Hello everyone, I'm back. I had planned to update a long time ago but things (schoolwork) got in the way…again. -_-

Anyways before I go on and complain that school is a **** let's start the next chapter!

Enjoy! :D

"Dawn?" He said, prying into my eyes hoping for an answer.

I just looked at him, eyed widened. I didn't know what to say or how to react. All I could say was that I was shocked. Although I shouldn't be because I was already aware of Kenny's feelings for me.

Noticing that I didn't have an answer yet, he continued, "Dawn, I really like you. I know you probably don't like me either but just give me a chance. I'll be the best boyfriend you ever had. Just go out with me." His eyes pierced into mines with a hint of mercy.

"Kenny…I-I don't know." I stammered. Kenny sighed.

"At least you can think about it. Please?" He begged again.

I sighed, "I guess I can do that. I'll let you know about my answer tomorrow." I said as I smiled.

"Really?" He exclaimed, "Wow thanks, Dawn! You won't regret this." Kenny smiled as he quickly hugged me and quickly let go, running off to the other direction.

"Wow," I muttered. I was just taken aback a little.

Suddenly May came up to me with various snacks and drinks with her. My eyes widened, "May, how can we eat all of that?" I looked at her astoundingly.

"Oh this? This is for me. I'll grab your snacks after I set this down." May said as she put the snacks down. I sweat-dropped.

"No need…I'm not hungry." I said, laughing sheepishly.

"Really? But it's going to be a two hour movie." She said, reminding me.

"I know but I just don't feel like eating that much. I have other stuff on my mind…" I said as I drifted off into thought. However it seemed that May didn't heed much attention about what I indirectly meant as she just shrugged and carried the snacks and drinks, wiggling her legs as we entered the movie theatre.

We took the front row seats and sat down, eagerly waiting for the movie to start. As the movie started, I couldn't help but to drift into thought about my decision about Kenny. I wondered if I should go out with him. He seemed like a nice guy…maybe a little bit desperate but a nice guy nevertheless. He also seemed trustworthy and seemed like the ideal boyfriend I could have.

This was all happening too fast for me. I've never even had a boyfriend before. Of course, I didn't ignore all the attention I would get from some males a few years back but it never meant that I had any interest in boys. I would say that a certain boy looks cute or hot but to get into a romantic relationship would be crossing another road for me. My only interests were friends, hanging out and dancing especially. The thought of having a boyfriend hadn't struck my mind even once.

I was at crossroads. I needed advice. Should I tell May about this? She seemed like the kind of girl that would give me good advice when I needed it. But wait, has she ever been in a relationship before?

"Dawn! DAWN!"

"Huh!? Wha?" I exclaimed, suddenly out of my thought process.

"It's intermission! Let's go! Where were you lost?" May said, snapping a finger in front of my eyes.

"Oh…" Dang, was I thinking through half of the movie? "Heheh, I was just…lost about the movie..it's…so fascinating…" I didn't feel the need to tell May about Kenny just yet. I would tell when the time was right.

"Hmm…" She added suspiciously, "Well okay, come on I need to use the bathroom, that pepsi really got to me." She said as she made a hilarious face of holding her urine. I giggled as we got out and she hurried to the bathroom.

While May was in the bathroom, I was constantly wondering whether I should reveal it to her or not. Soon enough, she came out with a relieved expression planted on her face.

"Whoo!" She exclaimed as she came up to me. "Glad that's over…" I giggled as I rolled my eyes.

Then May began talking about the movie and I was listening while at the same time I was drifting into thought, so I could barely keep track of what May was saying.

"Don't you think that guy was so hot?" May squealed.

Nod.

"And don't you think he's such a sweetheart?"

Nod.

"And Dawn is a total maniac, right?"

Nod.

…Wait, what? "HUH?!" I suddenly arrived into the real world.

"I knew you weren't listening to me!" May said as she stomped her foot. Well, I guess I was caught after all.

"Dawn, what's going on? You've been lost in thought all day. Throughout the movie and right now when I was talking to you. What's up? What are you thinking about that's so important?" I sighed. I felt terrible for not telling her about Kenny before. I was a bad friend.

I guess I had no choice but to reveal it now, "Okay," I sighed, "I'm sorry, May. Really sorry. I just didn't know whether and when I should tell you but I might as well right now."

May crossed her arms impatiently while cocking her head a little, "Well, I'm waiting. And you better make it quick, the rest of the movie's gonna start soon and I don't wanna miss a thing."

I said without any hesitation, "Kenny asked me out earlier."

May's jaw dropped, "What." It was more of a statement than a question. I hadn't expected that reaction from her. Then all of a sudden, that shocked expression in her blue eyes changed into one of glee, "No way! That's awesome!" She squealed.

I covered my ears, "Not so loud!"

"Sorry," She sheepishly said. "But I'm-I'm really happy for you Dawn. This is amazing. I told you he likes you! I told you!" I somehow knew she was gonna tell me that.

"Slow your roll sister. I haven't said my answer yet." I said in a calming tone.

"Well what are you waiting for? Do it." May said. She didn't realize that it wasn't easy for me.

