Paul felt a soft warm hand touch his back. He looked up to see the friendly face of Dawn. He simply smiled at her and went and sulked back into his arms.
"Paul look I know you're upset, but you should hangout with your friends trust me it will help you out a lot." said Dawn in a kind manner
"That's the thing though my friends Ash, Gary and Trip all hardly know me. Dawn you know me better than they do." said Paul
"Ok then come on at lunch let's hangout just the two of us we can do whatever you want." said Dawn
"Alright then." said Paul as he started to blush
Dawn was walking down the hall when Serena and Miette came up to her. She looked at her friends who seemed to be really excited for something.
"Hey what's going with you two?" asked Dawn
"Oh I'm holding a party for my Kalos friends and you're invited." said Miette
"Oh yeah sure I'd love to come to your party." said Dawn
"Ok here's the address for my place you can't miss it. It's the big white house with the large driveway." said Miette
"Ok I'll meet you there oh by the way can I bring a friend?" asked Dawn
"Yeah sure who do you plan on bringing along?" asked Miette
"Uh... Paul..." said Dawn
"Yeah sure!" said Serena and Miette at the same time.
Miette and Serena both noticed a new accessory on Dawn since this was the first time she had worn it to school. The accessory was a silver chain necklace with a tiny diamond as it's centerpiece.
"Dawn is that a new necklace?" asked Serena
"Yeah it is" said Dawn
"Wow it looks really good on you who got it for you?" asked Miette
"Uh... Paul did..." said Dawn as she blushed
Serena and Miette both looked at each. They were so close with each other they could basically read each other's minds. They knew right there and then what Dawn was thinking about.
"Dawn do you like Paul?" asked Serena
"Yeah do you?" asked Miette
"What! Are you serious no! no! no! Ha ha ha ha pffffftttt I'm not dating I mean... I don't like him what are you talking about!" yelled Dawn who was blushing like mad.
"Oh so you do like him" said Serena
"No I don't!" yelled Dawn
"We can see your blushing and you're also yelling clear signs that you like him." said Miette
"NO! I don't like Pau-" said Dawn who was interrupted by
"Hey so are we going now I'm hungry" said Paul
"Oh yeah of course I was going to meet up with you" said Dawn
"Ok let's go then." said Paul
"ok" said Dawn
Miette and Serena just looked at each other and started to laugh. They both knew plus it was extremely obvious that Dawn had a crush on Paul. Both Paul and Dawn were walking down the hall deciding what they were going to eat for lunch. Paul was really nervous to calm his nerves he moved a little closer to Dawn to close the gap between them.
"So what should we get Paul?" asked Dawn
"I was thinking of getting a salad." said Paul
"Huh a salad I thought you hated those." said Dawn who was very shocked
"Well you ate a ramen bowl with me. So I think I'll share a salad with you preferable the sweet kind." said Paul
"Uh... ok... sure..." said Dawn who was so confused
At the lunch table
The entire gang were sitting together. Ash, Gary and Misty were enjoying their bowls of rice. May and Drew were still going on with the fake couple thing. Iris was eating some fresh berries from her bush at home. Trip was eating extremely unhealthy food like always. Serena and Miette shared some bread cheese and apples. Paul and Dawn walked over to the table where they opened up a salad meal.
"Huh wait Paul are you eating a salad!" said Ash, Gary and Trip at the same time
"Yeah I like variety in my meal sometimes alright." said Paul as he took another bite of his salad.
Serena and Miette looked to both Paul and Dawn who were sharing the salad. They looked over to Paul who was slightly blushing every time he stopped to look at Dawn.
"Aw you two are so cute together why don't you guys kiss right now!" yelled Miette
Paul and Dawn instantly stopped eating and looked at each other. Dawn saw a face of coldness with hidden warmth that could be brought out. Paul saw a face of kindness and understanding but hidden within that was a face of insecurities. They both blushed at the same time looking down at their laps. Until Paul spoke up.
"humph look Miette you shouldn't make unnecessary comments like that ok." said Paul who was sticking up for Dawn.
