smile as Ash admired him for his rank.
"Than can you call him by his name?" Anabel said.
"I'll think about it" he said with a smirk.
"If you think thats awesome wait until you meet the rest of the top 10" Gary as Ash eyes lit up with joy "are you serious I can meet the rest of them!" He said.
"Of course all the top 10 know each other well expect for number 10 he rather hang out with a bunch of losers but enough about him, you'll be able to meet the rest though" he said.
"Well if you think that's impressive watch this" Ursula said as she clicked on a button that showed the top 10 for coordinators.
Ash looked at the screen and smiled "wow impressive you're rank 1" he said.
Ursula instead of smiling, pouted at how non-ecstatic the boy was about her ranking.
Drew instead was the one that reacted "that's gotta be wrong" he said taking the laptop to see and sure enough she was ranked 1, he quickly scrolled looking for his rank "what!? I'm only ranked 250 are you kidding I was 1st back at Hoenn high" he said.
"Oh I'm definitely not interested in you now" Ursula said taking the laptop leaving Drew to cry tears anime style.
"Well what do you say Ash want to meet the rest of the top 10 at lunch" Gary said passing Paul's laptop back to him.
"You bet!" Ash said in a heart beat not remembering he was set to have lunch with Drew and May.
Dawn &' May
May giggled to herself and this caught the attention of Dawn who was sitting next to her "what's so funny?" She asked her.
"It's Drew he's whining about how Ash stole the spotlight in their class" she said smiling.
"Really Ash?" Dawn said curious about how he stole the spotlight.
"Yeah apparently the girls are ignoring him well as he put it the super duper hot ones" she said the last part through her teeth.
"Girls?" Dawn said with a bit of disbelief coming from her voice.
"Ash did what know?" Leaf asked who was sitting across Dawn. They were seated at a round table with three other people who were all Leaf's friends.
"He apparently has the hottest girls in his class fighting for him" May said as she kinda of regretted saying this to Dawn.
"Ash? No way I don't believe you" Leaf said last she remembered every time she would even just grab Ash's hand he would blush mad red and run away.
"Oh look Drew actually sent a picture of a girl sitting in front of Ash" May said showing the group the picture expect for Dawn.
"Oh that's Korrina from the top 10" a girl with green eyes and brown hair said.
"Hmmm you're right Shauna that's definitely her" a girl blonde hair and green eyes said.
"Don't you think it's strange Bianca, she usually doesn't get close to guys like that unless they're from the top 10" said a girl with capri hair and teal colored eyes.
"You know who she is Marina?" Dawn asked as she grabbed May's phone to see a gorgeous girl with lemon yellow hair close to her Ash.
"Of course we all do she use to be one of our close friend and she dated one of the guys we hang out" Marina said.
"So she's a slut" Dawn boldly said
"What? No of course not she is just really friendly especially if she feels that person is a strong trainer" Leaf said not wanting Dawn to get the wrong idea of the girl.
"You kinda of sound jealous Dawn" Bianca said.
"Pfft me jealous, yeah right, as if, of her no way" Dawn said quickly as she crossed her arms.
"Sounds like jealousy to me" May said with a smirk which earned her a glare from Dawn.
"Hmm if your jealous does that mean Ash is your boyfriend?" Asked Leaf with a smirk of her own.
Dawn blushed "no!" She shouted and almost immediately she covered her mouth.
"Oh there is definitely something going on spill" said Marina.
"Ummm May?" Dawn said looking nervously at her best friend for help.
May took pity on the girl "well let's just say that it's complicated between those two right now" she said.
"Oh trust me I know how you feel" Marina said thinking of a certain trainer with a Typhlosion.
"I guess I can't relate since things with Barry are great" said a cheerful Bianca "but if it's a complicated relationship look no further than Leaf and her relationship" she added.
"I have no idea what you're talking about" Leaf said crossing her arms.
"Really? Well his name is-" Bianca was interrupted by Leaf "don't you dare say that jerks name around me" she said.
"Oh you girls are hopeless" May said laughing at the guy trouble her new friends were having.
"Wasn't it your boyfriend who was whining about not having the super duper hot girls drool over him" Dawn said smirking.
"Yeah but he won't do anything I'm the best thing that's ever happened to him" May said full of confidence.
"Well someone is cocky" Marina said as Bianca nodded her head.
"Of course I am I got my boyfriend on a tight leash right Dawn" May said nudging her.
"I hate to admit it but it's true she does have him whipped" Dawn said smiling at how May's ego probably grew ten folds.
Ash, Drew and Top 10
A ding could be heard from the classroom causing the groups of conversations stopped "alright class that's it I'll see you all tomorrow enjoy the rest of your day, you can be dismissed now" Professor Juniper said as the class emptied out.
