AT LUNCH
Ash and Gary were the first to reach the canteen. Soon some of their other friends gathered who were later introduced to Ash as May, Cilan, Clemont, Brock and Misty. Ash was later introduced to all of them. Suddenly misty blurted out
"so Ash do you have got a girlfriend yet?"
Ash did not see this coming which he replied almost immediately trying to avoid any other nerve racking circumstance and told rather obliviously,
"nope and what does this question mean now?"
"It means a lot Ash." Misty stated in an encouraging seductive voice.
Ash was totally confused but did not intend to take it further and tried to change the topic saying , "hey guys I guess all of us wants to be the best Pokémon trainer right?"
To his surprise all laughed and said in unison, "nope."
"Huh now what?"
"we may study in the same university but that doesn't mean we have the same careers" clemont replied Ash in a clear tone.
"just take my one, I want to be the best Pokémon breeder in the world" brock said as clement continued with his suggestions
" I want to be the inventor of all time although I do love Pokémon battles"
"I want to be the best Poke'mon coordinator" May stated.
"I want to be the best Poke'mon connoisure in the world" cilan implied happily.
Finally misty spoke , " likewise I want to be the best water Poke'mon trainer" she looked at Ash and asked him " do you get it now?"
"Yeah I guess."
It was by this time that Dawn had arrived.
"hey guys I'm sorry but the girl I told you all will come shortly. She is just refreshing herself in the washroom. By the way who is this dashing boy standing here."
"ah hello, I'm Ash a friend of gary . we have just met in our last class."
"oh that's cool, I'm Dawn it's nice to meet you."
"Yeah it's cool to see ya"
Walking down the aisle of the canteen Serena made her way to her friend Dawn when she found Ash standing there. She was more than happy to see him again but suddenly nerves got the better of her. 'why do I feel like this?' she thought, when she heard her name called by Ash himself
On the other hand Ash was surprised when Dawn pointed her coming over to them and stated, "there she is!"
He was extremely glad to know that the girl she met in his first class was the one Dawn met in her second. Waving his hand over to her ,he called, "Serena!"
When just in a flash he felt a little nervous and chuckled to himself
' why do I feel like this?'
Sweeping all his twirling thoughts Serena came over but soon was found herself embracing Ash in the most passionate way as Ash whispered to her ear, "I was hoping to catch up to you in the lunch but I am extremely glad to find you here." Forgetting her earlier nervousness she quickly replied, " I am more than happy to see you again Ash."
She was quickly interrupted by Dawn who sassily stated, "looks like you know him already. He is your boyfriend, isn't he?"
This statement jolted both the teens and as they came out of the hug they screamed in unison, "uh we are just friends!"
All laughed staring at the duo although misty glared at her which did not escape her eyes. She stopped laughing.
Misty said, "Yeah I would hate if he gets someone like her."
"o come on misty it's her first day in here, don't say stuffs like this."May quickly pulled her back.
" hello there I'm May it's nice to meet you and sorry about that."
"um hi I'm Serena it's nice to meet you too."
"she just gets out of her mind sometimes, don't worry." Dawn tried to comfort her to which she passed a bright smile and said, " yeah she's okay I guess."
She was introduced to all as the team went to different ways for the rest of the lunch time leaving Ash and Serena alone.
"guess what, we still have some more time don't we?" Ash said
"Yeah."
"Would you mind having a lunch with me in the canteen then?"
" I'd love to have it Ash"
"kay then lets go!"
Saying this he grabbed her hand and led her or rather pulled her to the eating section.
As they reached there and sat on a chair Serena exclaimed in a teasing manner, "wow Ash, that was a nice lead."
"hehe, did that hurt you ?"
"no, I'm fine, thanks for your help." She said with a wink.
" hey Serena what are you gonna have?"
"let me see. What about having some noodles with a dessert."
"sounds great." He got up from his seat and hailed the waiter, "hello there we would like to have chicken noodles with mayoniese and two bars of choco delight."
"fine sir, thanks for the order."
Soon the table was packed with foodstuffs . The waiter thanked them and walked away.
Ash spoke up first, " man these look awesome, lets dig in!"
Serena was glad to see such organized and beautiful preparations and quickly started relishing it. Ash was just ramming the delicately prepared arts just in flash.
She giggled to watch his process of eating .
After a while he asked her with lumps of suffused eatables in his mouth, " you eat quiet patiently Serena just like sophisticated people."
