Dawn's Pov (September 14th)

"Poetry, Poetry, I love Poetry~" Paul's eye twitched, Piplup smirking. We headed towards the battlefield, our friends waiting for us. I ran up to May, smiling happily. "No one bothered you, right?" I nodded. Nobody bothered me, but that is probably because Paul was with me. "So, why are we all here?" Ash smiled, answering Misty's question. "Prof Oak will be arriving soon!" How did Misty not know that? "No one told me anything about him arriving!" She yelled, glaring at Ash. He laughed nervously. Idiot, "I'm sorry, I was too excited. My mom would be coming with him I think.." Misty let it go, smiling.

Leaf sat there, rubbing Pichu's head as the wind hit us. "What do you think he is bringing? He said something about a surprise right?" Gary nodded, green eyes shining. "He did say there would be a surprise, but not right away." Gary informed, a smirk forming on his face as Ash whined. "I was hoping for a surprise today!" I laughed at him, holding my beanie. "Today is such a beautiful day, don't you think so?" May asked, smiling. I nodded, watching the Pokémon fly through the skies. Piplup watched, pouting. "Stop pouting." It isn't a bad thing that he can't fly like them. Togekiss appeared, her pokeball closing as she cheered. We watched her fly into the sky, crying happily. "Piplup!" Someone is jealous.

She landed, letting him on her back before taking off. Skitty and Azurill pouted. "Flygon fly!" I squeaked as the dragon Pokémon flew high up into the sky, the force of air hitting me. He flew towards us, Skitty jumping on happily. I smiled, Ash chuckling. "Pika! Pi.." Pikachu whined. Azurill and Pikachu looked at each other, before looking at Pichu. "Pichu pi?" Leaf released Charizard, the Pokémon stretching her wings.

Pikachu, Azurill and Pichu immediately jumped on, the huge Pokémon taking off. I heard a ship in the distance, Ash immediately jumping up. "That must be Prof Oak and them!" Ash ran towards the docking area, an excited look on his face. Gary ran after him, the both of them racing to see who could get there first. "Seriously, acting like idiotic kids.' Paul grumbled, Drew running to catch up with them. Misty rolled her eyes, walking towards the place. May was long gone, and Leaf was making her way towards the dock. I walked with Paul, smiling.

"You would be like that if your family was coming, don't lie." He rolled his eyes, walking ahead of me. He doesn't want to admit it! We caught up, watching a few people come off the ship. Gary and Ash stood on their toes, trying to see their family. I stifled a giggle as Ash fell, Gary laughing. "It isn't funny!" He yelled angrily. An old man and middle-aged woman walked off the boat, the woman's eyes widening as she ran towards us. "Ash! Are you okay?" That must be his mom. She had auburn hair and hazel eyes. She was very pretty~

"Hi mom, I'm fine!" I giggled, his mother looking at us. "Oh! You must be his friends!" She seemed to already know who Misty is, a smile forming on her face. "I'm Delia Ketchum." She said happily. We introduced ourselves, the woman squealing as she looked at Leaf. "Oh my! Is that little Leaf?!" She launched at the emotionless girl, pulling her into a bear hug. "You've grown so much! You are so beautiful!" Leaf looked like she wanted to be anywhere but here right now. The older man chuckled, smiling. "I'm Prof Oak! Though you already knew that.." We laughed, a brunette with green eyes joining us. "Oh, you must be Ash's friends, I'm Daisy Oak." She is so beautiful~ We introduced ourselves, heading towards the school building. "Calling last night like that was somewhat unexpected gramps.." Gary said, rubbing his eyes. Professor Oak chuckled, "You'll be fine! Don't worry!"

We sat down in front of the school. Togekiss, Charizard and Flygon flying above us. "Leaf, it has been so long since I've last seen you!" Prof Oak said, chuckling. The brunette stared at him, fishing out her pokedex. "Ah, did you finally catch them all like you've wanted to do?" He looked, his eyes widening. "SPLENDID!" I guess she did catch them all. Old man is happy!

