Dawn stared up at the purple haired boy with confused look.
"What do you mean?" Dawn asked.
"Your group and my group. Sing and let the students have a vote who's better." Paul said with a glare.
Dawn looked around, he chose to say it in front of others so she won't refuse. She gulped and nodded.
Paul smirked, "Next week Friday." He said and walked off, his fan girls following him.
"What was that for?" She asked herself and walked to the dorm.
She then told her friends of what Paul said, they looked at her weirdly.
"Okay, he lost it." Zoey said, throwing her arms in the air.
"What do you mean?" Dawn asked.
"Oh you will see. Just to tell you that he had his jealousy consume him and take control of him." Leaf said with annoyed tone.
"Jealous? Of what?" Dawn looked confused.
"You will see. I, I mean, we cannot tell you." Leaf said and when Dawn was about to question more Leaf glared at her to shut her up. Leaf sighed, threw her hands up in the air in frustration.
"I can't believe guys did this to us!" Leaf shouted and some colorful vocabulary came out of her mouth.
"Seriously? What do they think we are? Bunch of girl trying to sing?" May didn't look so happy either. She glared down at the poor floor who hadn't done anything. She clearly looked mad, because of Paul, that plumhead bastard, May's good mood was now gone.
"So, Zoey, any great ideas about the song?" May asked with sarcasm.
"Sorry Miss Maple but I need time. Or you can use the songs I wrote long time ago, I can edit them. Though I need to say they are mostly-"
"Inappropriate? You are an expert at that, I doubt it matters anyway. We are used to it. But don't tell me it's your secret weapon." Misty said.
"I am not letting that happen now! This is rather a small stage you know!" Zoey shouted from her bunk. Like last year the right bunk's top was Zoey's then May, and the bottom was Dawn. The left bunk's top was Misty this time and Leaf then Marina.
"Can we talk about this later? Are you sure the guys know about this too? What if it was only Paul's idea?" Marina asked.
"You are saying that because you want to be on your precious boyfriend's side." May said.
"I like him a lot, just in case you forgot. He is my boyfriend. And Leaf you know you like Gary." Marina teased.
"Yes, I admit it. But that doesn't mean I should forgive whatever he is doing." Leaf said and Marina and Misty looked pretty surprised to hear that out of Leaf's own mouth.
"Wow never thought you would admit it." Misty said.
"Not in front of Gary. Never." Leaf growled as she rolled around in her bed.
"So, now there are three-"
"Two. I am sure Drew and Dawn are breaking up." May said.
"I said they won't! Right Dawn?" Dawn wasn't listening to Leaf though. She was too confused with all the words flying around her that she couldn't concentrate on one thing. Such as her history homework.
"Guys, I'm going to take walk." Dawn said as she stumbled up and walked out the door.
With the guys
The guys blinked up at Paul.
"You are insane. Are you seriously expecting us to follow your orders? Those girls are our friends and some are girlfriends! And one of them are a love interest." Ash said.
"Kenny is coming. Is that a deal?" Paul asked.
The guys blinked even more. Paul? Seriously? Well maybe he yelled at Kenny to come or else he would rip his guts out but really? Kenny got convinced? Actually convinced to move school from Snowpoint to St. Agnes? How did he even do that?
"How?" All five asked.
"I told him I need a song, I mean, we need a song and we need full directing instead of cyber directing. I also told him that we are challenging Divine Diva and that made him come." Paul said.
"Wonder why." Drew said under his breath.
"So, if he's coming, when is he coming?" Jimmy asked.
"The day of the challenge. He needs to get packed, sign something so he can move school and other things, remember?" Paul said as he sat down on his bunk, which was bottom one.
"So, our song is that one, right? The one Kenny sent for our album that we practiced and the release is next month." Ash blabbered and the rest sweatdropped but all agreed.
"When do we start practicing?" Jimmy asked.
"Now." Paul said as he stood up, making everyone groan.
"Do we have to?" Gary asked.
"Yes!" Paul barked and they all headed to somewhere where they can practice, the auditorium.
