Hey guys! I apologise that it's been a few days since I last posted a chapter. The main reason why is because I've been busy. There is literally no point in telling you what I was doing because it will take too long. Anyway, let's get straight into this chapter!

Recap of the end of the last chapter!

People cheered for Ash. Even all of the teachers that saw the fight. The ones that Ash knew. The ones that Ash didn't know. And all of the students that saw the fight.

Ash ignored the people. Even the group of his new friends running towards him. Ash just turned and walked towards the girl on the floor. Ash noticed that she still had tear marks on her face. And even a few tears still there. Ash wiped them away for her and forced the girl to look at him. She had short honey blonde hair. She wore a red hat. She wore a blue ribbon on her chest. Ash thought that he saw her before. He then remembered the person who was outside of his english class door. He could swear that she was that person.

"Hey, I'm Ash. Who are you? Are you alright?" Ash asked the girl

"Yes, I'm fine thank you Ash. I'm Serena"

Present

Ash helped the girl to her feet. Taking another look at her appearance and trying to remember the person who was outside of his english class' door. Ash realised that this girl was the same person who was outside of his english class' door

"Umm, Serena" Ash started which gained her attention

"Yeah… What is it?" Serena asked him with curiosity evident in her voice

"I think I saw you before" Ash told her which surprised her a lot "I'm pretty sure that you were outside of my english class. I had english first lesson and I swear that I saw you outside of the door"

"Oh yeah! I saw you in there" Serena exclaimed in realisation which confused Ash and the others who just arrived

"Why were you there then? Don't tell me that you have a class where you need to go and look through classroom doors!" Ash exclaimed

"No. It's a lot more depressing actually…" Serena murmured "I was late getting here because I woke up late, and I got here and started to head to english, which is in your class, and I got to the door before I was pulled to the floor from behind. It was them" Serena told them, pointing at the three fainted bullies

"So you were the girl that I saw getting kicked in the hallway after class?" Ash asked her to which she nodded slowly

"You saw me getting hit?" Serena asked him in confusion

"Yeah, I just decided to not get involved. I'm sorry" Ash explained to her

"I thought that you cared" Serena said before she turned and walked away

"HEY!" Ash shouted after her "I SAVED YOU DIDN'T I!?"

"Don't bother Ash. She obviously doesn't appreciate your help" Gary told him while placing a hand on his shoulder "It's a shame. She seemed like she'd suit you"

Ash blushed at that remark "Hey!" Ash exclaimed at him in annoyance

Gary chuckled "We'll leave you alone to mourn your loss" He said to Ash before he and the others walked not too far away

"Go after her Ash! You need to explain or she'll probably tell everybody that you're horrible when you're not" Pikachu told him

"Yeah, I guess I should. Thanks Pikachu" Ash said before he ran in the direction that Serena went with Pikachu clinging to his shoulder. The group looked in his direction with an idea about what he was going to try and do

Ash ran with Pikachu clinging to his shoulder. He ran in every direction possible searching for Serena before he finally saw her in the distance. He ran towards her, completely shattered, but still running.

"Serena!" Ash shouted at her

Serena turned around and looked at him. Ash noticed that she was clearly crying. She stopped and slumped down by a wall. Ash ran over to her despite being tired before he sat down next to her and turned to face her

"Serena" Ash started, not being able to find the correct words "I'm sor-"

"It's alright Ash" Serena said, cutting him off "It was my fault for running away. It's not your fault that you decided to not get involved. It's just your brain deciding to try and keep your body safe, that's all"

"No Serena, it's my fault" Ash said sternly "I could've easily beaten them like I did about 10 minutes ago, and I chose to leave you with them. My mind didn't do it subconsciously. I chose to do it"

"Look! Maybe it was both of you that messed up seeing as you didn't choose a good place to hide from me" Drew said as he rushed at Ash again

Ash grabbed Serena and jumped out of the way, before he let go of Serena and faced Drew

"Awww, are you not tired anymore after your little nappy wappy?" Ash taunted, to which Drew replied by throwing a sharp rock at Ash which hit the right side of his bottom lip, cutting it deeply

"Ash!" Serena exclaimed with worry

"Don't worry about me Serena, just go back to where we were before. The others should help you if the other two are awake as well" Ash told her to which she obliged, running passed Drew who tried to catch her before Ash tackled him to the ground

"So, you're helping your girlfriend then?" Drew asked Ash

Ash blushed at that remark. Sure, he thought that Serena looked nice, but he didn't love her or anything. And they certainly weren't boyfriend and girlfriend

"She isn't my girlfriend. She's just a friend" Ash told him before running at Drew and punching him in the nose before Drew retaliated with a flurry of punches to Ash's face and kicks to his shins

After enduring some pretty weak kicks from Drew, Ash decided to end the fight quickly. And he did just that by punching Drew in the bottom of the jaw at the same time that he was about to speak. Making Drew bite his tongue really hard

"Ahhh phluck" Drew spat out, not being able to speak properly with all of the blood in his mouth

"I'm outta here" Ash said to no one in particular before he simply used one hand to push Drew backwards and onto the floor before he ran over to where Serena and the others were

"Ash!" literally everyone shouted as he ran over to them

"Hey guys, what's up?" Ash asked them

"Your awesomeness!" Bonnie exclaimed which made everyone laugh

"ASH KETCHUM!" Came a voice from the end of the field

Everyone shut up and turned to face the person who just shouted for Ash. Everyone was horrified for what was in store for Ash, as they saw the head of the history department of the school, Professor Rowan

Rowan wasn't one of the nicest teachers in the school. He had a very strict rule set, which even Sycamore disagreed with, but Rowan kept using it. He was older than most of the teachers in the school, and he even still used the old school methods, for instance, paddling. Everyone in the school hated him. Even the teachers. The students hated that he always made the work the hardest that he could. For instance, if you were in year 7, the starting year of high school, he would give you year 11 work, the last year of school unless you decided to stay for 6-form. But if you stayed for 6-form, he'd give you work that you'd have to in 3 hours in university to do in 1 hour, and if you didn't finish it, then he'd smack you with a ruler and force you to finish it as homework.

The only reason that Sycamore hadn't fired him was because he was pretty close friends with Rowan's girlfriend, and he was afraid that if he fired Rowan, he'd lose one of his closest friends.

Ash had no bloody idea who this person was, but when he heard most students and teachers gasp, he got the idea that this person wasn't very nice.

"COME HERE NOW!" Rowan shouted to the students, hoping that Ash would emerge

"Ash, don't go out there" Brock whispered to Ash "He'll probably kill you if you do"

"Alrig-" Ash went to say before he was cut of by someone. Someone that he really didn't want to hear at that time

"He's over there sir! With Brock, Misty, Gary, and the others"

It was Trip shouting to Rowan about Ash's location

Rowan started marching towards where Ash was. Ash thought about escaping and blending in with the crowd, but he wouldn't be able to get to a different group of people without being spotted.

Before Ash knew it, Rowan was in front of the group and he started pushing through them with enough force that it knocked a few of Ash's new friends to the ground. Eventually, Rowan reached Ash at the back. Rowan pushed Brock, Gary, and Serena away from him so that it was just Ash and Rowan

I bet you hate me at this point. I've given you a cliffhanger in this chapter, and I gave you one in the last chapter. Well, I expect that the next chapter will be out soon anyway, so you won't have to wait long. Anyway, leave a review with any questions and I'll answer them all, although I won't be able to reply to you if you are signed in as a guest, so I will have to answer any question that you ask as a guest in the next chapter. BYE!
