HP Girls: The New Trainee!
Hearthome City, Sinnoh. 10th February 2023. 7:37am.
"Hey girls!"
"Hi!"
Iris clapped her hands together. "Today is our first day of training!" she exclaimed excitedly, grinning widely as she heard cheers echo around the room. "You will have different mentors throughout the day, for singing, dancing, stage presence, song writing, rapping, and acting. You will also be given your schedules today, at around 4:30pm. But first, let me show you guys your dorms that you will be staying in for the next 3 months!" Iris explained.
She led them to two doors. "Okay, so you guys can decorate them however you'd like, although it is first one, 238 is for Dawn and Leaf," said girls walked into their room and gasped at the sight of it.
The room was an ombre that shifted from pink to green. The closets on the pink side were black, while the ones on the green side were brown. The pink sides bed frame was also black, with pink covers and a black blanket. The green side had a brown frame and the sheets were different shades of green. On the wall, there were a few floating shelves, and some empty photo frames. In the middle, there was a white wooden plank that said Leaf and Dawn: HP Girls in a pretty cursive font.
Iris cleared her throat. "And this one, 233, is Misty and May's." The two girls entered the room and squealed. It was perfect.
The room was fire themed, making it perfect for both the girls. It had a punk rock feel to it, unlike their companions who's room had a soft girl vibe. The walls had a huge flame painted on it, going all around the room. The closets were all jet black, with only a few white knobs here and there. The bed frames were black, with white sheets. They also had two square shelves each near the closets. In front of the beds were two burned out planks with their names and HP Girls carved into them roughly.
Misty and May high-fived. This was their kind of room! Iris smiled. "How about you guys settle in, and I'll see you guys back in the practice room at 9:12am sharp, to meet your first mentor?" "Sure!"
At exactly 9:10am, the girls filed into the room, excited to meet their new mentor.
Iris entered shortly after, followed by a honey-blonde a couple years older than them. "Hey again. This is Serena Yvonne, and she will be your singing mentor from now on. I'll leave you guys to work, and I'll be back in a couple hours to introduce you to your next mentor." Iris explained. "Bye for now," she said as she left the room, not wanting to take up any more of their time.
The Kalosian woman took a deep breath. "Hi there. So, what're your names?"
An hour later, the girls were all warmed up and ready to sing. Serena pulled out a few papers from a blue binder nearby labeled Serena's songs. "Let's try this one, shall we?"
BLACKPINK: CRAZY OVER YOU
(Leaf)
I've been known to kiss and tell,
Send girls to wishing wells
But if you're my man I want you to myself
I, know I'll have enemies,
Long as you're into me,
But I don't care,
'Cause I got what I need
(Dawn)
Oh, yeah
Need to get with the program,
Boy, keep it close like slow dance
Hit you with the red, don't go there,
No, no, man.
(Misty)
Met him, then get him,
I make sure he stay,
Got the venom to dead him,
If he wanna snake,
I mean sneak,
I mean play hide and seek,
I'mma find you, make sure you get left or you leave
(May)
I saw you, and knew what I was trying to do
(Dawn)
I had to play it real, real smooth, and once I finally made my move

(Dawn)

(Leaf)
Feels wrong when it's right right,
Blacked out no nightlight,
Pinked out like fight night,
Maxed out of my mind,
Get the price right,
Might buy, Might bite
(Misty)
Never the regular degular
Would clean my mess up,
But I'd rather mess it up,
Simple as so-so,
I need that, Oh no,
Boy, don't you know I'm loco?
(Dawn)
I saw you,
And knew what I was trying to do,
(May)
I had to play it real, real smooth,
And once I finally made my move
(Leaf)
I went, crazy over you,
Ahh-ahh
Over you, only you,
Ahh-ahh
I went crazy over you-
(Dawn)
Like ee-ee-ee-ee

(Leaf)
Boy, by the time I'm done,
I won't be the only one
Acting like you made me,
You can't blame me
(May)
Swear, once you get a taste,
You gon' take my place
You gon' love me crazy,
(Everyone)
Sound the alarm
(Misty)
Imma be mad till you get me back in them, arms
(May)

