Chapter 11
Yay, my 11th chapter; anyway enjoy. I updated early, I'm proud of myself.
Disclaimer: I do not own pokémon or songs used, just the storyline.
There will be no POV's this chapter.
May awoke in the morning to find her Skitty on her head. "Ugh, you need to stop doing this. Get off me." She picked up her Skitty and placed it beside her before slowly crawling out of her bed. "It's too early," she mumbled. She looked at her Skitty and Glaceon, "what do I smell?" She sniffed the air more trying to identify the scent filling her nose. Her face grew a huge grin. "BACON!" she flew out of the room without changing into her clothes for the day.
"Damnit, stop waking me up that way!" a certain blue haired maiden glared at her penguin pokémon. "Hmm, I smell bacon...better get ready fast before May and Ash eat it all." Dawn skipped off to her closet to pick her outfit for the day.
When she walked out of the closet she wore a pair of black, ripped skinny jeans, and a loose hockey jersey of her favourite team the Twinleaf Penguins. She put her hair up in a loose bun, and threw a pair of white socks on her feet. Dawn walked out of her room to the kitchen; everyone was there chowing down on breakfast. Since they had two weeks off the cafeteria didn`t cook, so everyone had to fend for themselves.
"Cilan, this is amazing! You are the best cook ever!" Iris said as she stuffed her mouth with more of her breakfast.
"Damn cuz, why do you need to be a good cook? Look at this; you have a pretty girl just loving you." Drew told his cousin, iris' face turned a bright red.
"Just because I love his cooking doesn't mean I love him!" Iris shouted across the kitchen to Drew.
Misty jumped in front of Iris with her hands on her hips; she tilted her head to the side. "Then what does make you love him?" Both Iris and Cilan's faces went a deep crimson red.
"M-M-Misty!" all the girls knew that Iris had developed a crush on Cilan; although all the guys were oblivious to it.
There was a knock on the door, everyone looked at it. All eyes turned to Leaf implying she should answer it. Leaf sighed, "You always make me get it, you lazy asses." She strutted over to the door and opened it.
"Um, hello Ms. Cynthia; what brings you here so early in the morning?" Leaf gestured for her to come in and she did. Leaf closed the door behind the principle of the school.
"I have a few things I'd like to discuss with you and your roommates; if you don't mind."
"Of course not at all, everyone is just standing around the kitchen eating right now. I'll go get them." Leaf walked into the kitchen. "Dudes, Cynthia is here and wants to talk to us in the living room." She pointed with her thumb to the living room. They grabbed their plates off the counter and went to the living room to sit in their normal seats.
"As you may know exams begin tomorrow, I have been talking to your teachers and they say that all of you have outstanding marks. Because of these grades you do not need to take the final exam, but if you do not take the exams then there is a price to pay." She paused for a minute. "For the bands, you will be put in pairs and you must perform a song at the end of the year party we have. For Cilan, you would need to prepare the food with the help of the cooking staff for that same party. And lastly Iris, you will hold a dance class every other Friday for those that need it. So which would you rather do?" Cynthia put her hands in her pockets.
Ash raised his hand sheepishly, "um, what happens at the end of the year party?" Gary smacked the back of his head because of his stupid question.
"Well since you are wondering, it is like most end of the year parties although it has a catch. Everyone must show their talent somehow and the family is invited to come watch to see how their son, daughter, brother or sister has improved." Cynthia told the teens, they weren't shocked though because it was a talent school.
"So why do we need to preform instead of doing an exam if we need to anyway?" May asked with a mouth full of food.
Leaf grabbed her head and turned it to face her, "chew, swallow, and then you talk." Drew was snickering at this which caused him to get a glare from May.
"I said in partners, not in your bands. It will be a girl and a boy. The pairs would be as follows: Leaf and Gary, Misty and Ash, May and Drew, Dawn and Paul. Any problems with these pairs?" each person looked at their partner. May glared at Drew and he just shook his head. Misty and Ash smiled at each other. Leaf winked at Gary, who blushed faintly and looked away so that he wouldn't flirt. Dawn gave Paul a small smile that was replied with by his signature smirk.