I giggled at his reaction, Gary shaking his head in amusement. Prof Oak fangirled over the pokedex, Daisy smiling as she looked at us. "It's nice to meet you all!" I nodded, Piplup running over to her. "Are you a coordinator or a battler?" She asked me and May. "Coordinator." We answered. She smiled, pulling out a huge ribbon case from her bag. Inside the case were thousands of ribbons, varying in colors and shapes. I stared at her in awe.

"I'm a famous coordinator, or at least in Kanto. I've won ribbons in Hoenn, Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh." She answered, smiling proudly. I hope I can become like that one day. May touched the case, immediately pulling back. "S-sorry, just so amazing.." Daisy laughed, Drew's eyes widening. "E-even I don't have that many ribbons!" She looked at him, a smile forming. "You are a coordinator as well?" I saw Leaf try and grab her pokedex, Prof Oak dancing around as Daisy continued, "I'm sure you three will earn many ribbons!" She said. I could learn some things from her..

Delia clapped her hands, all of us paying attention. "Well, how about I go and make some dinner?" Ash cheered like a little kid, Gary nodding immediately. "Where can I make the food though?" She left, going to find a place where we could all hang out. Prof Oak had calmed down, Leaf snatching her pokedex from him. "All Pokémon, I'll need your pokedex to do research later!" Leaf ignored him, staring off into space. Prof Oak sighed, "You really have changed, haven't you.." I'm somewhat confused..

We headed towards the school building, where Delia was. "They said we could use the staff room~" We cheered, heading towards the room. I sat down as Delia went towards the kitchen, wherever that is. Paul sat next to me, the silence making me feel irritated. "You know, you need to talk more." He ignored me, and I seethed. Stupid Plumhead can't even pay any attention to me! He smirked, noticing my angry look. I wish I could wipe that smirk off his face. Ash looked at us, "Could you guys stop flirting? I want to eat.." My face heat up, while Paul grunted in annoyance. "I-I would never flirt w-with him!" Ash smirked, "Suure.." He said, Pikachu laughing.

I'll kill you Ash, I hope you know that. Misty smiled at me, and I glared. Great, everyone will think I like him! I don't even like him! Piplup was smirking, while May was putting hearts around us. "Can you stop?!" They laughed, finally leaving me alone. I can't believe May would do that! Paul rolled his eyes, obviously annoyed. I glared at him, wanting to punch him so badly. I'm not that annoying! Delia came back in, smiling happily. "Here you go!" She placed the delicious looking food on the table, all of us immediately grabbing what we wanted. I wasted no time in starting to eat, having a mini contest with May. Of course, she won. I pouted, May laughing happily. "I don't know why you are getting so happy over food.." Drew said, rolling his eyes. She glared darkly, "Sorry? Did someone say something?" She asked. Drew frowned, glaring.

Well then..

I can see their friendship has gotten worse. Don't they notice it? If they do, they don't seem to care. I wish I could do something to fix their friendship, but I don't know how. Drew needs to stop hanging around Brianna. Obviously, May dislikes her. Drew needs to pick, Brianna or May? He better choose May.

I don't want to see my best friend depressed. May looked at me, forcing a smile on her face. I'm about to punch Drew in the face. If he doesn't fix this, I'll make sure to let Misty punch him in the face as well. Maybe I'll let Leaf do the same. "Dawn, can you please stop glaring at me like you want to murder me.." Gary said. Ooops.. "Heh, sorry Gary.." He rolled his eyes, looking through his pokegear. Fine then, don't accept my apology.

Delia was fawning over Leaf, who was staring at the older woman. "Smile Leaf~ Why won't you smile~" Ash looked nervous, whispering something to his mom. She pouted, before letting Leaf go. She sat down, smiling happily. "Prof Oak, when are we telling them?" Telling us what? The professor laughed, smiling in a defeated way. "It was supposed to be a surprise!" He said, shrugging. Daisy shook her head, giggling. "Hey Leaf, could you help me out with something?" She led Leaf out of the room, Prof Oak chuckling.

