Chapter 2: Teaching
Paul walked down the hall to meet his friends and found them in their usual spot. He put his backpack on the table and put the folded black jacket on top. He sat down quietly as his friends greeted him.
"You're late, Paul." Barry said skeptically.
"Yeah, I slept in this morning." Paul said.
"Aren't you all glad that Mr. Ketchum and Mr. Takeshi are here with us for another year. They're even our teachers!" May smiled.
"Well, Barry, Paul, and I already took health in our first year." Drew said.
"Yeah, we only have Mr. Ketchum for Chemistry." Barry said.
"So what classes did you all choose?" Dawn asked.
"Well, we all have the basics which are Chemistry, Math, American Literature, and U.S History. (1) I took AP Statistics for math this year. I am also taking Spanish three and AP Art History." Drew said.
"I have all of those except I'm taking Algebra 2, French 3, and Health." May and Dawn said.
"I have the same as Drew except I have Algebra 2." Barry said.
The group looked towards a daydreaming Paul in question. Paul looked at his friends with a questioning face and asked them what they were looking at.
"What are your classes this year?" Dawn asked.
"Oh, I have the normal you know Chem, US History, etc and I'm taking Math Analysis B this year."
"I don't get how you can be so smart in math!" May yelled, annoyed.
"I know, Paul, you started school Honors Algebra 2/Math Analysis A, then you took AP Statistics last year. All you need is to finish Math Analysis B and that's it for you and math." Dawn said.
Paul looked at the two girls in amusement. "I'm also taking Drawing 2, and Spanish." Paul finished. The warning bell rang to signal students that they had ten minutes to get to class. The group walked to their first periods. The school bell rung again and the day had started.
Paul walked into his drawing class and took his normal seat in the back of the room, near the window. Paul looked out the large school window to see the sunny sky. 'Summer's ending and soon that bright, sunny sky will be a dark, gloomy one every morning' Paul thought and sighed. The class greeted the teacher as she walked in and they got started.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was break and Paul sighed heavily for the umpteenth time that morning. Only two periods had passed and he already had a project and a large math assignment. 'Looks like I can't spend anytime with Ash after school.' Paul thought and frowned.
He walked through the empty halls and gasped in surprise as two large, soft hands covered his eyes. Paul immediately pulled away and looked around in fear. "What do you think you're doing?" he hissed. "What if your caught?"
"Paul, you know better than I do that no one is every in the halls during break." Ash said as a matter of factly. "So, how was your first two periods."
"Boring and homework filled." Paul pouted.
Ash laughed and pushed some hair out of the younger boy's delicate face.. Paul pulled away angrily and huffed. "You know I hate it when you mess up my hair." Paul said and moved his hair back into place, over his eyes.
Ash laughed again and gave Paul a small hug before walking down the hall. "I'll see you later, Paul. I have to talk to Brock now." Ash said.
"Later." Paul said as he walked through the empty halls, listening to the echoes of his shoes on the floor.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Paul walked into his fourth period class and showed a slight smile when he saw the teacher. "Good Morning, Paul." Ash said looking to the clock at the back of the room.
Paul nodded and took the seat between to Barry and Drew who were already talking non stop. "Hey, Paul!" the Barry smiled brightly.
"How's your day been so far?" Drew said as he flicked his hair from his face.
Paul shrugged. "It was so boring."
"My classes have been okay. I like all my teachers so far." Barry said.
"I'm switching my first and third periods though." Drew said.
"Why, so you can be with May?" Barry laughed.
"Why not?" Drew smirked.
"You and your girlfriend." Paul said shaking his head.
"You're just jealous you don't have a girlfriend, Paul" Barry said.
"I don't need a girlfriend, Barry." Paul retorted.
Ash stopped writing and smiled towards the board at Barry's comment. ' That is true, Paul doesn't have a girlfriend.' Ash thought and went back to writing on the white board.
"Well, Chemistry should be better because Mr. Ketchum is an awesome teacher!" Barry said.
Ash turned from writing on the board and smiled at the class. "Now class, you guys are in your third year of high school, so we will start the class now. Get your books out and turn to chapter one."