With the girls
Marina called her boyfriend but he didn't answer.
"This is the first time he didn't answer my call! How could he?" Marina was frustrated.
"Girl, he can be busy, like doing his homework. Or um, maybe, just you know…." Misty said.
"What if he's not? What if he never liked me in the first place?" Marina asked, looking about to cry.
"He did like you, I can see it in his eyes he must be practicing with Paul and his friends. You know he's a part of Paul's team. He's playing the keyboards." May pointed out.
"What about her boyfriend? Dawn, did you call him?" Marina asked, almost panicking.
"Maybe we should just practice. I will talk to him tomorrow. It's Saturday, I can ask him out on a date." Dawn said doing a stretch. She just returned from her walk and was looking pretty tired.
"Show me the lyrics." Dawn demanded the lyrics of the song from Zoey who handed her a music sheet and frowned.
"What's with Paul? Dawn I'm asking this again, if he is jealous then he could um you know, just tell what he is jealous of but instead he's just putting a challenge? What is he planning." Zoey said.
"I don't know what he is jealous of but I'm sure he can just tell. Maybe Drew knows…."
Saturday Solaceon Town, Dawn and Drew
Dawn and Drew walked to the theater in Solaceon Town.
Dawn was wearing a white frilly short sleeved one piece dress and sandals with her pink purse. Around her neck was Drew's gift hanging on it. Drew had his usual black t-shirt, purple jacket and green pants. To Dawn he looked hot on anything. She smiled to herself and straightened up.
"Drew, I have a question." Dawn started.
"It's about Paul, right?" Drew asked, his hands stuffed in his pockets.
"Well, yes."
"What about him? But for once I don't know what he is planning either. He was just like 'I challenged the girls, you are okay with it, right?' and of course I wasn't okay with it! He was challenging you!" Drew looked upset.
"Drew." Drew looked down at the girl.
"The girls told me that he's jealous, what is he jealous of?" Drew shrugged.
"Dawn, I honestly don't know. It seemed that Gary is the only one who knows about it but he wouldn't tell me. Or any of us." Drew said with an annoyed face.
"But whatever he is planning isn't good. I've got bad feeling about this." Drew said sadly. Dawn looked down and then slid her arm between his arm and his body so she was clinging onto him. He looked down and placed a soft kiss on top of her head.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I won't let anyone hurt you Dawn." Drew said as they walked down to the theater.
After the movie was over they walked back to the dorm immediately. They didn't talk much, they were holding hands though, savoring every moment they were having. When they entered the school gate they spotted Paul, sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, smoking.
"You should really stop smoking you know." Drew said. Dawn tilted her head.
"None of your business." Paul answered with a glare.
"Besides, it's my first time smoking ever since April. I've been too busy to smoke and I was craving for this." Paul said with a smirk and with a roll of the eyes, Drew walked away, dragging Dawn along with him, which Dawn was thankful of. She just got sick when she smelled the cigarettes.
Drew and Dawn parted away and when she returned to the room her friends asked if Dawn found anything out but Dawn just shook her head.
"Paul didn't even tell Drew. Gary's the only one who knows this but he isn't willing to tell either." Everyone turned to see Leaf, who gulped and laughed nervously.
"Do I have to?" She asked.
"Or we can wait until the challenge is over. We are going to sing in front of the whole school and they are going to vote who is better. Anyway, we can wait until then." Leaf rolled her eyes at Zoey's comment.
"Can't we then just wait?"
"Just because we wait doesn't mean that we are getting the answer out of him." May pointed out and Leaf groaned.
"Fine, I will talk to him Monday." She earned venomous glares.
"Fine! Tomorrow!" The girls then grinned, looking very satisfied with the answer.
She pulled her phone out and called Gary, who answered about after 3 rings.
"Hi Leaf!" He sounded happy that she called her but she could hear tiresome in his voice.
"Um, is it okay if I called in a time like this?" She asked.
