"You think Lucas got trampled yet?"Umbreon said looking at the crowd.
"Umbreon!" I said shocked.
"Geez it was just a question. Besides he's the one who's late, again." She said sitting down next to me by my feet, I sat down on the curb of a garden and propped my head on my hand.
"It's not like he always on time." I said watching the entrance. I sighed, "how long has it been since he was suppose to be here?"
"A half an hour," Umbreon said arching her back in a stretch. "Should we see if he forgot, again?" I didn't want to give up on Lucas but I knew that I would probably see him in the diner anyway.
"Sure why not." I hopped off my perch and glance over my shoulder one last time. Nope still AWOL.
"Beth!" I heard my voice coming from the opposite direction and saw Nancy running up the walk way. My sprits perked right back up at the sight of Nancy perky haircut. "Hey long time no see."
In about a minute Nancy had convinced me to go walking with her. The Breeder convection that was today at the square in the middle of the town doubled as a contest tonight, so we had all day to talk . It was nice to hang out with a girl for once, even though I was used to the boyish adventures I spent with my brothers and Lucas I knew this was good for me.
After we shopped around the booths for a while, eventually we wandered into the garden. There were a couple breeders amongst the flowers with the pokemon. It was nice out so when we found a empty bench by a fountain, so we let the pokemon out to play.
We discussed different things such as a contest moves and how excited we were until Nancy brought up a different topic. "I'm so glad I found you today because someone else is looking for you." Nancy said, putting her hands on her lap. "Do you know the coordinator Lana?"
At this point of the day I felt like I was going to throw up. I had been happy all day until this little piece of info fell into my lap. This made me understand how Lucas forgot about meeting up with me again; he had been spending time with Lana.
I collected myself and asked, "Why is she looking for me?" even though I was pretty sure I knew the answer.
"Well, you see…" Nancy tried to form a sentence. "She doesn't exactly like you and she kind likes Lucas and since you two are together-"
"Wait, backup" I said in shock. "I'm not dating Lucas, we're only friends." I said watching Nancy face. She looked confused and shocked.
"No way!" Nancy said completely lost for words, well kind of. "You guys… But when I saw you… what?"
"I'm not dating Lucas." I said slowly watching Umbreon out of the corner of my eye. I quickly refocused the topic, "What is Lana going to do?"
"Who could seriously know?" Nancy said looking down the path, her face darkened. "But it looks like we're going to find out."
I looked up the path and saw the three bobbing blonde heads of Lana, Fana and Montana. Nancy got really jumpy next to me. I stood up calmly, put away all my pokemon expect Umbreon and walked over them. I did my best to keep poise and not be scared, while Nancy looked kind of peeved and didn't hide her emotions.
When we met at the mid-point Lana looked me up and down and laughed cruelly, Nancy scowled. I remained calm but things were probably going to go south anyway. Fana and Montana came up behind us and boxed us in.
"What does he see in you?" Lana asked in her snotty voice. "You're not that tall, your hair is isn't blonde at all, your eyes are too big, and you're barely devolved for a sixteen year old."
"Shut up Lana she's pretty then you." Nancy said making her hands fists at her sides.
"Oh shut it!" Montana said sort of stepping between us and cutting us off from each other. "Your brother told me all about how chicken you are!" Montana said in a snotty voice to Nancy.
Umbreon told a defensive position and growled at Lana. I put a hand on her back to calm her down and remind me I wasn't alone. Lana grinned wickedly, "But I can defiantly see why he so sick of saving you. You're completely hopeless you can't even handle your one ugly one." At the ugly comment, Umbreon's fur stood on end.
"I'm going to rip her face off," Umbreon's growling became louder.
"Don't," I said weakly, feeling my confidence begin to shatter.
"And seriously I don't believe your dad died I think he just left because he was sick of his ugly, stupid daughter," Lana face looked monstrous as I fought the tears on my face. I felt a hollow spot in my chest. My dad had died when I was just young enough to remember, and everything he was discussed I cried. But the way Lana had put it made me feel like it was my fault and that I should have died for being me. My mom had always told me not to cry but now for the second time I cried because I was in different kind of pain.
Lana knew she had winning her stupid fight and add salt to the wound. "Just like Lucas. He's leaving tomorrow with me and ditching you." She looked at her nails calmly as though she lost interest in me. "He told me how often he has to save and that it would probably always be that way. Then he told of stupid it seems to stick around with an idiot like you." For a minute I couldn't process the information and slowly it made more and more sense in my ears but made my heart hurt more and more. And the final blow "He called you a freak of nature." She said smiling cruelly.
The hollow and painful feeling in my gut ached harder and the tears broke but in the same way my temper snapped. I clenched my fists and let my chest fill with anger, "Are you so bored that this is all you can do to preoccupy your lonely brain cell? Seriously you can take Lucas because now I want nothing to do with either of you."
And then I pushed past Lana and ran down the street with tears blinding me.
