Divine Diva

Chapter 24

The Thing between Her, Him and Him

Sorry to say this again but this chapter is short but very very very very very very very very very very very very X1000000 important chapter. Please don't complain.

Oh and Kenny's going to come out (finally) next chapter.

This story is progressing faster than I thought….

To pokemonredshipp;

Yes, they do know each other. Also the storm, you guess it right. There is going to be a storm, which lasts about um, 9 months?

Anyway, people, just review! I am getting less these days!

The song; magnet was a huge hit. Everywhere Leaf went was that song coming out.

"I can't believe they are playing this song in an ice cream shop! There are kids here!" Leaf said, pushing her sunglasses up higher.

"Keep it low, they will hear you." Dawn warned, she then sighed.

"I can't believe I gave up the freedom just to sing in front of people. Not that I'm regretting it just I miss the old days sometimes." Leaf said with a long sigh.

"Me too. But I really like my life." May said with a smile.

"How so? Any boy that caught your attention?" Leaf smirked and earned a genuine frown from May.

"No. In fact I will have to tell you that I think boys are useless and I hate having loving relationship. I just hate them." May said.

"You seemed to get along fine with Ash and other guys." Leaf pointed out.

"They are friends, not a guy who likes me or something."

Leaf nodded, understandingly, "True, true. So are you guys ready for the last year of high school? It's only a week away." Leaf said and the other two groaned.

"Why did you have to bring that out? We were having a fine time and then with your 'magic word' our happiness got ruined!" May said like it was the end of the world.

"Jeez, such a drama queen." Leaf said and Dawn giggled.

"Everything fine with Drew, hun?" Leaf asked Dawn.

"Well I guess. He's being really nice to me these days and I am happy for it." Dawn smiled at the thought of her boyfriend.

"No, no, no. No offense but he's not a man for you, I can feel it." May said shaking her index finger.

"What do you know about romance? You don't even watch romance movies or romance novels." Dawn said with a frown.

"Well I have this feeling, he's not for you. Someone else is. I bet 50$ that you will be breaking up with him in 6 months." May said.

"I bet not. 60." Leaf said with a smirk.

"You guys are nuts." Dawn said and they all laughed.

Misty/Marina

The two cousins were sitting on the beach of Sunyshore, looking at the view of the wide ocean.

"I can't believe school is going to start soon." Misty said as she returned the fan who she just signed her book.

"Me too! It feels like just yesterday when the vacation started. I can't believe we will be going to college next year? And…." Marina looked down slightly.

"No need to say that. We all agreed on that." Misty said still looking at the horizon.

"Whatever. I wonder if Jimmy and I will be still dating next year. I hope we do, I am really happy with him. He's the best guy I've ever met!" Marina exclaimed and sighed.

"I thought Drew was your favorite member in BLACK ROCK SHOOTER, why the sudden change?" Misty asked.

"When I looked at Drew it was more like idolizing him. He was like the star that I could never reach, someone I look up too and destined to do. Drew still feels like that now, but Jimmy, he's a star too but the star that glows less, but glows only for me. Only me and no one else." Marina said with a smile.

"Really? Huh, you must love him a lot." Misty said.

"I do. And, I heard Gary and Paul-. Never mind what I just said." Marina said.

"What about them? Is something wrong?" Misty asked, looking at her cousin.

"Nothing wrong. They are really a great friends, aren't they?" Marina asked with a calm smile.

"Well Gary is nice except when he's flirtatious and Paul's nice when he's not grumpy." Misty said.

"That means Paul's always not nice. He's always grumpy." Marina smirked and Misty laughed a little.

"I hope I can see Jimmy everyday. It would be nice if he moves school." Marina said.

"We can move." Misty said.

"No dorm, remember?" Marina reminded Misty and she replied, 'oh yeah.'

"I think something's wrong with Paul." Misty commented and Marina flinched, recalling the conversation that Gary and Paul had. Why did it have to be her? Why did it have to be her who knows the secret and takes responsibility to it?

