Once again, I didn't know what to write for this chapter, so I just wrote everything at the top of my head D:
Disclaimer : I do not own pokemon besides my OCs.
At the Cafe Cabin, Riley and Iris were sitting next to each other, across from Denji and Shizuka. Denji and Iris had the same expression, both were quite calm and probably thought the person sitting next to them were idiots. Despite the fact that Denji knew Shizuka for awhile, her constant giggling was starting to get annoying. Iris was staring out the window, calmly drinking her latte. Riley then turned to Iris.
"You have such lovely eyes, Iris. I see you have heterochromia." Riley complimented.
Tch, this guy is definitely flirting with Iris. Denji was annoyed. But why did he care? There was ... nothing going on between him and Iris.
Shizuka stared at Iris, who was still angry at her for insulting her awhile ago. She decided to flirt with Denji, hoping to make Iris jealous.
"Well, I think Denji-senpai's blue eyes are dreamier!" Shizuka grabbed hold of Denji's arm.
Too bad Iris ignored her. Denji looked around and noticed that the cafe wasn't as crowded as it usually is. He then sighed and looked at Iris.
"So ... Iris ... How do you like Sinnoh Academy so far?" he asked, hoping she won't snap at him.
"It could be better." she sipped her latte.
"How so, Iris?" Riley smiled.
"Some people should go die in a hole. That would make it better." Iris said coldly, eyeing at Denji and Shizuka.
Denji froze. How straightforward! D8
Shizuka groaned. "Denji-senpaaaai! How's it been as a gym leader lately? Had any new challengers yet?"
"Nope. Boring as ever." Denji sighed.
A group of girls suddenly came in and noticed Riley and Denji. They suddenly squealed.
"Oh my gosh! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! IT'S RILEY-SENPAI AND DENJI-SENPAAAAAI!" they all rushed towards the table.
Riley smiled at them while Denji ignored them. He was used to these kinds of things, but he wished they would just leave him alone. Shizuka joined in the squealing which made it even worse. As for Iris, she was already on the verge of rage. Sipping the last drop of her latte, she crushed the cup and slammed it on the table ... calmly of course, cause you know, she's THAT cool. Everyone was quiet. They all stared at her, waiting for the worst to happen.
"Why are you all crowding? Are you all asking me to beat you to death?" Iris gave them a death glare.
She took out her sword, which she somehow has, and began to unsheath it. The group of girls backed away quickly and left the cafe. Iris put her sword away and grumped.
... Was this girl born with a murderous intent? Denji was silent and shocked to see Iris having such a weapon.
"... What are you, an assassin?" Shizuka asked, disgustly. She pretended not to be afraid, even though she was.
"I wish, then I can slice you in half and get away with it." Iris smirked.
Shizuka began to boil. "Whatever! I'm strong too!" she said proudly. Of course, this WAS a lie.
"I hate people who are all talk. But then again, it's fun to crush their ego." Iris chuckled.
Riley stared at Iris, then smiled. "Wow, Iris. You're so different from all the other girls at the school. You're so full of confidence. I wish some girls would admire that about you."
Denji was getting annoyed at Riley. Geez, stop flirting with her already.
"I'm pretty confident too!" Shizuka was trying to keep her head held high.
"But it's not the same as what Iris has." Riley told her.
Iris stared at Shizuka, who was whining and acting like a little child.
"Come on, Shizuka. Just ignore him. He's obviously trying to get Iris to like him." Denji said calmly.
What the ... Did I just say that? Oh man, I should've just kept that to myself D8
Riley eyed at Denji, with a small hint of anger in his eyes. "What?"
Iris stood up and began to leave.
"Ah! Iris, where are you going?" Riley called out.
"Home." Iris opened the door and left.
Riley continued to stare at the closed door. He then turned to look at Denji with anger. Soon after, he left as well. It was only Denji and Shizuka left.
"Woah ... Anyways, Denji-senpai, let's hang with each other a bit more okay?" Shizuka smiled at him as she hugged his arm.
Seriously, Shizuka ... You're making us look like a couple, even though we're not.
Suddenly, Denji's phone vibrated. It was a text message from Flint.