"I was thinking of throwing a surprise party!" Ooh! For who? "Who is it for though?" Ash asked, "No one! It's just for fun!" Oh, well still, yay! Daisy walked back in a minute later, Leaf behind her. She had some boxes, a smile on her face, "I meant to give these to you guys after I came off the ship, but I forgot." She handed us gifts, and I smiled. "You didn't have to.." May said, opening it. I opened mine as well, seeing a custom-made ribbon case. "Thank you!" Me and May cheered, looking at our cases. She laughed, "Your welcome, I hope its good enough!" It is!

Gary got a custom-made badge case along with Ash and Leaf, Misty had gotten water type pokegear case, Drew got a contest custom case like us, and Paul got a custom badge case like Ash. We thanked her many times, the brunette laughing. "I'm happy you like it, those cases can hold more than regular cases. That way you all don't have to change through cases a lot." Yay!

I took out my current case, taking the ribbons and putting them in my new case. This case could hold so many ribbons, I couldn't help but squeal. "Troublesome, stop trying to make me deaf." I glared, holding myself back from smacking him. "Grumpy eggplant." He glared. I cleaned my ribbons, closing the custom case and putting it in my bag. A smile broke out onto my face, watching May fuss over her ribbons as well. "Want help?" She nodded, and I walked to her side. "So how many Grand Festivals have you won?" Daisy asked. "I've won one." I replied. She smiled, "Thats still good!" I nodded. I finished with May's ribbons, helping her put them into the new case. She smiled happily, "Thank you Dawn! This case is amazing!" It is~

I grabbed some more chicken, May grabbing lots of it. "Really June? Must you eat so much?" Drew snickered. May snarled angrily, and they started arguing. "Grasshead!" "Fatty!" Fatty? Really? That is so childish..

I watched the argument, Prof Oak sweatdropping as May threw a piece of cheese at Drew's face. "A-anyways, how would you all like to-" A piece of lettuce hit his face, Drew and May throwing food angrily. "Eat this Grasshead!" Drew dodged the food, the cake smashing into Misty's face. "How about you stop eating! You are going to starve the world!" The cupcake he threw hit Leaf's face. I bit my lip, standing up, "Guys I don't thin-" Ow.

I wiped the seafood off my face, growling angrily. May and Drew stood there, eyes wide. "I-I'm sorry!" Drew stuttered, while May backed away. "YOU BETTER BE!" I screeched. Paul covered his ears in annoyance, but I didn't care. They need to stop. They ruined my hair! You know what? They are going to pay big time!

Let me get ahold of them right now!

Ash's Pov

Dawn was raging, grabbing Drew by his hair and throwing him around. Honestly, she was pretty scary when she was mad. May was getting attacked to, but we weren't going to intervene. I don't want to be killed at all. She finally calmed down after ten minutes, grumbling about killing them next time. May and Drew stayed shut, looking at Dawn. They looked extremely scared right now, it was funny.

I held in my laughter, Dawn glaring at me. "Are you laughing at me?!" I immediately shook my head, my eyes widening in fear. Gary smirked, clapping silently. "What a show.." May and Drew glared at him, flinching under Dawn's stare. "Stop. Fighting." She seethed. May and Drew immediately nodded, Prof Oak laughing like a mad man. "I remember the days when Leaf and Gary would wrestle!" I glared at him, May and Drew looking confused. "They are childhood friends?" Prof Oak looked surprised, looking at his grandson. Gary was not happy. "Ah, hehe, yes they were.." Prof Oak trailed off, knowing he said to much.

