Chapter 4
POV: Serena
I woke up to the sound of laughter coming from downstairs. I quickly skittered down and saw my mom and Ash laughing. Ash was eating pancakes and drinking orange juice.
"Mom? Ash?" I said in a confused tone.
"Oh good morning Serena. I was making breakfast for you when this nice boy knocked on the door. He said he will walk with you to school." Mom said.
Ash chimed in, "yeah I'm actually her neighbor. We wanted to welcome you for moving in and have a little party but we never found the right time to ask." He gulped down his juice.
"Oh no it's totally fine, we don't need a party." I stammered. I didn't want Ash to go through the trouble to prepare a party for us.
"Then you and Ash can go and hang out sometime after school or maybe even tomorrow. It's Saturday tomorrow. Maybe watch a movie or something. Serena is still new in this Region after all." My mom pitched in.
I turned slightly pink. "oooohkaay im gonna go get ready so we can go to school now." I said. I ran back upstairs to get washed up.
10 minutes later…
I tied my shoes and took my backpack and walked down the stairs. I grabbed a piece of toast and a water bottle and said, "come on Ash, let's go to school."
Ash got up and thanked my mom for the meal. I walked out the door and Ash bowed and said goodbye. "I'll take care of Serena Mrs. Johanna really well!" He said as he followed me.
"I really hope you do Ash Ketchum…" my mom said to herself.
Walking to school….
"That was SOOOO embarrassing Ash Ketchum. You don't even know." I said.
"Your mom is pretty chill." Ash said. I scoffed. "My mom? chill? SHE LIKES TO EMBARRASS ME SO MUCH."
"No it's fine. really. I really like your mom." Ash said.
I sighed. Now nothing will stop Ash from visiting.
On the way, we saw Calem.
"Calem!" I called out and waved. He turned and smiled a little. He waved back and stopped walking so we could catch up.
"Hey Calem. Wanna walk with us to school?" I asked.
Calem and Ash fist bumped. "Sup bruh."
Calem nodded. "Sure, if its alright with you." I nodded and we continued walking.
Ash asked us, "Did you study for Oak's test? Clemont told me it's gonna be easy. But then again, it's Clemont."
We both nodded. I said, "Yeah I studied at the library with Calem yesterday. He really taught me a lot about understanding pokemon types, such as which ones are supereffective and not really effective."
Calem said, "I think we all have Oak and Rowan together. But I know you two have Brock while I have Birch and I know that Serena and I have Juniper while Ash has Sycamore. So technically we're all in about the same classes."
"We should all study together! Just the 3 of us!" I said.
Ash winced. "mmmm im not sure if Miette would like that. She usually drags me on her shopping dates."
"Oh how fun!" I said cheerfully. Ash shook his head. "Grocery..shopping dates. She tells me which type of sugar she should use or what color cabbage is better. It gets so boring. I'd rather train or battle Pokemon or something you know?" Ash complained.
"Ah… I see…" I said. Talking about Miette sort of lowered the mood.
We finally arrived at school. Ash and Calem said, "Hey Serena, you should go meet our friends. They're really nice." I said shyly, "ookay.."
I went to the group containing the other two Elite 4 members.
I was walking next to Calem and Ash was next to Calem.
Gary called out, "Woah check out the babe Calem brought!" He whistled. I blushed and hid my face in my hair.
"According to my statistics, her name is Serena. She just recently moved in here from the Kalos Region. She has long honey brown hair and her favorite color is pink. Class is to be announced soon. Hmmm I wonder if she's gonna be a Class A, B, or C."
Gary said, "I think she's gonna be a class D. Her mom was the famous Rhyhorn racer."
I walked up to the table. "Hi, my name is Serena nice to meet you." I gave out my hand and Gary immediately kissed it.
"Gary's the name. Battling is my game. Also Professor Oak's grandson. Don't mean to brag or anything.." Gary boasted. Serena blushed and giggled.
Calem looked a little bitter and Ash shoved Gary away. "Go away you creep." Ash joked.
Clemont shook hands with Serena. "My name is Clemont. There's really nothing special about me."