Hey man! I'm bored.
Let's hang, okay? Okay.
SEE YOU LATER.
.... This guy didn't even give me a chance to reply with my answer. Denji sighed. What a drag.
"What is it? A text message? From who? What did it say?" Shizuka bombarded him with questions.
"Sorry, Shizuka. Flint just asked me to hang with him. I'll see you later." Denji got up and left, leaving Shizuka alone.
Shizuka crossed her arms and pouted. "Damn that Iris ..." She then noticed the waitress leaving a bill on the table.
"Huh? What's this?" Shizuka picked up the bill.
"Your bill miss. The total is 10000 pokedollars." the waitress said.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Shizuka screamed.
Denji and Flint were walking through Amity Square with Jolteon and Flareon. Flint was talking to Denji about various things. Denji didn't pay attention of course. He was still annoyed at Riley.
Why the hell is he always flirting with Iris anyways? She doesn't even like the guy ...
Denji was then snapped out of his thoughts when Flint called his name several times.
"Yo, Denji, you all right, my man?" Flint asked.
"... Yeah, I'm fine ..." Denji said quietly.
Flint stared at his best friend.
"You know what? I hate that guy, Riley. I swear, he's always flirting with new female transfer students. This time, it's Iris. She doesn't even like him and he's still trying to get her. Come on! The guy should give it up already, you know? Doesn't that bother you?" Denji ranted.
Woah. He is DEFINITELY not okay. Flint stared at Denji in shock.
"Relax man. That Ice Queen will never fall for him." Flint patted Denji's back.
"Yeah, but ..." Denji was unsure.
"And, why do you care? DON'T TELL ME ........" Flint began to snicker.
"W-WHAT? NO. YOU SHUT UP RIGHT NOW." Denji began to panic. It wasn't soon he began to blush.
"Dude! Your face is red! Burning red!" Flint laughed, uncontrollably.
D: One of the reasons why I hate this guy.
"So? Do you like her?" Flint smiled.
"No." Denji looked away from the red-head.
"Awwe, come on, man! Don't burn out on me! I promise I won't tell anyone ..."
"Forget it. I don't like her. That girl disses me too much. And besides. I'm just ANNOYED at Riley. That's all."
"Suuuuuuuure."
"Dude, shut up. I'm leaving." Denji turned around and began to walk home.
Flint ran after him. He put his arm around Denji's shoulders and pulled him next to him. "Come on, just tell Dr. Flint how you feel about the Ice Queen."
"Is that what you call her now? Anyways, I told you. We're just friends ... Actually, 'friend' is probably not the right word ..." Denji looked away.
"THEN IT'S GIR-"
Denji elbowed him. Flint let go of Denji, who began to increase his speed.
"Whatever, man. Just know that I'm gonna assume that you like her!" Flint laughed.
Denji rolled his eyes. Can't believe this guy.
As Iris was getting close to her house, Dawn suddenly bumped into her.
"Ah! I'm so sorry!" Dawn said as she got up.
Iris stared at the petite girl.
"Oh ... You're Iris-senpai. I heard a lot of things about you." Dawn said.
Iris raised an eyebrow.
"Don't worry, I won't bother you if you don't want me to." Dawn gave Iris a gentle and warm smile.
Seeing Dawn smiled reminded Iris of herself when she was younger. Iris remembered smiling a lot ... way before she was constantly moving. Those were the happier days.
"Are you happy right now?" Iris asked.
Dawn was confused. "Of course I'm happy."
"Then be sure to always hold onto that happiness ... even if it were to fade into a small lit flame." Iris continued to walk home.
Dawn turned around behind her and stared at Iris, who was already further away. Dawn placed her fist over her chest. Happiness, huh? Am I ... really happy?
She then heard someone calling her name. Lucas? She turned around. No, it was just Barry. When he caught up to her, he smiled brightly. Dawn widened her eyes and slightly blushed. What's this sudden ... feeling?
"Hey, Dawn! My dad's in town. Let's go see him, yeah? Maybe he'll help us train!" Barry took Dawn's hand.
Dawn blushed even more. She followed Barry to his house. She hasn't been there in awhile. Why?
Happiness .
