Dawn woke up to her alarm going off at 6:15 A.M. School didn't start till 7:10 so she had plenty of time to get things ready for the day. She got out of bed and played music onto her Bluetooth speakers. The song Love Myself by Hailee Steinfeld.
Dawn moaned not wanting to get up. Not wanting to go anywhere. It wasn't her feeling lazy it was just her denying what the day would be like.
Eventually she got up. Dawn changed into her school uniform. A red plad skirt with a white long sleeved shirt. there was a red plad tie that had to be tied onto the white shirt. On the right side of the white shirt there was a patch with the schools logo and mascot a Legendary Moltres bird-theres only one bird left if it dies then the specie would be officially extinct.
Grabbing her knee length short heeled black boots Dawn made her way to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. Once that was done she zipped up her boots and made her way to her vanity back in her room.
Before she started doing her hair she walked over to Pip's cage and let the bird fly around for a while, while she did her makeup and hairstyle. Dawn sat down at her vanity as she first did her simple makeup mascara. Pip flew over by Dawn while she was trying to figure out what to do with her hair. She wanted something simple yet something pretty.
In the end she straightened her hair out to make it smoother and put it into a high ponytail making her hair look short. She put in 2 of her golden clips on both sides of her head to hold her long yet short bangs out of her face while the shorter bangs stayed right where they were, above her eyebrows flat yet puffy pretty.
Looking at the time Dawn saw it was already 6:40.
"Gosh that was quick" Dawn mumbled as she got up from her vanity and went over to her bed to quickly do her bed. She then got Pip back into his cage, closed the bird cage, grabbed her backpack, and went down to the kitchen while disconnecting her phone from the bluetooth speaker in her room.
"Morning sweetie, i got you alittle breakfast so you don't waste time" Dawn heard her mom say from the kitchen
"What are you doing at this time mom?" Dawn asked
"Getting breakfast out for the both of us,i have to be at my new job to interview some people who want to work at the boutique in 20 minutes" Dawns mom said grabbing a cup from the cupboard and served herself some tea from the stove top
"This early?" Dawn asked
"Yea, but i really don't mind its like i say the early bird gets the worm" Dawns mom teased
"OMG sweetie you look so pretty!" Dawns mom said as she finally turned her attention to Dawn
"Thanks mom" Dawn somewhat smiled
"Oh sweetie your gonna be late if i keep you here, heres this as your breakfast" Dawns mom said handing Dawn some toast on a napkin
"Thanks mom, i'll see you after school wish me luck" Dawn said as she quickly took her breakfast and hurried her way out the door.
Dawn finally made it to the school building on time. She had plenty of time left before the bell rang so she could try and find some of her classes in the mean time. Shyly she wandered around looking at her schedule and looking at the school map locating her classrooms.
"Hey there Girl from yesterday" Dawn heard someone say from behind her. She turned around to see it was the kid she ran into yesterday in the counciling office.
"um hi" Dawn said simply as she walked off looking where to find a class on her schedule
"Its Kenny, you forgot my name didn't you?" He asked
"no" Dawn said in a low voice
"So whats your name Girl" Kenny asked in a teasing voice
"Why would you care?" Dawn asked
"Cause you need a friend and well friends all start off knowing eachothers names" Kenny answered sincerely
"I don't need friends, i've had a bad past with them" Dawn responded
"well i'll let you in on this, i'm not a bad person so you can trust me" Kenny told her kindly
"trust is something you don't hand over so easily" Dawn answered as she finally found a few of her classes
"well then, if you can't trust me then atleast let me help you find your classes" Kenny said kindly with a smile on his face as he reached to grab Dawns schedule she held in her hand. She handed him the schedule as she patted out her skirt
"oh cool guess you'll be seeing me alot more often, This way" Kenny snickered as he gave Dawn a funny face
"what do you mean, where are you taking me" Dawn asked as she followed Kenny passing all the other students in the hallways.