"I'll do it! I'd love to teach people how to dance!" Iris said excitedly. She loved dancing and to get out of exams for it was a bonus.
"Me too, I love a good cooking challenge. I shall start planning the menu!" Cilan said before dashing back to his room so he could start finding recipes.
"I know us girls will do it but not so sure on the guys." Misty said looking back towards the boys sitting on the couch and chair.
"Hey! I never said I would work with grass head!" May shouted as she pointed at Drew.
"It won't be a picnic for me either March." Drew smirked at her.
"You now don't have a choice. You all will perform I partners." Cynthia told the group before heading towards the door. She opened the door just before turning back to the group of friends. "By the way, you need to have a beat or lyrics finished by the end of everyone's exams, in other words Friday." She left the room closing the door behind her.
"Alright I'm going to go make up some dance routines to teach people. If you need me I'll be in my room," Iris waved as she went down the hall of rooms.
"We had better start working on our songs." Misty said as she stood up. She walked over to Ash and grabbed his arm. "Let's go you; I want this done as soon as possible." Misty dragged off Ash.
"Don't I get a say!" Ash pouted as he was dragged across the floor and down the hall.
"Let's go December; I want this done so I can stop seeing you." Drew stood up from the couch.
"I'll get up if you say my name right." She crossed her arms and gave him a smirk.
"Let's go we don't have time to waste!" he shouted at her.
"Then say my name."
He mumbled to himself.
"Drew, say my name and I'll come."
"May," he whispered it quietly.
"Louder." She continued her smirk.
Drew spoke a little louder than before, "May."
"Louder."
"May, Arceus damnit! Stop it would you! I just want to work on the damn song!"
May reached up and patted his head. "Now was that so hard to say?" he growled at her before picking her up by the waist and carrying her off to his room. The others sat there looking disturbed.
The silence was broken when Gary spoke. "Am I the only one that thought that sounded really dirty?" the others shook their heads implying they understood exactly what he meant. "We should probably get working on a song. Come on Leaf." He stood up and walked down the hall with Leaf on his tail.
"So are we going to work on our song or what?" Dawn got up and looked over at Paul who was still sitting in his chair.
"Maybe, I want to sleep now." Paul put his head back and closed his eyes.
"Well you can sleep later; I want to get this over with. There is hockey on later and I want to watch it." Paul raised his brow and looked at the blue haired girl. She sighed, "yes I watch hockey but only when twinleaf plays. So can we work on it? Please," she went on her knees and begged.
Paul sighed in defeat, "Fine, let's go to my room. And before you say anything, your room is too pink for me to work in."
"Alright, let's go." Dawn skipped off cheerfully to Paul's bedroom with Paul dragging his feet following her.
"Gary, we have to main idea of the song, can we actually do something now." Leaf pleaded sitting on the side of her bed.
"No, because if we do, I don't want to end up doing something that I'll regret." He spun around in the chair at Leaf's desk. He crossed his arms.
"But it so boring here; we should go to the mall or the skate park. Anything to get out of this dorm room," she stood up and began to pace around the room.
"How about you clean up your room, there are candy wrappers and clothes everywhere," Gary smirk at his idea, and it was true, her room was a mess.
"I haven't had my own room since I was five, don't judge me!" Gary had struck a nerve. Leaf forced her tears back, remembering the night that she was put in the orphanage. Gary noticed what she was doing.
"I'm sorry Leaf; I didn't realize what I said. Don't cry." Gary stood up from the spinning chair and walked over to Leaf.
"It's okay; you didn't mean it or anything, just hurts remembering sometimes." Leaf put on a small smile, but it wasn't enough to foul Gary.
"Alright, let's go do something. Whatever you want," Gary pulled Leaf out of her room to the living room so they could go out to do something.
"Do you really need to film this?" an annoyed Drew asked the brunette hold the camera filming as they worked on the song.
"Yup," May chimed. "We seriously need to come up with something. What if it reflected how one of our lives was? So tell me what your life was like before you came to school here." May focused her camera on Drew.
"Simple, my parents were never home so the mansion seemed even bigger. I was forced to play piano, and then I met the guys. We formed a band. There wasn't much to it." May's chinned dropped Drew had it so much simpler than her. Drew reached over and closed her mouth. "Alright your turn, give me the camera." May handed him the video camera and took a deep breath.
