Previously...
"What do you think of Dawn?" He asked with a playful smirk.
He stopped chewing and faced his brother.
~oOo~
Dawn had just finished eating dinner and was up in her room researching on Japanese mythology.
~HARUka
Dawn!
It's me!
May! :D
The girl looked at the sudden instant message and laughed.
Penguin Princess
Hey, May!
~HARUka
Oh!
I think Misty's on!
Hold on, let me invite her in!
Misty has joined the group
~HARUka
Misty!
Look!
It's Dawn!
:D
Misty
May...
have you been drinking again?
Princess Penguin
Um...
Should I be reading this?
~HARUka
Hey, hey!
I only had like, a sip alright?
Misty
Right...
The conversation carried on with May trying to prove to Misty that she had not been drinking.
Misty
You know that you're not of age yet, yeah?
Heck, NONE of us are of age to drink.
~HARUka
But I'm NOT drinking! I swear!
Penguin Princess
Well...to be honest...
I had ten sips of champagne once...
~HARUka
…
Misty
…
Penguin Princess
I felt tipsy after...
The amount I got was the length of a perfectly trimmed pinky nail too.
It was rather sad...
I found out that I have extremely low alcohol tolerance...
~HARUka
…
That's okay!
I'll help you with that!
:D
Misty
Oh geezus no.
DON'T drink anything May gives you.
Seriously.
She's going to spike it with vodka.
Penguin Princess
O_O
Uh.
May I ask why?
~HARUka
Heh.
You said my name! :D
Penguin Princess
Okay. I believe you Misty.
I'm going to do my Comp Civ research thing now
I'll see you guys tomorrow!
Bye bye!
Misty
Bye, Dawn
~HARUka
BYE DAWNIE!
Penguin Princess has signed out
Dawn quickly searched up 'Japanese Mythology' in the search bar and several pages on said subject appeared before her. She clicked on several links on the first page and read through the information, taking notes in the process.
The bluenette continued to scribble down on the lined paper; she pressed her mechanical pencil furiously, trying to magically get the led out.
You have a call
Dawn looked up and realized that someone was trying to call her on her Xtranseiver. She moved the mouse and clicked 'accept'.
A flaxen haired boy had his face immensely close to the camera, allowing Dawn to get a good view of his eyes.
"Is this thing on?"
She laughed. "Yes, Barry. It's on."
The boy jumped up. She winced as he cried out in pain and fell onto the ground.
"B-Barry? Are you alright?"
"F-fine! I'm good!" He said as he raised his arm weakly to show Dawn a thumbs up.
"Geez, Barry. You sure know how to make a scene." She giggled.
Barry had already gotten up and adjusted himself. He scooted his chair closer to his desk and looked at the girl. "Hey! Don't laugh! You and I know very well that you like my awesome entrances!"
She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, sure."
"Remember in grade ten when we were going to our first class?" He asked with a chuckle.
"How could I forget? You practically fell on top of me when we entered the classroom." She too, let out a small laugh.
"H-hey! I did not fallon you! I-I tripped!" He rebutted.
"Yeah...but you still fell on me." She wore an all-knowing smirk as she watched her best friend get flustered and ramble about how it wasn't his fault.
"...Kenny's to blame, ya know! I even fined him after I got up!" His face was already bright red.
"You sure you didn't just purposely fall on me because you like me?" She joked. Dawn waited for Barry's denial but it never came.
"Barry?"
"Uh...no. I don't like you like that! I swear! It was Kenny's fault! He...he tripped me!" He said finally.
Dawn sat there with thoughts running in her mind. She wasn't sure if he was telling the truth or lying – well, more on the fact that he hadn't said anything after she jokingly teased him about possibly liking her.
"Hey...aren't you supposed to be asleep? Or, getting ready for school or something?" She asked, changing the subject.
Barry shrugged and leaned back with his hands behind his head. "Eh. I always make it to school on time, ya know? Besides, staying up late talking to a friend isn't going to hurt." He flashed her a lop-sided grin, his teeth rearing from the corner of his mouth.
Dawn couldn't stifle the laugh that rose in her throat. She shook her head in the process and rested her chin on the palm of her hand. "Oh, Barry."
"So how's your new school? Friends? Classes? Crushes?" He asked.
"Gosh, Barry. What are you? The interrogator? Ha ha." She grabbed the bottled water next to her and slowly drank it.
"No! I just wanted to know if the new life is treating my best friend well or not." He retorted.
"Well...school's great. Made tons of friends. I love my classes and...whether or not I have a crush on someone is confidential," she replied as she playfully winked at him.
"Wait a minute! You likesomeone!?" His voice could have acted as an amplifier. She had to cover her ears from his strong, loud voice.
"I-I didn't say I like anyone!"
"But you didn't say you didn't. Face it Miss Berlitz, you have a crush on someone!" He said as he pointed a finger at her.
The evident blush on her face was probably something that gave her away. She sighed and decided that she might as well tell him and get it over with. "Yeah...I do like someone..."
Both friends remained quiet for a pregnant minute.
"Uh...th-that's great to hear!" He said, it was obvious to Dawn that he was feigning his cheerful demeanor.
"Is it...now?"
"Yeah! I bet the guy you like is really nice and like, some prince charming or whatever," he continued.
"W-well...he's nice...not sure if he's prince charming...I don't believe in the whole 'prince charming' concept."
"You did when we first started high school together..." He said dully.
"I-I guess so...but not anymore..." She replied with the same enthusiasm as Barry's last comment.
"Ah crud. I better get ready for school...it was nice talking to you 'gain, Dawn." He smiled.
She nodded. "Same...and promise me one thing..."
"Yeah?"
"Remember to actually sleep and not stay up late. It's unhealthy for you," she replied with a sad, small smile.
"Nn. I know. Night – er well...evening? Uh..."
"'See you later', right?"
He chuckled and smirked. "Yeah. See ya!"
Call ended
The bluenette sighed. She couldn't help but think that Barry actually had some sort of feelings for her. She decided to push the assumptions aside and focused on her research. Dawn didn't want to face the wrath of Paul-freaking-Shinji if she showed up to class empty handed.
oOoOoOoOoOo
A/N: This is surprisingly a short chapter...or I don't know :/
Anyways, I'd love to know what you guys thought of this chapter! There's really...not much...other than the whole chatting thing between Dawn, May and Misty...and the "skype" thing (or in this case, Xtranseiver) with Dawn and Barry...however, next chapter will surely have things going on! : D
Oh btw, in the previous chapter with Paul and Drew talking, Drew's IM name was supposed to have that "at" symbol you see above the "2". It was supposed to look like a rose – but I guess ffnet disapproves of that. [Sighs].
Until then, thanks for reading!
