The next morning
Dawn walks out of her room, wearing her uniform as usual, surprised that Misty refused to get up. She stole one of her skirts by the way, since a certain someone ripped hers. But anyways, she walks out of the dorm to see that there's no one. She gets really confused because usually the place is flooded with people. She then spots someone.
"Hey!" She shouts at him.
Paul turns around and looks at her strangely, "What the fuck are you wearing?" He grunts, raising his eyebrows at her in amusement.
Dawn narrows her eyes at him, and scoffs. "Okay what the hell do people want from me, people are all like 'wear the uniform' and when I do wear it you ask me what I'm wearing? UGH make up your damn minds." She sighed in annoyance.
Paul rolled his eyes, "Idiot. It's Saturday."
Dawn's eyes widened, "WHAT."
Paul rolled his eyes again, "Now you know troublesome girl." He grunts, and starts to turn and walk away.
Dawn frowns not wanting him to leave. "Wait, this isn't the way this conversation is supposed to go! You're supposed to hit on me and be an asshole, while I bash on you."
Paul scoffs, "Well, sorry for not being in the mood to tick you off." He mocks sarcastically, and turns to start walking away again.
"Wait!" She calls out to him again, "We are allowed to go out right?"
Paul doesn't turn around this time, but you could just tell he was annoyed. "No, we're just supposed to stay in this prison until we die." He spoke, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Dawn growls at him, "Jerk!"
Paul waves his hand, and continues walking away.
Later that day
Misty kisses Ash's cheek and sits next to him at the lunch table, it isn't lunch time but they're just sitting outside. "Hey babe."
Ash grins at her, "Hmm, babe. I like the sound of that." He says while chuckling.
She giggles, "What are you doing?" She asks him.
Ash laughs, "Obviously just sitting here."
Misty rolls her eyes, and smiles sheepishly at him. "Oh, right. Sorry."
Ash's grin grew wider and he scoots closer to her and cups her face and kisses her chastely. "You're too cute." He pauses and thinks of an idea, "Hey, wanna go downtown to get a drink or something?" He wraps his arm around her shoulder with a grin still on his face.
"Yeah, sure. But can we bring Dawn along? She really wants to get out of here, even if it's just for a few hours." She looks at him with pleading eyes.
Ash sighs softly before answering, "Alright. But only if Paul comes along as well. They'll keep arguing that they won't even notice us gone when we're there." He smirks at his plan, knowing the reaction of it all will be hilarious.
She giggles, "You planning on setting them up, aren't you?" She asks, already knowing what was going through his mind.
He was about to respond with a remark when all of a sudden Paul plops down on the table with a grunt.
He smirks at the two of them, and glances at Misty. "Hn. Heard you too did the dirty last night." He scowls amusedly.
Ash glares at him impatiently, "Oh, like you and Dawn did?"
Paul shrugs his shoulders, "I'm not ashamed to talk about it, want to know the details?" He grunts.
Ash rolls his eyes, "Cause you're shameless." He remarks dryly.
Paul narrows his eyes at Ash, glaring at him until Ash finally broke eye contact, not wanting to get punched today.
Misty glances back and forth between the two roommates/best friends. She raises her eyebrows, "Wow. I'm really feeling the love between you two." She states dryly.
Paul rolls his eyes, "Didn't know you were smart enough for sarcasm." He states rudely.
Misty narrows her eyes at him, "Anyways, Ash and I are going downtown later, you wanna come?"
Paul gives them a disgusted look, "With you two? Who are probably going to be making out all day? And acting all lovey dovey? Gee, no thanks." He mocked.
Ash tightens his grip on Misty, and smirks at his roommate, "Dawn's coming." He waggles his eyebrows up and down at him.
Paul smirks back, "When are we leaving?"
Misty starts cracking up, laughing, "Just to make sure, you do realize that she practically hates you right?" She asks him, slightly curious about this whole situation.
Paul's smirk grew bigger, if possible. "That's what makes it fun." He sneers.
Misty shakes her head, still laughing. "Now I can see why she does."
Ash sees something behind Paul and chuckles a bit amused. He glances back at Paul, "Hey, Paul. It looks like another guy is planning on stealing your woman."
Paul looks at Ash in confusion and frowns, and sees Barry trying to kiss Dawn while she's trying to get out of his grasp, he snarls pissed off, and suddenly starts seeing red. "Excuse me" He growls, getting up and walks over to them.
"Oi Barry." He snapped angrily.
Barry has his arms locked around Dawn's waist tightly, he glances at Paul with a glare, "What?"
He snarls at him, and grabs his shirt and punches him in the stomach so hard that he flew a couple of feet backwards. "Don't go taking what's mine, if you know what's good for you." He grunts, furiously. He glares at Dawn, who was shocked at his anger. He grabs her wrist tightly and drags her away, "Come on troublesome." He snaps irritably.
Dawn shakes off the shock, and rips her hand out of his grip, "Why'd you do that?" She snapped angrily at him.
