I do not own Pokémon because I'm too cool for Pokémon.

Paul just stop! You know that you're my boyfriend, right? Not him, you." I could hear her yell.
"Yeah, I know that. And maybe it's a mistake." He snapped.
*~.Dawn's Point Of View. ~*
Wait. Did he just say what I think he said? He couldn't have. Paul isn't like that. But ever since the beginning of today he has been.
"What is your problem Paul?" I screamed. I knew we were attracting attention but I was too angry to even care.
"You already know!" Paul looked around and saw the crowd. In a calmer voice he said,"Let's talk about this later."
But it was too late. I couldn't help myself from screaming at him. I loved Paul but when he acts like this- I just can't explain how much it bothers me. "No Paul. You've been jealous ever since he came. I have no idea why. He's my good friend and you are just being plain rude. I love you Paul but you need to stop this. I can't deal with it anymore. You're not the same guy I first met." I sighed with relief, knowing I laid everything out on the table.
"You just met him, how can he be a good friend already? Besides people change, you of all people should know that!"
"I've had better conversations with Ash than you and he's been here for one day! What are you trying to say Paul? That I've changed? Let's be realistic, we both know that's a bunch of bullshit."
"When we met you were so calm and normal not giggly and bubbly. You've changed. In 6 hours you've completely changed." His voice was strong and confident, like always.
"That's the real me! I've always been like that until 9 months ago when I meant you! You changed me Paul." I was trying my best to be strong, but it was no use, tears were pouring down my face. He gently wiped away my tears with his thumb, and pulled me into a tight embrace. This is the Paul I knew.
"I'm sorry Dawn. I'm truly sorry. I'll try my best to be better, okay? I would do anything for you. Give me one more chance please. I want you to be yourself around me, I want to be the guy that you want." He murmured, kissing my forehead.
I shook my head. "I can't, not if you can't accept Ash. He's a really good guy."
"You don't know him though Dawn. You are willing to throw our whole relationship away for some guy you just met?" His voice filled with anger, and once again we were fighting.
I pulled out of the embrace and stared at him. I knew he was right but my gut was telling me that I had to stick up for Ash. I listened to my gut because I know in the end it's usually doing the right thing. I was about to say something when a piece of hair caught my eye. Ash. Was he here the whole time? His face is bright red! I've embarrassed him! I looked around to see everyone looking back and forth between me and Ash. I felt so bad that I completely forgot about Paul standing there.
"..Ash..." Was all I could make out. I felt terrible. Absolutely terrible. He shook his head and walked away, head down. I didn't realize I was running after him until I heard Paul yelling at me to come back. "Ash please wait! I'm sorry!" He didn't stop. In fact, he ran faster. I put on the brakes and took a moment to rest. Why do I care so much about keeping him as a friend? I have plenty of friends. But none of them make me feel like Ash does. Stop it Dawn. You just met him.
*~. Ash's Point Of View. ~*
She was standing up for me, but why? We don't know each other, besides her relationship is on the line. I thought everything was going fine when Paul apologized, but Dawn needed me in the deal. Why though? I'm not special. I'm just Ash. Ash Ketchum. Nothing special about me, so why was she making such a big deal out of this?
I saw everyone stare at me. Now everyone is going to think of me as the boy who ruined a relationship. Great, just when I thought I was catching a break. I can't believe she's doing that to me, talking about me in front of all these people who don't know me. Well they certainly know me now.
Then she looked at me. I couldn't remember why I was mad. Her eyes were glued to mine. I could feel my face heating up. But it wasn't from the stares I was getting from random kids, it was from her. How does she make me feel like this? Why does she make me feel like this? She's just like any other girl. No. She's different Ash and you know it.
I couldn't look at her anymore, so I walked away. I knew she was chasing after me, but I couldn't let her talk to me, at least not now.
*~.Paul's Point Of View. ~*
She left me, for that Ash kid. How could she do that? Is she really not herself when she's around me? Did I change her? I have to make things right. I really do love her.
*~.Dawn's Point Of View.~*
I knew where Ash lived since Drew said a week ago someone bought the house beside him. It had to be Ash. I can feel it.
I ran in the direction of Dew's house as fast as I could. I needed to apologize for embarrassing him. Once I got to his house I knocked on the door and was greeted by a older woman, who was probably in her mid thirties.
"Uh hi. I'm Dawn, is Ash around? I really need to talk to him." She nodded her head and gave a short laugh.
"Yeah come on in, I'll get him," I stepped into his house."For just moving in it's pretty nice. "Ash honey someone is here to see you!" She called to him.
I gave his mom a shy smile," You have such a beautiful house, you wouldn't even tell that you just moved in." I complimented.
"Thank you! I've been working so hard to try to come up with something different. Oh, where are my manners, would you like anything to drink or eat Dawn?" I shook my head.
