"How could you?" he asked me in a harsh tone. He stared at me with his onyx liked eyes full of disbelieve and hurt; my heart throbbed as I gently sank down to the cold stone floor. It was freezing outside the sun wasn't out and the clouds were grey, I was in a black tee-shirt with pink shorts; he was in long purplish panes and a black tee-shirt.

"I…" I tried to speech but nothing came out. My mouth was dry and I wanted to cry, I stared in his eyes and then he looked away. He grad something out of his pocket and threw it at my feet, I stared at it and started balling.

"Here, you can keep it I don't want it." He said as he started walking away.

"P-p-Paul!" I shouted after him

"Goodbye Dawn" He said

"No please don't leave me!" I shouted. I watched him as he got smaller and smaller, I closed my eyes and hit the ground with my fits, and it started to rain.

"I'm so sorry" I whispered

-Pause-

Your probably wondering how I got here and why I'm crying about Paul, Well I think the best thing to do is to start at the beginning.

-Flashback-

It all started on my 18 birthday. I was walking home from high school it was a beautiful day, everyone at my school wished me a happy birthday except for one person and his name was Paul Shinji. I was one of the most popular girls in school, but for some reason he never told me happy birthday at all. I use to have a crush on him when I was little. I would say hi when I would see him, but when we would speak to each other he wouldn't even remember my name-

Bump!

"Oww!" I muttered, glaring at the ground as if it was its fault I was on it. "I'm sorry I didn't see you there" I said as I scratched the back of my head.

"Well, watch where you're going next time, Troublesome." A gruff voice said.

"Huh?" I glanced up, frowning as I saw my ex-crush standing before me, his muscular toned arms crossed and a frown on his face.

"Why is it I'm the one on the ground?" I asked, annoyed at my lack of stamina when it came to balance.

Paul rolled his onyx liked eyes, still grimacing. "Because you're so scrawny, that's why."

I frowned, annoyance starting to bubble like cooking soup in the pit of my stomach. "You know they're nicer, less insulting words that haves the same definition of 'scrawny'." I retorted, standing up and brushing off dust from my short beige shorts.

"Hmm…." I felt my cheeks go warm as he looked me up and down.

"Heh. I see you're the same as always." He sneered.

My cheeks burned red, but not from embarrassment this time. "What is that suppose to mean?" I squealed, not liking his tone of voice.

He smirked, some of his purple bangs covering his face. I noticed this, feeling ashamed and angry as my heart sped up at the hotness that radiated off of Paul. I'm not going to be a desperate fan girl! I thought to myself. He's trying to make me mad so don't play his game

"I'm talking about still wearing those slutty stupid outfits of yours." He replied, his smirk growing at the loud gasp he got from me.

I opened her mouth, preparing to attack Paul with words, but found that I couldn't come up with a comeback.

I clenched my teeth together; suddenly feeling uncomfortably hot in my beige blue shorts with a fashionable gold belt and the black vest and pink crop top t-shirt that of course didn't even surpass my belly button. My eyebrows knit together as I tried to come up with the perfect comeback.

It didn't come.

"I… I see you're still the same jerk as ever. Do you still not remember my name?" I mocked, crossing my arms uncertainly in front of me.

"It was Dee-dee right?" He smirked as he enjoying the hatred that roared in my eyes at the nickname.

"No not right! Eavesdropper!" I shouted, anger once again starting to bubble like boiling spaghetti on a stove.

"I'm not an eavesdropper," He said, also crossing his arms. "I just happened to overhear that… friend of yours at school. He has such a loud mouth, who can't hear him? It is your name, isn't it?"

"Tch. Nooo…" I muttered, letting out a puff of air, blowing at my blue bangs that have fallen onto my forehead.

"It's Dawn. D-A-W-N. Dawn." I told him, my eyebrows still furrowed together.

"Like I care…" He muttered, pushing his way past me.

I growled as he passed, my anger growing inside of me at the indifference he had for other people and their feelings. I can't believe I liked him! I've known him since we were 5 years old, and for some reason he would never be nice to me! Well, it's still my birthday so I should be happy.

I got to my house finally.