(Everyone)
Charge
(Misty)
Give me all you got,
Go insane with it,
Better love hard
(May)
Love me like crazy,
I love you crazy
Serena applauded the girls. "Très magnifique! C'est extraordinaire!" she exclaimed.
The girls blushed. "Thank you." they chorused, getting out of the record room. Serena picked up her things. "Well, seeing as it's time for me to go, I'll be on my way out, then. See hou guys tomorrow! Bye!" she waved, marching out the room.
The door opened again, with Iris and a red haired man at the door. "Hello again. This is your mentor, Silver. He will be teaching you different dances and choreographies." she introduced him. "And these are the HP Girls: Leaf, May, Misty, and Dawn. Have fun! I'll be back in an hour!" with that, Iris took her leave, leaving the girls with the stoic man.
"Let's get to work, shall we?"
An hour later, the girls performed the choreography for Fake Love by BTS perfectly, much to Silver's pleasure. "Good. I'll see you all tomorrow." he told the girls, leaving out the back door.
Iris returned a third time, this time, with a sky blue haired girl.
"Hello everyone, I'm Marina, your stage presence mentor."
As the day went on, the girls grew more, and more exhausted.
"Hi there, I'm Lyra, your makeup artist!"
"Hey I'm Zoey, your stylist."
"Hi, I'm Calem, your rap mentor!"
"Hey, I'm Clemont, you're tech support."
"Hello there, I'm Kenny, your acting coach."
"Hi. I'm Jimmy, your physician."
"Hello, I'm Cilan, Iris' boyfriend, and your song writing mentor."
May and Misty flopped down on Dawn's bed, as Leaf and Dawn did the same on Leaf's. May rolled over. "I'm exhausted." she groaned. Leaf's eyes suddenly lit up. "I saw a coffee shop down the street the other day. Wanna go?" she asked. The girls nodded and got up. "Yeah."
Thirty minutes later, May was standing in line for coffee, while the girls waited at their table. "May?" May looked up, recognizing the voice immediately. "Drew!" She exclaimed, happiness flooding through her veins. "Hey!" Drew nodded back. "So, what can I get you?" he asked, happy to see her again. May thought about it for a minute.
"Okay, so one iced machiatto for Leaf, one chocolate chunk cookie for Dawn, a black tea for Misty, and a Caramel Frappucinno for me." she counted on her fingertips, before nodding to herself, as if to confirm what she'd said out loud.
Drew rang up her order. "Coming right up. I'll give it to you at your table." he spoke. May nodded appreciatively. "Thanks."
May walked back to her table, only to see her friends chattering away with a few boys. Something was off. May looked closer. They all seemed…uncomfortable?
Misty was desperately trying to get a brunet to take a hint, and kept on putting his nad off her shoulder. Leaf was sweating under a raven haired boy's gaze, and Dawn was being hit on by two boys; one with a white beanie, and the other with green hair and glasses.
May walked up to Dawn first. "Excuse me, I think it would-" "May!" May turned to the boy with the beanie. It was Brendan, her childhood friend who had a crush on her! May internally panicked. "Long time, no see, huh?" May tried, but failed to keep to small frown forming off her face. Brendan didn't seem to notice. "Mhm. Wanna sit down and eat? I'll pay, it's a date, after sll." May gaped. He can't just date her like that! She doesn't even like hi like that! Feeling a presence behind her, she could only guess who it was. "Sorry Brendan, but I don't like you like that." she told him gently.
"Your drinks," a husky voice cut in, which May was thankful for. Clearly, Brendan wasn't.
"Can't you see we're talking?! Have some respect, peasant!" he sneered, as the table glared and gaped at him and his attitude. Brendan raised an eyebrow.
"Hey! Don't talk to him like that! He's just doing his job!" May screeched.
"I'll talk to him like I want to!"
"This is exactly why I don'-"
"May, look."
May turned to Misty, annoyed slightly. "What?" she said nothing, looking ahead. May followed his gaze and recoiled in shock. "Dad? What're you doing here?"
Norman gave her a hard glare. "You should't talk to your fiancé like that, you know."
Drew and May's jaws dropped. "What?"
Norman rolled his eyes. "Brendan's your fiancé from now on. You're engaged." he stated simply as Brendan smirked.
May grew angry. "No. No I'm not! I can't believe you did that!"
Norman narrowed his eyes. "Do not speak to me that way, young lady."
May started pulling on her hair. "Argh! I am not getting married, especially to him. You need to stop controlling my life." she glared.
Norman glared right back. "I'm just doing what's best for you. You are my daughter, and I expect you to act like it."
"Fine, then,"
Norman smirked. Though her next words made it fall right back into a frown.
"What if I don't want to be your daughter?"
The table gasped. Drew put a hand on May's shoulder.
"May, are you sure you want to do this? Maybe you should think it through-"
May snapped her head around, tears visible in her eyes. "He keeps doing this to me, Drew. I can't do this anymore. I can't play his game anymore." she sobbed, as Drew pulled her into a hug. "Shhh…you're okay, you're fine."
Norman gave May a glare full of hatred. "Fine, then. I don't want a daughter like you, papers will be at your company tomorrow. I'll have them signed, and ready to go. Have fun with your parentless life. I disown you." he fled the café, leaving everyone gaping after him. Brendan ripped May away from Drew.
"She's mine." he glared. Drew rolled his eyes. "Can we not do this right now? She just got disowned by her own father, and you're saying she's mine right now?" May pulled away from Brendan, harshly, and went back to Drew.
"Get. Away. From. Me. Right. Now." she spoke through gritted teeth. Brendan stood his ground. "No."
Drew was frustrated. What was this dude's problem?
"Look, dude, you better take your friends and get out of here before I punch you in the face." Drew threatened. Brendan scoffed. "Punch? With what muscle?" he flexed his biceps, trying to impress May. Both May and Drew rolled their eyes. Then May patted Drew on the shoulder. "Show him what muscle" she smirked. Drew smirked right back, taking off his sweatshirt, revealing huge muscles, at least three times more muscular than Brendan's. "So, what's it gonna be?" Drew asked uncaringly, flexing and un-flexing his biceps. Brendan gulped, before grabbing his friends and running out the shop. Drew and the girls laughed for a moment, before remembering what had happened before. "May-" "I'm going back to my dorm guys." "What about your drink?" May looked at Drew. "Can I take it with me?" Drew nodded.
"Okay, then. Thanks guys. I'll see you at our dorm Mist."
With that, May headed out the door. That night, May barely slept a wink, wondering if the whole time her dad had been bluffing.
Drew went to bed, looking at his phone, wondering if he should send May a text. Picking up his phone, he searched for her number, clicking on the text box, texting her a 'I hope it gets better,' before going to sleep.
May's phone dinged. She looked at it, hoping it wasn't her dad. She picked it up, and was relieved and happy to see Drew's name on the notification. "I hope it gets better, Drew." She whispered to herself. Her eyes started to water slightly. "Me too, Drew, me too," she spoke quietly, hugging her phone and going to sleep.