Gary forced a smile, "Anyways, how about we all clean up this mess?" He quickly said. May and Drew immediately went to work, not wanting to get beaten up by Dawn again. I got up, grabbing the broom and starting to clean. Mom smiled at me, sighing, "I'm sure everything will be fixed dear.." She muttered. I hope so. Gary glared at his grandfather, who was smiling sheepishly. I sighed, "Pika pi?" Pikachu looked at me worriedly, carrying empty cans. I smiled, "I'm fine Pikachu, just thinking." He threw the cans away, cheering happily. I chuckled, "Hey." Gary suddenly appeared in front of me, making me jump. "Yes?" He snickered at my surprised face. "Nothing. You looks scared though." I do?

I frowned, shrugging, "I'm just thinking, plus the way Dawn beat up Drew and May makes me nervous. I don't want to be attacked." He nodded, smirking. "Though it was funny.."

He is asking to be killed. Dawn glared at him, Gary immediately shutting up. "That is what you get.." I muttered, smirking. He rolled his eyes, walking off. I walked up to Misty, helping her clean the walls. "They didn't have to throw this food!" She growled, "They didn't have to argue either.." I muttered. We finally got the place done after a whole hour, May apologizing frantically. "May. Its fine. Whats done is done." Dawn answered. May still looked guilty as we left, heading towards the mall. Prof Oak smiled, "I'll be in the school building. I need to talk to them about some stuff." He walked off, Delia smiling. "Want to go shopping with me Daisy?" Daisy nodded, while Dawn and May smiled, "Can we go?" My mom nodded. They left, leaving me, Misty, Paul, Drew and Gary here. Leaf disappeared once more.

"Well, I'm going to go see if I got accepted yet." Gary said, heading towards his room. "I'm going with you!" I said. Misty shrugged, walking off. "You aren't coming with?" I called. She yelled back, "No! I'm going to go take my Pokémon to the ocean!" Okay then. Paul and Drew went off to the pokemart. I followed Gary, sitting down on his bed as he turned on his computer. "Man, today is just so weird and lively." I mumbled. He nodded, Umbreon coming out of his pokeball. Pikachu and Umbreon talked happily while I looked at Gary's computer.

"I think you got a message back from them.." He immediately paid attention, reading the mail. A smile broke out on his face. "Did you get accepted?" He nodded, and I cheered for my best friend. "That is amazing Gary! Now what?" He looked over it, finishing the message. "I'll have to go to the league with either Leaf or Misty. They'll have to show me around, and I'll be taught everything I need to know." He finished. "Misty was right! I knew having Leaf refer you was a good idea!" He rolled his eyes, his smile growing. "Yeah.." I looked at the message, smiling happily.

"I can't wait to see you as Gym Leader!" He chuckled, "You coming with?" That confused me greatly. Wouldn't he want to do this alone? "Wha?" He chuckled, "You want to come with? To see the League and the Gym. I wouldn't mind, and I'm sure Leaf would let you. Plus, it says I can bring four people.." I didn't see that part! "Sure! I'd love to!" Pikachu threw packets of ketchup into the air, cheering happily. Umbreon just rolled his eyes, lazing about as always. I fixed my hat, looking out the window. "When are we leaving?" He stayed quiet for a bit, before answering. "I guess we could go tomorrow. Right now, we have other things to do." I nodded in agreement. We'd probably be there the whole day tomorrow.

My pokegear shook, and I quickly answered it, "Hello?" Misty sighed on the other end, "Can you come over here? It is important.." I hung up, immediately leaving. "Where are you going?" Pikachu hopped on my shoulder, "Misty needs me. Want to come?" He thought about it, nodding. We left the dorms, heading towards the beach area. I saw Misty sitting on a rock, surrounded by Melody and Rudy, who both had angry looks on their faces. "What is going on here?" I asked. They turned, Melody immediately becoming happy.

