Competition
At the calm Ranger School, in Almia...
"KEITH, YOU ARE SOOO DEAD!"
CRASH
BOOM
BLAM
"AHH! KATE, I'M SORRY, IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!"
...Kate was putting Keith in a spinning headlock. After he put itching powder all over her clothes. Also, in the background, you could see Ponte and Isaac in the background whispering.
"Hey Isaac, do you think that dare was too harsh?" Ponte whispered to the blonde, who shook his head.
"Nah, I don't think so." Meanwhile, Rythmi was trying to pull Kate off of Keith, who was trying to stay as far away from her as possible.
"KEITH! NOW I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR! I COULDN'T PACK THAT MANY CLOTHES, I ONLY HAVE TWO UNIFORMS, AND ONE IS IN THE LAUNDRY, AND THOSE WERE THE ONLY OTHER CLOTHES I HAD! NOW WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO WEAR?" Kate yelled at the boy that was cowering in the corner. Rythmi just decided to save his butt.
"Hey, Kate, can't you just borrow some of my clothes?" Rythmi asked. Kate shook her head.
"Nah, I'm like four sizes smaller than you, remember?" Kate replied and Rythmi nodded her head. 'Yeah, and you're a good friend and all, but those clothes are girly and I wouldn't wear them even if they did fit, but thanks Ryth.' Kate thought to herself.
"Why not ask Janice if there's something else you can wear?" A boy black hair and a tan asked, wearing a Ranger School uniform.
"Thanks, uh..." Kate said, not knowing his name.
"My name's Josh, I'm new here. Today's my first day." Josh introduced. Kate stuck out her hand for him to shake, but instead, he took her hand and kissed the back. Kate blushed and Rythmi introduced herself and Kate to Josh. Meanwhile, Keith was fuming at Josh and had a mind to strangle him.
"Looks like you got some competition there, Keith." Isaac said behind Keith with Ponte by his side. Something clicked in Keith's mind.
"Whatd'ya mean by that, I mean, it's not like I have a crush on Kate, right?" Keith asked, pulling at his collar and sweating beads.
"Dude, it's so obvious it's sad." Ponte said. Keith stiffened.
"NO IT ISN'T!" Keith yelled. Isaac rolled his eyes and grabbed a passing student by his arm.
"Hey Kevin, Keith likes someone in Ranger School, guess who."Isaac said to Kevin, who smirked.
"Kate, no duh." Kevin walked off, leaving Keith to look at his place, with his mouth dropping, he turned to Isaac.
"I hate you when you're right."
"Hey, it doesn't take a genius with my kind of IQ to have to know that. It's so obvious, even the Pokemon that live here know it." Isaac said shrugging. Keith rolled his eyes.
"Yeah right, as if." Keith said. Isaac whistled and a nearby Bidoof came by to them and Isaac pet the Bidoof.
"Hey Bidoof, Keith here" gestures to Keith "likes somebody. Do you know who she is?" The Bidoof looked at Keith and nodded his head over to Kate.
"Thanks Bidoof, see ya later." Isaac said as the Bidoof walked away. Keith glared at Isaac.
"I really hate you." Isaac chuckled.
"Not my fault you're so obvious." Keith glared when a thought clicked in his head, making him smirk.
"Well what about you and Ryth?" Isaac's breath hitched and he stiffened.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Isaac said unconvincingly. Keith snickered at his discomfort.
"Well this'll be funny... HEY EVERYBODY, ISAAC LIKES- GAHH!" Keith got interrupted when he got put into a headlock and having his mouth covered.
"SHUT UP KEITH!" Isaac screamed, his face as red as a Heatran's. Rythmi and Kate sighed and walked over to the two trying to save Keith's life. Rythmi pulled Isaac back by his ear and Kate grabbed Keith by his jacket and yanked him out of Isaac's vicegrip.
"Keith, can't you go a day without having people beating on you?" Rythmi asked. Keith fumed and crossed his arms while mumbling under his breath.
"Oh right, I forgot! We have to introduce you to Josh, Josh this is Keith and this is Isaac." Kate said while gesturing to the two. Keith forced on a smile but instead, it looked evil like he was planning something for an evil organization.