"I said i'd show you to your next class did i, its this way" He teased
Dawn glared at his back as she continued to follow him.
Before the bell rang he had showed her where all her classes were, making it easy for Dawn to follow her schedule.
Dawn got to her first class, Fashion Strategies. She sat down at a seat in the front corner of the class. Pulling out her schedule she took a look to make sure where her next class was.
Her schedule...
1st period: Fashion Strategies
2nd period: Foods Class
3rd Period: Math
4th Period: P.E.
5th Period: Health
6th Period: Biology
7th Period:Language Arts
8th Period: Arts
The tardy bell rang as more people rushed their way to their seats in class.
"Excuse me but you're in my seat" Dawn heard someone say. She turned over to see a girl with long brown hair with a pink bow was standing next to her.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know I'm kinda new here" Dawn said grabbing her backpack from the floor
"No sweat, I'm -"
"Serena why aren't you in your seat?" The teacher asked as she made her way to the front of the class
"I'm sorry, the new student sat in my spot not knowing" Serena said
"new student?" The teacher asked curiously
"Yea that's me, sorry about that I'll just move to the back" Dawn said getting up from the seat.
"New girl you can sit by me!" Dawn heard someone say. she turned over to see Kenny.
"Kenny go to class this isn't your class just yet" the teacher said
"I know i just wanted to make sure the new girl found her class. anywho see you later" Kenny said with a smile as he walked out the door and closed it
"May does anyone sit next to you?" The teacher asked
"No Ma'am" May answered
"Very well, you may sit there then" The teacher told Dawn pointing to a seat in the middle row.
Once Dawn sat there the teacher asked "So tell us what's your name?"
"Dawn Johnston from Twinleaf town" Dawn answered setting her backpack down on the ground
"Welcome to class Dawn, you made a long travel to Sinoh the question is, was it worth it?" the teacher asked
"I won't know until I figure that part out" Dawn answered. the teacher smiled as she then turned around to explain the assignment of the day.
25 minutes later
The bell was about to ring. Dawn was setting her designer notebook into her cubby she was assigned for Fashion Strategies.
"Dawn right?" Dawn heard someone ask
"Yea?" Dawn said putting on her backpack
"I'm May, i may have saw some of your designs on accident and i just wanted to say you got taste in fashion designs" May said with a smile
"um thanks" Dawn said unsure of how to respond.
"So your from Twinleaf? I've heard of that place whats it like?" May asked putting on her backpack
"Ok i guess" Dawn answered
"So why move a far way here?" May asked curiously
"In need of a new start" Dawn answered shrugging her shoulders
"What do you mean new st-"
"Enough questions" Dawn said cutting off May.
RINNNNNG
The bell rang and Dawn had made her way out of the class over to her next class.
Arriving to her next class she noticed someone give her a face. Dawn rolled her eyes noticing it was Kenny.
RINNNNG
The usual question answer gig went on in Foods Class between Dawn and the teacher there. She got her assigned seat by a guy named Cilan. The teacher explained to Dawn what they would normally do but it was simply something easy. Cook whatever and whoever would make top 3 would get extra credit. Some foods would get critiqued on and sometimes even get recommendations to compete in competitions for scholarships or simply trophies/medals/certifications.
Cilan was a determined guy so he didn't let distractions get in the way of his cooking. Meaning he wouldn't try to barge into Dawns unlocked life story.
Dawn spent the remaining free time doing search on a computer in class figuring out what she should cook for her first lab day for next class day.
RINNNNG
Dawn wrapped up her work. Printed out a recipe of cupcakes, placed that recipe safely into a empty folder. and before she knew it she was out the class door looking for the lunchroom. She was very confused with how the school system worked. Apparently they split the schedule into 2 day systems since there were 8 classes. meaning one day she'd go to 4 classes then the next day she'd do the other 4 classes. Simple to understand, confusing to remember so Dawn split it into labeling day 1 as A Day and day 2 as B Day.