"Ash! I haven't seen you in forever!" I don't really want to see you at all. "Oh, its you." Rudy sneered. I glared, Gary looking between us. He seemed to realize something, a small smirk on his face. ""Is something wrong?" He asked calmly. "Yes, you cheated in that match before." What? "No we didn't." Misty said, sighing. Melody glared at her, "Shut up, I'm talking." Hey! Misty glared while Melody continued, "She used some rare move that wasn't allowed!" Which is? Gary raised an eyebrow, "Really? What move?" Melody frowned, "Ice Beam!" I felt like slamming my head against the wall. Ice Beam is not a rare move..

"It isn't rare. Many Pokémon can learn it. Stop trying to make excuses." Melody stared in shock, Gary smirking. "Who do you think you are to be talking to me like that?!" Melody shrieked. "I'm Gary Green Oak, that's who." Okay, my best friend is still somewhat arrogant. I stifled a chuckle at her angry face. "Well, Ash cheated. Final Evolutions were not allowed!" Rudy tried. Really? That is the most stupid excuse ever. "Well then, that would mean Melody cheated, since she used a Slowking." He had no answer to that.

They were really trying hard. They should just accept the lost. "W-well!.." Well what? Melody sighed, stomping angrily, "She doesn't deserve to be on your team!" She cried. I rolled my eyes, the drama queen going on, "She's just some water trainer!" I felt my blood boil. "No. Misty is my friend. An amazing friend at that!" Melody stared in shock, before glaring, "I'm better than her! She is just some wannabe Sensational!" Misty flinched, looking down.

Melody went to far.

I glared angrily, trying to calm down. "Look Melody. She isn't you. She doesn't try hard like you! She is a caring, amazing battler. She is there for me. I'm honoured to be on her team. Stop dreaming and realize that I want NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!" I yelled the last part. Gary stared, somewhat impressed. Melody ran away, screaming angrily. "Well then Misty, how about we ditch this loser?" Rudy said, smiling. I was about to retort when Gary grabbed Rudy by his shirt, smirking. "Sorry, but Misty and Ash are busy today. I don't think they want to waste their time with some irrelevant trainer." Rudy glared, stalking off. I smiled thankfully at Gary, walking up to Misty.

"You okay Misty?" She nodded, sighing and smiling weakly. "That just brought up some memories." I nodded, glaring at Rudy's back. He turned and glared back, Gary sighing.

"Just ignore Melody though, okay?" Misty nodded, staring at the sea. "I'm tired of hearing that I'm trying to be like my sisters." I felt bad for her. Her sisters would always say she is a wannabe Sensational. It made me angry. "Well, just try to forget she said that, okay?" Misty nodded, smiling softly. She suddenly hugged me, which was not how Misty usually is. I felt my cheeks flush slightly, my heart beating faster. "Thank you for saying that stuff about me as well.." She said, smiling once more. I nodded.

Why is my heart beating super fast?!

She realized she was hugging me, and immediately shoved me away. "J-j-just d-don't think I'm that g-grateful!" She said, glaring as her face flushed. I chuckled, before fully laughing. Gary was watching the whole scene, a small smile on his face. "Oh yeah! You want to come with us to the League?" She looked confused, before her eyes widened, "You got accepted?!" Gary nodded, both of them high-fiving. "I'll come! I'll love to show you two around with Leaf!" I smiled happily. The four of us would be going to the League tomorrow! Gary told her when, before we all headed towards the dorms.

"So, do you know how long we'll be gone tomorrow?" Misty asked, "Probably all day." Gary guessed. Misty nodded, "For me it took a total of two days to learn the whole thing. Sometimes I'm still not used to it." I yawned, looking around. "It's such a nice day right now." They nodded, Pikachu relaxing happily. "I want to battle." "Of course you do Ash.." Misty said, shaking her head. Gary laughed, "No battling today. I'm sure many people are tired still from the tournament." He's probably right, as always. I sat down on the grass, yawning tiredly. "You don't know how bored I am though!" Pikachu frowned, "Pika pi! Pika?!" Did he think I was saying he is boring? "Pikachu, I don't mean you bore me.." He ignored me, frowning.