"Well, my dad wants me to take over the gym in Petalburg where I am originally from. My mom wants me to be a model, although I don't want to do either. They say my music is just a phase. Before I came here they banned me from coming and left me to live with my aunt and uncle. They let me come here. If my parents found out I was here I don't know what would happen. So I grew up with my parents forcing me to do stuff, I was alone with my dreams." This times Drew's mouth was open, May closed it, "You'll catch flies if you keep that open."
"Well I think we found an idea we can expand on." Drew handed the camera back to May. "Wanna go get some food? I'm starving" Drew's stomach growled and he blushed slightly at the fact. May giggled, causing Drew to blush a little more.
"I'll go get my purse then we can go to a restaurant nearby." May walked out of Drew's room to get her purse.
"I meant something from the kitchen but okay." Drew grabbed his light purple sweater and walked out of his room.
"Ash, stop playing the drums we need to work on this song!" misty grabbed the drumsticks out of Ash's hands.
"But Mist, we already finished the music. We just need to come up with lyrics and we don't need to do the yet." Ash stood up from his red drum set and grabbed the drum sticks back. "So let me play."
"No, you've been playing for a half hour. You don't need to play anymore!" she tackled Ash to the ground. Ash rolled over causing him to be on top of Misty. "Ash, this doesn't look right." They both blushed; Ash got off of Misty still blushing.
"Sorry, I thought we were wrestling." He rubbed the back of his head and Misty sweat dropped. "I'm hungry, let's go get food."
"But where it looks like it's about to rain and the cafeteria is closed." Misty stood up and went to sit on the bed.
"There's a seafood restraint about five minutes to walk there if we take the short cut." Misty's eyed widened, she loved seafood. Everything to do with water she loved.
"What are we just standing here for, let's go!" Misty grabbed ash's arm and pulled him out the door to go to the restaurant.
"Paul, we have been doing this for hours. We have absolutely nothing." Dawn said sitting on the edge of Paul's bed with her acoustic guitar on her lap.
"Well what do you think we should do?" said Paul who was sitting next to her with his electric guitar on his lap.
"I don't know." Paul groaned at her response before falling backwards on his bed. Dawn began strumming at her guitar. Paul's head perked up hearing the tune.
Paul sat up and watched Dawn play her guitar with the sweet melody. "When'd you come up with that?" Dawn stopped playing and looked at him.
"My dad and I came up with it when I was little. He taught me how to play and we just made it up before he left to go on tour." Dawn's face dropped out of her smile. "After he left I came up with some of the lyrics, but I only got a few."
"Well, we have our tune; we can work on lyrics later." Paul stood up and placed his guitar back on the stand. He went back over to Dawn and sat right beside her. "I have a question for you though."
Dawn turned her head to Paul, "Shoot."
"If you and your dad wrote the music together, then why didn't you write the lyrics once he got back from tour?" Dawn suddenly became interested in the ground. Paul could hear sniffles coming from her. "What's wrong, I asked you a little question."
"My dad, h-he never got home from the tour. The bus crashed and no one on the bus survived." Dawn pulled her tears back; she didn't want to look stupid in front of Paul.
"Oh um..." Paul was unsure of what to do; he never really cheered anyone up, just made them more upset. He struggled but he put his arms around her, attempt to stop her from crying. "Sorry for bringing it up." he let go of Dawn and she had a slight blush on her face; she had stopped crying too. "I remember the last time you were in my bed you were just so attracted to me." He smirked.
"I was not! You have your facts all wrong!" she playfully punched his shoulder. Dawn took her guitar and put it on Paul's desk because she didn't want it broken. She went back to the bed and sat back down.
"I don't have my facts wrong. You were going to kiss me and then you used me as a pillow just wearing a bra and shorts." Dawn's face went red. "Aaaawww, so you remember."
"So what, it was hot and I was asleep. You can't blame me for it." Dawn crossed her arms and pouted. Paul leaned closer.
"Oh but I can, just face it; most girls can't resist the bad boy of a band." He whispered to her. Dawn smirked.
