Hey guys, Jeff here!

Well, as promised, this is the 3rd chapter of this week out of the 3, so I have attained my promise and completed it. Hopefully, if I have more spare time, I could write more chapters for you guys even though I don't need to catch up ;D

Anyway, just to say, if you found this chapter kind of boring, then I'm sorry. This chapter is just like a filler, but hopefully you'll still find it interesting to read, since I put some moments there xD

Without further ado, let's get to reading...


It was now morning. The sun was up once again beyond the horizon and cannot wait to be greeted by everyone as they all head out to wherever they were going. The summer breeze rushing through the fields, seen by everyone as the greenery swayed by as the breeze dragged itself along the leaves and branches. Everything was peaceful as to where as Ash and Serena were right now. Interestingly, both of them were actually still fast asleep, but when their mothers wake them up, they will both be ready to go to school – especially Ash, since he cannot afford to be late once again, because today he was supposedly going to accompany Serena and it would be rude to her if he was late and made her wait.

It doesn't take really long for the two of them to really do their morning routine. I mean, both of them does kind of similar routines, but in just different manners. Ash tends to do his morning routines in a rushed manner, like someone or something is chasing after him, like how he is always in such a panic; but then at least he gets everything done, which counts he guesses. On the other hand, Serena is the complete opposite to how Ash acts. Serena likes to take everything into her own hands, how she just takes her time doing her morning routine that is. I mean, she is not really in a rush or anything like that, but interestingly, she still gets everything done on time, so at least that's one thing less to worry.

Give or take about twenty minutes passed, both Ash and Serena got out of the house as they both finished their morning routines. After saying their goodbyes to their mothers as they exited their front door, Ash then dashed across to meet Serena just next door, as they were going to walk with one another. Interestingly, Ash and Serena seemed pretty happy this morning, like how they are not really showing signs of what happened between them last night. To be honest, who can really blame them if they tried to forget what happened, but then again, it's entirely impossible that they both forgotten what happened completely, how it might still be in the back of their minds, bothering them with this dark thought…

Ash smiled as he dashed across. "Hey! Serena!"

Serena looked at Ash, seeing him make a quick dash to her. "Oh, good morning, Ash!"

Ash smiled. "I see you're doing fine today. You seem very cheerful and happy as ever."

Serena blushed. "Well, you seem as energetic as always, so you can't argue about that."

"Oh, what's this? Do I sense a bit of a spark?" Grace teased as she was about to close their front door.

Ash scratched his head. "Huh? What does she mean by that? Serena, did you know what she meant when she said that?"

Grace laughed. "Of course she does, isn't that right, Serena~"

Serena blushed madly. "Mom! Stop! It's not like that!"

"Hey, Serena, you okay? You may have a fever, since your face is red~" Ash commented.

Serena blushed even more. "No! This is nothing!"

"Okay. If you say so…" Ash added.

Grace laughed. "Have a nice time with Ash, all right Serena?"

Serena pouted. "And what does that supposed to mean?"

"Oh, nothing." Grace replied without hesitation before closing the door before you can even say goodbye to her, probably because she was just scared of what Serena might say after her teasing, which kind of caused a bit of a scene.

Serena sighed. "Right, let's get going then."

"All right, but firstly, what was that about? Care to tell me?" Ash asked politely.

Serena sighed. "Look, let's just forget what happened, all right?"

Ash nodded. "Okay then."

Serena sighed. "Also, speaking of forgetting what happened where, don't tell anyone about last night… you know with that guy…"

Ash nodded. "Of course I won't, Serena. Also, you got me on your side, so it's all good."

Serena smiled. "I'm glad to hear those reassuring words from you, Ash."

At that point, both of them then went on and started to walk at the same path that they walked just yesterday, when they were going home. This was also when and where they met someone who especially knows about the two of them. Thinking about it, Serena made a wise decision over what happened yesterday. I mean, if they mentioned this to the rest of the gang back in school, some of them might panic, some of them might go all out and do something reckless, or maybe some might just not do anything, and we know who that person might be. Anyhow, Serena is right saying that they should forget about what happened, since they are both confident that it wouldn't happen again, if the case may be; however there is still this thought that this clouding their minds about the worst case scenario, the 'what-if'…

As they continued to walk to school, they finally reached the town, which meant that there is only at least a few minutes more of walking until they reached the school. On the way, they were just getting along just fine, which actually surprised Ash a bit. They were just doing the usual things that normal friends do, talk with one another, chatting about random stuff and that kind of thing. It was unusually surprising for Ash how he was getting along with Serena and the same goes for the other side. Knowing about Serena's past, Ash was kind of worried about Serena not opening up to anyone and not making friends, but now, that impression that he has is changing in some way. There is some sort of trust between them, since he has become her guide, but also they are turning out to be great friends, or maybe probably even more?

