HI!!!!!!!!!! I'm back and I know its been a while and most people have forgotten my work but I actually wrote this story and saved over it by accident and that was horrible. But anyway this is a romance because that's what I write most of the time {Heck all of the time}. I know its not a very original idea, a high school fic but I think its got great potential, not my story, the idea. Also I intend on putting a lot of songs into this so bear with me and I'm hoping to match up a good few couples. So here's my disclaimer
Pokemon and the aforementioned characters are property of Nintendo
But the story is mine and if somebody intends on stealing it, please don't. It will achieve nothing, if you want to use it for some reason, please contact me.

Please read and review, it's my first story in quite a while so I'm a little nervous

Chapter one
A fifteen-year-old took a deep breath as he gazed at the building that stood before him.
He heard nothing but good things about it: nice teachers, good facilities, friendly students, beautiful architecture, roomy so that it wasn't confining, freedom within limits and beautiful location. He had to admit the place looked nice and the building was indeed beautiful. He exhaled, trying to calm his nerves as he took the first steps into a major part of his new life. His mom had moved them and it was his first day at the school. It was important. He missed his old school, his old friends and even his old teachers. He noticed students passing by him, unaware of how lucky they were to know this school that well. They all looked perfectly at home. Happily living in their own world and that's what this school was, a world of their own.
"Hi" a bright voice chirped.
He turned around and jumped.
An attractive girl, a very attractive girl with long shining green hair that gleamed in the light, was standing behind him. She held one hand by her hip and the other hand held it behind her back. She had large brown eyes that glittered with friendliness, affection and humour. She wore a tight fitting red dress that went down to her mid thighs. Along with a pair of baggy jeans and a long sleeved white tee shirt lacy sleeves. She had a purple backpack on her back {Surprisingly}
"My name is Duplica. You're new here huh? You'll fit right in here, welcome to school. I'll show you around " the girl exclaimed enthusiastically.
Um, thanks" Todd said, a little shakily.
Cute girls usually never went out of their way to talk to him. The bell rang loudly, the sound slicing through their brains.
He saw Duplica cringe and turn to him with a smile.
"Do you want me to come with you to the office?" she asked, smiling.
"No, I'm ok. You should get to class" he told he with a reassuring grin.
"Ohh look, Duplica's got ANOTHER friend who won't see her as anything but one of the guys, and how many would that be?" a taunting voice asked. A stunning brunette stood behind them, hand on her hip. Waist long rich hazel hair swung as the girl spoke and her dark brown eyes filled with malice.
Duplica spun on her heel and gave Duplica a mocking smile.
"Well gee, Giselle. I don't know, how about you try counting it on your fingers. I know its hard, but you've been getting so close and any day now I know you'll master it" she said in a sickly sweet voice with pseudo encouragement dripping from her voice.
Giselle look at her wide eyed and then narrowed her beautiful rich eyes.
"Uch whatever" she said dismissing Duplica with a flick of her slender hand, as she usually did when she lost a battle of the wits and she always lost when she chose to fight Duplica. Duplica made a face at the brunette's back and looked at Todd with an apologetic smile.
"Sorry about her, hey what's your name?" she asked suddenly, realising that she had forgotten one of the most basic techniques of making a friendship.
"Todd but my friends call me Snap, you better get to class though"Snap said, eyeing the teacher who was walking towards them with long strides.
Duplica smiled at him again but this time it was a different one, like a secretive smile, revealing her happiness at the knowledge of his name or nickname. She walked away down the hall but threw him an intrigued smile. Snap smiled and awaited the teacher's arrival to get directions to the office.
After about twenty minutes, Snap found himself wondering down the hall searching for a certain class. When he found it he took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He had seen new students at his old school and he knew how they had been treated. He opened the door and everyone's heads swung around to stare at him. As he walked down the aisle silence rang out. His shoes squeaked softly as he made his way down when he spotted Duplica and slid into the empty seat next to her. Behind him, a boy his own age with spiky black hair watched him curiously. The spikes fell over his forehead and it appeared to be floppy more than spiky. He had tanned skin and brown eyes. Next to him a boy the same age as him, slightly shorter was leaning back in his chair. He had chesntnut hair that sprouted out beneath the hat he wore. His eyes were closed and appeared to be sleeping. The class went on, everyone apparently forgetting about the newcomer and as did the next few classes but Snap never got a chance to meet up with Duplica or any of her other friends. Every teacher held him back after class to talk somethings' out with him. Finally lunch came and Snap headed down towards the cafeteria. He was lining up in the queue when some started picking things of the counter and placing them on his tray. Duplica winked as she sank her teeth into an apple.
The gangs hanging outside and I thought you'd like to join us and treat me a free lunch"
"Do I have a choice in the matter?"
