Chapter 1

Rosa's POV: I was at Floccesy High School on a rainy Tuesday morning, in my desk in math class. Hugh. He was all I could think about. How tough he was, how strong he was as a Pokemon Trainer. How handsome he was. How perfect he was. I just wanted to be his already.

"Rosa, please write the answer to number three on the board," Mr. Drost said, interrupting my daydreams. I was so lost, I didn't even know what worksheet we were going over.

"Umm…what page are we on?" I asked, sweeping a strand of hair from my face. I could hear snickers from my classmates.

"Rosa, how many times do I have to tell you to stop daydreaming? It's time I've started to call your parents. Not just to Rosa, but to many other members of our class. You know who you are," Mr. Drost began to lecture. "How do you all expect to be successful in life and with your Pokemon if you do not pay attention in class and take notes? You are AP honors students and high school juniors. I expect much more of you." His eyes gazed at all of us around the room. His eyes then landed on Marley. "Marley, do you know the answer to number three?"

"Why yes I do," Marley replied.

"Thank you. Go write your answer on the board," said Mr. Drost.

As Marley walked by, she gave me an evil glare with a smirk. She didn't say any words, but I knew exactly what she was thinking. Marley liked Nate and was jealous that he liked me instead of her. She thought she was so much better than me and tried so hard to ruin my life, even though all of us at school knew she was a terrible trainer and tried getting her older brother to toughen up her Pokemon to make it seem like she worked hard with them during battle practice.

"It's okay, Rosa. We can't pay attention all the time," Hugh turned around from his seat and reassured me. Soon, the bell went off and rang.

"Alright students, see you tomorrow. Do not forget your homework!" Mr Drost said as we pushed our chairs into the desks and got up.

"I'll wait for you, Rosa," Hugh said as I packed my stuff up.

"Thanks, Hugh!" I thanked him, smiling. I finished packing up and walked up to him.

"Here, lemme take you stuff babe," he said. He called me babe,I thought to myself as butterflies ran through my stomach. He is so perfect.

As Hugh and I entered the hallway, I spotted Nate and Leaf standing next to Hilbert and talking to him.

Chapter 1

Hugh's POV: I gazed outside of the school window from my desk on a rainy Tuesday morning, watching all of the Unfezants fly up into the pine trees. I couldn't do anything but think about the girl I was in love with—Misty. They call her the "Tomboyish Mermaid," but she doesn't look too much of a tomboy to me. She is gorgeous, a skilled gym leader who knows anything and everything about Water Type Pokemon. But what sucks is that she doesn't love me back, she likes this kid named Ash. I still miss her so much. It's been almost two years since I've come back from my vacation to Kanto and we haven't talked since, but I want to know how she's doing. I gave her my number but she has never called me. I hate feeling so lonely and I think a girl could make my life less stressful; at school and at home. Maybe I'll just flirt around with Rosa this time until Misty could come back around.

Right then, Mr. Drost called on Rosa to answer a question. "Umm…what page are we on?" she asked. My classmates snickered. Typical Rosa, always gazing off in her own world. Mr. Drost began to lecture Rosa and the rest of our class about how we are AP honors students and that he expects much more of us. I wanted so bad to pay attention but Misty was still lingering in my thoughts. Mr. Drost then called on Marley, one of the smartest kids in the class, to write the answer.

"Marley, do you know the answer to number three?"

"Why yes I do," Marley replied.

"Thank you. Go write your answer on the board," said Mr. Drost. Marley strangely stared down Rosa as she walked to the front of the classroom.

"What's up with her?" Adam, one of my best friends, whispered to me.

"No clue," I answered. I knew it had to do with Marley liking some guy but I didn't know the full story.

As Marley walked back to her seat I turned around to see Rosa. "It's okay, Rosa. We can't pay attention all the time," I said to her. Soon, the bell went off and rang.

"Alright students, see you tomorrow. Do not forget your homework!" Mr Drost said as we pushed our chairs into the desks and got up.

"I'll wait for you, Rosa," I quickly said as went to the front of the room.

"Thanks, Hugh!" she said smiling wide.

"Here, lemme take you stuff babe," I said, offering a hand. Okay, maybe I liked Rosa a little bit. But a little crush on a schoolgirl will never compare to what I feel for Misty.

As Rosa and I entered the hallway, I spotted Nate and Leaf standing next to Hilbert and talking to him.
