Chapter 8

-Wednesday-

I woke up –of course, not wanting to- and got ready for the day. Summer had already left, but May was drooling all over her pillow.

I cleared my voice, approached her bedside, and exclaimed, "MAY!" She woke up and hit her head with the bunk bed.

"Dawn what the hell?" She said annoyed as she rubbed her eyes.

"You better get ready as quick as possible because we've only got 10 minutes." I smiled.

She crawled out of bed and into the bathroom.

"May… you have legs." I reminded her. I could hear her laugh.

May and I each grabbed a snack bar and headed out the room. 4 minutes.

"I'm outta time and all I've got is four minutes fikki fikki four minutes, ey!" May sang. I laughed and shook my head.

"WE ONLY GOT FOUR MINUTES TO SAVE THE WORLD!" I shouted loud enough for the whole hall to hear me. May laughed her head off at the looks people were giving us.

"Oh hello Justin Timberlake and Timbaland." I heard someone say behind me.

"Maddona!" I exclaimed as I hugged Ash.

"Hey, why am I Maddona?" Ash pouted.

"Because… she's the only one left." I laughed.

"2 minutes!" Drew said.

"Hurry!" May chimed.

In the end we got to class. Nothing worth saying happening before lunch, except that Ursula's hair poofed in chemistry due to an experiment, but that's a whole different story.

I took Ash's hand and swished it around as I walked with Gary and Summer.

"Why are you so happy today?" Ash asked.

"I don't know… yesterday I went for a walk in the night and I feel so refreshed today!" I smiled.

"Yeah… you woke me up for the rest of the night." Summer frowned.

"You could've followed me." I stuck my tongue out playfully at her.

We walked into the cafeteria to be greeted by May and Drew.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Ketchum. Greetings Mr. and Mrs. Oak." Drew said formally.

"Mrs. Oak, in yo dreams!" Summer exclaimed.

"Yo? Young lady this is a p-r-i-v-a-t-e school, not the hood." Drew said as he pretended to fix his tie. Ash, May, Gary and myself laughed until we had tears forming in our eyes.

Summer rolled her eyes and someone very similar to Gary approached us.

"Green!" Ash said as he bro-fisted Green, Gary's twin brother. This caught Summer's attention.

"T-Twin? Gary you never told me you had a brother. A twin brother per se." Summer said.

"I met you a few days ago." Gary said rudely.

"Hi, I'm Summer. How come I haven't seen you around?" Summer put her hand out for him to shake.

"I'm in your class…" Green sighed. Green noticed me and greeted me. "Oh, hello Dawn." Green smiled.

"Hey… Green." I said remembering what Ash had called him. How does he know who I am though?

"What did you come here for?" Gary turned to Green.

"Just passed by you and figured I should say hi. I guess I'll be leaving now." He said as he walked away.

"What was that all about?" Summer asked.

"Ehh, don't worry about it. He's a wallflower." Gary said as we went to sit down at one of the tables at the lunchroom. Leaf came along and slumped next to Gary.

"Hey guys." She said looking tired.

"Hey Sloppy Joe's." May –who was sitting in front of her- said. Leaf glared at her, stole one of Gary's chips and threw it at May. "That's for being rude."

"Hey, that was my chip!" Gary complained and everyone laughed.

"I'm hungry, I'm gonna go buy something. Does anyone want anything?" I asked.

"Water." Ash said, followed by Leaf asking for chips.

"I'll go with you." Ash said as he got up.

"Okay, we'll be right back." I said as I got up from the table and followed Ash to the line.

I spotted Misty, who was now writing in the same notebook I gave back to her yesterday. I sighed and went back to looking at the line.

"You okay?" Ash asked.

"Yeah, just thinking." I answered him smiling. He smiled back and we got our food. I got a pizza and Leaf's chips and Ash got his water. We sat back down and May looked at me as if I had grown another head.

"Dawn, I thought you ate healthy?" May asked confused.

"Hey, every girl needs a day of indulgence." I smiled as I munched on my pizza.

"Hey Leaf, catch!" I exclaimed as I threw the chips at her, which she caught. The bell rang and I sighed, remembering I hadn't finished my pizza. Or did I? I looked down and my pizza had 'disappeared', meaning Ash ate it.

"Ash! That was my pizza?" I pouted.

"What are you talking about?" Ash asked trying to pull a poker face.

"Ash you've got tomato sauce in the sides of your lips!" I said as I cleaned him up with a napkin.

He laughed.

"I'll buy you one after school, kay?"

"Alright."

"Shoot May, we forgot to do Pokemon Check today." I remembered.

"It's okay, you don't have to do it everyday in the moring. They take the previous days final result and use it as the other days beginning result. You do have to do it at the end of the day though." Leaf answered. "Oh and remember when you left to talk to Ash –skip class- during History? The teacher assigned a project about important leaders in the history of Pokémon. You're going with Paul." She informed me.

"Oh, okay. But why is the science fair so early?" I asked. Leaf just shrugged and we went to class.

After class, we went to check our Pokémon and then sat down on the floor. Today had been a long, funny day.

I saw Paul approach me.

"Hey Berlitz-"

"Dawn." I cut him off and smiled.

"Dawn… What are we doing for our project?" He asked, uninterested.

"Uh… I don't know. I think we should get together at the lounge and figure it all out later." I said.

"No. Now. It's a long project." He demanded.

"He's right." Leaf interfered.

"Fine… I'll just get my laptop and some paper. You go get anything you need." I told Paul. Then I turned to May, Summer and Leaf. "If Ash comes up here asking for me tell him that I'm working on the history project with Paul and that he can text me if he wants. See ya."

Ooh, project with Paul. How do you guys like this chapter. I love it, it been the most fun to write hands down. Comment! Love, Katie.