"Nope"
"Fever night, fever night, Fever
We know how to do it" Ash sang.
"Knock it off" Misty's irritable voice snapped.
"Fever night, fever night, fever" he continued.
"Oh all alright, here" Misty cried in exasperation as she shoved the sandwich over to Ash
"We know how to show it" he finished before he tore into the sandwich.
"You're such a charmer" Misty remarked sarcastically and then stretched out on the soft grass.
"I know, a lady killa' from the 70's"
"If by "lady killa'" you mean you make ladies want to kill you then I agree"
"And you've decided you're a lady since when and more importantly. Why?" Brock piped up from behind them, he was leaning against a tree in the shade, arms tucked behind his head. He and Ash both laughed at his joke and both received a mouthful of grass each. Misty then stretched her arms above her head, giggling as Ash and Brock spat out the grass and began coughing grass.
"That looks less then pleasant" Richie remarked as he sauntered over to them
"I'm thirsty, I'm gonna head and grab a drink" Misty announced and walked off towards the cafeteria
With that, she stood up and walked off, Ash looking after her almost longingly but coughed a grass ball on Richie's shoe.
"Dude!"
"Oh wait, I have to get something, wait here," Duplica said and she turned and ran off. Snap held his hands behind his back and became whistling. He began rocking back and forth on his heels. He began looking around taking in the surroundings.
His whistling got louder and took a swig from his drink.
"Hey buddy, do you take requests?"
Snap jumped and turned around and nearly fainted. The girl standing behind him made his breathless. The girl was looking at him blankly, somewhat bemused. Fiery red hair gleamed under the sunlight making shine and when she wind blew, rustling she short locks, the hair came alive like a dancing fire. A pair of baggy black hipsters that rested on her hips showing off her slender flat stomach disguised her long legs. Her skin looked silky and creamy. Her curves were shown off well by the very short, long sleeved top she had with a vest top of equal length over it. She was the same height as him but she was still taller than most girls were. She tilted her head causing her red hair that spiked out to fall at the side of her sweet face. The most striking thing about her were her eyes. They were a mixture of blue and green and reminded him of the Mediterranean Sea; she was probably as deep as that ocean. These were the sort of eyes that you could get lost in. His mind struck completely blank
"Hmm, guess not" she remarked.
His lungs finally had enough of not getting any oxygen and he sprayed out the drink from his mouth. He hadn't meant to, sometimes his internal bodily organs didn't get along and there has been a battle between his brain, his heart and his lungs but all seemed pretty week without oxygen. He stood looking at Misty shocked; her hair glistening from the drink he had showed her in. Her hand wiped the layer of 7up with some other things that had and the important word is HAD been in Snap's mouth. She wiped the drink from her face giving Snap a glare a Gyrados would have been afraid.
"Nice to meet you too" she, pushing the wet strands that clung to her already wet face. They heard someone gasp and burst out laughing. Duplica arrived back holding a notebook
"Hey Misty, you ok?" she greeted, trying to hold in the unbearable need to laugh.
"Hey, what's up with the fountain of eternal fizzy drinks here" Misty asked nodding at Snap who had gone silent from the shock of meeting this redheaded beauty and then drenching them. Somehow when he dreamed of meeting the prettiest girl he'd even seen, projecting things from his mouth at her, hadn't really fitted into the dream.
"Be nice to fountain..I mean Snap" Duplica said and tossed Snap an assuring smile.
"Ok, OK. So your names Snap?" Misty asked facing him terrifying him without even attempting to do any such thing.
"Well that's what my friends call me. I'm a photographer" he explained finally finding his ability to speak.
"Really?" both girls asked, surprised.
"I'm Misty" Misty said and held out her hand to shake.
"You can't go wrong if you have us for friends" Duplica said with a wink.
"Yeah plus Misty could beat the crap outta anyone who crosses you," A voice added. Ash and Brock had come up behind them.
"True but then in a violent rampage she could turn on you. Quite frankly, I'm not sure it's worth the risk. Me? I was drawn in a long time ago. I simply am trapped. You can getaway, thought" Ash joked. Misty swung around to fix Ash with a death glare.
"Awhh isn't she cyuuuuttteeeee when she's pouty" Ash said ruffling Misty's hair then took off sprinting away.
"GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE!!!!!!!" Misty yelled tearing after him leaving the others to follow.
A large group congregated near one guy. The guy who was the most popular guy in school, the guy who was the toughest guy in school, the guy who always got what he wanted. The guy who had floppy red hair and a red shirt and was always in the centre of attention and happy to be there.
He heard Misty yell out at Ash and he stood up, all the followers of his snickering, eager to see what he would say to the redhead as he blocked her path. Snap, Duplica and Brock all stopped and watched and Ash watched from a distance. Misty personified annoyance at the moment. Her arms folded across her chest, leaning back on her left foot while her right foot tapped impatiently, her facial expression was one of boredom.
