Hi! Well this is my first fan fiction story, please correct me for any mistakes you find. This is AU by the way:D
Real name of who's writing/wrote the message(what the person who receives the message sees as a caller ID)
I rewrote this- 12/27/11:)
A girl with hopes of reuniting.
A redhead with a bitter past.
A brunette who sweared to never love, but when she did her heart shattered.
A boy with a secret that no one else knows.
The frozen heart that remains in denial
The boys behind the phone screen.
The music that brings back memories.
...And to one boy, the girl he can't seem to figure out.

"Thanks sir! I'm so hungry I could eat you right now," joked Dawn cheerily. The man chuckled nervously, his voice seemed awkward, the laugh seemed forced in order to maintain politeness: acting. Dawn graded it a C, he could fool a good amount of people but not her.
She sat down by herself in a table with her hamburger tray and water bottle. Her black shoes made a clicking noise as she walked to pick up some napkins. She placed her pink iphone next to her on the table. As she ate she constantly reminded herself not to loose this one, her second phone. Her first was somewhere along the Twinleaf Park, cancelled and broken. If anyone found it, the phone would be as useless as garbage to them.
When she left, she checked to make sure her hat still rested in her head, her silver star necklace sparkled as it touched the sun. The phone she reminded herself to bring along rested lonesomely.
Fifteen minutes later a boy saw the messy table and a pink iphone on it. He picked it up curiously and walked out- deciding to look through to see if he can find who's phone it was.

For Misty, what started off as a nice day went downhill fast. As she ran across the trail, she noticed a certain boy wrapping his arms around a girl, kissing her as if she were choking and needed CPR. Misty gagged, the kiss looked disgusting, it was then she noticed who the boy was: her boyfriend, Gary Oak. She ran off faster than the bunny hopping along next to her. Gary caught his girlfriend run off, he promised to see the girl he kissed next time and then ran off after her, hoping to mend the relationship.
"It's not what you think." said Gary. His eyes were filled with warmth, love, and kindness, but Misty knew better than that. She saw him kiss the girl with no hesitation, he initiated the kiss, and he now dared say she did not just see what she just saw?
"Then what were you doing there Gary Oak? Don't make up an over-used lie about how she kissed you or you were practicing CPR. I practically saw the whole thing," said Misty. Must not cry, he's only a stupid guy. A stupid guy I loved…or thought I loved.
"But the one I love is you. Misty...please! I'm sorry," apologized Gary.
The redhead turned to look at her ex-boyfriend. She tried to fight the tears that would come down, she thought she loved him. He was her first kiss, her first boyfriend, her first love. Her eyes gave him a cold glance that showed a fiery look that also seemed to contain ice.
"No…you're not sorry. Bye Oak," said Misty shakily. She ran home fighting the tears that threatened to fall. She hated crying, especially over a boy. Misty considered herself to be a strong woman who would not let anyone break her. She slipped her red and white sneakers off and immediately jumped into her comforting flowery bed. The last time she cried was seventh grade year; and the reason why was more acceptable than now.
"I really am worthless, crying over a douche-bag," said Misty as she wiped the tears off her eyes. She placed pictures that her friend Drew took of Gary and her where they just so happened to be pictured together- on top of her bed. She ripped them up- one by one. She started grinning a bit through the tears as each paper shredded fell into pieces. She wasn't sadistic, but boy did enjoy seeing his face ripped into shreds just like how her heart was shattered.
"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars…I could really use a wish right now wish right now wish right now..."
Misty picked up her red phone and answered immediately. She made a mental note to herself to change the ring tone. Airplanes was the song she and Gary first danced to.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Mist?" said a male voice. Misty immediately recognized the boy as her friend Drew.
"D-Drew?" said Misty.
"No it's Dawn," said Drew sarcastically. "What's up?"
"Nothing you'd be interested in," said Misty. She didn't want to disturb her friends with her problems. Well her best friends, she only had two friends: Dawn and Drew. They weren't popular at all, but none of them cared. Drew was suspicious why Gary asked Misty out a few months ago. She remembered snapping at him-telling him to more open-minded and less-judging. But now she knew how right he was…
"If it's Gary-"
"Yes," said Misty.