"Chill ok it was just a joke." said Miette
"Humph fine just don't do it again ok" said Paul coldly
Serena looked over at Paul then looked over to Dawn who was blushing even more when Paul stood up for her. She then looked at Paul who was also blushing when he stood up for her. Serena knew and decided to tell Miette.
"Miette I think Paul also likes Dawn." whispered Serena
"I know I can tell it's really adorable they're basically polar opposites." said Miette
"I know... Paul is really cold and harsh while Dawn is cheerful and understanding." said Serena
"I want to see how this is going to play out..." said Miette
"me too..." said Serena
Paul and Dawn were out in the hallway at Paul's locker. Ursula came up to the both of them and decided to make fun of Dawn.
"Oh hey look it's the dumb girl who goes after every guy she sees." taunted Ursula
"Ursula please just leave me alone..." said Dawn as she looked down
"Wow look at you! You're probably the ugliest girl in the school just trying to make herself look pretty. I mean you put on way too much makeup and jewelry. Your living off of a vegetarian diet. I bet your just dumb ugly lonely girl just trying to make herself look good. But really you're just a girl who is covering up her shitty looks with a cheap exterior!" yelled Ursula who kept mocking Dawn
"Thats enough Ursula!" said Paul coldly
"You're really the one who is covering up her real self with a cheap exterior. Tell me why do you make fun of everyone in the school huh? Why do you pick on everyone's flaws when you have so many of them huh? Why would you pick on Dawn if you hardly even know anything about her. Your constant bullying is making me sick!" yelled Paul as he punched a locker making a massive indent.
"Paul calm down it's fine..." said Dawn nervously as she held his shoulder
"grrrr... Ursula you're lucky that you're not getting hurt today." said Paul coldly
Dawn and Paul walked away. Ursula just stood there shocked on how angry Paul got. She has never seen him that angry before. When she dated him he was always a smart cool calm guy. This Paul was a whole different story he was a storm filled with rage. Dawn and Paul were at Dawn's locker.
"Paul calm down I'm fine you don't have to worry about me." said Dawn who has small tears in her eyes.
"I... I... don't know what came over me when I heard her making fun of you and I just lost it." said Paul
"It's fine. I'm just glad to your back to your usual self." said Dawn
"Did the insults hurt you?" asked Paul
"Let's not stick on that subject... I was wondering if you would like to go to a party with me?" asked Dawn
"Well if you're going then you can count me in." said Paul
"Ok so the party is after school at Miette's house." said Dawn
"Alright." said Paul May and Drew were sitting together after lunch they decided to skip class so they could talk to each other. They were outside at a picnic table talking about their fake relationship and how they wanted to approach it. While they were in their fake relationship they had learned so much about each other almost to the point where they were best friends.
"So May we've been at this fake relationship for awhile now how should we continue?" asked Drew
"Oh well I don't know." said May
"How about we stage a break up?" asked Drew
"Huh you want to end it." said May
"I found a girl that I've fallen in love with and I can't have a relationship with her if I'm in a fake one." said Drew
"Oh ok... I understand..." said May in a sad tone.
"Ok so we should probably stage this break up in the hallway in between classes and can we do it tomorrow?" asked Drew
"alright so just a little longer then." said May
"Yup just a little longer then we can stop this nonsense of a fake relationship." said Drew
At the apartment
"So Calem are you excited to join up with your ex-girlfriend again?" asked Shauna
"Yeah I can't wait I wonder what Miette has been up to since I was gone." said Calem
"Yeah you two were so close always going out on dates kissing each other when everyone was around. In public you used to-" said Shauna
"Thats enough I'm her ex-boyfriend remember so I think I know what I did with her." said Calem
"Your such a playboy you know that right." said Shauna
"To be honest I regret nothing that I cheated on her with Serena" said Calem
"That's why you'll never end up with anyone. Remember I was the one who kept it a secret for you" said Shauna
"I don't plan to end up with anyone. The only reason I like to be in a relationship is to break a heart." said Calem as he walked out the door. "Miette get ready to have a broken heart." he thought.
