'Well... that was a bust...' Drew sighed as he flopped onto Gary's bed. After registration they had decided to skip the rest of their classes, they had gone back to Gary and Ash's dorm in relative silence. They were all strangely shaken after the travesty that was first period. Ash was in an obvious dark mood, Paul was more aggressive than usual, Gary was pale, his eyes wide and unfocused and Drew was trying (and failing) to forget those sapphire eyes. He had no idea what was wrong with him, the feeling was something he had never experienced before. He tried to focus on pitying Ash. When he had stood up to tell the class his name he had stared at Misty, obviously waiting her to recognise him but she had only stared blankly.

'Gary?' Ash's voice caused everyone else in the room to jump. Ash looked up, almost back to his normals self. Maybe he wasn't THAT torn up 'How did you know that girl?'

Gary gulped and looked down at his hands 'She went to one of my old school. I never even spoke to her before just saw her around.' Paul gave him a frown.

'Dude you almost had a freaking heart attack when you saw her, tell us the truth.'

'I said that was all!' Gary growled 'And what about you huh? Did you have to wind up the blue head huh? You didn't have to be such an asshole!'

Paul stood up and loomed over Gary dangerously. 'You really wanna have a go at me? Its not like I said anything to her, she freaked out for no reason!' He lowered his voice to a whisper 'Troublesome girl...' Drew stood up and put himself in between his two friends, much to Gary's relief.

'Look it doesn't matter okay? Gary's an ass so maybe she just recognised him because of a prank he pulled. And Paul, she was annoying but you didn't have to be so damned obvious about how annoyed you were. Now back down the both of you. We're all just pissed cause we have to be here.' Paul glared for a few moments longer before sighing and sitting back next to Ash. They all fell back into an uncomfortable silence. Finally Drew spoke up.

'Hey, what about the blonde one? Is she dating a teacher? Why is that allowed?' he asked with obvious disgust.

Gary nodded. 'Yeah, Steven Stone he's the son of the headteacher so I'm assuming they just let it slide. He's only like 22, I think we have him for chemistry.'

Ash made a face 'That's not right though its against the law they shouldn't get a special privilege just cause he's the principals son. This school is messed up.' Paul ran his hand over his hand over his face and fell back onto the bed with a thump.

'Arceus I hate this damned place.' He groaned. The collective sigh that filled the room was the only sound before the descended into self pity.


Misty opened the door to her and Leafs dorm to Dawn and May talking excitedly on the black couch they had while Leaf was lying on her bed, staring at her phone with a bored expression. 'Hey guys' Misty greeted, flopping down on her orange sheets. 'What's the goss?' she asked sarcastically.

Dawn giggled 'May was just gushing about that Drew guy' May gave a squawk of indignation and hit Dawn softly.

Misty chuckled and shook her head 'May, how dare you, you're a taken woman!' May stuck out her tongue and shook her head.

'I don't know about that-'

'YOU AND BRENDAN BROKE UP!' Her friends screamed in horror.

'No, no!' May shook her head so fast she almost got whiplash 'No its just...'

'Just what?' Leaf was up and paying attention now.

'Just... we don't really talk that much anymore and when we do its all about him. HE loves college, HE'S having a great time, HE met some awesome people. He didn't even listen when I was telling him about us showing up halfway through Steven and Eves holiday. He usually loves hearing about us messing with Steven!' May was almost in tears. Dawn grabbed her into a hug and calmed her down.

'May sweetie I'm sure its just the excitement of college getting him like this. Brendan loves you more than anything.' May nodded and plastered a large smile on.

'Yeah, yeah I know. Hey speaking of Eve where is she?' Misty and Leaf looked at each other, barely holding back laughter.

'Steven practically dragged her back to his room with him.' Leaf snorted 'He was very... eager..' They all burst into laughter.

'Oh the perks of having a teacher boyfriend. He has his own apartment just off campus right? Did Eve tell us where we could go.. visit' Dawn said with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

Misty shook her head 'Nah, probably didn't want us barging in on them. Thank Arceus we put her on the pill.' Laughter rang through the room again until the door opened with a bang and Eve came running in, squealing at an almost impossible pitch. She flung herself onto Misty's bed.

'GUESS WHAT?! GUESS GUESS!' She screamed happily. Her best friends all held their hands over their ears.

'What, what?' May snapped, annoyed. Eve did not answer verbally only grinning widely and holding up her left hand.

'HOLY CRAP!' Dawn screamed and pounced on her, hugging her hard, while the rest of the girls sat in shock. 'HE PROPOSED HOLY SHIT!'

Eve giggled and looked at the slim silver band on her ring finger 'Actually its a promise ring. He said he was going to give it to me our last night in Italy but some people...' She gave them a stern look. Her friends threw her sheepish grins.

'Well at least you got it right?' Eve broke her stern look and smiled serenely.

'Yeah... I'm so happy' She sighed and the girls crowded round to get a closer look at the ring.