"It's not even dinner yet, I'm fine." Gary replied. No flirtatious tone. 'He must be too tired to even flirt. Wow, that's something'
"I wanted to ask if it would be alright for you to take me to a movie tomorrow?" Leaf asked glancing at her friends who were grinning and snickering.
"Really? That's something. Yeah, sure, no I really need to go. Bye." With that Leaf got a schedule on Sunday.
Leaf got dressed in a green T-shirt, orange hoodie jacket and dark blue jeans. She took out a pair of blue sneakers and put them on.
"Don't you think you should wear something more, um, dazzling?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah, after all it is sort of a date." Marina said.
"Don't care. I am not showing off that I like him. Now have fun practicing." Leaf said and with that she was gone.
"Are we going to dance in this song?" Dawn suddenly asked Zoey who shook her head.
"Although crowd will appreciate few gestures."
Leaf walked to front of the school building. The dorm were at the both sides of the school building so when students at St. Agnes have a date or an arrangement they would meet in front of the school building's entrance.
She waited until she sat the boy with something like hedgehog on his head. She chuckled at the thought that there is a hedgehog replacing Gary's hair.
"Sorry I'm a little late." Gary said as he scratched back of his neck. Leaf smiled and they walked off.
They talked about a lot of things that Leaf almost forgot the purpose of this date. She cleared her throat, looked up at him,
"Gary, do you know why Paul just suddenly challenged us to this?" She asked.
"No." Gary said almost immediately like he was expecting this question. Leaf quickly caught guiltiness in his eyes.
"But Drew said you know it. Please? Can you tell me?" Gary glanced down and saw Leaf, her eyes like a small kitten and her lips pouting. Now what kind of idiot could resist that?
"Alright, alright, I will tell you!" Gary said blushing furiously. Leaf beamed and gave him a hug, causing him to blush even more.
"Um, will you please let go of me?" He asked politely as possible and she released the poor brunette with a giggle.
They sat down on a nearby ice cream parlor and Gary cleared his throat to start.
"You can know but not Dawn." Gary first said.
"Why not?" Leaf asked.
"You will see." Gary then started,
"I told Paul that if he want to confess his feeling to Dawn he will need to wait until they break up. That started it." Leaf raised her eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"Paul's jealousy got turned to anger, he's trying to break them up by himself." Leaf groaned.
"And you are just watching it? You don't care if he breaks Drew and Dawn's heart?" Leaf asked in a harsh voice, trying not to grab any attention as possible.
"I care. But it's not like I can stop him now. The whole school talking about it and I do not want to ruin Paul's plan. He started it and he should end it." Leaf groaned in frustration.
"Are you mad at me?" Gary asked carefully.
"No, I'm fine. It's okay, you are right. He should end it." Leaf said, controlling her anger.
"Don't tell them I said it, and do not tell your friend. Dawn, I meant." Gary said.
"I know. This is something that I would regret telling her." Leaf said with another frustrated sigh.
"Thanks for telling me though." Leaf said with a smile.
"I couldn't resist to that pouting of yours." Gary smiled making Leaf blush.
"Was I that cute?" Leaf asked and Gary nodded. They stood up and walked out of the ice cream parlor and headed back to the school. When they reached the gate suddenly Gary stopped walking.
"What's wrong?" Leaf asked.
"Can I kiss you?" Gary asked, very careful.
Leaf hesitated a little. She looked at Gary who was waiting for the answer while looking down. She walked up to him and closed her eyes. Gary smiled and leaned down to kiss the brunette.
"Good luck." She said through the kiss.
"You too." He answered and kissed her some more.
Leaf returned to the dorm room, seeing her friends singing. They stopped immediately when they spotted Leaf.
"What did he say?" They were more curious about his answer than her date.
"Um, he said he didn't know much but Paul was jealous then it turned to anger. That's all he said." Leaf said and glanced at Zoey.
When the practice was over Zoey called Leaf over to have a private conversation.
"Okay, what is it?" Zoey asked.