Paul scoffs at her angry look, and narrows his eyes at her, crossing his arms over his chest, "You're angry at me? Can't you say you're welcome like a normal person?" He sneers at her, still riled up from being jealous, and angry.
Dawn rolls her eyes, "I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, asshole."
Paul snarls, "Well, it didn't look like you were doing a good job." He grunts sharply.
She huffs to herself, and walks away to sit at the table where Misty and Ash were, they were watching the whole thing, with pure entertainment.
Paul clenches his fist, still pissed off and wanting to beat the shit out of someone, He growls and walks away in a bad mood.
Misty gives her a look, "Why didn't you just thank him?" She asks her roommate.
Dawn sighs to herself, covering her face with her hands, "Because it'd be like surrendering myself to him. Ugh, whatever." She complains.
Misty sighs, frowning at her. But decides to change the subject, "We're going downtown. Want to come?" She asks.
Dawn uncovers her face and gave her an incredulous look, "Do you even have to ask?" She squealed, excited to get the hell out of this place, even if it's just for a couple of hours.
Misty raises her eyebrows at her, and laughs, "Okay, we'll probably leave at 3."
Dawn nods her head, agreeing.
Later
Misty groans impatiently, waiting for Dawn with Ash and Paul. "Where is that girl?" She whines.
Paul smirks, "Misty, Misty, Misty." He puts an arm around her shoulder, "Looks like hers, don't just happen." He states, and looks down at her, "I mean you wouldn't know." He comments rudely. But in a sort of joking manner, no one really knows anymore with him.
She growls at him, "Jackass, where's my mallet!" She hits his arm off of her.
Paul chuckles, amused, avoiding her hits by hiding behind Ash.
Ash complains, when Misty hits him trying to get to Paul. "Hey! Ow! St—stop Hey!" He grabs Misty's arms, He glares at Paul, holding back his girlfriend.
Paul frowns at him, raising his hands in surrender.
Ash groans, "Can you not be a dick, just for once in your life?" He sneers with anger.
Dawn comes running, "Sorry, I'm la—" and looks at all them in confusion, "Did I miss something, why do you all look like in a bad mood?" She then glances at Paul. "I take back my question, now seeing the answer." She rolls her eyes and adds on, "What is he even doing here anyways?" She sneers at the couple.
Paul smirks, "Obviously, I'm coming idiot." He sneers down at her amused.
Dawn scoffs, still glaring at him, "Weren't you mad at me a couple of hours ago? I swear, you really are bipolar." She taunts.
Paul growls thinking of the incident, and steps closer towards her, leaning down, "I can never stay mad at you." He says smugly.
She blushes at the proximity, and pushes him away from her, trying to play it off, "Get away from me!" She screeches at him.
He chuckles at her in amusement.
"You are such a jerk, plum head!" She yells furiously at him.
Before Paul was about to reply, most likely another snarky remark. Ash cut in.
"Alright alright, if you two are done, we'd like to go before curfew." He spoke interrupting the chaos.
Paul smirks down at Dawn, while she was clenching her fist eyes glaring at Paul, trying to murder him with them.
They walk to the bus stop.
Misty was just about to step on the bus, when Dawn sneers in disgust.
"Wait! Wait, were getting on that thing?" She points at it, her eyes filled with repulsion.
Misty sighs, afraid something like this would probably happen, she turns to face Dawn. "What? You're too prestigious to take the public bus?"
Dawn scoffs, and crosses her arms over her chest. "It's filled with filthy disgusting people." She complains, dramatically.
"Yeah, make sure you say that on the bus." She comments cynically, before stepping on the bus with Ash following her.
Paul steps forward, about to walk on and turns around giving her look, "Really, troublesome? Aren't you coming?" He grumbles to her.
Dawn had a contemplating frown on her face, "No….." She drags on.
Paul sighs, and jumps off the steps of the bus and sits down on the bench next to her.
Dawn moves away from him.
Paul smirks moving closer to her, watching the bus leave.
Dawn scoots away again, while Paul just scoots closer to her again.
She moves away again, not realizing she's almost at the end of the bench.
Paul still wearing the smirk, scoots closer.
Dawn moves away again, but since she was at the end of the bench she falls on her ass, "Ow!" She complains.
Paul's smirk, formed into a huge grin, while he bursts out laughing at her. "Pathetic!" He says, continuing to laugh.
She sneers at him, "I really really don't like you."
He grins down at her before offering his hand to help her up, "And I really really like you."
She slaps his hand away, "You only like sex." She snaps at him irritably.
Paul shrugs, not agreeing or disagreeing with her.
Dawn scoffs, getting up from the floor and sits at the other side of the bench.
Paul still chuckling at her, "Look, I know you wanted to go somewhere, to the mall or somewhere else. I can take you there if you want. It's not that far away." He rolled his eyes crossing his arms.
Her eyes light up when he says the mall, "The mall?"
He rolls his eyes again, and groans internally. "Yes, the mall troublesome."