"Hey Mist, I'll move my butt wherever you want me to" he said coming within inches on her faces. Her cheeks flushed with anger and a smirk crept across her face.
"Then how about out of my face? " she shot back, her hand slapping onto her hip and the other falling by her side, the smirk not moving.
Richie took a step back and ran his hand through his hair. He could hear all the laughs even the stifled ones.
"So you still haven't come around, Mist?" he asked
"Apparently not" Misty replied. Rudy stared at her, willing her to back down and cave. So for a few intense moments both pairs of eyes locked, neither defences willing to crumble. Rudy saw the determination in her eyes and the dislike
"Maybe some other time, Mist. But you are going to cave" he said and walked away. This was pretty much an empty prediction, as Misty was known to be able to trample even the toughest of guys.
Snap let out sigh, disappointed and relieved. He was glad that Misty shot this guy down but if she was able to shoot down THAT guy so easily then what hope did Snap himself have. Ash shook his head, he really wished Misty had never hit puberty. When they were ten, no other guy but him was even interested in Misty and if they were it had nothing to do with her looks. When Misty was a kid, she was tomboy and that made it even harder for any guy to like her in any other light. Well any other guy than him. Now that they were teens, it seemed every guy wanted a piece of the action. Not that Misty couldn't handle them but it bugged him when they were interrupted.
"Heya Misty?" Brock asked, tapping her shoulder. Misty turned around to look at him when he grabbed her and slung her over his shoulder. Ash then proceeded to throw grass in her hair. Misty shrieked but you could tell her that she was having fun as were Brock and Ash. Misty eventually struggled out of Brock's grasp but the shifting of the weight caused Brock to lose his balance and the pair landed in a tangled heap on the ground. Misty freed herself first and stood over Brock with an evil smile.
"Please Misty, it was Ash's idea" Brock pleaded, jokingly.
"Sellout" they heard Ash yell somewhere from behind Duplica and Snap.
"I'll deal with him when we go home" Misty said.
Misty nearly always went home with Ash because her sisters drove her nuts and it was hardly like Ash or her Mom disliked her and visits.
Brock stood up and he was taller than she was.
"I am not afraid of a girl," he said in a deep voice that boomed out.
But when he looked on the feisty redhead who had the bravest men trembling. No one knew how or why, Misty never looked exceptionally strong or tough but may God have mercy on the fool who thought she wasn't. Everyone who ever met Misty would learn that in an instant and had.
"I'm so sorry, please don't hurt me," he cried, crouching down so he had to look up at Misty. The bell rang, starling everyone and making them jump. Misty sighed and walked over to Richie and shook his shoulder. He opened one eye lazily and yawned.
"Let's go, sleeping beauty," she said.
Richie yawned and turned his back to her.
"Again?" she asked.
"Hey I'm trying to toughen up and I haven't saved up for real weights so until I do, it's you and Duplica," he said as he hoisted Misty up on his back.
Misty slung her arms loosely around his neck. They caught up with Ash and Brock while Snap and Duplica held back.
"Why not try Ash?" Misty suggested as they walked next to Ash.
"Did you see how much he ate, I'm trying to toughen myself not kill myself and I like my spine" he joked.
"Hey!" Ash cried defensively.
"Plus that would be such a disturbing image, I'm shuddering to think of it" Duplica added.
"Face it Misty, he using you and Duplica as weights"
"Man, I gotta get you some more female friend type people" Misty said with a sigh.
"You're friends are pretty great" Snap told Duplica as they started making their way to class.
"Um yeah, they're the best " Duplica said without her usual enthusiasm. She had seen the way Snap had looked at Misty all the way through the lunch break.
"Whoa" Brock said halting suddenly.
He was leading however and Ash crashed into him and in turn Richie with Misty crashed into Ash creating a domino effect. Richie struggled to regain his balance; after all he had to regain balance for two now.
"Hey! I've gotta highly volatile redhead on my back. Don't do anything to alarm her" Richie cried.
"When really she's more afraid of you then you are of her and so sudden movements," Ash joked.
"What am I? A spearow?" Misty snapped, then her voice changed back to a casual tone. "Anyway, redheads are supposed to fiery. It's the unwritten law of the land"
Everyone followed Brock's gaze to where Giselle was standing. Giselle with the perfect figure in her rich green sundress and her waist long luxurious chestnut tresses and her big beautiful eyes with that beauty spot below her left eye.
"Hey what's up with Brock?" Duplica asked as came up beside them with Snap
A dirty smirk crossed Richie's face,
" I think I know and it's located somewhere down sou... OWW!"
Richie turned his head back as far as it would to glare at the redhead currently residing on his back.
"None of that sorta talk, now you hear me" Misty told him with a strict look.
