Chapter 5
The next day Serena and Ash walked to school together.
"So Serena, what did you do after I left with Miette yesterday?" Ash asked curiously.
Serena said, "Oh I hung out with Calem for some ice cream. They had genuine ice cream made straight from moo moo milk! It was so tasty."
"Oh how cool! I've always wanted to try it. Maybe next time we can go together." Ash said.
"Oh yeah and I also met your girlfriend after Calem left. She's actually really nice! She gave me a hug and all. I think the whole 'lunch spilling accident' is all behind her now. Maybe you me, Calem and Miette can go hang out one day. The four of us." Serena said cheerfully.
While walking to school, Serena accidentally tripped on a tree root but luckily Ash was there to catch her. Her bag fell and a whole bunch of items fell out.
"Oh darn it!" Serena pouted as she knelt down to pick up her stuff.
Ash bent to help the honey colored hair girl. Then, in the corner of his eye, he saw a glittery sparkly phone.
"Hold on Serena, what is this phone doing in your bag?" Ash asked.
Serena looked up after putting her notebooks in her bag. "Hmm? What? I didn't know that was even in my bag. That's not even my phone? Who's is it?"
"It's Miette's. I tried texting her yesterday but she never answered me. Maybe this is why. Serena, did you steal her phone?" Ash asked.
"What? NO. Why would I? I have my own phone!" Serena exclaimed as she pulled out her phone in defense.
"Judging at how surprised you are, I believe you. Miette is up to no good. She probably put her phone in your bag to accuse you or something." Ash said.
"What should I do Ash? I'm scared. Why is Miette doing this? I thought she wasn't a type to do this…" Serena said sadly.
"I'm as upset as you are. Don't tell anyone, but I was actually planning to break up with her this week. But due to this stupid action of hers, I'll break the news today. I haven't been living a happy and healthy relationship with her anyways. It's time to move on and focus on something more important, like pokemon battling other than relationships." Ash said sternly.
Ash helped Serena up and they continued to walk down the path.
"Don't worry Serena. I believe you. I got your back. Miette's not gonna hurt you anymore." Ash said sweetly.
Serena had a slight tint of blush appear on her cheeks followed with a small smile.
They arrived at school and started class.
Serena opened her books when suddenly, the door burst open.
Miette busted into the room and scanned it. Then our eyes met. She pointed at me and said, "THERE'S YOUR THIEF. SHE'S THE ONE WHO STOLE MY PHONE."
Principal Jenny entered the room and said, "Serena? The new student? Are you sure it's her?"
Miette huffed, "I hung out with her yesterday and apparently, she liked something a little more valuable since she probably couldn't afford it. Why don't you check her purse to see for yourself?" The blue haired girl crossed her arms and gave an evil smirk.
Serena was paralyzed with fear. The principal walked down the aisle and asked, "Miss Serena, would you care to open your bag so I can take a look inside it?"
Serena slowly took out her bag from under her desk and opened it for Principal Jenny to investigate.
It took a while but the principal announced, "False alarm students. Miette's phone is not in Serena's bag so she is not the thief."
Serena sighed.
"WHHHHAT!?" Miette screamed. "How is this possible? I could have swor-" She started to accuse but then Ash stood up in front of the class and pulled out her phone.
"Looking for this Miette?" Ash said.
"But-how did you" Miette asked with a bitter glare.
"Serena would never steal an iphone 5 like yours when she already has the iphone 6. Also, I walked with her today to school and she didn't even know the phone was slid into her purse. The only reason it could have been in her purse in the first place is if someone put it in there on purpose to frame her. You said you two were hanging out yesterday so what's a better explanation than that?" Ash defended in a clear strong voice.
Miette started to stutter and sweat.
"Also, when you're caught lying, you tend to stutter and sweat droplets. Who knows you better than anyone else in this school? Your boyfriend. Actually…. ex. Miette, I'm breaking up with you. I was never happy in this relationship anyways. You should also focus on your pokemon contest performing career. I'm too much of a distraction." Ash announced.