Grabbing her lunch Dawn made her way outside where it was not noisy nor was it crowded. She actually enjoyed eating outside rather than inside. She sat at an empty table under an apple tree. It was spring time so there were lots of apple blossoms on the tree. Some were falling off since they were loose others held onto the tree branches strongly.
As Dawn sat there eating her PB&J sandwich a small white with blue squirrel had climbed down the tree.
"HEY! that's mine!" Dawn claimed as she noticed the squirrel had run off with her bag of almonds.
Dawn put her sandwich back into its wrap and placed it down as she quickly chased after the squirrel
To Dawns surprise she ended up nearly crashing into someone in front of her.
"Hi there Dawn" Dawn heard she looked up to see it was Serena and May
"Oh hi" Dawn said straightening herself up then dusted her skirt off.
"What are you doing eating alone?" May asked pointing to the table where Dawn left her backpack
"I like eating alone" Dawn said looking around for the squirrel
"Well you see that's going to change cause for now on we will sit with you" May said with a smile
"Uh Dawn what are you looking for?" Serena asked
"Nothing, just a squirrel who stole my snack" Dawn answered in an embarrased tone
"Patches" Serena mumbled
"What?" Dawn asked confused
"Patches is a squirrel who wonders around the school trees, he really likes to mess with people but don't worry he's a kind Patchuriso squirrel" May answered
"You know this how?" Dawn asked
"He stole my hat one time but he gave it back" Serena said
"And you trust this squirrel?" Dawn asked
"Well yea, He didn't chew up my hat or anything like that he gave it back just fine" Serena said
"weird" Dawn mummbled
"Hey lets go sit down" May suggested pointing to the table Dawns stuff was at
"You won't mind right?" Serena asked
"No" Dawn responded as she followed the girls to the table
"Maybe i shouldn't keep my trust walls so high, these people seem to be really kind alot of people actually do" Dawn thought in her mind with a small smile appearing on her face
"Look she's smiling! So your agreeing to what we just asked you" May said smiling
"AHH what am i agreeing to?" Dawn asked
"That the student council president is a good looking boy" May teased
"NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! He's soooo annoyingggg" Dawn burst out
"Oh come on, you hardly know the guy" May teased with a giggle
"Hardly know him but can clearly tell he's wound up to be in a circus clown school" Dawn said laughing
"Well tell you what, if you get to know the guy just alittle bit Serena here will ask her crush out" May snickered
Serena spit out her sprite
"WHAT ARE YOU INSANE I'M NOT DOING SUCH THING!" Serena freaked
"OH yess you are cause Dawns brave enough to meet new people" May smiled
"Ok first off i have trust issues, second off i deserve to have a choice" Dawn said
"Oh don't worry you get to think about it but what do you mean you have trust issues you trust us right?" May asked
"Well at first no but now its a yes cause i got to know your inner self" Dawn answered
"See if you can meet inner self of others then you can trust them but thats only if you try come on Dawn make friends" May said as she bit her ham sandwich
"I'll try but i'm not making promises that it'll work, Now Serena who do you like?" Dawn said with a small smile
"You don't know him since your new but his name is Ash Kechum he's in my math, I'm always having to tutor him" Serena said blushing
"You mean study dates" May snickered
"MAYYY!" Serena whined
"The bells about to ring we should get going" Dawn said with a smile
"Ok, lets go" May said as she threw away her plastic tray
"Hey look who it is" Serena said as she threw away her plastic tray but noticed something running up to the girls
"Patches" Dawn laughed as the squirrel jumped onto her backpack and dropped the bag of almonds.
"Like i said in perfect shape the bag is perfectly fine" Serena laughed
the girls laughed as they grabbed their bags and made their way back inside the school.
The rest of the day was somewhat ok to Dawn. She lowered her trust wall and actually made friends. Serena and May were 2 of them so far. In her last 2 A day classes she had a surprise that was close enough to giving her a heart attack.