"So what's your next class Ash?" Gary asked as they walked in group making their way to the exit of the region building.
Ash pulled out his schedule "poke-egg care" he said.
"Awww that stinks I won't see you until lunch" said a displeased Ursula from in front of the two boys.
"Have some self respect would yah" said Paul who was walking next to her and in front of those to were Anabel and Korrina who were chatting away about mega evolution, while Drew mopped behind Ash and Gary.
"Have a better attitude" she said earning a sarcastic laugh from Paul.
When they got outside Ash saw one guy and two girls walk up to Anabel and Korrina. "Who are they?" Ash asked Gary "oh the rest of the top 10 that's Jimmy rank 6" he said pointing to a boy with black hair and gray eyes. "That girl with orange hair is Misty rank 4" he said pointing to the girl "and the cute girl with red hair is Melody ranked 7th watch out with that one she can get you in a lot of trouble" he said with a smirk.
"What about ranks 8,9 and 10?" Ash asked
"Oh 8 and 9 are probably on the other side of the island by now they like being early to class" Gary said completely ignoring that Ash asked about 10 also.
They caught up to the rest of them in time to hear Jimmy say "man Hoenn is like the most boring reign ever".
"Than why are you taking a class dictated to Hoenn and it's history" Misty clearly annoyed at hearing Jimmy complain for the past 1 and a half.
"It was either that or learn about Unova man I should of taken Kalos instead" he said.
Melody saw Ash standing next to Gary and went up to the teen making him nervous at how close she was "hmmm your new here, your very handsome and I can sense your a strong trainer" she said eyeing the boy up and down "yeah you'll do I call dips" she said grabbing a hold of his arm.
"No fair Mel I already called dips!" Ursula protested.
Melody grabbed a pokeball and stared down the top coordinator "don't test me today Ursula" she said as the girl just huffed.
Anabel on the other was not going to let her do as she pleased especially not with someone as kind hearted as Ash "Melody how many time do I have to say you can't just claim a guy" she said.
"One to many times for my liking" Melody said.
This actually surprised Anabel usually she would back down but not this time "oh really?" She said.
"Yeah I'm not backing down this time, he's actually pretty cute and I want him" Melody said.
"I told you he isn't going to be your boy toy" Anabel said grabbing a pokeball.
"I say you guys settle this at lunch" Misty said wanting a see a battle between the two.
"Winner gets cutie here" Melody said grabbing Ash's cheek.
"Fine but I'm only doing this so he doesn't fall into your claws" Anabel said.
"Wait don't I get a say in this?" Ash asked.
"No!" Anabel, Misty and Melody shouted.
At that moment the warning bell went off meaning they had two minutes to get to class.
"Crap!" Jimmy said as he pulled put a pokemon.
"Agreed" Anabel said releasing her Alakazam and grabbing hold of it "Gary, Korrina need a ride" she said as Korrina shook her head and held onto the psychic pokemon.
"Make sure you get to class Ash you don't detention after school" he said he grabbed Alakazam and the three disappeared.
Melody simply walked to her next class as if she wasn't afraid of the consequences while Ursula and Misty made a mad dash for there classroom and Jimmy brought his Gogoat out and rode it to his next class.
"Man that strange huh Drew?" Ash said as he turned around to see his friend was no where in sight "oh man he's gonna be pissed" he said as he released Pidgeot and hopped on as is his fastest pokemon flew to his next class.
1 minute and 10 seconds later
"I'm here!" Ash shouted as he stumbled his way into class.
This caused some of the girls to giggle and most of the guys give him a strange look.
"You're late" said a man with a beard.
"I'm terrible sorry, I'm still finding my way around the island" Ash said with his hands clasped together.
The professor stroked his beard "very well since you are also a new student I'll cut you some for today don't let it happen again young man" he said in a serious tone.
"Thank you Sir! I promise it won't happen again" Ash said.
"Very well now please stand next to the new girl she was about to introduce herself before you rudely interrupted her" he said.
Ash bowed before making his way around only to stop mid-way when he noticed the girl standing at the center of the classroom had gorgeous sapphire hair and there was no mistaking who the girl was.
Dawn could feel she was being stared at but unlike the stares she was getting from the class this felt stranger, she turned her head to the left and her eyes were automatically attracted to the brown ones gazing at they belonged to her ex boyfriend Ash.
She was about to just run to him and give a bear hug but was brought back to reality when she heard her professor coughing. "Ahh sorry, right hello my name is Dawn Bertzil I hope we can get along this school year" she cutely said earning some whistle from the male population.
Ash cringed at the whistles sure Dawn broke up with him but to deny he still didn't love her would be the worlds biggest lie.
"Your turn young man" said the professor.
"Hello I'm Ash Ketchum it's a pleasure to meet you all" he said and didn't notice the eyes most girls were giving him.