"If you hadn't noticed, I'm not like most girls." She stood up. "Let's go find something to eat, Cilan's too busy to make food."
"Alright, let's go." Paul stood up and the two teens walked out the door to go look for somewhere to eat.
Iris had just finished the third dance routine and decided to take a break. She walked out of her room and to the kitchen to get a drink. The scent of bread and pastries filled her nose the moment she stepped out her bedroom door.
"Cilan, what cha cooking?" she asked the cook that was covered in all types of spices and ingredients.
"Um let's see, I have made five types of bread, three types of rolls, ten different cakes and fifteen types of cookies. I am just about to finish the last batch of snack bars."
"Oh wow, so can I be a taste tester?" Iris gave her best cute face she could.
Cilan smiled, "Iris you don't need to put on a cute face to look cute. And ya everyone that lives here is a tester. But they all went out for lunch so when they get back you can eat them."
Iris blushed, Cilan just called her cute. "Um Cilan, since everyone else already went out do you want to as well? You know take a break from cooking."
"Sure let me just get washed off." With that Cilan went off to his room to clean off all the mess he had made on himself.
A few minutes later Cilan was back at the kitchen. "Alright I'm ready to go. I know the perfect restaurant to take you. Shall we?" Cilan held out his hand for Iris, she blushed and took his hand.
"We shall." They smiled and went off to the restaurant Cilan had mentioned.
After an hour everyone was back at the dorm other than Gary and Leaf. They were still out walking through the town. "Leaf, what time is it? We've been walking around for hours." Gary was whining well Leaf just kept walking without a care in the world.
Leaf pushed her sleeve up to look at her green watch. "It's just after 7." She put her arm back at her side. "Wait here for a minute; I need to go to the bathroom."
"Alright, I'll go sit over at one of the tables outside the café. Meet me there then we can head back to school." Leaf went over to the bathroom while Gary began to head over to café when Summer walked up to him.
"Hey Gar-bear, need a walking buddy?" Summer asked him.
He sighed, "Summer, I don't need anybody to be with." He found a table and sat down. Summer stood behind him and put her arms around his neck.
"Oh, come on Gar-bear. Why don't you like this anymore? You love it when girls do this." She pouted and put her head on Gary's shoulder.
"I don't want you to; I don't want anyone to, so get off me." There was anger in his voice. She stayed where she was.
Leaf finished in the bathroom and headed to the café. She saw a girl on Gary and was about to go yell at him when she heard him telling her to get off because he didn't want any girl on him. She walked up to her and gave them both a look that said 'you've got to be kidding me'.
"Leaf, this isn't what it looks like. I want her to get off." Gary tried to shake off Summer.
"Gar-bear stop it. You know you asked me too." Summer pouted again.
"Oh please Summer, I heard him. So get off my date," Leaf crossed her arms and trotted over beside them.
"If he is your date then prove it." she finally detached from Gary and crossed her arms. Leaf smirked and sat on Gary's lap facing him. Leaf kissed Gary full on. Gary was shocked at what Leaf did because he still had another day before the deal was completed. He eventually just went with the kiss. They heard Summer growl before stomping away.
They pulled away from the kiss once sure she was completely gone. "Well someone's jealous now aren't they?" Gary smirked.
Leaf blushed, "shut up, I did it to get her away from you."
"Because you were jealous," Gary continued to smirk.
"Was not" Leaf pouted and crossed her arms.
"Then would you mind if I did this?" before anything could be said Gary pulled Leaf back into a kiss; she pulled away instantly.
"Gary you just lost the deal. You had another day."
"Damnit! I thought it was today was when it ended!"
"You still tried so that counts, I guess." Leaf smiled at Gary who smiled back as big as he could.
"In that case, Ms. Leaf Green, would you do me the honor of going on a date with me tomorrow night?" Leaf put her index finger on her chin and thought for a moment before doing anything.
"I would love to. Now let's go back to school. Cilan has been cooking all day and I think we get to eat it." Leaf got off Gary and Gary stood up offering Leaf his hand. She took it and they walked back to the dorm together chatting the whole way.
Alright done chapter 11, Hope you all enjoyed it.