Ash blushed a bit and shook his head. He doesn't really know what is wrong with him, what and why he is thinking about these kinds of things. It is not really the time or the place for him to actually be thinking about this, nor is it the subject that he should really be thinking about. Also, he doesn't really know anything about that kind of thing and he knows that he is very dense too, so there is really no hope for him; however, if Serena has something to say on this matter, she probably have something very important to say to him, but I think that she is just going to save it for another time.

Continuing on into the centre of the town, it was the normal scene that Serena saw just yesterday, where interestingly, she actually got lost since she kind of panicked and also she didn't have her tablet handy as there wasn't charge on it. Luckily when she was in a massive state of panic, she met Lyra, which remembers as it happened yesterday and probably changed her life in a way. I mean, without her, Serena wouldn't have met everyone else and also wouldn't have met Ash too, so she is glad that it happened, which begs the question that someone is running towards them now…

"Hey, Ash! Serena! Wait for me!" Lyra yelled, grabbing Ash and Serena's attention.

Ash turned around. "Oh, hey Lyra! Fancy seeing you here this morning."

Serena smiled. "Good morning, Lyra."

Lyra laughed as she was catching her breath from catching up to Ash and Serena. "I should be the one saying that to you, Ash. How come you're early today?"

Ash shrugged. "Well… I-I… I kinda…I wanted to be early~"

"I think something's up here…" Lyra teased. "How come you're waking with Serena, out of all the people? Very interesting…"

Serena blushed. "It's not like that!"

Ash nodded. "True. You're getting the wrong idea here."

Lyra grinned. "What are you two up to then? If it's not what I think is happening, then what is?"

Ash sighed. "Since I am her guide, I guess you could say that I should accompany her to school. Also, as I have found out yesterday, we are apparently neighbours, so that's kind of convenient."

Lyra nodded with a smile. "I see… I'm starting to get the picture. So, that's why Ash is up early, because Serena wakes him up~"

Ash sighed. "Lyra, just stop teasing already. It's not like we live in the same house or anything like that, so just drop the idea."

Serena blushed. "Yeah, it's not like we are related or anything like that."

Lyra laughed. "Oh, really… because in fact, Serena said that Ash~"

Serena covered Lyra's mouth before she could say anymore. "Nah, what are you talking about, Lyra? I didn't say anything."

Ash scratched his head. "Huh? What about me?"

Lyra chuckled. "Don't worry Ash; you're too dense to know anyway."

Ash sighed. "If you say so…"

Serena sighed. "Well, with that settled, let's head to school now."

As everyone agreed with Serena's proposed idea, the three friends then heads to the school, where probably the others were waiting for them at the same place they had all met yesterday, basically where everything began for Serena, especially when she then met Ash, but also everyone else for that matter. To be honest with herself, she is kind of feeling a bit nostalgic, probably because she was walking at the same path yesterday with Lyra, but now with the addition of Ash in the party, it feels a bit more different, how it is a bit more awkward, but not in the weird way.

Why wouldn't feel awkward? To be honest, Lyra started to talk about the possibilities of what is between Ash and Serena, and I wouldn't really blame them for being a bit nervous in some places. If that situation was done to someone else, they would probably undertake what Ash and Serena are feeling at this very moment, but then again, they shouldn't really act like this. They should at least take a little bit of teasing, since there isn't really anything going between them, or is there that begs the question…

After some walking for a few minutes, they then finally reached the school premises indicated by them arriving at the gate of the school. Once they are there, they walked across the courtyard to meet with everyone else by the entrance of the main building. Interestingly, all of their faces looked kind of shocked, especially Paul and Gary, probably because Ash has actually turned up on time, or maybe because Ash is walking with Serena and they might then be getting the wrong impression, even though Lyra is beside them, but she is looking like she is not involved with them, which makes the situation much worse for Ash and Serena.

Serena sighed. She was kind of relieved to see that the pressure is off of her. More to the point, it's basically now how she is able to walk across the courtyard without actually anyone staring right back at her, because if she remembers correctly, she was kind of being stared out by everyone when she passed, because no one really recognised her, but now, even though it is her second day, no one's really paying attention to her, which relieved Serena quite a bit.

Ash smiled. "Hey Serena, looking forward to your second day here?"

Serena nodded in agreement. "Of course I am! I mean, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone again, but also I'm looking forward to what we're doing today."

Ash smiled. "All right then, let's meet everyone."

'Wow, she is really getting along with everyone fine. Hopefully she forgets her past this way.' Ash thought with a sigh of relief.

'With everyone here, I can then move on from my past, so that's why I want to start the second day!' Serena thought.