"What did he do? If you shred even one tear he won't be seeing the sunshine tomorrow,"
"He..k-kissed..I saw him k-kissing another girl in the park today. I didn't cry, I'm stronger than that Drew," said Misty. She tried her best to imitate a strong, self-assured voice.
"He made you cry didn't he? That-" Drew stopped himself. It wasn't the time to say "I told you so" to a girl who's heart was just broken. He couldn't understand how Gary did it; Misty was a girl who was constantly on alert and wary of mostly everyone. She was stubborn however; every time Drew brought up the "look at how fast he moves in relationships" argument she battled against it with a lie Gary told her.
"Don't," said Misty gently.
"Why?" said Drew grumpily.
"I'm just going to forget about him. That's all.." said Misty.
"I'm coming over, are your sisters home?" asked Drew.
"No, they barely are…" said Misty. Her older sisters- beautiful, talented, loved, and popular; words that nobody used to describe Misty. Gary never called her beautiful, he's called her hot before but never beautiful. Despite the beauty and fame her sisters produced, they were vain and people you'd hate to meet.
"Even if they were I'm still coming over. I'll help you burn the pictures," said Drew. He shook his head, "It's a shame that such great landscapes and sceneries were ruined by him,"
"Okay, if you are that bored you can," said Misty. She closed her red phone and continued to cut some pictures. She decided to talk to her other best friend, Dawn Berlitz about anything that crossed her friend's mind. She would rather hear about jeans and scarfs than the name Gary Oak ever again.

Hey Dawn, what's up? Misty looked at the text message again before sending it off. She thought it was good enough to send. Drew shook his head and grabbed her red phone. He rewrote the message- including more details about a certain auburn haired boy.
"Hey Dawn, it's Drew in Misty's house. Look, her boyfriend cheated on her. She caught him kissing another girl. Can you come over soon?" read Misty. Drew reached his hand out and clicked the send button.
"I was trying to forget about it, Drew," said Misty.
"Dawn would try and figure out revenge, probably better than my idea," Drew tried to reason. He smirked remembering what happened when his relationship failed, he was glad Brianna and him never kissed.
"How am I supposed to know where you live?" Drew read. He looked at the text message again to make sure he read right.
"Is she high?" said Misty. Drew typed in Misty's question and waited for the response.
Ash(Dawn):No, it's illegal. I'm sixteen years old and this isn't my phone at all.
"What on earth..., did she lose her phone again?" said Drew.
"Obviously she did- or this must be a joke." said Misty.
Misty(MW): This is a joke right Dawn? LOL? Misty wrote.
Ash(Dawn):Who is Dawn? This isn't a joke, I found an iphone with a pink cover and I was trying to locate the owner.
"Whatever you do don't arrange a meeting. This guy could be an old pervert who stole the phone from Dawn," said Drew.
Misty(MW): Likely story. Listen here, if Dawn happens to be missing I know who to tell the cops about. How do I know you aren't a pedophile who abducted her?
"I'm not going to meet this guy Captain Obvious," Misty said. She was smarter than that. She knew the possibilities of what could happen if she decides to meet some mysterious person. She then thought of her friend Dawn Berlitz….
Drew took out his silver smartphone and dialed Dawn's home phone number. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the cheery bluenette say hello. Misty immediately snatched the phone out of Drew's hand, wanting to inform her friend of what happened.
"Dawn, someone found your new iphone," said Misty.
"I lost it?" said Dawn. "Oh you're right, it isn't in my bag. Oh my god it isn't in my bag! My mom isn't going to be happy about this, I lost my first phone already!"
"Calm down," said Drew. "No need to worry, right?"
"You're right, no need to worry!" said Dawn confidently. If it weren't for her acting skills she would have shrieked nervously.
"Whenever you say that I happen to worry the most," said Misty. Drew and her were the closest ones to finding out when she was acting.
"How did you guys know that I lost my phone?" asked Dawn curiously.
"Long story…Misty caught Gary kissing some girl at the park. She called me up and told me about it. I texted you from her phone about it and someone texted back. He claimed he was trying to find the owner. I suggest we don't go and try to meet him. It's too risky," said Drew.