"Now where is that key?" I stared to search my backpack for it. "There it is" I grade it and put it into the key hold and turned it opened. I walked inside but it was dark, I started to search for the light switch.

"Where did that light switch go…? Oh here it is." I switch the light on and then out of nowhere my mother, Pipulp, Reggie, Brock, Ash, Pikachu, Misty, May, Drew, Max, Kenny, Conway and Zoey spring out of there hiding spot and shouted

"Surprise! Happy Birthday Dawn! Pikachu! Pipulp!"

"O my, thank you guys" I smiled at everyone

"So how's it feel to be 18" Misty asked as she kept elbowing me in the stomach

"O gosh, don't even remind me!" I said laughing

"You have a boyfriend yet?" asked May

"Nope, I don't" I replied to her

"Dawn,… me and Drew are together. Um Ash and Misty, Kenny and Zoey, even my little brother has a girlfriend." Said May

"You're the most popular girl in the school! How are you still singly?" asked Misty

"I don't know how" I said

"Weird" muttered Zoey

"I'll be your boyfriend" said Conway as he appeared right beside me. He graded my arm and my mom graded him and threw him off of me.

"I don't think so!" said my mother says she slapped him across the face

"Never mind…" said Conway as he fell to the floor

"Anyway… Dawn I think you should open peasants." Pointed out Ash

"Good idea" I said starring at my mom. Is she drunk again?

"Here me first" said May as she handed me a big box. I opened it to see that it was a new bag and a small box full of ball capsules!

"It's from Drew, Max and Me. I hope you like it." She said blushing

"I love it! Thanks" I said as I hugged them

"Us next" said Ash as he handed me a huge bag. "It's from Misty, Brock, and Me." He said nervously. Inside was a pair of new black tennis shoes, and a pair of blue roller stakes.

"How did you guys known I needed roller stakes for my Pokémon Coordinator contests?"

"We guessed!" laughed misty

"Here this is from Kenny, Me, and … Conway" said Zoey as she handed over a small box and inside was a beautiful bracelet that had a pipulp on it!

"How? Did you guys know I wanted this one?" I asked "Hey pipulp it looks like you" I said making my Pipulp proud.

"I told them."Said Conway with a sneaky voice

"I was afraid you were going to say that" I muttered

Everyone started laughing

"This is from me and your mother" said Reggie. I was a huge box and inside was a whole new outfit!

"…" I was in shock

"Do you not like it?" asked my mother

"You kidding I love it! Thank you Reggie and mom!" I said as I gave them a huge hug.

"Thank you everyone for everything!" I shouted. Everyone shouted welcome back. "Ok time for cake!" I shouted. "YAY!" we all cheered

-7 hours later-

"Thanks for coming! See you soon!" I waved as they drove off into the night. I shut the door be hide me and walk to my mother who was pasted out on the coach with my pipulp. I graded a blanket and put it over them, and then I graded the dish and took them to the sink.

"I had lots of fun today!" I said cheerfully "but" I said thinking to myself. I wish he was here or at least he could say happy birthday to me. Then suddenly the doorbell rang.

"Who's up at this time of night?" I said as I walked towards the door. I open up the door and no one is there except a small box and a card. On the card it said to Dawn, I picked it up and ask if anyone is there. No reply so I with inside, and read the note it said:

Happy 18th Birthday Dawn. I hope you like it.

"That's weird it doesn't say who it's from?" I said out load

I looked at the small long pink box for a long time, and then opened it to see what was inside. Inside was a heart shape necklace it had a pearl and a diamond right next to each other and the heart was made out of platinum. It was so beautiful; it started to make tears form from my eyes.

"It's so beautiful!" I said as I put it around my neck. I wonder who this person is who get this to me? I wonder how much it cost? What time is it? I looked that the clock on the wall and it said 12:00pm. Crap, I need to go to bed; I guess I'll have to finger it out later then. I went to my room brushed my teeth, and got ready for bed, then looked out of my window.

"What a beautiful night, the moon is so pretty" I said as I look at the sky. My eyes started to wonder when I saw a dark finger walk away. Who is that? I thought.

-To the dark finger-

"Looks too me she really likes it" said the dark finger as he starred to walk away, he let out a huge sigh "that's good" he muttered to himself. "Time to go home."