"Paul's trying to break them to up. I don't know what this has got anything to do with this but Gary said Paul's primary goal is to break the two up." Leaf said quickly. Zoey frowned.
"I am not getting involved into this matter. This is the thing between those three why in the world should we get involved? I mean, they are our friends but romance is something that we should never interfere unless our friend is dating a human trash." Zoey said.
"True true but I'm just worried about Dawn that's all." Leaf sighed and so did Zoey.
"May the odds be ever in our favor." Leaf whispered and the two returned to their friends.
Dawn sighed, 'What is Paul jealous of anyway? Ugh, if only they tell me….' Dawn sighed again and turned the lights off, 'Time to sleep Dee Dee.' She smirked and fell asleep.
Friday afternoon
The girls were in school uniform. But they were not their school uniforms, something different, they bought this for it.
Dawn was wearing pale pink short sleeved blouse with white collar and ribbon. Her skirt was grey pleated skirt with thin black stripes near the bottom. Her hair was down, without any hair clips.
May had short sleeved red blouse with pink collars and sleeve ends and had hot pink pleated skirt. May was without her bandanna.
Leaf had black sailor top with white collar that had thin black stripes and scarf of same colors as the collar hanging onto the collar. She had white pleated skirt with two thin black stripes near the bottom of the skirt.
Marina sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror, she was wearing navy short sleeved blouse with white collar and ribbon, her skirt was grey pleated skirt with two thin white stripes near the bottom. Marina had her hair down too.
Lastly Misty had rather simple outfit. Her white short sleeved blouse had nothing, and her skirt was plain black. She looked really nice in it though. Misty rather liked this outfit. She had her hair down this time as well.
"Are you girls ready?" Zoey asked coming in.
"Almost." The girls said, still not able to believe they are in this matter.
"You look really cute." Zoey commented.
"Thanks." The girls said but they didn't really seem to be in good mood.
"Dawn, May, come out. Someone's here to meet you." Zoey said. The girls all walked out of the dressing room and saw a boy with reddish brown hair, he had his back to the girls. He was directing the students what to do and all. He had a green polo shirt and beige pants. He turned around and beamed.
"Dawn, May!" He said with his arms spread in greeting.
"Kenny!" May and Dawn gasped as they ran and tackled the boy down to the floor.
"Hey get off! Drew's here you know!" Kenny said as he sat up.
"What are you doing here?" Dawn asked as she got up and helped him stand up. May stood up as well.
"Well, I am here because-"
"Kenny!" They heard someone bark and turned to see Paul. Paul was in black button up shirt with top few buttons unbuttoned and black jeans.
"Oh great, anything wrong, your grumpiness?" Kenny asked. The girls looked confused. Leaf, Marina and Misty secretly walked to Zoey and asked who the brunette was and Zoey told them he was their childhood friend, Kenny. Misty chuckled at Kenny's words to Paul, she never guessed someone would have guts to talk to Paul that way.
"No." Paul said and looked at him and then Dawn.
"You guys know each other?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes. We are from the same-" Dawn was about to say 'orphanage' but Kenny cut her off,
"Elementary school. We are childhood friends." Kenny said.
"All of you?" Paul asked.
"Well, Me, May, Zoey and DeeDee are." Kenny said.
"What's with the old nickname?" Dawn asked, annoyed.
"I like to see your reaction." Kenny said with a smirk. Paul glared, shook his head in annoyance and walked away.
"Anyway, what's with cutting her off?" May asked.
"Well if he figures out that I'm from an orphanage he will stop working with me." Kenny said in harsh tone.
"What do you mean? He knows that we are from orphanage and he didn't seem to have problem with it." Zoey said walking over to them.
"Really? That's really strange." Kenny said scratching back of his neck.
"Why?" May asked.
"I mentioned orphans once and looks on his face was something that you would never want to see again." Kenny said shuttering a little. May frowned and so did Dawn.
"And you are working together?" Leaf asked, coming over to him.
"Yes." Kenny answered, knowing who she was.
"Wait, working together? With what?" May asked, now seeing that this was a bit weird.