"Gary? Where is he!" said Dawn. Drew and Misty shared concerned, wide-eyed looks. Misty lost her temper often, Drew got used to it. But when Dawn did there was a reason to be afraid. One, she doesn't let anyone mess with her friends. Two, she will confront the person about it- when Brianna cheated on Drew, Misty and Dawn planned on having a little "talk" with her. Misty later told Drew she had no chance to speak as Dawn "took care of it".
"I don't know where he is, he was at the park," said Misty. She checked her phone and saw the alert of a new message.
Ash(Dawn):Really kid? I'm the pervert here? I have no interest in meeting up with you. My mom told me not to meet people online (this counts). You could be the predator here.
Misty tightened her fist, she did it sometimes to control her anger. "That thing! He dare say that to me? I am not a predator, I was a concerned friend who acted on human instincts alone!"
"C-Calm down," said Dawn.
"The guy called you a kid and a predator in the same text, don't they undo each other?" said Drew, hoping that would ease her.
"Yeahh! Look, he really didn't pick his words right," said Dawn calmly.
"You take this!" said Misty. She placed the red phone roughly in Drew's hand.
Drew(MW): You really know how to upset my friend. You know, she went through a bad break-up today with a playboy I knew was bad for her from the start. Yet she stubbornly continued seeing him...I would laugh along with you if that didn't happen. I've already refrained myself from saying I told you so to her.
"I AM NOT UPSET!" said Misty.
"Oh really? Hon, I'm not there but I can tell your blood is boiling," said Dawn.
"You're right Dawn, it is," said Drew. The green haired boy smirked and checked the phone to see a new message flash up.
Ash(Dawn):I'm not the teasing type, but that was fun. Your friend may have temper issues but she does not deserve to be cheated on. Whoever did that must already regret it. I'm happy to see a girl who is more concerned over her friend's well-being then meeting this mysterious man. Do not fret though, I am not a pedophile.
"ANGER ISSUES? That does it!" said Misty.
Drew shook his head, "Read the next lines,"
"Oh…well…that was surprisingly nice," Misty answered.
"I think Cinderella man seems to like you already," said Dawn over the phone. A small giggle escaped the bluenette's lips.
"We don't even know each other! And Cinderella man?" said Misty.
"His new nickname. We don't know who he is so we will now refer to him as Cinderella man," said Dawn cheerfully.
"If he heard that he wouldn't be so happy. Who would like to be called Cinderella man?" said Drew.
"Oh well, to us he's Cinderella man…since I'm not in the mood to think of a better name," said Misty.
And thus, Cinderella Man was born. But who was the mysterious guy? Those questions pondered in the minds of Drew, Dawn, and of coarse Misty.
Cinderella is most commonly known as the soft, gentle, and kind girl who never complains about work and lives with her evil step-family. It could also refer to how mysterious the girl was to the prince. However, in the end the prince uncovered the identity behind the mysterious girl. Would they get a chance to do the same? Cinderella and the prince got married and lived happily ever after. Would one of them perhaps be the prince or princess to the mysterious man? They didn't know what events would play out, however all three knew that won't be the last time the mysterious Cinderella man and the three talk.
Just how close could he be?
...
A/N: Hi guys! Wow, I used a lot of dialogue. I usually don't write so much speaking lines. This is the prologue. The real story will begin next chapter. Also, I split up the "girl clique" and "boy clique" to like blend it together a little. Some may ask why and how I separated them:
Personality and how each can contribute to the story. Their possible interactions in this helped with that also. Characters are mostly in character, I tried to add more into them or see what would happen if and such. As this is AU, no pokemon contests and battles etc. You wonder, if you take out the rival complexion what would the outcome be? Pokemon and such played a major part in each of the character's personality as I've noticed. I want to keep them as close to their canon as possible considering how they are older and a bit more mature than their ten year old selves
A/N: Till next time!:D
-Dawn.
LOL! That's actually my name by the way;)
And R&R? (What does that mean by the way? XD. I see it on so much fan fictions at the end)
