Second Chapter! I hope you guys like it.

Again, I don't own Pokémon. I do own Adele and any unfamiliar characters though


Monday Morning, 7:00

Maddy and I were walking across town in the early morning on our way to school, our heavy backpacks slung over our shoulders. It would've been quiet and peaceful if Maddy hadn't been on the fun with her mom, who for some reason found it necessary to scream at the top of her lungs whenever she was on the phone with anyone. I would've laughed, but Maddy looked like she was in serious pain and was holding the phone about four feet from her ear and could still hear every screech perfectly. You had to feel sorry for her for having to deal with her overbearing mom all day. She only ever got a break from her when she was over at my house or when her dad came home from his job unloading cargo ships in Vermillion, which was only every two weeks.

"Yeah mom, I studied for- no she's not corrupting me- Mom I- MOM! I have to go, we're uhh… We're going through a tunnel! Love you bye!" She shouted over her mom's protests and hung up the phone quickly and sighed. "She's driving me insane," she groaned while rubbing her temples.

"Did she ask I was corrupting you?" I chuckled. Mrs. E did not like me in any way. She tried to keep us from hanging out for years because she thought I was a bad influence. I don't know why though. I've never done anything illegal; unless you count attempting to break in to the Viridian's old abandoned gym last year. I was just curious, who wouldn't be? And I also t-p'd the Ketchum's mansion down in Pallet Town two years ago. It was just a harmless prank, and anyway, that asshole Daniel Ketchum had it coming. Calling Maddy a stuck up hoe was not his smartest move. Not that any of his moves are smart, he's an idiot to the highest degree. The only thing he's got going for him is his Daddy's money, and Mr. Ketchum isn't going to put up with his crap forever. Mr. and Mrs. Ketchum are pretty cool. How they ever managed to spawn something so awful and repulsive is beyond me. Even their daughter Sophie is better than him, and she's nine. Anyway, back to the present.

Maddy laughed lightly, her short brown hair flew behind her in the wind and the freckles that covered every inch of her face stood out in the morning sun. "Yeah, but when hasn't she? She's still trying to get me hang out with Natasha. Like that's ever going to happen, she hates me. The feeling's completely mutual, by the way." Natasha Kane is, to put it bluntly, the town bicycle. Not the kind of person anyone with any amount of self-respect or dignity would want to associate with. She has a way of making everything worse. She's also incredibly beautiful. No, life is not fair. Sucks, doesn't it?

We got to school pretty quickly, which is a good thing since we were running a bit late, as per usual. We ran up the front steps and tugged open the heavy front door. We were greeted by the famous death glare of our teacher, Ms. Goodman, who is an evil old cat woman who lives by herself in a creepy old house in the woods. She hates me more than Maddy hates Natasha. Mainly because after I was down t-ping the Ketchum's I had some extra toilet and...Well, you get the picture. She doesn't have any proof it was me, but she knows. Ever since she's been extra hard on me; giving me extra homework, double detentions, you know, the works. "Nice of you to join us: Ms. Eckert, Ms. Lerman. Be thankful I don't give the both of you detention. Wouldn't that be your fourteenth this month, Ms. Lerman?" She asked giving me her trademark creepy smile. I heard snickering coming from Natasha's crowd, but I ignored it. I don't give them any attention, it's what they want. "Take your seats. Now, let's continue with our lesson. What were we talking about? Oh yes, get out Handling and Training for Beginners and turn to page 306, chapter fourteen. "


Thanks for reading this and I hope you enjoyed it. It's a bit of a filler chapter but I just wanted to introduce you to Maddy and Daniel, as they're important characters. I also wanted to show you a little deeper into Adele's personality. Please review; it's what gives me motivation! Critiques are completely welcome. Thanks.