"Hey there, Josh." Keith said through his teeth. Isaac sighed and smacked Keith over his head.
"Nice to meet you, Josh. Sorry about the imbecile here." Isaac said, pointing at Keith. Keith glared at Isaac.
"Yeah and sorry for the know-it-all here." Keith said, glaring at Isaac, who was glaring right back at him.
"I think I'm going to like this school." Josh said while grinning and chuckling at the two.
"Hey Josh, since you're new here, why don't me and Kate give you a tour of the school?" Rythmi asked. Josh nodded.
"Sounds great, let's go."Josh said as the three wandered off. Isaac and Keith were both glaring at Josh's back. Ponte shook his head.
"Look's like both of you guys have competition." Ponte said, both guys were growling and looked like they were ready to kill Josh. "Did you guys ever think that Josh is a good person and if you ask him to lay off them, he will?" The two boys blinked three times before facepalming themselves.
"Well lets go talk to him, I mean, there are other girls at this school and Josh might back off." Keith said. Isaac nodded. The two thanked Ponte and walked away to find Josh. They found the three at the end of their tour, at the Pledge stone. The two walked up to them.
"Hey, Kate and Ryth, can we talk to Josh for a sec?" Keith asked. Kate shrugged.
"Sure why not? See ya later." Josh walked up to the two and they left Ascension Square (is that what you call it?). The three walked past the Target Clear practice crates and up the steps. They sat down next to the Wooden Fence that was at the top.
"So, um...Josh? I know you haven't been here that long, but uh, could you, uh?" Keith uncharacteristically stumbled over his words. Keith sighed and started over. "Could you like back off Kate and Ryth? It's just that well, the two of us kinda got crushes on them and could you like back off? I mean, like we can be friends and all, we just wanted you to know that." Josh looked at Keith, then Isaac, and smirked at the two.
"Nah, I don't think I will. In fact, if anybody should be telling somebody to back off, I should be the one telling that to you two." Josh said smirking. "Besides, do you think that the two of them would pick you two over me? I mean, look at me; pure sex. You *points at Keith* are just a pathetic, spiky haired, loser. You *points at Isaac* are just a pale brainiac with a stupid, mushroom hairstyle." Keith and Isaac glared at him.
"Oh well, I'm sure that you can see who they would pick because it's-"
"Them." Josh got interrupted by Rythmi and Kate in front of them, glaring at him. Josh gulped, he saw what Kate did to Keith and there was no way Rythmi was going to help him out.
"We came to tell you guys that you were going to be late for class." Kate said. "But I guess we're all going to be a little late." Kate finished her sentence by jabbing Josh in his stomach, grabbing him by his tie, and bringing him up to eye level.
"So, even though we're going to get detention for a month because of this, we might as well make it count." Kate said with a murderous glare in her eye and making Josh gulp.
"Um... Run." Keith told Josh who ran, but Kate ran after him, and being how fast she is, she tackled him to the ground and did a sacrifice throw on him, making him land in a dirt pile. Kate, Rythmi, Keith, and Isaac ran after him. Keith and Kate to beat on him and Rythmi and Isaac to make sure they beat him, but didn't kill him.
-Three Hours Later-
'So how long is that Jerk gonna b in the infirmary? B-]' Keith and Isaac wrote on a note and passed to Kate and Rythmi.
'At least two or three months ;-] Girls kick ass.' Kate and Rythmi passed back in Ms. April's class which is where they were for a time called 'Detention'.
'Hey guys, how long do we have dentention? We forgot ^U^' The girls passed another note.
'Well considering that Kate and Keith beat up a new kid to a near-death state on his first day of Ranger School, I'd have to say... 4 days a week of detention for... 6 weeks' Isaac passed the note to Kate and Rythmi. They smirked when they heard that again, Kate would've pounded that kid to death if Rythmi and Isaac weren't there to hold her back... And keep her away from the shed that had the sledgehammers, chainsaws, etc.
DING DONG DING DONG
The four student stood up and were leaving detention, they walked up to the Common room and sat down on four empty bean bag chairs.
