Wow its been long since I've updated this…I'm so sorry about that. I've been really busy with school and my other stories as well. Also, I may have forgotten about this story…hehe. But no worries, I'll try to update as regularly as I can.
So about this chapter, there's a song in here that you all might know about. So if you wanna see what it is, you're just gonna have to read it.
So, without further ado, here is the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon…or the song.
"Dawn! Dawn! Dawn! Come quick!" Barry rushed over to me as he called me. He seemed a little sweaty and was panting from rushing.
"What is it, Barry?" I asked, curious. I waited for his response as he was still panting a little.
"Rehearse…dance….over…there.." Barry said, in between gasps. He was pointing to the dance class. I knew that I had made a promise to my mother and as tempting as dance was, I knew I had to fulfil my promise to my mom. I sighed.
"Sorry, Barry, but I'm gonna go take classes first, and then I'll see ya at dance class." I said. He looked at me and put his hands on his hips and then glared at me.
"Who are you and what have you done with Dawn?" He asked comically. He chuckled.
"Barry, I'm serious, I'll see you later." I winked at him before leaving to go to classes.
"Well I've never seen Dawn like this before…" Barry said to no one in particular.
As I managed to get to my first class of the day, I sat down only to be visited by May. She lit up a bright smile in front of me.
"Hey, how's it going?" May asked. I chuckled.
"Great! Meet you at dance class later?"
"Of course!" She winked at me.
Like I said before, I wasn't the best at school and even worse, I wasn't a genius at most subjects. To tell you the truth, I disliked school for a lot of reasons. School and I didn't go together; it was almost like we were two mixtures that weren't likely to mix together. I was allergic to school and most subjects in school. I hated math, science, English, -should I go on? The point was that if I needed to get my grades up, I was going to need desperate help, or a tutor to be more specific. I looked around the classroom…I wonder if there were any nerds available. To my very surprise, Zoey turned out to be the perfect person to help me.
"Zoey! Girl…how does it go?" I came up to her and said casually.
"Hey Dawn, what's up?" She smiled.
"Listen, I need a small favour from you." I said to which she listened keenly. "Look, I'm not the best at school and I promised my mom that I'd do better this year, so I was wondering of you could tutor me." I smiled. She thought about it for a few seconds.
"Oh, well…"
"Oh, please Zoey, please, I really need this. If I don't do better this year, my mom's gonna force me to come out of dance class, and you don't want that to happen, do you?" I asked, begging for her consent. She sighed, knowing she was defeated.
"Oh, alright!" She sighed. I lit up.
"Oh my gosh, thank you, Zoey!" I squealed.
"What subjects do you need help with?" Zoey asked.
"All of 'em." I winked. She chuckled.
"Alright, I'll be there at your place every day around 7-ish." She told me. I smiled.
"Sounds good to me. Thanks again, Zoey."
"No problem."
After classes, I went in my locker only to discover the most beautiful, graceful thing I had ever seen in my life. I gasped as I took it out. It was beautiful bouquet of flowers. Red, yellow, green colours amazed my eyes and fascinated me. I took a deep smell and sighed with content. There was a note on it and I opened it.
From: Your secret admirer. Hope you liked the flowers.
Secret admirer? I hadn't been here for a week and I had a secret admirer? Who could it be? I started to examine the handwriting more carefully to determine who it matches, but I couldn't match it as I had not seen anybody's handwriting as yet, apart from Zoey's. I wonder who it was…
"Oooh, flowers! Who's it from?" May asked. I gasped.
"May, you nearly gave me a heart attack!" I blurted, letting out a breath of relief.
"Hehe, sorry." May sheepishly laughed.
"I dunno. The sender's anonymous." I told her. She chuckled.
"Hmmm, a secret admirer, huh?" May asked, smirking. I widened my eyes.
"Yeah, I wonder who it could be?" I said.
"Maybe it's Ash?" She suggested.
"Please, that's impossible. Ash already has a girlfriend." I rolled my eyes. "And not everything is about Ash, ok?" I said.
"Alright, alright, see you at dance class." May said.
"See ya." I waved.
It was finally time for dance class and I couldn't be more eager to see everyone again. I looked around to see Zoey, May, Barry, Kenny and…Ash. He was with Serena and they seemed to be flirting with each other…as if I cared less. Then I saw Drew and Gary, who were arguing about something ridiculous that made them seem like the centre of attention.
"Alright, class, today is the day to showcase your dancing performances, so step up and show us what you've got." The instructor said and I gasped.
"What does she mean by that?" I asked May.
"Barry was trying to tell you, but you wouldn't listen. He told you to rehearse to get ready for your performance." She said. I was taken aback by her words and I sighed.
"The one time I don't listen to Barry." I said. I wondered what I was going to perform…
"And since we're going in alphabetical order, up first is Dawn Berlitz." The instructor said and I widened my eyes. I did not expect that I would go first. What was I gonna do? I wasn't the slightest bit ready for this and I didn't wanna make a complete fool of myself. I looked at May who was assuring me and then I glanced at Ash, who was smirking at me, as if he knew I couldn't do it. I growled and then I decided that I was going to do this no matter what it takes. I had the courage and determination. I went up to the front of the class.
I closed my eyes, and waited for the music to start.
Make it stop,
Sounds so good, I just can't take no more.
And…finished. Sorry it was short, though. Can anyone guess the song? It's really easy lol.
Hopefully I won't take a month for the next update, although I can't promise anything. So pls review and tell me what you think. :D
See you next time.