She looks at him suspiciously, "Fine. But no funny business, no touching, flirting or anything, got it?" She gives him a pointed look.
Paul frowns, "Fine. Let's go already." He snarls, and then thinks to himself, I hate touching, but why did it pain me when she said that? Ugh what is the stupid girl doing to me.
Dawn gets up after Paul and follows him.
Twenty minutes later
"Paul! I thought you said the mall was close." She whined to him.
Paul rolls his eyes at her in annoyance, just because he likes her, doesn't mean he doesn't get annoyed with her. "I didn't say it was close, I said it was not that far away. There's a difference idiot." He mumbles dryly, and annoyed with her complaining.
She groans, "Not far away is close, idiot!" She mocks, impatiently.
Paul sighs in aggravation, "No. not far away is not far nor close, close is close, far is far. Ergo I was right." He growls at her.
Dawn squints her eyes at him, seeing that she was getting on his nerves and she smirks to herself in pure delight. "Since when do stupid people like you, use the word 'ergo'?"
Paul grunts, "Hn. Since idiot troublesome girls like you ask annoying questions like those." He spoke maliciously.
Dawn frowns, "Jerk." She mumbles to herself walking ahead of him not wanting to be near him.
Paul grumbles to himself, and catches up with her. "Well, if I'm such a jerk why don't you go to the mall alone? Oh, wait because you need this jerk, to lead you there." He grunts mockingly.
Dawn sneers at him, "I don't need you." She starts walking and then sees that there are two paths she could go, she sighs and stomps her foot. She turns back and walks up to Paul, who's standing there wearing a lopsided smirk. "Fine. I need your directions." She sighed.
Paul rolls his eyes, "Then stop complaining." They both start walking and he purposely brushes his hand on hers.
She glares at him, "What did I say about touching?"
"And what did I say about complaining?" Sneering down at her, not letting her overpower him.
She stares up at him and notices his eyes were lighter gray at the moment. "You're eyes are gray, I thought they were always darker than that." She states randomly.
Paul frowns, and turns his face away from her with a light blush on his cheeks. His face hardens, thinking of how many girls threw themselves at him, just because of his eyes, or even his good-looking façade anyway. "Apparently girls like it." He grunts, still walking.
Dawn tries not to let out a laugh, but she giggles at his face, like he was scarred from something. She then realized she actually laughed, and mumbles incoherently to herself "Damn it."
Paul turns to look at her with a grin on his face, hearing that wonderful sound again, "Did I just make you giggle?" He teases slightly.
She purses her lips so she wouldn't laugh, but can't help but let out a tiny grin, "Nooo…" She drags on innocently.
He chuckles, "Keep denying it troublesome girl." He pokes her side, and she jumps up, because he got the spot where she was ticklish at. He smirks at her jump, memorizing that one spot, but dying to figure out where else she was ticklish.
She lets out a couple of giggles, still trying to frown at him but not succeeding.
He grins watching her smile, that smile of hers makes his heart beat just a little faster than its normal pace. He steps forward tickling her again, while she tries to push him away.
She was laughing hysterically now, "Stop!" She tries to grab his hands and walk backwards, "Stop it Paul! Seriously!" She tries again but she ends up tripping backwards.
Before Dawn could fall, Paul was there to grab waist and pulls her upright against his chest so she wouldn't fall. His hands were wrapped tightly around her waist while one of her hands was on his chest, and the other one gripping his arm tightly.
He stares down at her, while she stares up at him blushing. Paul doesn't know if she was blushing because she was embarrassed that she almost fell, or their close proximity.
She lets go of his chest and arm, and steps back while Paul lets her go.
She clears her throat awkwardly, "Th—thanks…" She mumbled softly, the blush still evident on her cheeks, while they both continue to walk.
He flushes slightly too, and coughs, "Uh—sure." He says lamely, while walking with her.
It was quiet for a bit, before Paul broke the silence, with a devious smirk, "Next time, try not to be a klutz, troublesome."
She groans, "You just had to ruin it with a snarky comment."
Paul chuckles, "Aw, is the little girl mad that I ruined the 'romantic moment'?"
Dawn flushes again hitting his shoulder, "We didn't have a moment!" She sneers at him.
"Keep telling yourself that." He smirks down at her, winking.
She huffed at him crossing her arms, "We did not have a moment!"
He had a smug grin on face, clearly enjoying this. "Yes we did."
She pouted, "No we didn't!" She argued back.
"Yes we did." He argued back.
"UGH! No we didn't!" She glared at him.
He laughs and looks down at her, "Yes we—"
Dawn grabs his face suddenly and kisses him hard shutting him up. She pulls away, while Paul looks at her dazed in confused.
"Thank god, you shut up." She huffs, with a blush on her cheeks avoiding all eye contact with him. She walks forward, continuing onwards.
Paul watches her walk and smiles to himself, shaking his head at how crazy this girl is, and how she was making him feel.
