CAN SOMEONE JUST READ MY FYIW STORY? BECAUSE MY MOST RECENT TWO CHAPTERS HAVE ZERO VIEWS ON THEM AND IT MAKES ME SAD DX

Hi readers! I'm glad I actually decided to carry on with this story. It's blossoming out! It should stay on track, unlike FYIW. Arceus, I have to rewrite that story or something. Or maybe just put SORRY twenty times in it. XD Anyways, I don't own Pokemon.

And just a little update. All those reviews with questions? I answered them! And I don't wanna answer them again. I WILL UPDATE. NO MORE GAY PEEPS, HOPEFULLY. REGGIE IS NOT A MAIN CHARACTER. NO LOVE FOR HIM. Ok here's your chapter! X3

Chapter Four

She was lost. She was cold. And she felt empty. How could her sisters do that to her? Her mother didn't die because of her! Ok, she died of childbirth, but that wasn't planned! Misty trudged on down the street. Maybe she could camp out in the park. Oh her nerdy glasses, she couldn't feel her hands! She began to panic. But then she blacked out.

She awoke to the smell of hot chocolate. She opened her eyes, peered around her. It was a small cabin.

"You woke up."

Misty looked behind her. There was a tall boy, around her age, standing in the doorway. He had brown toffee hair, that spiked up.

"I'm Gary Oak. I found you in the street. Name?" He asked, passing her a mug.

"Misty Kasumi Waterflower. Thanks for saving me." She took the mug, warming her hands.

"No problem. Do you happen to go to Johto High?"

"Yes. Are you new?"

"Well yes, you could say that. I came to do settle some business, to be more specific."

"Oh! I can show you around!"

"That would be nice. And why exactly were you wandering the streets with no raincoat?"

"I ran away. Nothing more."

Misty looked up into Gary's eyes. She sensed safety and she immediately warmed to him. And he was cute. Not as cute as some other people, but they already had their flaws. Remembering the 'other people' she pulled at her blue knit sweater, remembering the harsh words.

"I should probably leave. Thanks for saving me." Misty pulled on her rucksack.

"Maybe not. You can stay with me if you like. In a separate room of course. You can't be homeless."

"I can? Really?"

"Sure Misty Waterflower. You seem interesting."

Ash reached out for another potato chip. Drew and Paul always made him feel better. But now he was allowed to cross out the 'always' and replace it with a 'mostly'. They were just making him feel worse right now. They didn't mean it of course.

"Then she slapped me! Look I still have a bruise!"

"That stupid counsellor said I should get re homed. How did she dare insult Reggie?"

Ash groaned. It was hard listening to two rants at the same time. Especially when you wanted to rant too.

"Listen you two. I'm going home. Listen to each other's sad stories and cry. I don't care. I have a headache." Ash walked out, his bag flung over one shoulder.

"That was so sexy!" Drew whispered dreamily.

"Keep ranting about May. I prefer that." Paul scowled. "Dang it! Ash ate all the chips!"

Ash hurried home. He had a feeling the advice girl wouldn't be happy for more meetings. He had insulted her, after all. Maybe getting a proper girlfriend wasn't his destiny? But he did remember all the instructions. He would keep them for later. Or more likely, never.

The next day was sunny, and the clouds were wispy and almost transparent. Misty showed Gary the way to certain classrooms, and helped him around. She knew for a fact that she had never been in love before, but she was pretty certain she had a crush! He was sweet, gentle and caring. Perfect boyfriend material!

Sure, Ash's words were harsh, but they helped her. She would have to thank him. Of course, she didn't, but she did in her mind. And her dislike for him deepened when she found out he hadn't taken her advice. Big fat hairy deal. She didn't care. Did she?

He's a playboy. She reminded herself. His wish was just a hope. It was probably a prank, knowing him.

She concentrated on Gary. Sweet Gary Oak.

"Misty Waterflower! Are you listening to me?"

The teachers voice boomed in her ear. She flushed pink, as everyone stared at her.

"Yes sir."

"Then stop staring out the window and do your sums."

"Yes sir."

Drama over. No one was staring at her anymore. Whew. Wait. She felt someone's gaze fall on her. She glanced behind her and scowled. Stupid Ash Ketchum. She could almost hear his stupid voice saying 'your perfect reputation ruined?'

She clenched her fist and scowled. A smile played on his lips and raised his eyebrows. Drat. Stupid hormones. Why was she going red? Stupid hormones. Stupid, stupid, stupid…

"Agh! Stop freakin' staring at me!" She shouted, forgetting she was in a classroom.

"Misty Kasumi Waterflower! Detention after school!" The teacher shrieked.

The class erupted in laughter. If Misty's face wasn't hot before, then now it was burning. She glared at Ash, who smirked back. Stupid Ash Ketchum.

"On the good side, I won't be the only one in detention tonight." Paul said, who sat next to Ash.

"Ha ha. Very funny." Misty gritted her teeth and headed to her locker.

Paul and Ash glanced at each other.

"Fiery, isn't she? Never noticed her much before." Paul admitted.

"I've always noticed her. She's interesting." Ash looked over to the doorway.

Misty was restless. Last lesson of the day. She was stressed and annoyed. Then she would have detention. An hour in silence. Brilliant. Her type of fun. She scowled in the memory of the raven haired boy. Why did he keep popping into her head? He was so annoying! She just wanted to forget about the past few days.

She adjusted her hair. Admittedly, after Ash's insults, she had started looking at herself differently. Her fringe had been trimmed, her hair was brushed, and her clothes, well, they were a bit better. She was broke, after all. Right now, she was wearing a pink hoodie with denim shorts. It was better than her blue knit sweater.

Carelessly, Misty started to doodle. It was sort of unintentional, and her hand just moved naturally. Soon the page was full of small curls and flowers. She grinned at it, slightly proud. There was a tap on her shoulder. Misty sighed angrily. She already knew who was behind her. He had been sitting behind her ever since they had talked at the café. 'Just like old times', he had said, when she questioned it. She glanced at the teacher, before turning around. She raised an eyebrow. He lifted up a page, and she saw that he had been doodling too.

But when she realised what it was, she glared at him, snatched the paper and ripped it into shreds. Ash grinned, rolling his eyes. Misty only scowled back.

How dare he doodle her! And he drew her in her blue knit sweater! She reminded herself to get rid of the sweater as soon as possible. It only gave her bad luck. She drifted off into her thoughts again.

The bell rung, bringing Misty to her senses. She looked up, confused, as everyone huddled to the corner of the classroom. Great. What did she miss? Then again, she didn't want to know. Since it was probably a early notice about prom. How she hated prom. Dawn and May were going with her, but since they had left her alone, Misty only felt worse. She was going to be a loner at prom. Or she could just eat popcorn and camp out on marshmallows. Yeah, that sounded nice….

"Hey Misty!"

Misty groaned and turned around.

"What? Go die in a hole. I don't want to sign up for prom." Misty snapped.

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about? We're project partners."

"WHAT?!"

"Yeah. I knew you would say that. I'll see you tonight at your house."

"Just tell me how the nerdy glasses you know where I live…actually I don't even wanna know."

A/N: I can't exactly put oh the Arceus, since Arceus doesn't exist, so Misty has her nerdy glasses. And yes, EGOSHIPPING vs POKESHIPPING! I actually find egoshipping slightly cute, but WHO RUINS MY OTP. NO ONE. NO ONE YOU HEAR ME GARY OAK. Thank Arceus this is a fanfiction.

Please review, follow and favourite! It makes me happy.