"Oh hey, that reminds me, I have to thank you Keith." Kate said. Keith looked at her, puzzled.
"What're you talking about?"
"During my Test of Courage, thanks for helping me when we had to go to the basement. Keith shrugged.
"It was no biggie." Isaac smirked at Keith.
"Hey Kate, maybe you should reward him with a kiss." Isaac teased. Rythmi giggled when the two turned bright red.
"Hey, that reminds me, *turns to Keith* who does Isaac like?" Kate asked. Isaac stopped laughing and stiffened, he bit his lower lip.
"Oh, you see, he likes- GAH!" Keith never got to finish because Isaac put him in yet, another headlock. Isaac had so much red on his cheeks, you would think that someone used Overheat on him. Rythmi and Kate giggled while pulling Isaac off of Keith.
"Aww, come on Isaac you can tell us." Rythmi pleaded while giving puppy dog eyes. Isaac turned a little pink but tried to hide it, Kate noticed this. Isaac turned around in his beanbag chair, trying to hide his blush. Kate got suspiscious, although Rythmi didn't notice and was trying to make Isaac tell her who he liked.
"Hey Keith, does Isaac like Ryth?" Kate whispered over to Keith, who nodded.
"Yeah, I'm actually suprised it took you this long to find out." Keith replied, chuckling at Isaac, who was bright red and was completely turned in his beanbag chair. Rythmi was still trying to make him tell her who he liked and was pouting her lip along with her puppy dog eyes. Kate smirked at the two.
"Hey Rythmi, I think I know who Isaac likes..." Rythmi looked up at Kate and smiled.
"Okay who is it?"Rythmi asked, Isaac turned around and had a look of pure horror on his face.
"I can't tell you or else Isaac would kill me." Kate replied. Rythmi then put a arm around Isaac's shoulder and put the unexpected, yet bright red Isaac into a headlock.
"There, he can't kill you now." Rythmi replied with a smile on her face. Isaac panicked and tried to escape Rythmi's vicegrip, although she really wasn't going to let him go. Kate and Keith stood up.
"Ok, it's the person Isaac likes is the one putting him in a headlock right now. Well me and Keith better give you two some privacy." Kate said quickly while walking out of the common room and down the stairs with Keith in tow. Rythmi looked suprised, and then had bright red tinges on her cheeks, she bit her lip and let Isaac go.
"Sooo... You like me?" Rythmi asked. Isaac blushed and took great interest to the floor.
"Yeah, I do." Isaac said blushing like mad, he could've won a world record.
"Really, 'cause, I uh... ilikeyoutoo!" Rythmi talked so fast in the last part, Isaac thought for half a second that she was speaking a different language.
"Uh... Pardon?" Rythmi sighed and mumbled.
"Sorry but I couldn't hear that." Rythmi mumbled a little louder.
"Still can't understand."
"I like you too..." Rythmi said, blushing. Isaac did a double take.
"Really? I guess I'll have to thank Kate and Keith for opening their big mouths." Isaac said grinning.
"Oh yeah, we better go find them." Rythmi said, getting out of her beanbag chair, and down the stairs, pulling Isaac along with her.
"So, whats one thing that Kate and Keith both like?" Isaac asked.
"Capturing." The two said in unison, opening the front door to see the two capturing Bidoof, Tailow, and Budew. Kate noticed them first.
"Oh hey guys, what's happening?" Kate asked casually. Keith looked up and saw the two and grinned.
"So you two finally told each other huh?"Keith asked grinning. Rythmi and Isaac blushed, then Isaac grinned.
"Yeah, now you need to tell somebody..." Isaac said. Keith started to sweat, Rythmi giggled, and Kate just looked confused.
"So you like somebody? Who?" Kate asked.
"I...I, um... I gotta go!" Keith said as he made a break inside, through the main hall, up the steps, past the common room, and into the Boys Dorm. Kate sighed, by the time she reached up with Keith, he had already locked the door. Kate shrugged and went inside the Girls Dorm with Rythmi.
SHADOW OUT!
