Hey sorry for the long AF wait, my WiFi has been down and I just returned to school from break. Anyways here's the new chapter.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I reached over to my dresser and turned my alarm clock off. I sluggishly rose from my bed and headed to my bathroom to take a shower.

When I got out of my shower, I wrapped my towel around my body and went to my closet to look for the clothes I'm going to be wearing for the day. I ended up choosing a pair of denim shorts, and a plain white t-shirt. I paired my outfit with white converse and began putting my hair up in a bun. I finished getting ready and reached for my phone. I saw a bunch of messages from the groupchat May, Leaf and I were in, we also just recently added Misty into it. I also saw that Leaf sent me a text about an hour ago.

Leaf: Hey, our flight's about to leave. I'll see you in Sinnoh.

My eyes widened and I looked at the date. Shit, its Friday already? I rushed downstairs to look for my mom.

"Mom, who's gonna pick up Leaf and her family at the airport?!" I asked her.

"You are aren't you? We agreed that I'll get you out of school during lunch and you'll drive to the airport." She explained.

"Oh, right. I must've forgotten." I said sheepishly.

"Forgot about what?" Drew asked as he came down the stairs.

"I have to pick up Leaf and her family later on today." I replied.

"Oh."

"Yeah. Oh I have to go, I'm gonna need to pick up May to go to school and see if we made the dance team, we're also going to get breakfast in town. Do you think you can bring May here after volleyball practice? She's gonna spend the night here, so is Misty I believe." I asked Drew. He nodded. "Alright I'll see you in class."

I walked out to my car and as I was about to unlock it, I saw Ash getting in his car. I spent all day yesterday trying to avoid him because I knew he'd tease me about having to take me to get my wisdom teeth removed. I really don't want him to be the one to take me.

I got in my car and began heading to May's house. Once I got there, I waited for her to come outside.

"Hey." She greeted as she opened the passenger side door.

"Hey. Oh, so I'm not going to be able to give you a ride after school, Drew said he'd be willing to, are you okay with that?" I revealed.

"Yeah that's alright. Where are you going?"

"I need to pick up Leaf and her family at the airport." I explained.

"Oh right her flight was today. That means Misty and I will finally meet her." I nodded.

I drove to a nearby diner and we grabbed a bite to eat. Once we finished, I drove to the school and we headed toward the school information board to see of we made the dance team. We saw a few girls leave with a face of sadness and others looked happy. We walked up to the list and began looking for each other's name.

"I found your name." we said at the same time. We looked at each other and smiled.

"Well what do you want to do now?" I asked as we walked around the halls. "We've still got like twenty minutes until class starts."

"Do you just want to go to the art room and continue our project? We don't have anything else to do." May suggested.

"Sure." We began walking to the art room when we saw Misty at her locker. "Hey Misty, what's up?"

"Hey, nothing much." she replied closing her locker. "Where are you guys headed?"

"To the art room." May replied.

"Can I go with you guys?" Misty asked. "I don't have a class for first period but I had to come for a student council meeting."

"Sure. Let's go."

When we got to the art room we greeted the teacher and asked if Misty could stay for first period. He said yes only as long as she didn't distract the other students. We sat at a table near the back and May grabbed our projects out of our folders and we began working on it. Our project was to draw a quote in different types of fonts. While we worked, Misty, May and I talked for a bit and before we knew it the bell rang to begin the class. May and I went to our assigned seats while Misty stayed in the back. After the teacher took attendance, we asked him if we could sit where we sat before class and said yes.

"Hey Dawn, isn't Leaf getting here today?" Misty asked.

"Yup, I'm going to pick her up from the airport later today so I won't be in woodshop or Pre-Calculus." I explained while I continued drawing.

"Awesome can't wait to meet her. Oh and I'll be a little late to your house cause I've got a few things to pick up for my sister's."

We continued talking until class finished then May and I went to our next class. I almost fell asleep in the class due to the substitute teacher talking so slow. Thankfully May kept waking me up.

