CHAPTER 9
Hey guys it's Ann1amour and it's the next chapter of our CC series. Well I think if the way I've prepared the story remains like that then it would be 7 to 8 more chapters till it ends. Still my upcoming updates would be constant with at least bringing up one chapter( might be two) a week.
Amourshipper35: I liked the way you liked it (XD) but this might not be the chapter you'll like, still it's an important one.
Without further ado it's chap 9, let's go!
A/N: Ash and Serena were very close to kiss and on the other hand, gary got to know about the heinous situation of their school.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Pokémon, and I don't think anyone of you ever has(have you?)
The evening has started to be a bit chillier than usual as winter is close. But it was a shame that Serena was out there with just a sleeveless off-shoulder red skirt on. This was the only time she missed her long sleeved red woolen vest, which was a part of her regular costume. She started to rub her shoulders to feel the remnants of her body warmth, but clearly that was not enough.
'must have brought something to wear, oh mom I miss your advice to take something warmer' she thought.
She did mean it. Just when she was getting ready earlier that day, her mom handed her a woolen striped black jacket to carry, which she instatntly refused saying,
"now I can't walk hand in hand with Ash if I have the other engaged to a thing I might not need. This would be uncomfortable. So ….. keep it back"
Now she regret saying that.
She glanced at Ash, turning her eyes from the busy streets, and saw him wearing a blue hoodie, which was not the thing he had all the day.
"hey Ash, I didn't see you carrying anything when we were in the restaurant. But where did you get this" she pointed his hoodie.
"oh this one, I had this reserved to miss sasha, the one with the blue gown attending guests at the entrance, remember. Actually she's a relative of mine and my mom wanted her to keep this in case I refused to carry it myself. She came to our house the last evening and arranged for our reservations, when I said I wanted to take you there. Mom handed her the jacket, which was quite embarrassing for me, but she stood to her ground. Still it worked for me, as it's a little cool today,y'know"
"hmm" she nodded.
It did not take much time for Ash to understand why had she asked that question, and just after a few more steps, he took off his hoodie and covered Serena with it.
"here, have it, else you'll catch cold"
Initially astonished by the boy's actions, she did accept the offer with a radiant smile as they resumed walking towards her house.
"hey Serena, what was the thing you were asking that time before the waiter appeared?"
She remembered that her final question was still unanswered.
"nevermind, it just came like that."
"no, but still, what was that?"
"well, I wanted to know what would you like to do once you've achieved your dreams."
"oh yeah that's the one. Um let me think."
Ash had a mischievous grin on his face which did not go unnoticed by Serena.
"what's there to smirk?" she lean in on his face with twitchy eyebrows.
"oh nothing, just wondering how beautiful and elegant my wife would be when we'd be married and would start up staying down with our kids, once I'm a Pokémon master"
Even a blind could have guessed that Serena was blushing like a ripened tomato that time while she leaned back and gestured,
"oh!"
Ash stifted out a giggle, and then dared to laugh uncontrollably when mustering,
"h-have you s-s-seen your fa-face hahahahaha!"
"why- wha-what's the matter?"
"your blushing like hell."
"oh! Sorry!"
Ash restrained himself
"don't be, if anything I just want to say you one thing that would certainly change my life forever." He smiled as he proceeded to caress her cheeks with his fingers and leaned in slowly.
Serena did not know what was going on
"what are you d-doing ash"
She could not believe if it was really happening
But before she say anything more Ash stopped her sentences by putting a finger on her lips saying,
"sshhh! Please don't talk. Just let your emotion to flow through. Serena."
Their foreheads touched.
Ash resumed saying,
"Serena, there's one more thing that I want to be a part of, with you, to make this day complete for me. And there's hardly anyone I'd like to share this same feeling with, but with you, Serena I….."
And after that what couldn't go wrong , did go wrong.
"hey Serena, and….. Ash, well well well what are you both up to, huh. Did it miss something" it was Grace.
A dagger was all that Serena needed to finish her task.
They shoved each other apart as grace came closer.
Serena seethed with anger to see her mom smile at them.
"I hope then both of you have a great day, but child it's late so say goodbye to Ash. We should head home."
"what!but we're not done yet, please get the freakin' outta here mom"she ranted on.
Ash spoke his part.
"no, Serena it's quite late and you should listen to your mom. We did have a great day but now it's time to say good bye, until Monday, okay." He passed a toothy grin, which did calm Serena down.
She nodded
Grace remarked, " well Ash thanks for taking care of my daughter all this day, I'm really grateful, and sorry to interrupt."she stuck her tongue out.
"nah mrs grace, she's the one to have made my day. But yeah I did came handy in some situations." He said as he took off his jacket from Serena.
"I'm glad you came in handy" grace smirked.
"off I go then, bye bye Serena, see ya" he waved to be returned by Serena, who had her eyes connected to the raven haired
Both had the best smiles of their lives and that unveiled all of their doubts.
'she knows' he thought.
'he knows' she thought.
"I know" grace plunged in
"atta girl Serena!" she continued
Serena knew she had to get used to her mom's teasing every moment from now on.
But was mentally ecstatic, to have shared such an emotional moment with her crush.
'thank you lord.' She whispered, as she watched the glimmering stars in the night sky.
'thank you' she repeated.
POKE HIGH- STUDENT COUNCIL SECTOR, SPECIAL MEETING.
"so did you sign the agreement?" asked gary.
"It was more of a dictated ordinance than an agreement, gary, and I had no way out"
"so what's this meeting for, I mean there's nothing we can do, right?"
"to be honest, yes, but I want you and Ash to inform this to the students, the first thing when they reach tomorrow."
Gary wanted to leave the place immediately, but asked instead
"then where the hell is Ash."
"I asked him to join but he refused saying he had some private matters."
"damn it!"
"I'm sorry boy. But I wish to save our school and our heritage from those wretched welps, only if I could."
He sighed once more and then said,
"the meeting dismissed, you all may leave."
SO THIS IS WHERE THE CHAPTER ENDS. Hada lotta ups and down in it.
For those readers who have also went through my recently published story 'Unexpected lovers' let me tell you guys, the second chapter might be a bit late. As the chapter's not yet complete, the plot's not wholly ready either. But I can guarantee you it would be worth the wait.
Till then for our favorite CC, please R&R (the second R is more important)
Bye. CYL.