She blankly stared at him thinking he has perhaps misunderstood manner with patience but viewing his goofy smile made her realize he only said the thing he intended to, as Ash continued.
" I can hardly control myself when I see delicious foods decorating the table."
"but your style of eating is kinda cute and I appreciate it. Good manners are boring sometimes."
"Yeah you're right"
They again concentrated on consuming the lunch.
After some moments of silence Ash spoke up, "hey Serena, it's just that I wanna make sure you're okay."
Serena had her mouth open wide with astonishment and said, "sure I am. Why won't I be?"
"ah, it's just after that girl, whats her name? yeah misty. She did say some rude words to you not to my liking you know."
"Yeah I was a little pissed off after she said those stuffs to me which I don't know why. Anyways Dawn comforted me well not letting to dampen my mood."she replied with a sweet ecstatic smile.
They had to leave the canteen since they were done with their lunch. Ash was paying in the bill counter while Serena sat on one of the sofas available there. She was feeling very happy to spend more time with Ash. She knew she had butterflies in her stomach but didn't know why. It was surely for him that she got up pretty well in her first day, still there was something more in her mind, she felt there was something in this Ash that made her heart flatter, his raven unruly hairs ,auburn eyes, slim arms and…
'don't overthink Serena' she reminded herself. She was about to get up and hail him when he came up to her and placing his hand on hers took her out of the canteen.
OUTSIDE THE CANTEEN
"So how was the lunch" Ash asked Serena as walked towards their next classroom.
"Wow Ash, it was absolutely amazing. Having a day out with you is so breathtaking that I can hardly describe it in words. You are really one of a kind Ash, thank you so much for calling me here." she replied with a bright lively smile.
Ash was perhaps caught off guard by that beautiful smile of hers. He surely was feeling different around her since she waved that smile when he asked her if she was okay after misty's rude behavior towards her. To make matters more bewildering he was feeling a lot edgy and twitchy when he sees her smile. His head starts reeling and his chest starts to burn up. It was not a irritating feeling, rather it's felt really good but he didn't knew what was the cause of it. Again that smile. For some moments he could not open up his mouth to speak as if it was sealed by some unnatural intuition. His face was completely red, good lord Serena couldn't see through it.
'say something!' he slapped himself internally. Finally he regained his composure and said, "Thanks Serena. That means a lot."
"um, Ash which class do you have now"
"I –I am h-having biology I g-guess….." he was still jumpy around her and could not muster words to speak.
"I am having that too. Then let's go together c'mon."
"y-yeah!"
They started walking as slow as they could to reach their class giving them a little more time to gossip.
Entering the room they were greeted by their teacher with sugar coated words.
"you guys could not get out of your trash tattling huh? Now chat as much as you wish since you are off with detention." With this they were tossed out of the class.
OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
Ash and Serena were constantly laughing since they were out in the lobby.
Still giggling Ash spoke out , "our teacher is soooooo cute don't ya think?"
"Yeah he is sweeter than a marshmellow" she said in fits of laughter.
They laughed loud again.
"It was amazing day with you Serena, eating, hanging out, kidding, laughing and what not. I think we have already become best friends"
" yes Ash, we have. I am glad to have a friend like you, with whom I can easily share my every emotions. Thanks to give me a such a space Ash."
Ash was feeling exceedingly comfortable standing outside the corridor( not that they wished to stand) where the soothing breeze calmed his face and there was Serena, the girl who was making him feel different though little nervy still spending time with her was all that he could have wished for at that time. Fixing his cap he lightly said, "don't say this Serena, I really enjoy spending time with you since you are such an amazing girl." Pausing a little he blankly stared at her and continued, "your honey hairs, sapphire blue eyes are beautiful…." Realizing what he had just said he blurted out, "uh…..sorry jus couldn't control my emotions."
Serena was taken aback by such a sudden confession by Ash but she eventually composed herself and said, "it's okay Ash, I like if person like you compliment me." With a eminent smile plastered on her face. Ash really was a kind and cute guy to be with and she would love if she get a time to hang out with him. She has already grown a small crush on him, but what if Ash already had someone in his mind? She quickly went past these thoughts and asked, "um…..ash if you won't mind can I ask you something?"
"sure. You can ask me anything Serena, go ahead!"
"I was wondering if you had someone special in your life. Since anyone would fall for a guy like you."
"nope. I never gave these stuffs much hit. What about you?"
'although I really feel you are very special to me Serena.' He thought.
"huh!? …I guess I never thought of it either."
'although I will love to be with you, perhaps…' she thought.