Everyone in the class jawdropped and gasped.
Miette shrieked. "Yo-You're breaking up w-with me?" She stomped her feet. "HmmmPH. THIS ISN'T OVER YOU KNOW." Miette stormed out the room and slammed the door. The room shook a bit and it was dead silent.
Principal Jenny said, "Well….this is a bit of an awkward situation. Sorry for bothering your class. I'll make sure Miette doesn't do this again. Carry on." She said as she bowed and walked out the door.
Once the door closed, every girl in the room turned to Ash Ketchum and asked, "ASH, LET'S HANG OUT TONIGHT." "Ash I have an upcoming party on Saturday, it would mean the world if you attended."
"Ash! Do you wanna go train or something some time? I could use a little help with my pokemon. Maybe you can give me a few pointers."
Girls clamored around Ash as he sweat dropped.
"Sorry girls. I LITERALLY just broke up with Miette like 2 minutes ago. I won't be looking forward in a relationship anytime soon." Ash said putting his hands in defense and leaning back.
The girls sighed and pouted, "AWWWWhhhh" in unison.
Professor Oak announced, "ALRIGHT CLASS, SHALL WE GET BACK TO WORK NOW? Open your textbooks to page 420 and start on tonight's homework."
Serena looked back at Ash and gave him a thumbs up. Serena mouthed, "You did great today Ash."
Ash smiled back and started to work on his homework.
Calem whispered to me, "Serena are you okay?" She turned to Calem and touched his hand with a kind smile. "Never better Calem."
1st period ended and Ash, Serena and Calem walked to class together. Calem walked into Birch's class while Serena and Ash entered Brock's.
Ash sat down next to Serena and opened his book to start reading the chapter.
It was study down time and Serena quickly ripped out a scratch piece of paper and wrote in the neatest handwriting she could do in the time that Ash wasn't watching.
Hey Ash! You free to hang out today after school?
-Serena.
Serena initialed it and folded the paper. She then nudged it to Ash's arm and quickly went back to do her homework.
In the corner of her eye, she saw him open it and scribble back. He low key folded it and slid it on Serena's desk. She gave it 10 seconds before looking at the paper to make it seem like she wasn't desperate or anything. Serena opened it and in legible handwriting, Ash wrote:
Sure! We can go to the movies or something. Also, this Saturday, there's an upcoming fair, we can go to that too. Now that I'm out of a relationship, I have so much free time. I'm already loving it.
Serena giggled to herself as she read the note.
She folded the scrap and put it into her pocket. The honey blonde girl smiled and continued doing her work.
Class ended and now Serena had a class with Calem without Ash. Calem texted Serena, "Hey you busy after school?"
Serena felt a buzz and opened her phone. She saw the text and quickly replied, "Sorry Calem not today! I'm hanging out with Ash today! Maybe another time :)"
"Alright have fun you two ;)" Calem replied.
Serena turned red and typed back in caps, "WHY THE WINKY FACE"
"Because oooh lala you totally like him" Calem teased.
"SHHHHHUSH YOU." Serena huffed and she threw down her phone.
In her peripheral, she saw Calem giggling like a dork which made her also smile a little.
It was lunchtime and Misty, Dawn, May and Iris were sitting at a table next to the Elite 4 Table.
Serena walked to the girl table and sat down. May immediately whispered in a low but excited voice, "So I heard Ash dumped Miette right in front of the class during 1st period, is it true?"
I nodded.
Misty said, "oh my gosh, Ash Ketchum is so dreamy~~"
"Too bad he's Serena's guy now~~" Dawn teased. I started to blush and turn red.
"See? She's blushing already." Iris added.
"Guys, I do NOT have a crush on Ash Ketchum." Serena defended. "At least not yet." I quickly added.
The girls at the table squealed in excitement. "You two would be the CUTEST couple in all of Kanto. Honestly." Misty said.