The class groaned, but did what the young teacher said. "Now I want to start this class with a simple question. What is Chemistry?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Class hadn't started yet in Health. The students were waiting outside so Brock could set up their seats. Reggie was leaving a piece of paper on each desk. They heard the Freshman and a few Sophomores and Juniors outside talking. Reggie finished passing out the papers and turned to walk to the front of the room but gasped when he felt someone embrace him.
Reggie blushed heavily as Brock hugged him and pulled away. "Wh-what was that for?"
Brock walked to the front of the room and smiled back at the younger man. "You seemed really stressed from the other classes. Though I'd give you a hug."
Reggie nodded and took a deep breath, smiling at the older man. Brock opened the classroom door and gave the students the instructions to find their seat. Brock smiled at the greetings of some familiar students.
"Hey, Reggie!" Brock heard and looked over into his crush's direction. He saw Paul's friend May and Dawn with another girl. 'I think Misty was her name.' Brock thought.
After the class found their seats Brock started the class. "Alright, I know most of you are Freshman, so I wanted to welcome you to Veilstone High. Next, I need you all to take this slip form and have your parents sign it. I can't teach this class unless there is parental consent of the things listed on sheet. For now we'll do a simple work sheet." Brock said as he pointed towards the worksheets on their desks.
"It's a simple worksheet on your body systems. It shouldn't be too hard. Now get started." Brock said. "If you need help, my T.A Reggie will help you."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Come on, Drew, we need to practice for the big game coming up!" Barry yelled from the basketball courts.
"Stop it, Barry, we don't need to practice so much!" Drew said as he ran into the library.
Drew ducked under the large library window and heard as his friend passed by, yelling for him.
Drew sighed and stayed on his knees under the window sill. 'I think I'll hang out here for a while.' he thought before moving to look through some books. Drew gasped slightly in surprise when the library door opened, thinking Barry had found him.
"Hmm. No one's here. I'm alone." Paul said as he walked into the large, empty library.
Drew let out a breath and stayed behind the book case as Paul pulled out a book and sat at a table. He kept quiet for a little while so the person wouldn't find him. Just as Drew was about to crawl out the backdoor he heard another person walk into the library, and he paused mid crawl.
"I though you would be here." Ash said to Paul as he stood next to the mauve haired boy.
'Argh, why here? Stupid couple.' Drew thought annoyed.
"Well, no one ever comes here so it's the perfect place." Paul said as he stood up to meet the raven haired man.
Paul hugged the man tightly. "You know I love you, right?" Paul asked.
"Of course." Ash smiled.
'Maybe I can get out of here now.' Drew turned his head to look behind the bookcase at the couple. His eyes widened.
'What's Paul and Mr. Ketchum doing here?!' he thought in surprise. Drew kept his eyes on the embracing couple and nearly gasped when he saw Paul move his arms around Ash's neck.
Paul closed his coal colored eyes and moved in. Ash pulled Paul's body closer to his, and Paul had to tip toe to reach his boyfriend. Ash closed his eyes slowly, wrapping his arms around Paul's slim waist and claimed Paul's lips.
"Mr. Ketchum, there's a call in the office for you." a voice said over the P.A.
"A phone call," Ash said in disappointment. He pulled away from Paul with a small hug. "I'll be back in a minute." he said with a smile and left the room.
Paul stood in the library alone for a while before he hear d a foot step. "Who's there?" Paul called out. He heard the steps coming from behind him and turned.
"I didn't mean to see you, Paul, honest." Drew said as he walked up to his friend. Paul gasped in surprise as his eyes widened.
"A little advice, you should check the place out before you do anything." Drew said walking pass Paul to the door.
Paul turned around still surprised as Drew left his hand on the door handle. "Drew, about what you saw..." Paul started.
"I won't tell anyone, but I want to ask you one thing." Drew said, turning to his friend.
"What?" Paul asked.
"Does Reggie know?" Drew asked.
"No." Paul said and looked away.
Drew nodded and walked out the library door.