"Um, writing some stupid songs for him? Duh." Kenny answered.
"Wait, does that mean-" Dawn gasped.
"Yes, I am Penguin. The Penguin to be exact." He said, rolling his eyes.
"Wow! You are the producer who wrote the song, Witch? I had so much fun singing that song! Why didn't you show up?" May asked.
"Uh, I was busy. Goa P there did some wicked job with cLick cRack too." Kenny said with a smile.
Zoey blushed a little at his compliment.
"And the producer name…. Very pretty." Kenny added and Zoey blushed a little more.
"Dawn, how's it going?" Drew came over. He was wearing purple button up shirt and navy blue jeans.
"Oh, fine." Dawn said as Kenny called her DeeDee once more and she yelled not to call her by that stupid nickname.
"You two know each other?" Drew asked.
"Actually Kenny, I, Zoey and May are from same orphanage." Dawn explained.
"Oh, I see. Why didn't you tell us though?" Drew asked.
"Paul would kick me out, duh." Kenny replied with annoyed voice.
Drew was about to say something but the student in charge of lights called and Drew walked to him.
"Well, good luck DeeDee, you too May-May." Kenny said as he walked away.
"What's with him and stupid nicknames?" May asked and Dawn shrugged.
"Glad he didn't call mine." Zoey said with a little sigh.
The ten faced each other at the stage.
"Flip a coin, which side?" Zoey asked.
"Back." Dawn said.
"Head." Paul answered. Zoey tossed a coin and caught it.
"Head. Choose the order." Zoey said.
"You girls go first, after all, it's 'ladies first'." Paul said and the rest walked to the back stage. Jimmy glanced behind, smiled at Marina and disappeared to the backstage.
Some students climbed upstage and put the stand mikes on the stage and walked back down.
A music that felt like it was in some kind of movie started to feel the auditorium. The boys were now sitting on the very front row, watching the girls.
Dawn cleared her throat a little and flashed a smile at the crowd and with a mesmerizing voice she started to sing,
"Ready set, I am waiting with cute little lingerie today…" Dawn said with a smile.
May smirked at the crowd, "If not I will prepare red, white, black all of them…"
Leaf sang, the song was getting bit intense, "You want inside me, this fake love between us is just getting thirsty, right?" she asked-sang as she put the back of her hand on her temple.
Misty sang, "Then rather just treat me like a toy, like emotions are useless and fill it with lust."
Dawn sang, "'Hey, let me hear more' the egoism searching for purring.
Pretty obvious we can only live like this." She shrugged.
Marina sang, "'Hey, teach me more' realism searching for form.
Better than I thought, this that other all are dream." Marina did a little twirl.
All five sang into the mike, "Aah, the night is coming."
Interlude and the students cheered and whistled. Paul glared at the girls but none of them noticed this.
Leaf sang, "The gears are ready, barely in line.
Or do you like uniform better?" Leaf asked as she pulled her uniform top a little.
Marina sang, "Wait a moment! This is nervous so don't treat it warm, eat me up." Jimmy frowned at her line. He didn't like her singing these kinds of songs.
Dawn sang with the music getting intense again, "Only sadness, I don't want any story, acting is enough."
May sang, "Then rather treat me like a slave, with realistic melting down,"
All five sang, "Give all the lust."
Dawn sang, "'Hey, save some more' forget me and dance like mad.
If you are hungry, you obviously want it." Drew sighed.
Misty sang, "'Hey, don't leave me alone' cynicism with sudden comeback.
More tired than I thought. Eh? Eh? Something more?"
All five sang, "Just melt into darkness."
The music became a bit quiet as everyone except for Dawn sang,
"'Hey, let me hear more' the egoism searching for purring.
Pretty obvious we can only live like this."
Dawn alone sang, "'More, more, love me more' the heart's wall breaking
This is pretty hard, this, that other all are dreaming.
The night is coming again."
The singing stopped as the girls moved their body along with the beat and everyone clapped and cheered.
