A/N: I am so sorry that I have not been able to update in a year(basically two years) but I was in a sort of hard place to write and I had lost all of my inspiration but I am back with chapter two(I am especially sorry to those who reviewed my first chapter: LEGAL-EAGLE 53, Mysteriousnightfoxes, and Ins4ne Jester 101.) I understand if you are frustrated with me, but please give me some constructive criticism and tell me whether I should write the story in a point of view besides Leaf's. I'm sorry if there may be grammatical errors. Oh, and can we assume that Dawn had called Leaf Lele from the beginning please.

*I do not own Pokemon or these characters but I like to say I sort of sculpted their personalities. *

I stared at the ground, my eyes widening as I remembered what... happened. "Lele, are you okay?" asked Dawn, who was starting to sound concerned for it had been about thirty seconds since Gary had said my name and I hadn't responded yet. "I-I'm fine" I struggled to say. I looked up and saw the boy I once loved, the boy who I knew and trusted, before it happened. At the sight of him I froze, and then started shaking.

My hands went up to grasp my head, trying to stop the memories that were flashing through my head. I closed my eyes and tried to make it all go away but it just got worse. I opened my eyes, took in a deep breath and slowly calmed down. I lifted my hand to move my hair out of the way, but then I saw blood on my hand. I started shaking again but before I could cause a scene, (a real one) I ran. I could not handle it; maybe I would never be able to.

After I had washed up I walked out of the bathroom and started heading towards my dorm where I would be staying at until Christmas time. I shared the dorm with Dawn, May and Misty. I hummed a little as I slid my ID card across the slide thing on the lock. As I was opening the door I suddenly remembered that I had basically had a panic attack in front of Dawn and May. I saw them and Misty sitting on the couch and I decided that I would keep bending the truth just ever so slightly.

"Hey guys!" I chirped. Dawn got up, walked up to me, and asked, "Lele….what happened out there?" she was looking very worried and completely more serious than she usually was. "Oh that? Well, I sort of, maybe ate eight pancakes today and I was also sort of in a hurry so it all just.." I left it at that. Dawn's face of concern turned into a face of relief, "I can't believe you ate all of those pancakes and still held it in for so long." she said with a tone of disbelief. "I bet you I could eat ten." said May from her spot on the couch but also looking relieved as well.

"Wait, what happened?" asked Misty looking thoroughly confused. "I guess you were too busy with your boyfriend." cooed Dawn. Misty blushed furiously, "Ash is not my boyfriend!" she exclaimed hotly. "Suuure" we all said. Then Misty grumbled,"While I was talking to Ash I figured out that he and a few other boys were moving into the dorm that is connected to ours." We just stared. "Something about a Bug-type problem." We still stayed silent. "Hey, they should be in there right now! Let's go see our new neighbors/roommates-ish!" said the always peppy Dawn. She was always excited to meet new people, especially boys. "Ok!" I said rather shyly. "Sure." said May. "Whatever." said Misty, still on the Ash thing.

When we walked over there we saw Ash and his Pikachu getting some food from the fridge. Misty walked over to them and mumbled,"Can I have some too?" blushing slightly. "Sure!" said the very dense Ash. Pikachu just shook his head.

Then I saw Drew and this other boy talking to each other. Drew took notice of me but then looked at May and said,"Hey June, you know what day it is?" May looked extremely annoyed and walked over to him-with Dawn and I behind her-and gritted out,"It's MAY and tod-" "Oh wait, I forgot how dumb you were. My bad." He interrupted, flipping his hair. "Why you little son of a-" she tackled him, but alas he dodged. "Tsk,tsk, July." said Drew. "IT'S MAY YOU IDIOT!" she yelled chasing him and attacking him while he kept dodging.

"Anyway," said Dawn, " Hi, I'm Dawn! Nice to meetcha!" she said, full of her natural pep. "Why are you so loud?" asked the boy. Dawn pouted, "No, I'm not, mophead!" "It's Paul, loudmouth." he said. "Whatever!" she huffed. I rolled my eyes, she's such a diva.

"Hey Paul, you know where my socks are?" I stiffened at the sound of that voice. "Damn it." I muttered. It was Gary. I turned away from the direction he was coming from and took in a deep breath. I would keep it all in and pretend like I didn't even know him. I would be cool and collected and my mind would be clear. I will be strong, even if it killed me. I took in another deep breath and I knew, I was ready. I turned around, faced him, and smiled.