Kenny was in both her Math and P.E. classes...
MATH
"Welcome new girl" the teacher welcomed Dawn with a smile. Dawn smiled as she looked around for a spot to sit at.
"You may sit over by Kenny" The teacher said as he made his way to his desk to hand out assignments of the day
"Waaiit, is it just me or did you say what i think you said..." Dawn asked shocked
"HEY NEW GIRL!" A boy yelled out, that boy was Kenny.
"Kenny she has a name, you can't just go around yelling new girl" The teacher said handing the papers around while Dawn sadly made her way to the seat next to Kenny
"I'd use it, but she hasn't said what her name is at all" Kenny said
"Well then in that case would you like to tell us all your name and where your from, while i hand these graded papers out?" The teacher asked
"My name is Dawn Johnson and I'm from Twinleaf Town" Dawn said standing up from her seat
"Twinleaf?" Kenny echoed
"Yep thats where i'm from so what you gonna make fun of me then?" Dawn said scared alittle bit
"Why would I? That's where i'm from too" Kenny said
"Youre from twinleaf? Psh yea right if you did then i would've known you twinleaf is so small everyone knows everyone there" Dawn claimed
"i really am from Twinleaf" Kenny claimed
"So then Dawn why did you come to the Sinoh Region?" The teacher asked handing a paper to a girl with a blue bob haircut
"mom got a better job over here" Dawn said shyly with a frown
"Wait a second your last name its Johnson right?" The teacher asked
"Yes why?" Dawn asked
"Is your mother a famous fashion designer who just opened a new boutique not far from here, named Johanna Johnson by any chance?" The teacher asked handing a boy with green hair his paper
"Yep thats my mom" Dawn answered nervously
Just as Dawn responded 3 girls and 3 boys got up from their seats and crowded Dawns desk asking for autographs and discounts
"Class settle down!" The teacher yelled trying to get the 6 students to go to their seats
No one sat down
"AHHH" Dawn began to hyperventilate in her seat. Being crowded like that made her feel like she was gonna get beat up again. Thanks to her childhood events she would panick and hyperventilate.
"SETTLE DOWN!" The teacher yelled.
still none of the 6 sat down
"NO WAY SO CAN YOU LIKE GIVE ME A DISCOUNT?" one of the girls asked
"COULD YOU GET YOUR MOM TO SIGN THIS!?" one of the boys asked
"I'M SO JEALOUS COULD I HAVE YOUR MOM?" another girl asked
"SO ARE YOU JUST AS TALENTED AS YOUR MOM?" another boy asked
"OMG NO FAIR GET YOUR MOM TO SIGN THIS AND I'LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND" the 3rd girl asked
"GET YOUR MOM TO DESIGN HOT BIKINIS PLEASE!" the 3rd boy asked pervertedly
"AHHH" Dawn screeched in her seat curling up into a ball in her seat holding her head and holding the tears in her eyes
"THATS ENOUGH! AS STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT I'LL TAKE YOUR FOOTBALL PASSES AWAY UNTIL THE END OF THE YR" Kenny said defending Dawn from the 6 students
"Hah real funny, I'm on the cheer squad you can't take my football passes away" One of the girls said
"But one bad grade can" Kenny said glaring at her
"You wouldn't dare to" the girl said
"watch me" Kenny said. He looked over at the math teacher who was writing down notes for the 6 students.
"To the principles office now" The teacher said handing the 6 of them the notes. the 6 of them walked out the class, the cheerleader couldn't help but glare at Kenny for threatening her with a bad grade.