"Thank you for listening to Zoey's new song.
'I'm your personal own actress'." The girls bowed and they left the stage. The curtain went down for a moment so they could set up instruments for the boys.
The girls went to take a seat when Drew grabbed Dawn by her arm.
"Don't be like someone who was in that song." Drew said.
"I won't, I will never be." Dawn promised and they shared a kiss. Who would have thought that this was their last kiss….
The boys got readied to play as the girls from the crowd screamed at the top of their lungs. Paul tested his guitar a little and so did Drew. Ash touched the drums and did a satisfied smile.
"Never thought I would do this but I will thank our music producer, Kenny, Penguin P for this." Paul said, well almost whispered into the mike. Kenny snickered at him and nodded.
Paul started to play the guitar, Jimmy played the keyboard and Gary played the base.
The five sang to the mike, "To sail across the love ocean."
Paul sang, "The one that will find the treasure of love"
Ash, "That is hidden beyond the world is Maybe"
All sang, "It's me"
Jimmy, "It's me." (Lady)
Gary, "It's me"
Drew, "It's me."
All five sang, "It will definitely be me!"
"Wow oh… I'm in search of love
Wow oh…
Wow oh…"
Ash sang, "The sound of the wave roaring at five in the morning,
Gotta start off at the single ship's starboard
We jeer that our hands've gone numb from cold.
We've taken a bite of the nasty sand."
(Wow oh… I'm in search of life. Wow oh… Wow oh…)
Silent guitar,
Paul, "It's certain that this world as in the Age of Discovery
Everybody is struggling in the sea of words."
Gary sang, "Even a map doesn't know what the future holds.
Let's boldly stand against the storm with hands exploring out."
Jimmy sang, "Equipped with a weapon of a singing voice
We've gathered under the flag that we call the Dream."
Drew said tough he didn't look too happy singing, "I'll let you take charge destination
Now, raise the anchor!"
All sang, "Love Treasure!"
Paul sang, "We can't just sit still through this.
A headwind
Set the sails
Calamity is the perfect chance."
Gary sang, "So that you won't be lost anymore
A lighthouse will illuminate a path for you
What burns with passion
Is a crimson RUBY."
All five shouted into the mike, "Love Treasure!"
Jimmy sang, "The compass of my heart is pointing to the proper place
Head straight forward!"
Drew sang, "Even if people mock me
I won't doubt myself, no
A wavering stone is a deep blue SAPPHIRE."
Ash sang, "Let's obtain the Love Treasure."
All five chanted, "Wow oh… I' m in search of love Wow oh… Wow oh…
(Wow oh… I' m in search of life Wow oh… Wow oh… )
Ash did a rap, "North ,south, east, and west; which way is tomorrow.
Giving up will lead to THE END.
Wisdom is an aquamarine EMERALD
Let's keep going again and again you and I!"
Silent guitar
Gary sang, "Although we've lived without doubt
That the Earth was a round thing."
Paul sang, "We still don't know a single thing
About what's beyond the horizon."
Drew sang, "If the sea is calm, the ship comes to a stop
But if the sea is wild, chaos befalls on the ship."
Jimmy sang, "It's just like how it is between us and you
Now, let's aim for the New World!"
The five sang, "Love Treasure!"
Ash sang, "It can't be stopped, slowly and gently
Fight with full force the fate that's been chosen for you."
Paul sang, "We'll show you a scenery
That you can't see when you're on your own
The inflating trust is a lightning-violet AMETHYST."
All sang, "Love Treasure!"
Gary sang, "Turn over the globe
The captivated common sense is your imagination's shackles."
Jimmy sang, "Even without wings
The wall can be conquered
The energetic courage is a twilight TOPAZ."
Drew sang quietly into the mike, "We'll obtain the Love Treasure."
During the interlude there were cheering from the crowd and the boys were singing 'oh' and 'woah' and things like that if you know what I mean.
Paul sang, "At the end of our hardship was a sandy plain without a single treasure box."
Gary sang, "In the midst of our discouragement, you pointed behind us…."
