Max sighed as he walked through the halls of the school. The people picking on him were starting to be less severe. However, he is still sad that someone actually did that to him and that all his friends laughed at him. Suddenly he was snapped out of his thoughts when a familiar voice greet him. He turned around and saw Vivi, and said, "Hi… It's been a while." It was crazy to see her again, as she was his first crush as a kid, and he still finds her extremely cute even now.

"How have you been?" Vivi asked.

"I've been hanging in there… you know with what happen with at the lunchroom about a week ago…" He turned around all red, expecting her to remember and uncontrollably laugh at him.

She thought for a bit. "Oh yeah. Whoever did that to you is terrible!"

Max gave her a shocked look.

Vivi crossed her arms with an irritated look. "Yeah, whoever did that to you deserved to have their pants pulled down on live tv!"

Max laughed. "Yeah." The school bell rang, signaling one minute to class. "Ah! We should get going!"

"Yeah… well, see you around." Vivi started to walk to class.

"Hey!" Max shouted.

Vivi turned to him with a confused look.

"Let's hangout at lunch!" He looked away with an embarrassed look. "I-If you'd like, that is…"

She smiled. "Sure! See you then!"

Max beamed. "Right! See you then!"

They both went to class.

Shauna sighed as she walked to lunch.

Trevor with Tierno walked over to her. "Hey, we did you hide your feelings about Calem from us? We could've tried to help you!"

Shauna sighed. "I didn't want you two to tell him about my feelings for me."

"We wouldn't! Why do have no faith in us?" Tierno asked.

Shauna sighed remembering how they spilled to her mom that she went to a party with them and did not go at Trevor's house to hang.

Calem walked up. "Hey everyone. What are you all talking about?"

Treavor and Tierno were about to answer when they saw Shauna's face.

"I uh… just realized, I have a LOT of homework to do!" Trevor ran off.

Calem gave a confused.

"I uh…" Tierno started. Then he let out a loud, smelly fart. "Have to go to the bathroom really badly!"

Shanna covered her nose. "Ewww! Terino!" she ran off.

"Hey! Wait up, Shauna!" Calem ran off after her. He's been ignoring all the stuff that people around him and doesn't care about all the talk about the love letter that people went around and talked about. He'd only pay attention to it if it came from Shauna's mouth. He sees her very playful and likes to tease and fails to notice that she has tried to flirt with the oblivious teen. Though maybe to clear the air, he figured to talk to her about it. "So, Shauna… How do you feel about me?"

Shauna stopped frozen in his tracks with a huge blush on her face. "Oh well…" Honestly, she doesn't know where to start. "So… I guess you heard the rumors… which are just rumors, by the way!"

"Just as I thought… I'm sorry to bother you about it." Calem continued walking to the cafeteria.

Shauna gave him a confused look. Then ran up by him. "What?"

"I just wanted to clear things about that… being friends and all."

Shauna looked away with a frown as she heard the f word. "Does he not care about if I have romantic feelings for him?" Shauna wondered.

Calem looked over to Shauna. "Is something wrong?"

Shauna gave a nervous smile. "Oh… nothing." Shauna guesses it makes since Calem doesn't like her. She's been flirting with him for quite some time, but he never shown any interest. Maybe she should just take the hint.

Calem didn't ever try to think about romance and hooking up. He was always focused on his pokemon and his goal of being a great pokemon trainer. He does like Shauna, but he doesn't really know if its more than a friend. Calem does think she's very pretty, but he finds a lot of girls pretty too. In the end, he guesses it's not really important to worry about.

Bonnie was walking with Clemont to lunch.

"So since I messed up your relationship with Dawn and Korrina is out of the question, I got an idea for a girl you can meet!"

"No Bonnie! Please don't start!" He placed his hand on his head with a stressed look, remembering her trying to get girls for him when he was younger.

"But…"

"It's fine. I just… I want to just focus on my schoolwork right now."

"Okay…" They both went to get their food. When Bonnie returned, she beamed when she saw a friend she hasn't seen in a while. She dropped her food on the table and gave him a huge hug. "Max! you're back!"

Max blushed with a surprised look. "Y-yeah…"

Vivi gave a confused look. "Max, is this your girlfriend?"

"W-what?" Max shouted. "I mean she's a girl that's my friend, but…"

Bonnie let go of Max and looked at Vivi. "I'm Bonnie. I'm guessing you're one of Max's friends?"