"UH whatever not worth my time" She finally said as she walked out with the note
"Dawn are you ok?" the teacher asked as he saw Dawn curled up in a ball in her seat
"I got her sir, you teach class i'll take her out for some air" Kenny said getting up from his seat
"Sorry about that Dawn that was all my fault" the teacher said handing Dawn a tissue to wipe away her tears
"I've been through worse" Dawn mummbled taking the tissue as she then got up from her seat and out of class with Kenny
"Dawn stop refusing to breath" Kenny said
"so much for the first day of math class" Dawn said worriedly
"ehh forget about that, i bet you'll make a better impression in P.E." Kenny said
"how do you know what my next class is?" Dawn asked
"I helped you this morning, I saw your schedule, I have a photographic memory somewhat, Oh and i did warn you that you'd be seeing me more often in school" Kenny listed
"wait don't tell me there's more" Dawn said wide eyed
"there's more, now focus on your breathing" Kenny said
"why did you do that earlier?" Dawn asked breathing normally
"Do what?" Kenny asked
"threaten them with football passes?" Dawn said
"well you see to get into a football game you have to use a pass unless your a football player or cheerleader or band member" Kenny said
"No not like that i mean why get them to stop?" Dawn clarified
"OH well you see when i was little i saw this girl get beat up and i hated it, i wanted to defend her but i couldn't cause well i was afraid i'd hurt myself but now i don't care if i get hurt i just want people to feel like they belong thats also why i chose to be in student council to make a change in the school" Kenny claimed
"-" Dawn was about to speak but was stopped when she heard Kenny chuckle
"You know whats weird, new girl reminds me of the girl in my childhood" Kenny claimed as he looked up into the tree above them
"can we go back into the school I'm starting to feel better and besides the bells gonna ring soon" Dawn claimed getting up from the bench they were sitting on
"sure thing" Kenny said getting up from the bench and helped Dawn get up. He noticed her feet were shaking so to make sure she wouldn't fall he stood not so far from her.
P.E.
As Kenny and Dawn arrived to their next class they noticed they weren't different much from eachother.
"Alright everyone today i want you all to just run the track that's all i have planned for today now goo!" Coach said as he blew his whistle.
"Where did you get that from?" Kenny asked noticing Dawns P.E clothes
"The lady in charge of the girls lockerroom handed me this outfit she told me it was a spare she had incase anyone of the girls needed a change or forgot their PE and well since i'm new she just gave it to me" Dawn shrugged her shoulders
"anywho what's your future dream job?" Kenny asked
"mmm maybe the same thing as my mom a fashion designer" Dawn answered "What about you?" She asked
"I'm not copying you but a fashion designer as well" Kenny answered
"but youre a guy?" Dawn asked jogging the track
"you trying to say guys cant have a sence of style? wow Dawn Sexist much" Kenny said
"No i don't wanna sound rude like that, it's just i never met a guy who wanted to do the same" Dawn clarified
"well you just did and let me say i won't steal ideas from no one" He smiled
"you better not cause thats stealing credit" Dawn said
"don't worry i won't, now tell me favorite color?" He asked
"Torquise or teal, you?" Dawn said
"Orange or green, Have any pets?" He asked
"A small Piplup, his names Pip" Dawn answered "What about you?"
"A medium Empoleon, her names Empo i also own a Breloom lizard named Loom" Kenny answered
"our birds are part of the same bird family" Dawn smiled
"Empo constantly tries to catch Loom, I'm afraid she'd try to eat him once" Kenny said worriedly
"That's the same relationship Pip and Glamsey have" Dawn laughed
"Who's Glamsey?" He asked
"My moms Glameow cat" Dawn responded slowing her job down a bit
"So what do you do to stop them from that kind of relationship?" Kenny asked
"Well my mom drops off Glamsey at a pet shelter across the street from here and we leave Pip safely home in his bird cage" Dawn answered
"I do the same with Loom although sometimes he just hides in my pocket for the whole day at school" Kenny laughed
"You carry Loom around with you?" Dawn asked
"Only when I don't wanna take a tank to the pet shelter, although sometimes I'll take him in my pocket and just drop him off at the pet shelter" Kenny responded
"Is he at the pet shelter right now?" Dawn asked
"Yea gonna pick him up after school" He answered
for a while it was quiet between the 2 of them on their jog.