Jimmy sang with quiet and calm voice, "There it was, a number of our adventures were glimmering brightly just like a jewel."
Ash sang, "Within them all, you were there."
Drew sang, "You were always there for us!"
All five of them sang, "Love Treasure!
What we were searching for
Has been nearby since the very beginning
What was hidden beyond the world
Was an eternal tear's DIAMOND.
You are truly the LOVE TREASURE."
"Wow oh… I' m in search of love Wow oh… Wow oh…
Wow oh… I' m in search of life Wow oh… Wow oh…"
The crowd stood up to cheer and scream. The girls gulped as the students started to vote who was better and who was not.
The ten teens were now on the stage, waiting for the result to come out.
"I've got the result, the winner of this pointless singing competition," Kenny said and earned a glare from Paul.
"Um let's just say BLACK ROCK SHOOTER won-" Crowd cheered
"Oh shut up! Seriously! Anyway they won heep heep hooray! Whatever." Kenny said with sarcasm rubbing off of his voice.
"Um, congrats?" Dawn said since she didn't really care about the competition but Paul started it.
"Why you girls always sing slutty songs?" The hall fell into silence. Zoey ran to the control room.
"I asked, why do you always sing slutty songs?" Paul glared, this was going off the plan but he didn't care.
"Why do you care? It's Zoey who is writing the songs anyway." May glared. The room was filled with murmurs, they knew the fight was going to start.
"You don't have to sing you know, are you guys going off telling people that you are a whore?" Dawn's face darkened but Paul, for his sake, didn't notice it.
"What are you doing?" Drew asked, worried.
"Shut up." Paul said and with that Zoey turned the mike's volume to mute and Kenny made the curtain go down.
"You have no right to call me that." Dawn said with a very shaky voice.
"I have every right to say what I want." Paul scoffed
Dawn stomped up at him and glared at him.
"Take that back." She demanded.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Paul said with his arms crossed.
"Take it back, you called us a group of whores."
"Truth."
And the next five seconds happened in flash, everyone was shocked. The little girl, had pushed down the tall boy to the floor and was on top of him, her right hand on his neck close to squeezing it and her other hand aiming for his face.
"Dawn!" Zoey, who just arrived, ran to Dawn and tried to pull her off of him.
"LET ME GO!" Dawn screeched and everyone in the auditorium turn to the curtain and stopped exiting the hall.
Paul looked up at Dawn, her eyes had tears in it and because of being consumed by anger it was blank. Paul, for the first time in his life, was scared. She was mumbling something really quietly so he couldn't hear it at all. Though the 'silent' whisper was what creeping him out like that.
Kenny peaked from the curtain, "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! CAN'T THEY HAVE SOME PRIVACY?" Everyone obeyed to the strange boy and exited the whole school grumbling at his attitude.
Kenny then ran down to lock the door and when he returned the situation was bit serious. Dawn had found some power to remain on top of the plumhead teen and was now having tears running down her cheek. Paul was just too shocked to move; both that she just tackled him onto the floor and she was taking this too seriously.
"I thought you were my friend!" Dawn screeched, losing all of her strength after that, they were draining out of her. Drew managed to pull her off of Paul and picked her up in bridal style and ran down. The girls shot a glare at him especially May and Zoey, those two looked like they wanted to rip him into pieces but they followed Drew. Jimmy ran off to them as well and the others, the boys excluding Kenny helped him get up.
"You better apologize to her." Kenny said and followed the girls. Paul just stared at the way that they went. "Paul, hate to say it but you ruined the chance you got. Every last bit of it." Gary said and Paul got really mad. He punched Gary, leaving a fairly big blue bruise on his face.
"Shut the fuck up! What do you know?" Paul spat at Gary and walked off to the dorm.
"Geez…" Gary put his finger on his bruise, "Ouch." Gary immediately ripped his finger away from the bruise and Ash sighed.
"I wonder why she reacted like that though." Ash said and Gary nodded, still wondering how to get the bruise disappear.
