So I didn't update in two days and I'm disappointed in myself since I promised and I don't like breaking promises. You can be mad at me it's okay if you are just release your angry out on me, and thank you for some of yall understandings it means a lot! Omg I had the most embarrassing day today. So I'm really pale and when I go out in the sun I get burned really easily! So I decided that when I went to the beach I wouldn't apply that much of sunscreen and I got burned like a tomatoes and so did my ears: ( , and I was walking by someone and I knew them and kind of have a crush on.

I said hey to them and they said hi back but did a double take on my face because I was so red and it wasn't even a double take where there like "Hey you look good" it was "Omg what happened to your face"! I wanted to hide under my backpack at flipping school the whole day every time someone looked at me. Any way back to the story! Hopefully I don't disappoint you guys I have a feeling that I will since I haven't written in a long time, so here it is.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon or any characters except Rose and a new one named Zaliah which plays a huge part in this plot

Anyway I have recently watched bleach for the first time in my life and I love Toshiro and Karin together as soon as I saw the episode I was like EEEEKKK. I mean there are so many moments in episode 132 where it's possible he could like her! I just love it!

Lyra's Pov.

Lyra sat in the car with her mom driving. They didn't say anything to each other knowing that if one did somehow it would lead to a conversation about her brother Daniel and that conversation would end up in tears. The silence filled the empty space of the car not causing it to be awkward and tense, but soothing in a way just like her brother. Her brother was never the talkative type. He always enjoyed the silence or just being surrounded by his family and the people he loved. He usually would make sarcastic jokes here and there if the mood in the family got to tense. Lyra looked out the window re calling a memory of how one day their father who abandoned them got brought up at the dinner table. Lyra was angry for some reason at her mother she can't re call why though. She just remembers that she was blaming her for their dad leaving them, and her mother was furious defending herself and telling her that she was an ungrateful brat.

Daniel soon took over the problem and somehow managed to calm down the situation with jokes causing the horrid conversation that was filled with anger and screams to end in laughter and happiness. Lyra could never put her finger on it but her brother was always hidden in the mist of things and sadly in memories. He was always in the background in every picture and memories she had, yet he was the one who held the family together.

Lyra smiled again remembering more memories of her brother helping her with homework and getting aggravated with her, and how his whole presence just seemed to make her smile no matter if she was mad at him or not. She looked at herself in the re view mirror seeing that she also looked at him. That was one thing that killed her. Looking like him. Lyra's smile soon faded replaced with sadness. Looking like Daniel and seeing it each morning in the mirror was like a knife going through her heart. She had the same brown hair like him only his was short and somewhat spiky, and the same gentle yet fierce eyes like him. Lyra looked away from the mirror disgusted with herself knowing full well that her reflection in the mirror was only a cruel punishment for her. How was it good that she looked like her brother, the brother she killed because she just had to swim out into the ocean just so she could make herself superior to her class mates who always teased her for not knowing how to swim.

It was a punishment to look at herself in the mirror because it was a reminder every day that she was supposed to be dead and the person who was supposed to be looking in the mirror and seeing their own reflection was supposed to be her brother, Daniel.

Dawns Pov.

Dawn walked past the school gates with Paul by her side who was twitching in irritation from all the talking the young bluenette had managed from the walk from her house to the school. Paul looked from the corner of his eyes watching Dawn talking oblivious to the fact that he wasn't paying attention. He didn't know why, but people were staring at him and the girl. He could hear the whispers flooding the hallways as they walked in together. "Paul, Paul, HEY PAUL," Dawn screamed in his ears. She was talking since they left her house and when she turned around to see that he wasn't listening it made her angry.

Paul looked at her giving her the death glare, "I think you can walk to P.E. without me troublesome." Dawn stopped in her tracks her scowl on her face disappearing into confusion as she watched Paul walk ahead of her leaving her behind. For some reason when Paul left her side it all of a sudden got cold almost like he was supposed to be there with her. Dawn just stood there in the middle of the hallway watching the figure of her savior fading into the crowd of teenagers who were once gawking at them of how they casually walked in together, but now they were snickering of how easily Paul had left her side.

"Was it something I said," Dawn thought confused the change of heart from Paul. She thought they were going to be good friends since he had helped her and kept her safe, so you could say she was surprised none the less when he displayed such actions. Could it be that Paul only helped her out of pity because he went through the same thing? Dawn started walking again with her head down for some reason there was a pain in her heart as she realized that she was hoping to get closer to Paul, but knew she wouldn't.