"Yeah! I'm Vivi and I met Max before we became trainers."

Bonnie smiled. "I see! Well, thanks for getting Max back for us!"

Vivi gave her a confused look.

"You see, Max hasn't been hanging with us at all until now," Ash explained.

Vivi looked at Max with a worried look. "Is everything okay, Max?"

Everyone starred at him with a concerned look.

Max smiled. "Of course! I mean, I'm here now… So nothing is wrong!"

Bonnie frowned. "But you avoided us for a more than a week…"

Max looked down as he remembered him down on the ground with his rear end exposed and hearing Bonnie's laugh, and the pain being worse with that than his face hitting the hard cement floor.

May smiled. "I'm sure he was worried about getting his shorts pulled down again. Don't worry Max, we've been more observant since that day! No one will get away with doing that again!"

Max gave her sister with an annoyed look as she implied he didn't come back because he was a coward.

Vivi smiled. "Well, I'm glad I gave him the confidence to face that bully."

Max gave her a confident look. "Hey, I just figured that I should gave that guy what for if he tried that again!"

"Oh, I see…"

Clemont came over to sit down with his food, and saw Korrina and Cress kissing, which made him look away with a frown. Bonnie was close to them, so he went to sit far away from that and sat by some guy. He was able to eat for a bit before he heard weird noises by the guy he sat by. He looked towards him and saw him drooling over his ex and her girlfriend kissing. He sighed as he wondered why he's running into so many guys drooling over his ex.

Zoey noticed Conway watching them and threw the rest of Dawn's club sandwich that she was finished eating at him.

Even when the sandwich wasn't that hard, it still managed to bruise Conway's face. Conway picked up the club and started rubbing his face with it. "…Dawn's germs."

Clemont stated at him with a horrified look as he leaned into the other person he was sitting by.

"Get of me!" Paul said. He shoved him into Conway.

"Yeah! And stay off my master!" Barry shouted.

"No! This is mine!" Conway shouted as he shoved him back onto the purple haired guy.

Paul shoved him on the ground. "You want to start something?"

"N-no! Sorry! Just leaving!" Clemont ran off without his lunch.

"Yeah! And don't you ever think about sitting near us ever again!" Barry shouted.

Bonnie saw Clemont as he ran off. "Hey big bro! Over here!"

Clemont sighed as he heard his sister. "Coming…" He went to stand by her as the only spot available to sit was by Cress who was still smooching on Korrina.

"Hey look! Max is back!"

"Oh yeah! It's good to see you again. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah!" Max said.

"That's good! We were all worried about you…"

"I see. Sorry to worry you."

"So Clemont, where's your lunch?"

Clemont looked over to where he left his tray with a worried look. "I… ate it all already." He was glad the lunchroom was so loud so his stomach growling couldn't be heard.

Bonnie could tell Clemont was lying as he was a bad liar. She got up from her seat. "Who's the jerk that I have to get your lunch back from?"

Clemont put her hands up. "Bonnie wait! I just left it…" He pointed to his tray. "Right there."

She looked at him with a confused look before answering, "Kay. I'll go and get it for you."

"Be careful Bonnie! Watch out for…him." Clemont pointed at Conway.

Bonnie watched the guy with a raised eyebrow. "Why is he licking that sandwich?"

"…It's probably better if you don't know."

Bonnie walked over to where Clemont pointed and looked at Conway. She noticed the club was pretty wrecked from Zoey hitting him with it. "Hey, you're supposed to eat your food, you know!"

"This isn't mine…" Conway said.

"Whose is it?"

"Dawn's germs…. Mmmm." He said as he continued to lick the bitten side of the club.

Bonnie glared at him angrily as she slammed his face on the table, grabbed the club, slammed it in the trash, grabbed Clemont's food and went back to her spot.

Clemont smiled as she returned. "Thanks Bonnie!"

She placed his food by Cress who both Korrina and him were staring at each other and giggling.

Clemont sighed, but he went over and sat there. It was much better than his previous spot at least.

While Bonnie wasn't looking, Conway snuck to the garbage where she threw the sandwich away ignoring his broken glasses from getting wrecked from being slammed on the table. But when he found it, it was covered in ketchup, soda, used napkins and other things that where in the trash. Thus, it deluded the sandwich and couldn't just enjoy Dawn's germs anymore. He mopped by the garbage as people starred at him with a disturbed look.
