Chapter 2

Slateport High, In class

May, Leaf, Misty, Dawn and Ash were in Pokemon battle -class, it was a class mix of first and second year students. At this school they make classes depending on status. The age doesn't matter.

Ash usually thought battling was exciting, but lessons bored him to death. That's why he decided to take a nap.

May was chatting with her new friend Leaf, Dawn was taking notes and Misty slapped Ash on his head so he woke up.

'Where was that for?' he asked in pain.

'The teacher was looking' Misty lied.

'Oh, thanks Mist' Ash responded with a smile.

Misty blushed, and quickly turned her head. Why was she thinking someone annoying like him was so damn cute? Darn May who gave him that new look.

'So, you have some rumors?' Leaf asked.

'Hell yeah! You know Dawn?' May asked with a grin.

'Ow, that girl with skirts all the time?'

'Big change! She decided not to wear them anymore because of an accident today',

'No way!' Leaf asked in disbelief.

'Like hell yeah. And that dude who talks to no one I heard of… he might like her!'

'No way, he doesn't have a hart I heard!' Leaf said.'

Misty all hearing this chuckled. May really hooked up fast she thought.

'You guys need to hear yourself talking!' Misty said giggling.

'Paul is his name by the way!' Dawn yelled in anger, not realizing what she just did.

The whole class looked at her. Dawn's eyes widened.

She felt miserable when she saw two pairs of grey eyes looking at her.

That was Paul, but the most awkward thing was she couldn't read his eyes. It was blank.

'I- I need to go to the bathroom' she murmured with red face and stormed out of the class.

May and Leaf felt guilty and they followed her, ignoring the teacher.

'Can't you see It's important!' May yelled back at the teacher when she tried to call them back and they went after her.

Leaf stopped and doubted.

'Uhm.. Can I please go after Dawn? She's upset because off us..'

The teacher nodded and Leaf left catching up with May.

Everyone turned their gaze to Paul, who frowned.

'I think that girl knows Paul's name well' Barry blurred around the class.

This made a few people laugh, but Paul just shut his eyes. He wonders what that was about.

'Barry, stop asking for attention ,and class, tomorrow we're going to practice couple battles on the fields.'

'Hurray!' Ash beamed. Misty sighed.

'I wonder who Dawn want to be coupled with' Barry called through the class again.

'Stop asking for attention jerk' Paul said coldly.

After a couple of minutes the three girls came back. May and Leaf were both rubbing Dawn's back a little bit and then let go of her so she could sit on her seat again. Paul noticed her eyes were a bit red. He wondered why, he just couldn't see through people's mind. Even when he tried hard.

May and Leaf sat down again.

'Miss Cat, because you left without permission you get detention.' the teacher said.

'What w…' Leaf covered her mouth.

'shh May, don't make it worse!' she advised.

May counted to ten, and then Leaf removed her hand from May's mouth.

'Fine' she said harshly. ( a/n: For the people who get mad fast like me and O man I get mad fast… here's a tip: bite on your lips and count to ten even how badly you want to scream back. Or walk away and squeeze in a stress ball. It has nothing to do with the story but it helps you personally)

'OK, we still have 20 minutes of deathly boredom left. What shall we do?' Leaf asked.

'What do you think of listening to what the teacher says?' Dawn said dryly while rubbing her eyes trying to forget what happened.

'No thanks' May replied.

'Besides, you already know a lot of stuff. If you don't watch out you'll become a nerd'

Dawn ignored her reaction.

'I like to work on my future, I want to be accepted in Harvard.' She pointed out proudly.

May and Leaf clapped for her without making noise, and Dawn bowed.

That's good, a smile again. Paul thought watching from the other side of the classroom.

'Well when you have this perfect desk-job in your expensive office suite, I hope you'll donate me money later.' May winked knowing her future wouldn't be financially perfect.

'No worries May I donate you 10 dollars a week so you can drift home every weekend drunk' Dawn teased.

'What the..?'

'Hey May would you like to earn 10 bucks now?' Ash came into the conversation.

Before May could answer the bell rang (wow quick 20 minutes) and Ash pulled her out off the classroom followed by Misty and Dawn.

Leaf waved them goodbye, heading to her next class.

'10 bucks? It depends.' May answered.

'Look, we are both new. And it'll be awesome if we got some respect. I thought I'll get some more respect if I had at least one girlfriend..'

'What are you asking me on a date?' May interrupted.

Dawn gasped and Misty gave May a death glare. It said: You better say no!

'No no! I need your romance advice.' Ash quickly said.

'Since when did you care about this kind of stuff Ash?' Misty asked.

'Uhh..' Ash started thinking. But he's too transparent to hide things.

'It's Gary isn't it?' Misty said.

The three of them looked at Misty as if she had a second head grown out of her neck.

'What?' she asked.

'How did you knew, I even didn´t give you a clue.' Ash said.

' Instinct,' Misty quickly said hiding something. ´He's always competing with Gary, now he wants to beat him on his own game.'