While lost in her train of thoughts she failed to notice someone in front of her. Dawn bumped into a girl with crazy red hair and purple eyes that seemed lost. The girl surprised from the sudden action fell to the floor her books scattering everywhere along with her papers. Everyone in the hallway looked at the girl and laughed at her while she tried to gather her stuff holding back tears.

"I'm so sorry," Dawn said dropping to her knees and helping the poor girl she failed to notice. "I wasn't paying attention I'm sorry," Dawn said standing up when the girl did handing her the supplies that she dropped. Dawn smiled apologetically to the girl that was embarrassed from something that Dawn could have prevented. "It's okay it's not like anyone notices me anyways," the girl said grabbing the stuff from Dawn and looking down at the ground surprised that she was talking to her since no one did. "Are you kidding why wouldn't people notice you? You have amazing hair and eyes," Dawn said while smiling genuinely at the girl before her.

The girl looked at Dawn surprised and smiled when she noticed that she wasn't lying to her and actually saying the truth. "My name is Dawn," Dawn said while putting her hand out for her to shake. The girl smiled and shook Dawns hand, "My name is Zaliah." Dawn smiled at the girl, "Well I'll see you around Zaliah okay." Zaliah looked at Dawn smiling from ear to ear happy to meet someone actually nice.

Dawn waved goodbye to the girl and continued her walk to the gym where she would meet Paul again.

With Paul.

Paul didn't know why he wanted to get away from Dawn. If anything he would have loved to stay with her and walked with her. Surprisingly he enjoyed the young girl's company and how no matter what she managed to always keep a smile on her face, but he would never tell her that no matter how much he thought if it was true. He couldn't and wouldn't let someone back in so easily and just crush his heart leaving him feeling like a monster. Even now he doubts Dawn and his friendship. He didn't want to hurt the girl by being there when she needed him and ignoring her when she didn't.

He didn't even know why he cared for the young bluenette. He couldn't possibly have feelings for her could he? The more Paul thought of Dawn the more he wanted to be there for her, and the more he wanted to protect her.

Paul wasn't stupid or naïve. He knew he like the girl enough to be more than just acquaintances, but there was something telling him to keep away from her, and keep his feelings to himself. He felt that if he were to voice his feelings he would lose her. Paul looked to see that Proton was at his locker with a scowl on his face. Paul went up to him with a smirk ready to tease the hot headed boy about the young brunette he so happened to kiss the other day. "Hey Proton where is Lyra isn't she supposed to be with you," Paul said smirking at his friend whose face was facing away from him. Paul knew that Proton liked her, but was still stupid to realize it.

"Fuck off," Proton said to Paul the same thing he said to Green early that morning. Paul frowned at his friend sudden words and tone. He usually was in a pissy mode in the morning I mean who wasn't? But today the way Proton spoke Paul knew something was up and didn't like how he was taking it out on him. "What's up with you," Paul asked his friend who still wasn't looking at him. "Nothing," Proton grumbled slamming his once open locker and walking away from Paul only for him to follow after him. "Hey what went up your ass and died," Paul asked in an irritated tone even though he was trying to calm down his friend before he went on a rampage.

Proton sighed knowing he couldn't just keep this feeling any longer and he knew sooner or later he would blow a gasket and punch someone in the throat. Proton looked at his friend surprised he actually gave in and wanted to talk. Proton and Paul went out back to the school skipping first period not wanting anyone to hear their conversation. Proton sat on the ground his knees kind of close to his chest but not really with his hands in his pocket, and his head leaned back against the brick wall closing his eyes. Paul just stood on the side of him standing up and leaning against the brick wall looking out into the distance.

Proton just stayed there not saying anything. So much was running through his mind. He really hated Lyra, but liked her at the same time. Today was truly the only day he ever displayed such true affections to a girl. He was mad that he finnaly let some of his feeling being shown only to be walked out on right after, but he couldn't tell Paul that. Although they were close friends he could never let any type of weakness be shown through. He could never tell Paul how he actually felt about the girl so why not twist the truth a little right?

"I hate her," Proton said turning his head the other way, so Paul couldn't see that he was lying since he was pretty good at pointing that out.

Paul looked at Proton. He didn't say a name but when he said, "Her," he assumed he meant Lyra.

"Why do you hate her," Paul asked in a mono tone voice like it was a normal thing to talk about. Proton's eyebrows knitted together in confusion. He usually had any remark to anything that was thrown at him, but the question threw him off. He didn't know exactly why he hated the girl to begin with. He just knew he did. Proton quickly replaced his confused look with a scowl.

