Dawn opened her house door and walked inside, and then she walked into the kitchen she looked around but couldn't find her mother.
"Mom…mother, you home?" Dawn yelled as she set her bag on the table.
"Welcome home sweetie" Johanna said as she gave a big huge hug around her daughter."Hey mother what do you want to eat? I'll start making dinner" Dawn asked as her mom stop hugging her.
"No, you go outside and ride your Rapadash, I'll make dinner." Her mother pointed to the door as she started to make spaghetti. Dawn was going to say something about Paul coming over but then she had no idea if he was going to eat at home. Dawn turned and walked to the back door but turned around quickly, and stared at her mom.
"Is something wrong?" Johanna asked her child still cooking
"Well, I'm having a school partner coming over and we're going to be helping each other with school work." Dawn was still at the door
"Do I know this person? Boy or girl?" Johanna asked as she turned to look at her daughter.
"Yes, you do, he's Reggie's younger brother" Dawn really didn't want to tell her mother but she felt it was right to tell her.
"Paul? Is this the same kid you had a crush on since you were both little but stop liking him when you started high school?" she asked
Dawn nodded and said "It's not that big of a deal"
"Are you kidding, Paul is never ever over in this house" Johanna was happy yet shock that Paul was coming to their house.
'Ok maybe it is…to you' Dawn thought to herself.
"It's just a heads up, I'm going to go ride now." Dawn said as she opened the door to go to her Rapadash, when mom stopped her.
"When is he coming?"
"Six o'clock"
"Oh, ok…its 5:00 go and ride for thirty minutes then take a shower, ok?" Johanna told her daughter.
"Ok" Dawn turned around and walked out the door.
15 minutes later
Dawn was riding her Rapadash around the field thinking to herself 'how did I have a D in Professor Oak's class and now I have to play the part of Juliet, and PAUL is going to play ROMEO! I mean why him and not like any other guy in the class, there were more guys then girls! So why him!' Dawn became even more frustrated at the subject that her Rapadash almost ran into the fence.
"Rapa!" yelled the Pokémon.
"What, oh!" Dawn graded the rains and turned hard suddenly in a quick motion they took a hard left. "I'm so sorry Rapadash" Dawn said apologizing to her Pokémon. Rapadash nodded at her master and understood.
"I think I should get ready before Paul arrives." Dawn said as she got off her horse and put her equipment away, then ran into the house. When she walked inside Dawn didn't see the same messy house before but that it was clean and organized. Dawn saw her mother making dinner with her cat like Pokémon, Glameow. So Dawn decided to just go and take a shower.
After she was done she decided to wear her turquoise sparkle top, black sweats, and her birthday necklace she got from her secret admirer. She loved how it was heart shape, how it had a pearl and a diamond right next to each other, and that the heart was made out of platinum; Dawn also up her long navy blue hair in a pony tail.
"There; I'm ready" she was happy the way she looked and it didn't look slutty or stupid; so Paul couldn't complain about it. She heard the door bell ring and ran down the stairs to answer it. She stopped at the front of the door and paused she inhaled deeply and then exhaled, graded the door healed and opened it.
Paul arrived on time and was standing patiently outside waiting to be invited in even thought he could be doing something else instead. Paul was out of his school clothes, and was wearing a purple t-shirt with a dark blue hoodie, and some dark blue gym shorts. Is it just me or dose Paul always wear purple?
Dawn invited him in and said "what should we start on first." Paul looked at her then at her mother who decide to walk in.
"Hi Paul," she said sticking her hand out, Paul stared at it and took it. "So how are you, last time I saw you was when you were five years old."
"I'm good," he said smoothly "It has been a while… I guess." Paul said as he took his hand away. Johanna was happy and said why don't we talk over dinner? Paul was going to say something like we can't because we have to work, but Dawn stop him gave him a look like come on, please. Then nodded towards her mother and fallowed her to the dinner table.
They sat down and eat the food Dawn's mother made for them. After they were done Paul stood up and thank Dawn's mom then turned to Dawn and said "We should start on our work.
"Oh right, hold on let me help my mom with the…"
Interrupts "it's ok I got them" said Johanna as she started to pick up. "Go on and do your work."
"OK…" Dawn said as she took Paul up to her room.
Once they got into her room Paul turned towards Dawn and asked "What do you want to do first?"
Dawn started thinking when she suddenly she got the feeling Paul didn't bring the scripts! "Paul"
"What?"
"Did you bring the scripts?"
"No, I thought you had then…"
"I don't, do you?"
"No… maybe Professor Oak was supposed to give us the scripts tomorrow."
"So, what should we do now?" Dawn asked as she grabbed her backpack and got out her Trigonometry and Calculus books to do her math homework.
Paul's eyes widened and then he said "You know Trigonometry and Calculus?"
"Yes, why?" Dawn asked him. Suddenly Paul got really silent, so Dawn looked at him and she think she saw blush!
Paul looked away and said "Could… you help me… with Algebra?"
The four last words hit her the most. Help me with Algebra? The words kept replaying in her mind. Help? Why would he need help? When was he in Algebra?
*Snap*
Then Dawn realized that she hadn't reply to Paul's question yet. "Sure, I'll help you"
Paul turned around with a look like really? After about 20 minutes of math then were sitting on the bed really close to each other, Dawn was talking and Paul was staring at her when he saw her necklace. That's about when Paul said "That's a really pretty necklace, were did you get it?" Dawn stopped talking and looked down at her necklace.
"What? Oh this, I…" Dawn pause, she didn't realized at they were sitting like arm to arm.
"I,… what?" Paul asked as he moved his face closer to hers.
"I found it on my porch, someone left it there… I don't even know who it's" she looked over at Paul's face. His face was beautiful, his onyx eyes were easy to get lost in and his lips seem so kiss-able. Wait, KISS-able, no she could never ever kiss him! He doesn't even like me and he's helping me get a better grade! What if we kiss and he deices not to help me anymore! She thought to herself. Then her heart started to pound faster and faster. She felt her cheeks go warm and turn pink.
Paul started to lean in and closed his eyes.
Crap! Why do I feel like this! No we can't do this! Dawn thought
Paul came in closer and closer.
Stop! Stop! Dawn kept thinking. Then with no warning Dawn pushed Paul back a little. Paul was a little surprised by Dawn's actions.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to I just think… we should get back to the math." Dawn said as she pointed to the books. Paul nodded and said "Ok".
Great now he hates me! She thought.
30 minutes had past and Paul still didn't say anything. Dawn was getting really nervous and then looked at the clock.
"Paul, its 7:30 and it's getting dark, maybe you should go home." Dawn said as she closed the books. Paul stared at the clock and nodded and stood up.
"Your right I should leave." Paul said as he got his stuff and started too walked down stairs.
"Wait, Paul" Dawn said as she went after him. They got to the door and looked at each other. "Can you come over on Friday?"
Paul thought about it and said "Sure and can I could on Thursday too?"
Dawn smiled and said "Yes"
Paul rolled his eyes and said "See ya, Troublesome". Then Paul opened the door and closed it behind him.
Suddenly Piplup come out of its poke'ball and tugged on its trainers pants and put its arms up so it could be picked up. Dawn smiled and picked him up.
"You know Piplup I can't wait for Thursday"