"What was I going to say again?" Gary mumbled, before snapping his fingers. "Oh yeah! So, what do you have to do?" He asked Misty. We waited for her to answer. "You'll have to learn how to set up the gym. You'll also need to learn the rules of running it. You'll need to register Gym Trainers, and you'll need to learn the league schedule. You'll also have to report to the league every month. They'll tell you the locations for parties and all. You'll have to take care of Viridian citizens as well. You will be in charge of the festivals, or anything else." That is a lot of things to learn.

Gary sweatdropped, "Wow, I didn't expect that much.." She laughed. "Well, it is pretty easy when you think about it. Good luck though. Since you'll be the eighth gym leader, you'll have a lot to do. Remember that." He nodded, the wind hitting us once more. I think this wind hates us, "What do you have to do?" She stretched, "I have to take care of Cerulean. I host the events their, and I help with water Pokémon. I do a lot of other things as well." A question popped into my mind, "So then if you take care of the towns, what does the champion do?"

"They have to take care of the region. Take care of billions of people, protect the region, attend meetings, take care of the gym leaders. They represent the whole region itself, and if they make one mistake, it could cost them their reputation and everything." Wow, it seems like they have to do a lot. I'm kind of happy I'm not a champion now. "You'll have fun though, I'm sure of it!" She said. Gary looked doubtful, but smiled a minute later. "Alright then. I'm sure I can do it." I'm sure he can. I smiled, staring out at the sea with Misty.

Such a nice day today, isn't it?

May's Pov

I'm so angry with Drew right now!

He humiliated me in front of my friend! He also got us beat up. Right now, he better be happy I'm not strangling him. I searched through the clothes, finding a contest outfit. I squealed. "What is it?!" Dawn called, running over. I showed her the matching outfits, which were a beautiful red color. "Oh my! We must get these!" We immediately ran up to the counter, buying the clothes. The cash register guy looked scared, seeing our ravaged look. "U-um there is a sale-" "SALE?!" We rushed over.

I immediately started grabbing stuff, Dawn doing the same. "Dawn! Grab everything you can get!" I called. She nodded, grabbing many clothing as Delia sweatdropped, "Girls, calm down!" Daisy was laughing madly, trying not to fall to the ground. We shoved the clothes onto the counter, the man crying in fear of our ravaged looks. I tried not to laugh, leaving the store with Dawn. "Tha guy was so scared!" I laughed loudly, dropping the bags. At that moment Brianna ran up, grabbing the bag. "Whats this?" She pulled out the outfit, smiling. "Thank you May!"

Oh hell no bitch.

I grabbed the bag, pushing her to the ground. I've had enough of her. She stared in shock, before angrily growling at me. Idiot. "Don't even think of trying that again. Get your own clothes!" I growled, stepping over her. She tried tripping me, but failed. Dawn laughed at her, the both of us heading towards the hair salon. We needed to buy some stuff for our hair anyways. Dawn grabbed the first bottle she saw, smelling it. "Wow! Amazing~" People stared at us like we were weird, but I could care less.

I was having fun with my best friend. I smiled, "That is amazing! Do you think I should get one?" She nodded, handing me a bottle. For the next hour or two we spent our time buying hair products. We exited the store, laughing away until I bumped into someone. I looked, a smile forming once more.

"Hi Leaf!" She looked at me. "Want to smell this lotion I found?" I randomly pulled a bottle I had gotten earlier out of my bag, shoving it towards her face. She pushed it away. I pouted, "Oh come on Leaf!" She turned on her heel, heading towards some store selling chocolate. I forced myself to stay away, Dawn giggling. "May~ Chocolate~" Don't. Give. In. "I'm going to go get some~" She slowly headed towards the store, smiling.

My best friend is cruel.