Dawn like Ash early made a displeased face at the attention the love of her life was getting.
"Alright let me see what I can do about the seating arrangements" the Professor said as looked at the seating chart.
"Professor Venus if its alright Deedee can sit with me" said a boy with dark auburn hair happily said.
Professor Venus looked at the boy with a strange look as too why he called Dawn, Deedee. Dawn for her part blushed red at the embarrassing nickname and knew only person could call her that and by pure instinct shouted his name "Kenny!".
Kenny chuckled at this and waved at her "the one and only" he said.
"Dawn do you know that boy?" He questioned her.
"To my displeasure I do Sir" she said with a sigh.
"Well would you mind sitting with him or I could seat you with the new student" she almost instantly answered "I'll sit with Kenny!" She blurted out.
Ash clinched his fist because from his perspective it seemed as if she wanted nothing to do with him and it stung him.
"Alright and as for you Ash you can take a sit next to the girl with the pink hat" he looked at where the Professor was pointing to a girl with short honey blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes that some what reminded him of Dawn's.
Dawn saw Ash with his mouth opened practically drooling looking to who he was staring deeply at and when she saw she was not to happy "really Ash a blondie!" She mentally shouted as she huffed her cheeks.
"Will that be fine Ash?" Professor Venus asked.
Ash snapped out of his trance "yeah it's fine with me" he said with a smile that touched a nerve for Dawn.
"Alright you two can be seated and since it's the first day of classes I'll let everyone get to know their classmates" he said going to his desk.
Ash walked up to the double desk and sat down "hello I hope we can get along" he said with a smile extending his hand.
The girl looked at him and his hand and turned away huffing her cheeks.
Ash sweatdropped not knowing what he did wrong "come on now did I say something wrong?" He said.
She looked at him again and once again turned to not look at him "really Ash you don't remember me" she said.
Her voice was so sweet and it did hog Ash's memories a bit "we've meet before?" He cautiously asked.
The girl turned and looked him in the eyes, he stared deeply into them as if he was in a trance and than a flash of a girl with the same facial features the same blue eyes and long honey blonde hair flashed by his mind and it clicked. "S-Serena!" He stuttered at realizing who she was, "took long enough Ashy" she said crossing her arms.
"Oh come on Serena you have short hair now and I haven't seen you in 6 years can you really blame me" he said.
She looked at him and turn her head to ignore him.
Ash was confused once again "Serena? What's wrong?" He said.
"You don't call me Serena remember" she said refusing to look at him.
Once again something clicked and Ash knew what she wanted "oh come on Serena we're in high school it's embarrassing to call each other by those names here" he said but had no luck as the girl continued to ignore him. After some time Ash caved "fine Serie please talk to me" he said with a blush clear on his face.
Serena smiled and instantly wrapped her arms around his neck "okay if you say so Ashy" she cutely said this sudden display of affection made Ash blush even more as girls whispered things like "they're so cute" and "lucky her" while the guys said things like "that bastard" and "why him Serena?".
Dawn looked from her seat as she bite her bottom lip trying to hold in her rage "hey Deedee you alright" she heard the boy next to her say.
"Hmm yeah never better" she said struggling to contain her jealousy.
"So how you've been? It's been a really long time since we last spoke" he said with a bright smile.
Dawn sighed realizing how her old friend was trying his best to get her to talk "I've been fine Kenny still getting use to this school" she said.
"I know what you mean it was so strange for me to get use to this kind of thing" he said remembering how things were for him freshmen year.
"So when did you get accepted into this school?" She asked curious to hear his story.
"Well strange thing is probably a week after you left for Sinnoh" he said displeased at remembering the day he lost a friend.
"Have you seen Lucas?" She asked
Kenny sighed knowing why she would be asking about him "I only saw him one time during the tournament, after all each grade level has their own island so I really couldn't even hang out with him even if I wanted" he said.
Lucas was Dawn first boyfriend and he was a year older than her so therefore a grade ahead of her, they had broken up a month before Dawn left for Hoenn and the two haven't spoken to each other since then.
"Wait you said something about a tournament" she said looking right at the boy.
"Yeah, it's an annual tournament the school has, it places the top 10 student of each grade level and send them to the main island where they battle to see who is the best" he said.
"But you said you saw Lucas how could that be if your a coordinator" Dawn said confused.
"Oh well the knock out stages of the tournament begins all students of each grade can go watch the battles" he said.
"What do you mean knock out stages?" She asked curious about this tournament curious to see if she could meet Lucas again not knowing why she felt like she needed to see him.
"Ahh maybe you should wait until lunch my friend Trip is better at explaining this tournament since he is rank 10" Kenny said.
Dawn quickly asked her next question "does he know Korrina!?" She blurted out.