With the girls Dawn was still blank, mumbling something constantly. Drew held her and patted her, trying his best to comfort her.
"Dawn, ignore him. He didn't mean it at all. Shh…." Drew said and the girls watched him doing.
"How can you be so sure?" Dawn asked with shaky voice, venom in her voice.
"He's my friend and I know him, I'm sure he didn't mean them all." Drew said.
"Now you are taking on his side? I'm your girlfriend!" Dawn shrieked. The others exited the room and waited for them to be done in the dorm. They blinked and looked at each other, not knowing what to say. It was pretty awkward considering what they were doing and what they witnessed.
"Sorry." Jimmy said, he hung his head.
"About what?" The girls, confused, asked.
"Paul. I'm sorry for agreeing to actually doing that. He said he will bring Kenny if we corporate and we listened to him." Kenny frowned.
"It is nice of you to like me that a lot." Kenny said with another sarcasm.
Jimmy sighed when the other two came.
"What's going on?" Gary asked.
"What happened to you?" Leaf asked.
"Paul punched me." he said and they heard a loud scream from the room. They thought about opening the door but didn't since Drew opened the door and stormed out of the room. He bit his lips. So hard that the girls could see blood coming out a little.
"What's going on?" Ash asked.
"She broke up with me." Drew said bitterly. The girls gasped, Leaf and May rushed in while Marina, Misty and Zoey tried to make Drew speak but he didn't. In fact he crouched onto the ground and started to sob quietly. The guys put their hand on Drew's back or shoulder for comfort but he brushed their hands off of him. He was definitely not in a mood to talk to anyone nor stay with someone. He couldn't believe they just broke up because of that. Why did Paul even put up this stupid challenge? Was it on purpose? Was this purpose?
Inside the room May and Leaf walked up to Dawn who was also crying softly.
"Dawn, sweetheart, are you okay?" Leaf asked.
Dawn didn't answer but she slightly shook her head.
"Sweetheart, things like this can happen." Leaf added and May slightly nodded in agreement.
"I'm not sad just because of the breakup." Dawn said after a long pause.
"What?" May asked.
"I met my best friend today, I was really happy then on the same day I lost two." Dawn said still sniffing.
"Two?" Leaf was confused.
"Drew, my boyfriend, and Paul, I trusted him as a friend and he could, he couldn't just insulted us in front of the whole school." Dawn's voice was horse and tired.
"Oh, that guy is not worth it. You definitely deserve someone better as a friend. Besides, you and Drew are still friends, right?" Leaf asked. Dawn didn't say anything but in the end she nodded only slightly.
"That's my girl." May said and the two hugged her.
Gary returned to his room to have a conversation with Paul. He opened the door and saw Paul on the bunk, his head hung.
"Paul." Paul looked up to glare at the brunette.
"What."
"I'm sure this is not how you planned it but it somehow worked." Gary said. Paul narrowed his eyes, demanding an explanation.
"They broke up." Gary said and Paul's eyes widened in shock and surprise.
"What?" Paul stood up, hitting his head on the upper bunk on the process.
"Ouch!" Paul sat back down.
"They broke up, you broke two people's heart at the same day; yay a new record." Paul glared and looked down, impossible to possible.
Chapter 25 over!
How was it?
Okay, put down those rocks, don't throw it at me just yet, oh I didn't mean that you can have your guns and swords or knife or any kind of weapon, just put them down, please…..

Character Profile #2
Drew Hayden
Occupation: Singer, Actor, Student
Association: BLACK ROCK SHOOTER, Black Divine
Personality: Somewhat arrogant, social, caring, charming, sometimes annoying
Relatives: Parents
Height: 179cm
Voice: Kradness
The lead vocal in BLACK ROCK SHOOTER. He likes Dawn a lot and is currently in rivalry (?) with Paul for romance. He is a bit arrogant and likes teasing people, for example, May. Though he is very understanding to the people. It may seem weird but Drew loved Dawn in both girl and sister way. Only one will remain the later though.