"Wait for me!" I ran after her, the both of us entering the store. "I knew you couldn't resist!" She said, giggling. I rolled my eyes, grabbing a sample. Yummy~ Leaf left the store, her Pichu holding a bag of chocolates and eating them happily. My stomach growled, Dawn looking at me as if I were insane. "You already ate! How many times do you need to eat?!" I giggled nervously. "Hehe sorry?" She brought me some chocolate, exiting the store. I quickly caught up. I saw Brendan ahead of me, and Dawn pushed me forward. "Go talk to your man." Wait what?! She left before I could grab her, laughing maniacal. I walked up to Brendan, smiling. "Hi Brendan!"

He smiled, brown eyes shining happily. "How are you?" He asked. I shrugged, "Could be better. I got into an argument with a friend." He frowned, "Why?" Should I tell him? "Over food." He stared, before laughing. "I-It isn't funny!" He wiped an imaginary tear from his eye, fixing his hat as he answered me, "No. Its hilarious. Why are you fighting over food?" I blushed in embarrassment. Does he have to be so loud?

"Sorry May." He said, smiling sheepishly. I giggled, sighing, "Its fine Brendan. Anyways, how have you been?" He smiled, "Fine. Tired, but fine." I saw Drew walk in, his emerald eyes narrowing when he saw me with Brendan. Wonder what is wrong with him. "Thats good, at least you have been having an okay day!"

Drew walked past us, glaring at Brendan. Brendan didn't notice, handing me something. I grabbed it, my eyes widening slightly, "Remember? When we went to the fair years ago?" I nodded, hugging him tightly. "I thought I lost it forever!" He had given me my old bandana back, which is the one my grandmother had given me before she passed away. "Thank you so much Brendan!" He chuckled, nodding. "I should go. I have training today, see you later?" I nodded, smiling brightly. "Bye Brendan!" He waved goodbye, leaving the mall. "Who was that?"

Drew.

I forced a smile, looking at him. "My childhood friend Brendan!" He frowned, "Well he seems suspicious." Brendan is a good guy. "He isn't bad or anything, Drew. Stop acting like my friends are horrible." He glared, "So its okay for you to tell me not to trust Brianna, but I can't tell you to stay away from Brendan?" Really? "I'm looking out for you, you don't know how Brendan is!" I yelled. People were watching but I could care less.

"So? You don't know how Brianna is!" He growled out. "Yes I do. She has been my rival for a long time, I should know how she is!" He rolled his eyes, sighing in annoyance. "Well, stay away from Brendan than." No! I don't have to. He saw my defiant look and narrowed his eyes. "Its only fair, right? If I have to stop talking to Brianna, you have to stop talking to Brendan!" I'm not having this. I can do what I want, and Brendan is a good guy. "Brendan is a nice person, unlike Brianna! Are you obsessed with her or something?!" He glared angrily.

"No, but I do know she is better than you! What kind of friend treats someone bad?" If I remember correctly.. "YOU ARE THE ONE WHO HUMILIATED ME IN PUBLIC!" I yelled in his face. "BECAUSE YOU DESERVED IT! NO ONE LIKES YOU MAY. YOU ANNOY ALL OF US. EVERYTHING I SAID IS TRUE." He yelled.

I kept the tears down, not wanting to appear weak. "Leave me alone Drew. I have no time for backstabbers." He was extremely angry by now, but I fought back. "Backstabber?! How am I a backstabbing?!" How? I'll tell him how he is one. "You talk about me behind my back! You always make fun of me and half of the time you choose Brianna over me!" He glared, "Then I'm happy to be a backstabber. Anything is better than you Maple." I glared, turning around.

I didn't want to be here now. Dawn came running towards me, glaring at Drew. "No, if anything Drew, anything is better than you." She sneered, dragging me away. I glared darkly at him until he was out of sight. "You okay May?" I nodded tiredly. I already know that now, our friendship is trashed.

This is not good for the tournament..

There is chapter 10! Hope you enjoyed it :D

-Pichu!