Should she tell Misty? No then she would accuse Paul and he would be with his angry face that she was scared of.

Should she tell May? No she wouldn't even accuse Paul she would kill him instantly.

Leaf? No. Zoey? Same with May. Dawn…. She was the one who was in this but she doesn't know about Paul's feeling toward her. What was she supposed to do? Marina felt like her head was going to explode but she knew that if this keeps going on Paul would explode and hurt someone. Drew? Dawn? Both? Or maybe even himself.

"Marina, is something wrong?" Misty asked her cousin who had a hard grip on her hair.

"No, I was just, um, never mind. We should go, I have to finish that stupid summer reading." Marina said as she stood up and without even waiting for her cousin, Marina she hurried to her house. Misty was getting suspicious of her cousin but said nothing.

Veilstone

"Are we sure about this?" Jimmy asked.

"If you want to stay then you can." Drew said, who just returned from Hoenn.

"I never said that. But you know, I'm just double-checking." Jimmy said.

"There's no need for you to double-check." Paul grumbled.

"Stop with the grumbling Paul. You are being weird these days." Drew said and Paul shot him a deadly glare. God, how annoying.

"Mind your own business, grasshead." Paul spat and walked to his room.

"Seriously, what's with him?" Drew said, annoyed by his best friend, or perhaps used-to-be-best-friend.

"Who knows, let's just get going." Gary said, feeling slightly guilty and sorry about Drew.

"So, next week?" Ash asked.

"Yes, get ready." Drew said and returned to his room to start packing.

The day before new school year, St. Agnes Academy

"We are back! But not our crappy old room, to our brand new room!" Leaf said with a loud squeal and so did other girls. Being the senior, they get the top floor, plus the room is a bit bigger. Only a bit but it was a lot to the girls.

"Let's start to get unpacked and go to eat something." Dawn suggested and they all agreed. After they were done with unpacking their books they went out of the dorm to the convenience store to get something to eat but saw a crowd of people gathered in front of the Boys' Dormitory.

"Wonder what's going on." Dawn said, her hands inside her pink sleeveless hoodie jacket's pocket.

"Let's check it out after we get the food." May said and after they got the snacks they walked t the boys' dorm but like a Moses' Miracle or something they students made a road for them.

"What's going on?" Marina asked, looked up and dropped her snacks. She immediately ran to the entrance of the boys' dorm and hugged her boyfriend standing there with suitcases next to him.

Dawn brightened up when she spotted Drew and ran to tackle him down to the ground.

"Dawn! I missed you!" Drew said giving her a peck on the lips. Paul growled silently. Dawn giggled and pecked his cheek as well.

Drew sat up while having one of his hand around her waist. "You missed me that much? To tackle me down? Wow, I'm really happy." Drew said slightly pinching her cheek.

"Yeah I missed you. But what brings you here?" Dawn asked as she got off her boyfriend and rest of her friends next to her.

"We moved our school. To be with you girls!" Gary said and smiled at Leaf who blushed slightly.

Students, especially the girls, squealed in delight when they heard that BLACK ROCK SHOOTER is going to the same school as them.

"Great, getting flirted by the playboy more than once a week was exactly a thing I needed!" Leaf said, sarcasm rubbed on her voice.

"You know how much I love you right?" Gary said as he put his arm around her shoulder. In normal situation she would have just pushed it off but this was practically in front of the whole school! Leaf, without thinking kicked his man pride and ran off. Gary fell on the ground.

"Poor fella, there goes his descendants." Ash said, munching down the doughnut while Jimmy dragged him to the nurse's office with Marina.

"Hey!" They turned around and Dawn mentally groaned. Ursula, the peach haired bitch was coming to them.

"Hi!" Ursula said to them while completely ignoring the girls' glare.

Her sidekicks, Melody and Chocho were already flirting with them. Melody was with Ash and Chocho was to Drew, in front of Dawn. Drew tried his best to ignore the girl and was flirting with his girlfriend.

