Hey! When you finish reading this chapter, please leave a review telling me what you think so far. 😊
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry." I stated while getting up. I picked up the syllabus' which were still perfectly stacked somehow.
"Don't worry, you're good." Ash replied while dusting off his pants. I just noticed what he was wearing and damn he has style. He was wearing a gray shirt with a red flannel over it (wow what are the odds he wears a flannel the same day I do?), black jeans and gray Vans.
He leaned into my ear, "But you might want to get that blush off your face before we get back to class." He whispered.
I got chills and ended up blushing even more. He noticed and began to chuckle and he headed back to the classroom. I stood there frozen for a bit, but then snapped out of it, and headed back to the classroom I tried my best to hide my blush and entered the room. I passed out a syllabus to everyone and then Mrs. Clark gave me a different syllabus, since I was a Teacher's assistant. She told me to read it while she read the Algebra 2 syllabus. I nodded and proceeded to read it. I signed it when I was done, and put in in my backpack. I looked up and immediately noticed that Ash was staring at me. I tried pretending that I didn't see him staring at me, and started listening to Mrs. Clark. She finished reading the syllabus and we had time to talk to eachother, so I went to where May was siting, and talked with her for a bit.
"So what are you gonna do during lunch?" She asked.
"My brother and I are gonna go eat at home. What about you?" I replied.
"Oh, my friends and I were gonna go get some pizza. What about after school?"
"I think we're going go home and get our practice stuff, and then come back and chill till practice starts."
"Oh cool, can I hang with you guys?"
"Yeah for sure, we can pick you up at your house, just text me your address." I then proceeded to give her my phone number and then the bell rang.
We walked through the door and parted our ways. I was headed towards the student parking lot when I bumped into a girl.
"Watch it, new girl!" She rolled her eyes and I saw her look behind me. "ASHY! BABE!" She yelled right next to my ear, and her voice was way too high pitched.
"Ketchum, control your damn girlfriend." I rolled my eyes and left. I have a very short temper when it comes to rude people.
I was almost out of the school when I saw Ash walk right past me, with that girl trailing right behind him, and I heard him say, "She's not my fucking girlfriend."
I walked out of the school and to my car. I saw Drew waiting next to the car talking to some girl and he looked very uncomfortable. Standing next to another car I saw Ash arguing with that one girl.
"Hey, Drew, you ready to go?" I asked. He nodded.
"Um who are you? " The girl asked.
"I'm Dawn his sister. Who are you?" I responded.
"Brianna. Your brothers future girlfriend." She said winking at him.
"Doubt it." I replied. Drew and I laughed and she got angry and walked away.
"Can you drive please? I need to call Leaf." I asked.
"Yeah for sure." He replied.
Drew and I got in the car and he thanked me for saving him from that awkward situation.
"No problem" I said while laughing.
I got my phone out and called Leaf.
"Hey!" She answered right away.
"Hey Leaf, how was your flight back home?" I asked.
Leaf is my bestfriend from Sinnoh, we've known eachother literally since we were born. She had gone to Hoenn to visit some of her family before we moved out to Kanto so it's been a while since we last saw eachother.
"Oh you have no idea how bad it was. I was sitting in front of a little kid who kept playing with the seat tray and he kept kicking the seat. I tried to sleep because I had woken up with a headache but I couldn't. But when we hot home i took a quick nap and I'm feeling better." She said.
"Haha that sucks. Are you ready to start school tomorrow? Your lucky your flight was canceled yesterday or else you'd be in school right now."
"Omg, I know. But I'm way not ready for school. But how's your first day back in public school?"
"Ugh so far it's been so boring. I'm sorry I said you guys over exaggerated when you said that you couldn't stand high school. I understand your pain now." I said talking about when Drew and Leaf would complain about school to me. "But I'll tell you more about it after practice." I said smiling.
"What!? You made the team? I'm so happy!" She yelled into the phone. "What about Drew?" She asked.
"Yup he made Varsity as well" I explained.
"That's awesome. I'm gonna miss going to the football games with you." She said frowning at the last part.
"Me too. It won't be the same." I told her. "But hey, you and your family are still coming this weekend for my mom's birthday right?" I asked.
"Yeah, definitely. I wouldn't miss it for anything." She said nodding. I smiled.
I looked up and saw that we were almost home.
"Yay, awesome. I'll call you or FaceTime you after practice and catch up a bit more." I said.
"M'kay. Bye!" She said.
"Bye" I said hanging up.
Drew started pulling into the driveway. Once he parked we got out and went inside.
"Hey mom." I greeted my mom kissing her on the cheek. Drew did the same.
"Hey, your lunch is on the table." She said motioning to the table. We nodded and began eating. "Oh, by the way, we're going to have dinner with the neighbors on Wednesday." She commented.
"Okay, and so we made the Varsity teams!" I told her. Her face lit up.
"That's amazing! Good job." She said high fiving us. "What time is practice?" She asked.
"Um an hour after school, I believe. It ends at 6:00 p.m." Drew answered. My mom nodded.
"Okay so dinner will be done when you get home." She said.
We continued eating and I was looking out the window and saw a car driving out of the neighbors driveway. I looked closely to see who was driving to see if I've seen them around. I finally saw the person driving and it was none other than Ash Ketchum.
"Hey mom? Is the neighbors last name Ketchum?" I asked.
"Yeah it is. Why?"
"I was just wondering cause the guy driving that car," I was pointing at Ash's car."is Ash Ketchum. He's in a few of my classes."
"And he's on the Varsity Football team." Drew added.
"Oh well thats good that you guys know him. So it won't be so awkward when we go over for dinner." My mom stated. Somehow I think it's gonna be more awkward. I thought to my self.
Drew and I finished eating and said bye to mom and headed back to school. Drew drove once again.
He started pulling out of the driveway when I got a text from a number I didn't know. I read the text and saw it was May.
May: Hey, you won't believe what I heard at the pizza place. Oh btw it's May.
Me: Hey. What'd you hear?
May: Okay so Ash's ex, Serena and her best friend Brianna were talking about how the new girl was trying to get at Ash and how she ruined Brianna's chance with the new guy. And you and Drew are the only new students so far. So I listened and they were saying that they're not going to let you get with Ash and that Brianna is gonna try to get with Drew. They left afterwards tho. But I thought you should know.
Shit.
Me: Woah, geez. First of all, I'm definitely not trying to get at Ash. 2nd of all, Brianna has zero chance with Drew, especially if I can get you two together ;). But thanks for telling me I appreciate it.
May: Lol well hopefully you're a good match maker. And no problem, I've got your back. And if there's a fight, I'll cheer you on, or get in the fight and help you. Lolz.
Me: Thanks, I've got your back too.
Drew was driving into the student parking lot. And once he parked we got out and headed to woodshop. On the way there, I couldn't stop thinking about what May told me. Man I hope what happened in 8th grade at my old school doesn't happen again. That's what made me do online school.