Chemistry was our next class. We were assigned a lab and when we had to get all of the supplies we needed, another student bumped into me and spilled a beaker full of water on me.

"Ohh shit, I'm so so so sorry." The girl, I believe her name was Maggie, apologized as she put the beaker on a table and grabbed a few paper towels.

"Oh, don't worry it's fine." I said as I took the paper towels. They didn't help since I was basically drenched.

"Girls, what happened?" the teacher asked as she approached us.

"I accidentally spilled all of the water over Dawn." Maggie said. She honesty looked like she was about to cry.

"Its fine, really. I have a change of clothes in my locker." I assured her that everything was fine.

"Alright Dawn, I'll write you a pass to go to your locker, Maggie can you grab a mop from the closet and clean this up please?" the teacher said as she grabbed a paper and a pen. Maggie nodded and rushed to get the mop. Once I had the pass, I started heading toward my locker when I saw Ash sitting on a bench, looking at his phone, in the hallway across the junior lockers.

"Shouldn't you be in class Ketchum?" I asked as I stopped in front of my locker.

"I should be asking you the same thing." he said looking up from his phone for a quick second but looking back down the next.

"I ditched." I joked. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye. He looked surprised for a split second but then noticed the pass in my hand.

"What's the real reason?" I turned to look at him and pointed at my soaked clothes. "Woah, how'd that even happen?"

"A girl in my chemistry class spilled a beaker of water on me and now I have to change into my gym clothes." I explained as I grabbed my clothes. "Why aren't you in class?"

"I ditched." he said mocking me. I rolled my eyes. "No really, I ditched."

"If you ditched you wouldn't be in the building." I said.

"True." He looked back down at his phone. "I'm actually supposed to be a teacher's assistant but she didn't need my assistance and let me have the class period off so I just came out here." he explained.

"Oh." I simply said as I shut my locker. "Well, I'll see you around Ketchum." I said as I began walking to the bathroom to change into my gym shirt and some joggers.

Once I was dressed I returned to class. Everyone was working on their lab so I asked May what I could do to help.

"Um, mix substance A with C." she read off of the instructions. I nodded and did what I was told. I waited a few minutes and nothing happened.

"Just as we hypothesized." another one of our lab partners commented.

We continued the lab and were able to finish it a minute before the bell rang. We cleaned up our area and were released to our next class.

"Since I'm already dressed I'll wait for you on the bleachers." I told May as we entered the gym. She nodded and went into the locker room to change.

I sat on the bleachers and looked through my social media until Drew showed up.

"Hey, mom said she's going to get you out of school during this class because she has a break right now." Drew explained.

"Oh what really?" I asked.

"Yeah but near the end of class not like right away."

"Okay. Its a good thing I don't have to change." I said. Drew raised his eyebrow. "There was in accident in chemistry and I had to change into my gym clothes."

"Oh makes sense." He said and I nodded.

Once everyone was dressed and the teacher took role, we were able to play whatever we wanted to play. May and I played a game of HORSE which I won and then I was called to the office because I was being checked out for the day.

"I'll see you when I get home." my mom said as she got in her car. "Drive safe."

"Okay. Love you." I began walking to my car.

I decided to go to a local restaurant and ordered food for myself and Leaf and her family. It took about an hour for the food to be ready, but I didn't mind since I had enough time. I headed to the airport, which was about an hour drive and parked in the airport parking lot. I walked into their baggage claim area and waited on a bench.

"Dawn!" I head my name. I looked up and saw my childhood best friend.

"Leaf!" I stood up and headed towards her. We hugged and almost fell on the ground.

"It's been too long." We laughed.

I hugged her parents and waited for them to get their luggage then headed to my car. We started driving back to my house and we caught up a bit on the way there. Once we got there, no one was there yet. Drew and May were at practice, Misty was busy, and my mom was still at her restaurant. We ate the food I got earlier and watched some TV. After a while, I decided to take a nap and told Leaf to wake me up when everyone got here.