"No thanks I'm good." Why isn't Ash coming down? Did he not want to see me?
"You can go up to his room Dawn it seems he didn't hear me. It's the third door on the right." I nodded my head and said a quiet thank you as I headed upstairs. Why am I so nervous? I've apologized plenty of times before. I knew the real reason. Every person I ever apologized to wasn't Ash. Why do I care so much about him?
My hands were shaking madly as I reached for his door handle. Then I remembered I needed to knock. I knocked lightly on the door. No answer. So I knocked harder. Still no answer. I banged on the door this time. "Ash Ketchum let me in right now!"
Automatically the door opened to a confused Ash. Oh Arceus why does he look so cute? Stop it Dawn! It's not the time for that. I gave a sheepish smile and blurted,"I'm so sorry Ash! I didn't mean to embarrass you. I just thought that we could be really good friends, and I kind of thought you felt that way too. I mean you probably don't and I'm probably embarrassing myself right now. Again sorry about Paul, funny how I already said that eh? Paul can be nice, but I didn't mean to embarrass you. And I'm saying the same things over again aren't I?" Why does he make me so nervous? "Ash, I really hope this doesn't ruin our friendship, I mean that we aren't really friends or anything. It's been a day but I just feel like we really connecte-" I stopped talking when I heard Ash laugh. "I was rambling on again wasn't I?" I asked, making my face burn up. He nodded his head and gave a smile.
"Don't worry about it, I like when you ramble."It makes you look cute "I feel like we can be good friends. Well at least I hope. So let's start new okay?" He extended a hand, which I gladly took. As soon as we touched I felt something inside me. Something I never felt before. What was that feeling? It wasn't bad, actually it felt good.
*~.Two Weeks Later.~*
Ash's point of view.
Everything was going pretty good. Dawn and Paul had got back together, our project was going great. I became friends with everyone at our table, especially Drew, and Paul was making an effort to be nice. But the best part is the me and Dawn have become really close.
I made my way to our lunch table like I always do now. Everybody was already there; they all greeted me as I took a seat next to Misty.
"Hey Ash, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies tonight?" Misty asked. Is this a date? Did Misty just ask me out?
"Who's going?"
"Well the thing is it's kind of a triple date, May with Drew, and Dawn with Paul." I could see her cheeks turning pink. How could I say no? Misty was awesome, but did I feel that way about her? "Look Ash, if you don't want to go that's fine. I just thought it would be… fun. "
"No it's okay Misty. I want to go, it'll be fun." I answered, giving her a smile.
"Okay great! I'll see you there at eight okay?" I nodded my head and watched as she left the cafeteria with a grin from ear to ear. What's so bad about going out? Nothing at all…
*~.Dawn's Point Of View.~*
Did I just hear that right? Misty and Ash are going to the movies with us? Are they a couple now? How could that be? Misty isn't even Ash's type. I'm Ash's type. Wait what? I'm with Paul. I love Paul. I have feelings for him, not Ash. So why do I even care if he's going out with Misty? I don't. Not one bit.
My thoughts were interrupted by Ash. "Hey Dawn you ready for history?" he asked me.
"Yup let's go." I gave Paul a kiss on the cheek as I left with Ash. The way to class was silent, way to silent. We always had something to talk about, but not today.
"Misty and I are going with you guys tonight." Ash said, breaking the silence. I could feel my temperature boiling, but why?
"Yeah I heard her asking you." My voice was sharp. He looked at me for a minute, not saying anything.
"You're not mad are you?" He was obviously confused. Typical Ash.
"Mad? Why would I be mad? It's your choice not mine." I stated.
"Oh sorry, it just sounded like you're mad." His eyes stared at me, apologetically.
"Sorry Ash. I've been having a rough day; I don't mean to be yelling at you." He gave me shy smile as he opened the door that led to the classroom. I didn't even notice we already were at class.
*~.At Home.~*
May came over my house at six so we could get ready together.
"So Dawn, how are things with you and Paul?" She asked.
"Good."
"Okay. I guess you don't want to tell your best friend what's really going on. Oh well. Anyways what time is Misty supposed to come?"
"I'm not keeping anything from you. And Misty is on her way." I replied.
"Whatever. I just can't believe Misty asked out Ash." There goes my temperature; boiling up once again.
"I know! Misty isn't Ash's type!" I blurted out.
She raised an eyebrow at me. What had I said? I just said the obvious. "So what is Ash's type then Dawn?"
"Well I picture Ash with someone who is smart, carefree, funny, pretty, and popular but has a tough side." May burst out laughing at my answer, "What May?"
"You just described yourself Dawn."
"No I didn't! I'm nothing like that." I argued.
"Yes you are! So enlighten me, do you have feelings for Ash?" I stared at her. Do I?