"Hmmm you've meet Korrina?" He asked curious to how his friend meet her.
Dawn shook her head "no but someone else I know did" she said looking at Ash who was happily chatting away with his friend.
Kenny looked at the teen and balled his hand into a fist "great another guy to compete for Dawn I just can't catch a break" he mentally said. Everyone since meeting Dawn back in pre-school he developed a crush on her and as the years went by it grew bigger but was heart broken when she began dating Lucas and was even more heart broken when he found out she would be moving. Now that she was back in his life there was no way he'd be losing to Lucas of this new guy, it was his time with Dawn.
"So who's he your crush?" He said in a teasing matter but soon regretted it as she lowered her head.
"No he's my ex boyfriend" she sadly said.
As bad as Kenny felt for her in his brain he was doing joyous backflips "if you ask me he's pretty stupid for letting such a perfect girl like you go" he said clearly trying to spit his game.
"Funny story, actually I broke up with him" she said sighing at the moment she would regret for the rest of her life.
"Yes he must of been a jerk" he mentally said as he tried his best not to smile. He placed his hand on her shoulder "do you want to talk about it? I was always there for you and still am" he said with a smile.
She looked at him and smiled "no let's just change the subject" she said as they begun to talk about something else for the remainder of class.
1 hour &' 30 minutes later
While Ash and Serena were talking about the great time they had as kids at Professor Oaks summer camp they were interrupted by the bell to signal the start of lunch.
"Yes! Lunch" Ash said with stars in his eyes.
Serena giggled at him, it might of been years since she last some him but he hasn't changed a bit since that summer "oh Ash did you know Leaf also attends school here" she said.
Ash utterly surprised as they walked out of the classroom not knowing Dawn and Kenny were behind them with Dawn paying close attention as she completely ignored Kenny.
"What? Really that's so awesome that means everyone that stood in cabin Dragonite are together" he happily said.
Serena knew who was the fourth person he was talking about "you mean Gary, you've alright meet him" she said as they exited the building.
"Yeah I have him and a couple of the top 10 in my first period isn't that great" he said clearly happy but not knowing what as transpired over the course of him not being with them.
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised you two were joint by the hip" she said with a sad smile.
Ash saw this and quickly wanted to make she was okay "you alright Serena?" He asked her as he stopped walking.
She did the same and was about to answer his question until a certain bluenette bumped into her causing her to fall over.
Ash quick on his feet snaked one arm around her waist and another behind her head just to make sure she wouldn't hit it. He blushed as he held her "umm you alright?" He said the only response he got was a nod from the crimson red girl.
"Ash!" He flinched at his name being shouted.
He lifted Serena up and let go as he turned around to meet furious sapphire eyes "what?" He asked a bit annoyed that she yelled.
"What do you mean 'what'?" She said clearly trying to tell Ash something.
"I mean what do you want?" He said a bit louder now.
"Ugh forget you jerk!" She said stomping her foot and walking away but was soon grabbed by the wrist.
"No you don't you owe my friend an apology for knocking her over" she said.
"Umm Ash I'm sure it was just an accident" Serena said with a low voice.
"See she said it was an accident not let go" Dawn said glaring at him.
At that moment Drew, May and Leaf came running to where the four teens were. "Woah Ash calm down buddy" Drew said clearly seeing his best friend was angry.
"Ash let go of her wrist" May said placing her hand on his.
He sighed as he let go of the bluenette "alright I'm calm-" he said as someone tackled him with a bear hug. He looked down to see blue eyes he hasn't seen since he left Pallet town. "Leaf!" He shouted as the girl shook her head and smiled at him, he wrapped his arms around the girl and returned the hug.
May smiled at the reunion between the two but turned to see that Dawn was fuming she looked just about ready to rip Leaf away from Ash. "Dawn don't forget there childhood friends who haven't seen each other in 3 years" she whispered to her best friend.
Dawn knew May was right, Leaf was an old friend and so was Serena but it didn't help that they were drop dead gorgeous.
"Hey I want in on that" Serena said as the two teens laughed an opened their arms to let Serena join.
"I thought I would never see any if you" Ash said with a smile "only one missing is Gary" he said and soon Leaf ripped herself from the hug while Serena more than willing kept hugging him.
"Leaf? Something wrong?" He asked as he had one arm draped around Serena.
"You alright ran into Gary?" She asked nervously.
"Yeah why? Is something wrong?" He asked first Serena gave him a weird look when she found out about Gary and now Leaf was doing the same.
"I'll explain at the cafeteria because you'll need to hear everyones stories about you buddy Gary" Leaf said saying Gary's name with disgust.
"Leaf whats going on?" He asked as his friend walked off in the direction of the cafeteria and he soon followed with Serena by his side and behind them were Drew, May, Dawn and Kenny.