"The same reason why I hate everyone else," Proton replied not looking at his friend but out in the distance.

"Well Lyra doesn't seem to be just 'Everyone else', Proton,"

"What are you implying? That she is my friend. Well she's not,"

"I wasn't implying anything, and you're right she's not a friend to you, but something more" Paul retorted back to his friend now looking down at him with no facial expression or any emotion in his eyes waiting to see his reaction. Proton looked up with a scowl on his face clearly irritated that his friend could most likely see right through him.

"She is nothing to me."

"You have feelings for her just face it Proton someone actually has you under a spell. I mean that's why you kissed her."

And that's when Proton snapped. He snapped from all the anger, confusion, and even guilt built up inside him. He stood up grabbing his friend's shirt collar. He could feel the anger risen in his body and being shown in his eyes. Paul looked back the same way not liking how he all of a sudden decided to put his hands on him. "How many times do I have to tell you huh or are you deaf! I. Do. Not. Like. Her. She is scum on the bottom of my shoe," Proton hissed. Paul glared at his friend, "Well if she is scum on your shoe then she wouldn't be making you feel what you feel now."

"You don't know anything Paul," Proton grumbled pushing him away, turning around and walking away from his friend.

Paul watched as he saw Proton leave. "I do know that you're too stubborn and stupid to admit your feelings," Paul said knowing full well that Proton couldn't hear him.

With Dawn

Dawn exited the girls lockerroom confused to see that Paul wasn't in the gym. "Was it something I did wrong," Dawn thought while walking to her spot in the gym where her group would meet. She sat on the floor stretching just like the others people in her group. After finishing her stretches she saw that her coach wasn't present to give them instructions on what they would be doing for that day. Everyone around her gathered together and started talking to each other waiting for their coach or substitute. Dawn just went to sit on the gym school bleachers. Dawn sat there silently re-calling from everything that happened from last night. Then a struck of fear hit her knowing she would have to face her parents again, but this time she wouldn't be able to go with Paul. "I shouldn't depend on him for something like this all the time that I'm scared," Dawn thought, "I have to be strong enough to face my own problems 'cause I'm not the only one who goes through these things."

"Dawn why are you sitting over here by yourself," A voice appeared out of now where. Dawn looked up to see that it was one of her teacher's assistance, Volkner. Dawn looked to see that he was wearing P.E. clothes. He had a red t-shirt and blue shorts like the rest of the students. Dawn looked at him surprised to see him "Volkner what are you doing here?"

"Oh, you didn't here?"

"Here what?"

"I'm going to be your P.E. substitute for the rest of the year. Your P.E. teacher is pregnant so she's going to be gone for a while." Volkner replied smiling.

"What," Dawn said surprised standing up, "Our teacher is pregnant, b-b-but how."

"Well she does have a husband that she loves, so you see when two people love each other very much they-," But Volkner was cut off from Dawn waving her hands frantically in front of his face.

"No I don't mean that," Dawn said blushing from what he was about to tell her.

Volkner smiled at the girl and her re-action from what he was about to tell her. Volkner started laughing now that he really thought about it. "I know Dawn I wasn't actually going to tell you the birds and the bees." Dawn blushed again in embarrassment while Volkner nudge her playfully, "I was only teasing you It's funny to see your reaction. It's so innocent."

Dawn twitched her eye brow of how teasing Volkner could be.

"I'm glad to see that you get amusement out of my embarrassment and I'm not that innocent," Dawn said crossing her arms and glaring at Volkner who was all the while smiling down at her.

"Yes you are," Volkner said while grabbing Dawn's cheeks and squeezing it. Dawn blushed once more and slapped his hand away in annoyance. She thought Volkner was the last person to be treating her like a kid, but yet here was doing exactly that.

"Shouldn't you be teaching the class right now about fitness or something," Dawn said putting her hands on her hip and her eyebrows raised in a questioning manner.

Volkner smiled again at the young girl again, "I did, I told them they could play whatever sport they wanted to."

"Shouldn't you be watching them instead of talking to a teenager? You are a teacher's assistance and now a P.E. coach." Dawn said while sitting back down on the bleach only to receive a smile again from Volkner who then followed Dawns step and sat next to her. He causally put his hands behind his head in a relaxed manner while turning his head to look at Dawn. "Are you forgetting that I'm still a teenager?"