I shook my head. "I heard you're like, the smartest kid in this school. Like how totally awesome. It must be so nice to be naturally smart."
"Ohhh i mean i guess..I can always help you study if you like." Clemont said.
"That'd be wonderful thanks Clemont!" I said.
From afar, Miette was glaring at Serena. "Isn't that the new girl flirting with the Elite 4?" A girl said.
"Isn't that the girl who spilled food on you Miette?" Another girl added.
"That skanky whore is gonna be transferring out of class when I'm done with her." Miette scowled through her teeth.
The bell rang and we all headed to class.
I entered Professor Oak's room and sat down next to Calem. Ash sat behind us.
Professor Oak said, "Okay class we have a Chapter test today. Please put away everything but a pencil and eraser.
Oak passed out the paperwork and i wrote my name on it. I turned the page and read the first problem.
True or False: Water Type is supereffective against Fire type.
This was totally easy for me. I remembered Calem talking about this. I marked True. I zoomed through the test in just a couple of minutes. I double checked my work and Oak said, "TIME's up everyone. Please pass the tests up."
I slammed my pencil down and stretched. "Oooh boy I got this A in the baagggg~~" I sang.
I turned to Calem. "How'd you do?" He gave me a smile and a thumbs up. "Good thing we studied yesterday right?" He said. I high fived him and said "Couldn't have done it without you." Calem blushed.
We walked out to our next class and Ash put his arms around me and Calem. "That test was a breeze. Did you get that extra credit point? The one about about the eeveelutions?"
I said, "yeah I wrote 8! Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Sylveon, Glaceon, Espeon." Calem patted my head. "Good Job Serena."
"After school, wanna grab a bite to eat somewhere?" Calem asked. "Okay!" I said happily.
Ash whined. "awwwwwh maaan i wanna go!"
We pouted. "I'm sorry Ash… maybe next time if you talk to Miette about it!" I said.
"That girl won't let me do ANYTHING but train or study." Ash facepalmed.
"Ohhh ASSSHHYYYY POOOOO~~" a voice called out. Ash looked. "Oh speak of the devil…"
She came up to us and grabbed Ash's hand. "babe can you walk me to class hmmm hmmm hmm?" She pouted and gave a puppy face.
Ash said, "But Serena and I have the same class and Calem is right next door and your class is across the school campus…."
Miette whined and threw a mini tantrum. "Fine. Be that way. I guess you don't love me after all. hmmph." Ash groaned and looked at me. I winced but motioned him to go on with her.
He said, "Fine…." He let Miette drag him down the hall by the hand.
I turned to Calem and said, "Wow… is he WHIPPED…."
Calem joked and made a whipping sound. We both laughed as we walked to class together.
After school Calem and I walked to an ice cream shop. I chose strawberry and Calem chose blueberry.
His tongue started to get blue and I said, "omg Calem your tongue is blue" I laughed. He stuck out his tongue at me even more.
It was getting late and Calem's mom called him again to go home. I laughed and said, "It's okay, this time, I have Fennekin with me. She can protect me." Calem said, "One day, I will DEFINITELY walk you home. I promise." He took out his Altaria and waved by as he flew home.
I got up to walk home. On the way, I bumped into someone. "Oh I'm sorry." I bowed.
I looked up and saw Miette. "Oh hi Miette." I said politely.
She stopped me from walking. "Hey. I know we kind of got off on the wrong foot. So… let's just be friends?" Miette gave out her hand. I smiled and shook it. "Hi Miette, I'm Serena. Nice to meet you."
We sat down on a bench and started to make a conversation.
Then, Miette said, "Serena, do you see that vending machine over there? Do you mind getting me a water bottle?" She gave me money to use.
"Okay! I'll be right back." I said.
POV: 3rd person
Miette watched Serena walk to the vending machines. Then, she took out her phone and snuck it into Serena's purse.
Serena came back with the water bottle and change. "Here you go Miette."
"Thanks. And im sorry Serena, it's 6 and I should be getting home for dinner. I'll see you at school tomorrow." Miette got up to hug Serena and she left.
Then, when she turned her back, she had a sinister look on her face.
ahhh yes. drama time.