Giselle walked towards them, her Cubone in tow.
Giselle walked past Brock as if she didn't see and straight to Ash.
"Hi Ash" she purred. Richie felt Misty tense up on his back.
"Have a good summer?" Giselle continued, batting her eyelashes at him. Ash was beginning to get uncomfortable, but then he wasn't the only one.
"Yeah, I had fun"
"I bet you did, in fact I bet you always have fun" she said with a sweet giggle and she gently pushed his shoulder with her hand, the picture of femininity.
"Misty, please..I ..can't.. breathe" Richie choked out, his face turning an unhealthy shade of red.
Duplica turned and gasped when she saw Misty's arms tightening around Richie's neck with every word that Giselle said to Ash.
Misty let go of him when she finally seemed to notice that she was choking Richie instead of the brunette. Duplica suppressed a laugh.
"I better go" Giselle said in a silky voice and she walked away, with such grace that it seemed she was floating. She was in truth completely opposite to Misty.
"Ash, you're so annoying " Misty snapped form her perch on Richie's back.
"What?" Ash asked, defensively and CVONFUSED. Ash KNEW that sometimes he was dense but somehow he doubted a rocket scientist could understand why Misty was suddenly angry with him. Duplica eyed Misty, concerned. Maybe a rocket scientist couldn't figure it out but all depended on whether this scientist was a male or female because Duplica was female and she DEFINITELY got it
"You don't get it.. you don't get me" Misty told him angrily and then stormed off towards the school.
"No argument here" Ash responded annoyed at her behaviour but more annoyed at its randomness and his inability to understand.
The rest of the group watched them, with uneasy feelings in the pits of their stomachs.
This was going to be some day

Chapter one
A fifteen-year-old took a deep breath as he gazed at the building that stood before him.
He heard nothing but good things about it: nice teachers, good facilities, friendly students, beautiful architecture, roomy so that it wasn't confining, freedom within limits and beautiful location. He had to admit the place looked nice and the building was indeed beautiful. He exhaled, trying to calm his nerves as he took the first steps into a major part of his new life.

He was leading however and Ash crashed into him and in turn Richie with Misty crashed into Ash creating a domino effect. Richie struggled to regain his balance; after all he had to regain balance for two now.
"Hey! I've gotta highly volatile redhead on my back. Don't do anything to alarm her" Richie cried.
"When really she's more afraid of you then you are of her and so sudden movements," Ash joked.
"What am I? A spearow?" Misty snapped, then her voice changed back to a casual tone. "Anyway, redheads are supposed to fiery. It's the unwritten law of the land"
Everyone followed Brock's gaze to where Giselle was standing. Giselle with the perfect figure in her rich green sundress and her waist long luxurious chestnut tresses and her big beautiful eyes with that beauty spot below her left eye.
"Hey what's up with Brock?" Duplica asked as came up beside them with Snap
A dirty smirk crossed Richie's face,
" I think I know and it's located somewhere down sou... OWW!"
Richie turned his head back as far as it would to glare at the redhead currently residing on his back.
"None of that sorta talk, now you hear me" Misty told him with a strict look.
Giselle walked towards them, her Cubone in tow.
Giselle walked past Brock as if she didn't see and straight to Ash.
"Hi Ash" she purred. Richie felt Misty tense up on his back.
"Have a good summer?" Giselle continued, batting her eyelashes at him. Ash was beginning to get uncomfortable, but then he wasn't the only one.
"Yeah, I had fun"
"I bet you did, in fact I bet you always have fun" she said with a sweet giggle and she gently pushed his shoulder with her hand, the picture of femininity.
"Misty, please..I ..can't.. breathe" Richie choked out, his face turning an unhealthy shade of red.
Duplica turned and gasped when she saw Misty's arms tightening around Richie's neck with every word that Giselle said to Ash.
Misty let go of him when she finally seemed to notice that she was choking Richie instead of the brunette. Duplica suppressed a laugh.
"I better go" Giselle said in a silky voice and she walked away, with such grace that it seemed she was floating. She was in truth completely opposite to Misty.
"Ash, you're so annoying " Misty snapped form her perch on Richie's back.
"What?" Ash asked, defensively and CVONFUSED. Ash KNEW that sometimes he was dense but somehow he doubted a rocket scientist could understand why Misty was suddenly angry with him. Duplica eyed Misty, concerned. Maybe a rocket scientist couldn't figure it out but all depended on whether this scientist was a male or female because Duplica was female and she DEFINITELY got it
"You don't get it.. you don't get me" Misty told him angrily and then stormed off towards the school.
"No argument here" Ash responded annoyed at her behaviour but more annoyed at its randomness and his inability to understand.
The rest of the group watched them, with uneasy feelings in the pits of their stomachs.
This was going to be some day