"May, I told you before that I don't like him." I said with my hands on my hips.

"So? Give him a chance. He might actually woo you."

"You think?"

"Yeah, he seems like a very sweet guy. Also trustworthy and really friendly. I'm sure you two would make a great pair." May suggested while winking.

I scratched my chin a little, thinking while doing it, "Hmm…well…if you think so, then I guess I could give him a chance."

May immediately smiled, "That's great Dawn! And don't worry, if he ever and I mean ever breaks your heart, I will not hesitate to beat him into pulps, throw him in the blender and then throw him into the Atlantic Ocean!" May's aggressive manner sure surprised me but I loved it.

I giggled, "Thanks May."

"No probs!"

The next day at school arrived and the first thing I planned on doing is telling Kenny my answer. Fortunately, I saw him at the lockers trying to unlock it and looking frustrated.

"Hey Kenny." I sang like a bird but he just flinched a little and turned around abruptly.

"Ah-hey Dawn….uhh…sup?" He crossed his arms as if he was cool but I could tell he was nervous enough to wet his pants.

"Well…I thought about what you asked me and well…" I hesitated.

"Yeah?"

"I decided that.."

"Yes, go on!" He said impatiently.

"My answer is yes." I smiled.

That moment right there was the most hilarious and wacky scene that I would never forget. As soon as he heard that one word, he started jumping around and pumping his fist into the year as if he had just won an award. I thought it was over, but my eyes widened when he started yelling to random people about how 'he's the happiest boy alive.' And finally, when he became calm, he maintained himself and walked back to where I was, stifling back my laughter.

He cleared his throat a little, "Sorry you had to see that." He was now starting to be a little embarrassed.

I giggled a bit too loud, "No worries. That's something I'm not going to forget for a while now."

Surprisingly, he chuckled and scratched the back of his head, "Yeah. By the way, I'm really happy you said yes. Thank you and I promise that I won't make you regret it."

I smiled, "I have no doubt. So when is the date?"

"Uhh," Kenny thought, "How about Friday?"

"Friday it is then!" I exclaimed.

"Great!" He smiled awkwardly.

"…Yeah…great…" I smiled sheepishly.

"Coooll…" He said while stretching it a bit.

"Coolll." I did the same.

"Well okay then…seeya." I said and quickly turned around, avoiding eye contact with Kenny.

Jeez, talk about awkward…

I nervously opened my locker and grabbed my books and turned around to have a heart attack, leaving me to drop my textbooks.

"AHHHHH!" The scream was then muffled with a hand to my mouth.

"Would you stop screaming, gosh you're acting like I'm gonna rape you." Ash said. I mumbled something but he couldn't hear.

"What?" He asked, listening closely. Then he realized he still had his hand covered on my mouth.

I sighed, "What do you want?"

"I was just wondering if we're still on for tonight…" He smirked but I was too naïve to notice.

"Yeah we are-wait! Why are you smirking?" I put my hands on my hips and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh no reason…" He said as he continued smirking. I gulped.

I suddenly felt my heart beating so fast that I could barely move. It was that same time I was reminded of that dream I had with Ash yesterday. And now, I don't know why, but this guy made me nervous and now caused butterflies in my stomach. It didn't make sense! I despised this guy from the first day I met him! He was the biggest pervert and player but yet I had the hots for him. And Kenny…he's the most sweetest guy ever but all we could do so far is engage in really awkward conversations.

But wait, that dream doesn't mean anything. No, it was not a dream. Dreams come true. That was a nightmare. A nightmare that I wouldn't ever want to come to reality. And most of all, one that should never be revealed in the slightest to Ash Ketchum.

"See you tonight then. Wear something pretty." He winked and then walked away while I made a face of disgust.

Then the bell commenced for classes to start. I picked up my textbooks and walked into my first class. What I saw next totally shocked me. My eyes had just witnessed Drew kissing May on the check while she giggled.

"Woah, woah!" I exclaimed and then May and Drew gasped, reformed themselves and acted natural as if nothing happened.

"Hey Dawn, wassup?" She spat out to avoid any questions.

"I saw what happened here…" I smirked.

"No! Nothing happened! Nothing at all! Right Drew?" She looked at Drew with 'the eyes'

"Uhh-Yeah! We're just being a couple of normal students and talking to each other and stuff…"

"Uh huh yeah suuureee." I added sarcastically. I was so not going to let this topic go.

But I let it slip for now. The teacher had arrived and she had begun her lesson on more algebra in Math and the first time ever, I never had the urge to sleep and lie on my desk. I was actually paying attention in class. I surprise myself sometimes.

However, when the teacher assigned us some problems to do, I began to drift into thought again. I actually couldn't wait for the date on Friday. I wanted to see what Kenny's plan was to woo me. I just hoped nothing would go wrong.

Okay, not bad for this chapter right? I'm glad you agree. ^_^

Yeah right, maybe nobody agrees because Dawn's going out with Kenny! *gasp*

No worries though, I'll make sure that Pearlshipping stays at the end as always.

Thank you for your time and please review. See you next time!