Dawn puffed her cheeks when Volkner outsmarted her, "I don't really think being 19 counts at being a teenager." Volkner laughed, "Oh, but it does count."

Dawn rolled her eyes playfully at her new founded friend and leaned back propping her elbows on the seat behind her. "Anyways, before you looked like something was really upsetting you," Volkner said his face showing a little concern. Dawn looked at him surprised that she was so transparent. "Nothing really just thinking about a few things."

"Well what were you thinking," Volkner questioned.

"You know …um …um …about school …life…drama…girl stuff," Dawn said trying to think of way to hide the fact that she was thinking about Paul.
"Oh when you mean girl stuff are you talking about the monthly thing cause you can go to the nurses office if you like," Volkner said laughing unsure since he hasn't have to deal with this type of situation.

Dawn closed her eyes in anger while her eyebrow twitched. Raising her hand she back handed him.

"No I don't mean monthly flow Volkner," Dawn hissed turning her body completely towards him and glaring at him. Volkner winced when she hit him and was now massaging the back of his head. "The girl sure does have a slap," he thought

"When I first meat you I thought you were mature," Dawn said crossing her arms again. Volkner laughed at the girl yet again today, "Hey I'm mature, but sometimes I would like to act like my age you know."

Dawn rolled her eyes what seemed like the fifth time that day.

"Besides when you said girl stuff what else was I supposed to think and if you don't mean monthly flow then what do you mean," Volkner asked curiously. Dawn sighed knowing he would keep questioning her about it until the day she died. "I was just thinking about someone that's all," Dawn whispered her face falling into a sad expression while looking at the ground, and her hands folded to fist in her lap.

Volkner looked at Dawn seeing how vulnerable she looked. He started reaching his hand out to brush his hand against her cheek to comfort her, but stopped when he realized what he was doing knowing that if anyone saw it that it would be wrong. He wanted to scoop the girl up and comfort her because he could tell that she was holding something down. Volkner's face that was once in a silly grin was now back to a serious, emotionless expression. "Does that someone happen to be a …boy," Volkner asked not really sure what he was doing.

Dawn's eyes and face was still locked to the ground, "Yeah."

Volkner didn't know why, but he felt a little pain in his heart when she answered yes to his question, but he just brushed it away. "Did they hurt you," Volkner questioned hoping the boy she was talking about wasn't abusing her, and if he was he would make sure that it would stop.

"Not physically no, and well not emotionally either," Dawn said not sure what was wrong with her and why she felt so…depressed. Volkner looked at her a little confused girls were sure hard to understand.

"Well, " Dawn continued, "it's just he makes me really confused about everything that I feel towards him… it's just so frustrating!" Dawn finished while slamming her fist against the bleacher showing her aggressive side. Volkner smiled faintly at the girl, "Well do you like him,"

Dawn blushed at what he said, "W-What o-of c-course n-not…w-well i-I mean … I-I d-don't t-think s-so." Volkner smile grew wider from the girl's reaction. "Sounds to me like you do." Dawn looked up at Volkner.

"Look I know you may be confused about the boy you like right now, but trust me just give it some time and you'll find out soon enough if you want to take your friendship to something more"

Dawn smiled at Volkner of how he could calm her mind. "Thanks Volkner." Volkner taken back from the girls beautiful smile blushed just a tiny bit. Just a tiny bit. Volkner not really wanting to further the talk of boys stood up stretching his arms over his head. Dawn looked at him a little confused from how fast he got up.

Volkner looked back at Dawn smirking at her, "It looks like P.E. is going to end right about now." Dawn nodded while getting up and walking toward the girls' locker room. "Oh and Dawn," Volkner called. Dawn turned around at Volkner. "Whoever this boy is lucky for you to even care about them." Dawn taken back from the statement blushed a little and smile at him and waved at him before running off again.

When Dawn was out of sight Volkner's face soon fell from a smile to a sad expression. He didn't know why but his heart ached for the girl but yet again he brushed the emotion off from just feeling protective of her like a sister. "Yeah, that's what is," Volkner thought, "I think of her like a sister, that's," But deep down Volkner knew that was hardly from it.

Okay so I had a lot planned out for this chapter but a lot of things have come up like basketball, test, and class cabinet L I hope I didn't disappoint you too much. I wanted to extend it to where Lyra and Proton meet after school and hell would break lose! Haha I wanted to show a little Volkner and Dawn moment because I can't deny that I like them also. Please tell me how I did and I apologize if I did bad I'm so sorry!