"Hey would you like to come over after school?" Dawn asked
"Wheres this coming from all the sudden? One minute i'm the annoying kid you hate and now i'm a friend your asking over to your place" Kenny teased
"Just answer the question wanna come or not?" Dawn asked again with a giggle
"I'd love to, any special reason?" He asked smiling
"I need help with math the last 5 minutes of class were very confusing i mean is it even english?" Dawn asked
"Yes it is english, i'll meet you outside the school after class" Kenny teased with a smile
"thanks Kenny" Dawn said
"HEY you know my name" Kenny laughed
"Of course i do, your so childish how'd you become pres of student council" Dawn teased
"many people voted for me thats how" Kenny responded
"Race you to the end!" Dawn said randomly as she began to speed up
"Your on!" Kenny responded as he chases after her
As the last few minutes came by of class everyone on the track made their way back to the school to the lockerrooms. Dawn still racing Kenny.
There was a moment where Dawn tripped on the tracks downhill, she landed on the tracks rockiest road.
"Dawn you ok?" Kenny asked seeing Dawn had fallen
"Yea just a scratch I'll be ok, come on lets go" Dawn said getting up slowly only to fall back down onto the floor from the pain. Kenny went over to her side and helped her up. He stayed by her side the whole way to the school cause he noticed Dawn was limping. He noticed her yoga pants had a big red stain on the knees.
"wait sit down" Kenny said
"I got no time for this, come on Kenny the bells gonna ring soon and we're still in our PE clothes" Dawn said trying to get back up only to see Kenny with wide eyes
"Please just sit down" He begged her
"Fine" Dawn said with a puff of air as she sat down on the stairs to the school. Kenny kneeled down to see what was going on under her yoga pants. He rolled the yoga pants up a bit to where her full knees were uncovered. Her knees were all scratched up with cuts all over and the red stains were soaked with blood.
there was a water fountain close by. Kenny teared his t-shirt into 2 strips got them wet and carefully dabbed the injury on both knees.
"Ouch" Dawn winced
Once the injury was cleaned up he ripped his t-shirt again into 2 larger strips and wrapped them around her knees.
"Well no need to wear this now that it's ripped up" Kenny said as he took his shirt off "Now lets get you back up" Kenny said as he helped Dawn get up
the rest of the walk into the school was somewhat odd. No one else saw it since there was no one in the halls.
"ok you sure you'll be ok to go the rest of the way?" Kenny asked
"Yes, I'll meet you outside the school" Dawn said
"Ok then, just a tip don't rush while your changing i won't leave, besides it could hurt alot more if you move to fast" Kenny said
"Ok kenny, i'll see you in a while" Dawn said rolling her eyes teasingly.
with that said they split up into the hallways that led to different gender lockerrooms. Dawn limped but made it to the lockerroom where she was able to change back into her school clothes.
"What happened to you?" A girl asked
"Bet the new girl can't handle a little running" Another girl said
"leave me alone won't you" Dawn said opening up her locker
"wait a minute whats on her knees thats no wrap thats a teared up t-shirt?!" a girl said
"The question is, who's shirt was it?!" the other girl said
"whatever" Dawn mummbled as she slowly started to change.
RIIINGG
"Later clumbsy" one of the girls said as she walked out
"Who ever teared up their shirt wasted it on you" The other girl said walking out
Dawn was finishing up by fixing her skirt when the 2 girls said those mean things to her.
Most of Dawns tears were at the berge of falling but like always she tried to hold them in.
She rewrapped Kenny's ripped strips on her leg since they were alittle loose. she didn't care if she looked ridiculous.
She closed up her PE Locker placed the blood soaked yoga pants into a baggie and carried it out with her as she made her way to find Kenny.