' Well if that's so, Ash you don't need to prove yourself to Gary', May said.

' Please, please! Pretty please! I want to beat him in every way that's possible. Especially in this case HIS way!'

May sighed. ' oK then. Come at 4 pm at my house.´

' Yes! Thanks May you're the best!' He past the girls and had a evil grin on his smile.

'Gary is going DOWN!'

Then his stomach growled.

'But first I need food!"

May and Dawn sighed while Misty smashed her forehead.

'You can have my sandwich!' Misty grabbed it out off her bag and threw it at Ash.

But he forgot to catch and it landed on his face.

'That's for thinking girls are some objects to use to increase popularity!' Misty called and walked away doing the famous hair flick. It was possible because she had her hair down.

3:10, school's out, at the football field;

Dawn was right. May thought. She really liked parties. But actually that's the reason that holds her to not do it. With a parent like hers it.. NO she wont get depressed on this beautiful day. She had to be optimistic. May was outside. She saw the green football-field of the school. It was so pretty and green, it gives her summer sparkles in her body. 'Should I? … I should!'

May throwed her book-handbag away and stretched her arms up. She runned a couple mini-laps, just to warm up, and then she started to dance like a cheerleader and also do some stunts.

She didn't know someone was looking at her. It was a boy, with green hair. Yes of course it's Drew. Apparently he was rushing, because he was running first. But he stopped when he saw this girl. He stepped closer to her direction. He leaned on the bleachers and placed his sports bag beside him on the grass. He smirked while watching. When the girl was done, he revealed his presence.

' Well that was interesting', he said. May turned around and saw a familiar face.

'Look who decided to show up', May said.

'Do you have the money?' she said straight coming to her point.

'I have, but not with me. It's in my locker.' Drew said.

'Well go get it!' May asked impatiently.

'Not now, I've football practice,' he lied. He actually had try-outs, but that shouldn't charm his reputation.

'What are you doing here then?'

'Just to let you know that I'm a man of my word, so you don't think I'm a total jerk. And to introduce me. Don't you want to know the name of the dude who pays for your new blouse?'

'Not really, It only matters that I get the money' May simply said.

Drew saw more and more interest in her.

'Well for the most girls in this school it's a big deal I always thought. Besides, I actually only buy clothes for my girlfriend.'

May blushed a bit, not knowing why.

'Well that means I am an exception.' she replied.

'Coming to the point, where is the money?'

'It's in my locker now,' Drew replied.

'Well go get it,' May said impatient forgetting what he said earlier.

'I can't, I already said I have football-practice.' he said coolly.

'This explains why I'm on the field but.. What are you doing here?' Drew asks hoping she trained for the cheerleading try-outs.

'Nothing important', she said. Drew felt disappointment in her.

'Are you trying for the cheerleaders squat?'

'No' she said coldly. Now thinking of the conversation in the cafeteria.

The boy could tell that she wasn't shy, but what would be another reason to not try with talent like hers? What the reason possibly could be, it's must not stop her. He decided to try something.

'Good' he said smirking.

May looked up.

'Good? Why good?' she asked frowning.

'Because this way you wouldn't waist the time of the cheerleaders' he said.

'What the..?' May didn't know what to say on this.

'Only thing I'm saying, you couldn't make it anyway' the green haired boy said with a smirk again.

May was speechless.

'O yeah? …Well what do you think off a little bet?' May said.

Again, the boy was amazed by her responds.

'What did you have in mind?' he asked.

'Well if I don't become head-cheerleader , you don't have to pay me anymore.' May said.

'And if I become captain this year, you have to pay me' Drew said smirking.

'Deal' they gave each other a hand.

At that moment the football coach and the team appeared on the field.

'Hey Rookie, come up here! You're not even dressed yet. That'll be 2 extra laps for you!'

The boy sighed, and jogged to the building to the boys locker room.

Rookie? That's weird. May thought. So he just a newbie?

'MAAAAAAAAY!' she heard.

'Hey Dawn… DAWN!' May just shouted when she realized something.

'C'mon Dawn, why the hell are you wasting your time? We need to go to the cheer squad sign-up!' May cheered.

'So you changed your mind? WHOEHH!' Dawn beamed.

Both made their way to the registration.

…...

And now, questions who the cast will answer:

Cat (me):What the hack happened in the girls bathroom with Dawn, May and Leaf and why was Dawn so quickly over it?

May: Can't you tell? You came up with this!

Dawn: No don't tell! It was embarresing!

Leaf: Yeah! Girlstalk stays between the walls of the girlsbathroom.

Cat: Will Dawn become popular?

Drew: Who's Dawm?

Dawn; It's Dawn!

May and Dawn: How the hell did Misty know Ash's prob? Is she stalking him?

Misty: Hell no!

Cat: Will May get her money to buy herself a new blouse? Will Drew give a kick-ass party without his father busting him? Wil Dawn wear a skirt ever again?...

May: Who knows?And by the way I bet for 5 dollars Dawn's gonna wear a short skirt tomorrow. Who's in?

Leaf: Count me in!