"so it is just that none of us had a love life before."
"Yeah."
The bell rang signaling the commence of the last period of the first day of pallet high. Before they headed to their respective classes Ash just took her hand and said, "whoever we get our friendship is not gonna end right? Since you're very special to me Serena."
"why will our friendship end? I can hardly live without talking and staying with you Ash. This is the bond we share."
They smile towards each other which they felt like eternity and waved as they disappeared in the crowd.
After some time
The final bell rang and the first day had come to an end. Serena was too much happy to be here now, meeting so many friends, nice teachers and …. Ash.
She was walking to her home where she had a chance meeting with calem, better called as the bully of the school. She tried to avoid him in the first place but he took notice of it and approached towards her and in a spasmodic tone said, "hey beauty heading towards home. But baby your home is where I live, now c'mon won't like to see our bedroom?"
Serena knew she was in trouble. But she pretended to be undaunted by his words and replied, "stop talking shit and get outta my way….." she was not able to finish her speech when held her hand and started dragging her towards the forest.
"help please help!" she screamed but in vain.
Calem laughed evily and snickered, "no one is gonna save you babe it's juuuust you and m…. aaaaahhhhh!"
A lightning bolt struck him not letting him to finish this time. Serena moved her eyes to see who it was. It was a yellow mouse Pokémon followed by a familiar voice,
"go Pikachu use thunder volt!"
"pikaaaachuuuuuuuu!"
The electric Pokémon gave out a thunder that hit calem making him run for his life.
Serena now could see who the trainer was. Ash. It was him.
She could not belief her eyes. Part of her inner self wanted to see the dreaded maggot, or calem, run frantically out of the forest getting freaked out, but most of her inner self wanted to continue staring Ash's auburn eyes as he stared at her, making her heart skip thousand times a second. After some initial moments of silence Serena mustered a huge smile on her face and running wild threw her arms wrapping his neck, burrowing her head on his shoulder, and said, "o Ash! I am glad that you came, thank you so much for saving me." As hot tears streamed down her cheeks. Ash knew what he should do now. He wasted no time to wrap his arms around her waist and , with a confident grin implied, "shhh….. it's okay Serena. As long as I am there, no one can ever harm you. I won't let that happen"
"bu (sniff) but Ash(sniff) but….." she could not gather her words when she felt his hand rubbing her hairs.
"it's okay Serena, tears don't suit you. You are way stronger than this.
His words were so comforting that she stopped crying but continued hugging him. Ash continued to caress her hairs and rub her back, to which she gave in and hugged him tight. Both reluctantly broke apart, but Ash took her hand in his and said, "don't worry, I am gonna drop you to your house today, and make sure no one hurts you again. Let's go!" he smiled. Her heart instantly flattered but they continued to walk in silence enjoying each other's company when the encountered two separated ways. Ash looked at both of them then turning his face to Serena asked, "which road shall we take?"
"actually it's the left of yours."
Ash dumbly stared her to which she blushed and asked, "uh…. What's the matter Ash?"
"you aren't kidding, are you?"
"why will I?"
"this is crazy Serena, I have my way this way also."he laughed and started pulling her hand rushing through the was hard to keep up with his leaping speed and one time Serena felt like tripping on the road but someone caught her from falling.
"uh….. thanks, just couldn't run fast enough"
"it's okay, guess I was running terribly fast."
Serena was in Ash's flustered again.
'oh my emotions please compose yourself in front of this charming boy,else I will surely faint.' She thought.
Ash saw her reddened face and said, "hey you don't have a fever, do you?"
"no Ash I am fine." She replied standing back on her feet.
"then let get going!"
They reached to a beautiful red pent house with a huge lawn where a rhyhorn was sleeping. The railing had beautiful carving of gods.
Serena came forward and stated, "without further adieu I present you my house"
They laughed.
"Yeah, it's awesome . You know what, I have mine, a little ahead, about five houses over there. Gee, that makes are neighbours more than just friends"
She was a little lost in the words of 'more than friends' but skipping her thoughts she leaned over and kissed Ash on the cheek, leaving the latter stunned.
"thank you Ash for making my day such great and memorable , goodnight."
"…."
"Ash!?"
"huh"
"are you okay?"
"Yeah uh….. go-good night"
His cheeks were burning up and a tense feeling crept up in his mind, but when Serena closed her door, he touched the part where she kissed and thought,
'well I guess I know what this means.'
He walked towards his house. His beaming smile proved that he was happy.