Ursula walked up to Paul and did a tip toe to kiss his cheek. The crowd gasped at her action while Paul, disgusted at her action picked up his bag and headed inside, constantly wiping his cheek while entering.

"Paul Shinji is mine everyone! MINE!" Ursula shouted while some people whistled, some scoffed and some snorted. The girls were smirking, 'You? You think you have a chance with Paul when he is in completely in love with the blunette you hate so much? Yeah right.'

Paul sat on the bottom bunk of the room and kept on wiping his cheek. Drew, Ash and Jimmy entered.

"Is Gary alright?" Paul asked.

"I guess but Leaf kicked pretty hard. I told him never to flirt with her again but he said, 'the pain is worth it'. It's either he loves her that much or our friend is a masochistic pervert." Jimmy said as he claimed the bunk which was across Paul's.

"There's a bunk left." Drew said, looking up.

"We can call him." Ash suggested.

"Do you really think he will come? Remember all the glorious failures we had to convince him to move in with us?" Jimmy asked.

"Maybe not." Ash said scratching the back of his head.

"Don't worry. He will." Paul said with an evil smirk.

"What are you planning, Paul?" Jimmy asked with a gulp.

"Something." Paul said, glaring at Drew, who wasn't noticing this.

Don't care if she will get hurt now

I am breaking them up

Few days later, September 2nd

The guys were hanging out with the girls all the time. Well not that they didn't make new friends, Drew, being really social made the whole school his friend. Dawn was not jealous though she thought that he had the freedom to make as much as friends he want to have.

"You know, out of Veilstone, it is really nice." Gary said.

"Yeah I was pretty sick of that place, no offense, Paul." Ash said who didn't even reply. He was writing down something on his notebook. Everyone thought it was chemistry homework. Gary glanced at it and gulped, realizing that it wasn't.

"Paul, are you serious?" Gary leaned over and asked.

"Yes." Paul replied and grunted.

"She might hate you after you do this." Gary reminded.

"Don't care." Paul growled as he scratched something out and scribbled something next to it.

"Then why do you need him in this plan?" Gary asked.

"You will see." Paul, being weirdly talkative today, answered.

Gary sighed, returned to his lunch and half-heartedly ate his sandwich while staring at Drew and Dawn, feeling very guilty.

Gary followed Paul to his class, getting all the attention from the students, he caught Paul and grabbed his shoulder.

"What are you doing here? Your class is other way." Paul said.

"Well your plan matters more I guess. Are you serious about this? She will hate you." Gary said.

"Whatever."

"And this plan has lots of flaws. It might not even work."

"I'm doing it anyway, I will need your help."

"For your information, Leaf is in Divine Diva and I don't seriously want to make a bad impression on her. You saw what she did to me few days ago!" Gary shivered and sighed.

"Just to let you know I didn't do anything for you to make a plan. All I did was to say that you can do it if you want to. It's not me who made you do it." Gary said.

"I know."

Few days later

Dawn was having a normal class except she could feel Paul's glare upon her.

'What's his problem? Did I do-done- something wrong?' She wondered to herself nervously and as the bell rang, she stood up and walked out of the class as fast as she could when a cold hand grabbed her wrist, she turned around to face Paul.

"Paul? I need to go." Dawn said, trying to pull her hand away. But his grip was strong and hard so she couldn't get out. 'Great, school is over and I'm stuck here.' Dawn thought and looked around, they were obviously grabbing attention from people.

Paul looked around too, when he saw lots of people surrounding them, he smirked,

"I, Paul Shinji, the leader of BLACK ROCK SHOOTER challenge Dawn Berlitz of Divine Diva to a singing battle."

The last part sounded kinda weird but I hope you all get what I'm trying to say.

Well, next chapter is something that I was planning for a loooooooooooooooooooooong time, even before the story itself started so I really can't believe that I am actually writing it~~~!^^ (squeals)

And sorry for the short chapter let's just hope the next chapter will be long.
