The elemental assassins

First day jitters

Mays POV
If this boy thinks a rose will make up for the humiliation I just went through I fumed at my thoughts.

I knew it wasn't completely the boys fault for the incident but he didn't seem too fazed on it. Before I can tell him as much the bell rang. First period was about to start.

The groups had been talking to each other, making small talk. The boy who seemed most focused on me was Drew, the youngest of the targets.

"Let me walk you to class." He spoke, the smirk on his face holding the confidence he felt in himself for all to see.

I just brush past him and walk.

"May!" Leaf calls out. The girls are hot on my tail.

"Why did they have to be our targets." I glowered, ignoring their calls after us. Dawn just winks at me. With a flick of her wrist, the boy shouts a confused; "what the?"

I turn to find the boys blazer thrown over his head, the gush of window softening as it move to rattle some of the papers taped to the locker doors.

"Ugh, our lockers," I groaned, only now remembering our task.

"It's okay, we'll find them after class." Leaf smiled at me, reassuring as always.

"Okay." I take a breath. The classroom door seemed more daunting than it had moments ago, the idea now being a reality. An arm wraps around my shoulders.

"Come on," Misty smiles, Togepi calling from her other arm. "We'll be great."

Eevee jumps up and clings to my shoulder, nuzzling into my cheek. I knew she was telling me she agreed. We can do this.

The classrooms chatter quietens as we open the door. The class turns, eyes flickering over the four of us. Timidly I push through, any confidence I gained back slowly dwindling now.

Misty squeezed me, before one by one the girls made their way through the room. There were a few empty seats spread out between classmates, and my eyes zoned in on the one at  the back.

"You must be May, am I right?" A girl asked as I walked past. Her voice was sickerly-sweet in its fake tone. I tried to ignored her, but she wasn't having it.

She snatched the rose from my hair and twirled it between her fingers. "You got yourself a new rose?"

"Yeah. Why do you want to know?" My voice was clipped as I asked. Her Skitty was mocking in its call. Eevee shifted in my arms, upset.

"Hey, don't go all stiff on me now." She smirked. Her friends beside her laughed as their Pokémon joined in. Eevee jumped from my arms, heckles raised, only to be frightened off by one of the girls Geodudes.

"What did you call me?" I asked anger rising in my voice. I took a step forwards, my teeth grinding in anger. Eevee grumbled from behind my legs.

"Oh did I offend the precious princess stiff of the janitor closet?" She giggled. "Upset someone took your bucket crown?"

The classroom began to laugh altogether. I grabbed Eevee and made my way to the back of the classroom. Eevee jumped down on my empty desk as sat, waiting for me to give her a pat.

Mistys POV

I turned around hearing a group of girls laughing and pointing at May as she made her way to the back. No doubt it was about the mop bucket incident this morning. I looked at the other girls and they gave me worried glances. I go to sit with her, but Leaf shakes her head.

We have to stay on mission. With a sigh I sit down at my seat and hope May is okay. Togepi chirps from where it sits on my desk. I smile down at her.

"Mist?" I heard a familiar voice call my name. Snapping me out of thought, I turned to the raven haired boy making his way over to me. Ash.
