Chapter 6
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Serena stared at the clock which made the repetitive ticking noise. She thought in her head, "Just 30 more seconds…" Tick. Tock. Serena started packed up and was ready to burst out the door.
RIIIIINGGGGGGGG.
The honey haired girl bursted out the door and to her locker. She grabbed her books and power walked out the gates. She saw Ash waiting for her. His back leaned against a tree in the shade while he stared at her. The wind blew in his messy jet black hair.
Serena came up to him and smiled. "Hi."
He stood up and pointed to the road. "Ready to go?" Serena nodded and started to walk. Ash stopped her and let out his hands.
Serena looked at him in confusion. He motioned his head to her books that she was clutching ever so dearly out of anxiety. It gave her a couple seconds to process what he wanted.
He carefully took her heavy textbooks and continued walking ahead. Serena gazed at Ash and blushed for a bit.
"Hey wait up!" Serena called and walked faster to catch up with the boy.
The pair reached the movies. The two looked at the screen and Serena suggested Jurassic World.
Serena pulled out her wallet and started to take out some money but Ash beat her to it and walked up to the cashier. He paid for 2 tickets and turned to Serena and said "My treat."
Serena smiled and said, "Okay then can I at least buy the popcorn?"
Ash laughed. "Ahahaha alright."
They walked inside the dim lighted movie theaters. Serena sat down and Ash sat next to her. Serena put the popcorn in the middle and they started to chow down.
The movie started with some dinosaurs grazing and people entering to watch the show.
As the movie got more intense, Serena started to eat more popcorn. Her eyes were glued to the screen.
The same thing happened to Ash. They soon touched each other's hand while grabbing the popcorn. The two stopped for a second and their hearts started to pound. They quickly withdrew their hands out of the popcorn bag and laughed awkwardly. It was hard to see them blush in the dark but they were.
There was a sudden jump and the dinosaur roared. The movie theaters echoed and Serena screamed. Ash calmed her down and grabbed her hand. Serena froze not only from the dinosaurs but from Ash holding her hand. She started to turn red and blush madly. She turned hot and her heart pounded faster due to adrenaline. Everytime there was a scream or jump, Ash held her hand. Serena smiled and sighed.
Ash is so dreamy and sweet…. Wait…. Am i thinking this right now? Do I have a crush on ASH KETCHUM? But we're just friends...and he just got out of a relationship… Does he like me right now or is he using me as a rebound from Miette? what am I thinking? SNAP OUT OF IT SERENA. Come on girl. Just play cool…. ok who am I kidding why am i lying to myself. I'm so in love with Ash Ketchum…. But I can't just confess to him yet…. Even if he does develop feelings for me… People are gonna talk if we date and they're gonna think that I'm the reason they broke up…
Ash waved his hand in front of Serena's face.
"Hey Serena, you okay?"
"huh? oh yeah. ahah just spacing out that's all hehe.." Serena replied nervously.
The two finished the movie and walked out the dark movie theaters. Serena stretched her arms and exclaimed, "that was a great movie! little scary, but that's okay."
Serena checked her phone and on the screen it flashed 6 pm.
"I have to go home soon. My mom might get worried." Serena said to Ash.
"That's fine. I'll walk you to your house."
Serena sighed and clutched her hand to her heart. I'll give it some time before confessing to him…
Serena got to her house. She turned and waved by to Ash.
"Thanks for treating me out today. I hope you're feeling ok...with the whole Miette thing and stuff…" Serena said shyly.
Ash shrugged. "It's nothing. Don't worry about Miette. If she ever bothers you, just let me know. You gotta have confidence and some spunk. You can do it Serena!" Ash said with a fist pump.
"Thank you Ash…" Serena said.
She opened her front door and looked back one more time. "Goodnight Ash."
"Serena?"
"Yes Ash?"
"Don't forget to smile." Ash said in a cheerful tone.
Serena blushed and smiled before closing the door.
Short chappie! Sorry, i just got back in this series again because YA GIRL FINISHED HER COLLEGE APPLICATIONS :)
enjoy!
Also, I know the Miette x Ash ship looks bad, but we need some type of antagonist in a good story right?
I wasn't focusing on their pair anyways LOL. It's mainly Calem x Serena and Serena x Ash.
