❝ Pure hearts; Sinful desires; Endless love ❞
"Ain't it scary? How you can have everything you wanted only to lose it next second?"
She asked the picture holding it in her hand.. Her fingers brushing over the portrait taken years ago in the memory...
"They may be fake but what they have between them is completely real and genuine.."

Rumour /ˈruːmə/ noun: A currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth... There were a lot of them surrounding him and her.. Unfortunately, the worst part about rumours is you can never know them... There is a famous saying rumors are spread by idiots and it seemed all of the Jubilife high was idiot...
They started dating?
Weren't they always too close?
Holy shit, the Ketchum corporation got their queen... I bet she is aiming for his money too...
Wait aren't her parents lawyer and judge? Should someone like Ash be with someone like her right...
Ash placed his hands over his mouth and inhaled a cold metallic smell that peered down his skin from the dumbbells he was lifting for over an hour... Those words from today rung into his mind looking at Astrid...
It begun...
Their fake dating...
"It won't change anything between us... We will still be best friends, we will still be partners and all that will change will be how people will see us... I don't care what other will think about us... Do you Ash?" Those were her exact words after she explained how this would be useful to them... This would keep the wolves off her and girls off him... She gave him example of Kei dating Hirata for her security in Classroom of elite...
It was a good offer...
But Ash knew it.. A lie may take care of the present, but it has no future... But future was talk of tomorrow.. They needed to focus on today... "So you own this entire gym... Holy shit.. You are filthy rich Ash..." Gary's voice echoed through the gym looking at all the equipments like a kid making Ash sigh... Dratini jumped onto Ninetale's back sliding down into her fluffy tail as all of them looked at them...
"..... I am?" He asked himself looking at himself in the mirror drenched in sweat.. He ignored the cut on his arms wearing his shirt back.. He walked toward him placing his hand over his shoulder leaning close to his ears...
"Did you found it? Her location I mean?" Ash asked Gary who nodded his head lightly.. Ash would have definitely kissed Cynthia last day if it wasn't for her subtle resistance but when he closed the distance between them, he did something even more important... He placed a chip on her...
"Why don't you ask G-men?" Gary asked nonchalantly with a grin.. Ash's eyes widened.. He never told anything about him being in G-men to Gary at least.. The subtle grin he had made Ash wonder how he knew... His face questioned how and Gary saw it leaning onto his ears..
