Pokemon High

Chapter 7

Ahhhh sorry this took forever I kinda forgot I'll try and make more updates soon!

As May wandered to lunch, she looked around for Ash.

Drew would probably be mad at her for going on ahead without him but right now, she didn't care. She had a boy to find.

As she entered the cafeteria, her eyes immediately flew to Ash's lunch table where he was sitting with his Kalos friends.

She spotted Serena already flirting with Ash. The blonde guy sitting across from them seemed to be watching her intently.

Clemont, right? If I could just get her to fall for him, then Ash will be mine!

"Hey, May!" Dawn popped up from behind her.
"Oh, hey, Dawn!" May smiled, hiding her frustration.
Dawn looked over to Ash and saw Serena already there. "So we had the same idea?"
"About?"
"Serena and the blonde guy. Duh" Dawn scoffed.
May blinked and then smiled deviously. "I like how you think, Ms. Berlitz."
Dawn held out her hand for May to shake. "Truce until we eliminate Serena from the competition?"
May shook it with determination. "Obviously."

The pair skittered over to Ash's table and sat on both sides of Clemont.

"Hey, guys!" May smiled.
"What's up?" Dawn asked.

Serena and Ash stopped talking. Ash flashed them a smile while Serena looked cross. She saw right through their bullshit smiles.

"Hey, guys! Serena and I were just talking about how awesome Pokémon are! Like Pikachu's electro ball was amazing in battles class!" Ash's eyes shined with excitement.

The girls all exchanged a look. Typical Ash.

"Well, you and Serena can continue talking about Pikachu." May waved.
Dawn placed her arm around Clemont. "Yea, we're actually here for uh..."
"Clemont." May whispered.
"Clemont! Need to have a talk about classes and all that!" Dawn said.

"Ok, cool! So Serena...."

Ash continued talking about his beloved partner. Serena pretended to be interested as she shot them occasional suspicious glances.

"So, Clemont...." May started.
"You into any girls? Or guys? Or anyone?" Dawn asked.

Clemont blushed slightly but he continued to page through his book.

"How about Serena? She's really pretty." May said.
"Don't you just adore those blue eyes of hers? I mean, I'm not gay, but if I was, damnnnnn." Dawn whistled softly.

Clemont's face flushed a deep red as he quickly closed his book and set it on the table.

"I know you guys like Ash." He hissed.

Dawn and May sat up and looked at each other before turning their attention back to Clemont.

"How much do you know?" May asked, making sure not to grab Serena and Ash's attention.
"Enough to know that you guys like him and that you're all in a competition for him." Clemont whispered.
"How do you know this?" Dawn questioned.
"Serena, obviously. She knew you'd try to hook me up with her so that you're one girl less for Ash and that you think I have a crush on her." Clemont explained.

The girls paused and then looked at him in confusion, scrunching their faces.

"Don't you though?" May said.
"Like Serena, we mean." Dawn continued.
"N-No...." Clemont said.
May clicked her tongue in disapproval. "Oh, sweet Clemont. Why're you lying?"
"I'm n-"
"Shut up, liar. You do like her. Everyone in Pokémon High knows you have the biggest crush on her. I don't even know who's more oblivious. Her or Ash?" Dawn shook her head.

Clemont was silent and then sighed. "Fine. Maybe a tiny crush...but what does it matter? She's into Ash. Always has been."
"That, my friend, is about to change." May smiled sweetly.
"Look, pal. Only reason she's not into you is because of...and no offense...how you dress. I mean, seriously. A blue and yellow jumpsuit? Barf." Dawn pretended to gag.
"Shut up. Anyways, Clemont. Dawn and I are, as you should already know, two of the top coordinators, so...we've got style. You...have a book bag with a claw and, I'm sorry, a prison suit. I'm sure with a little of our help, you'll look like a suave guy with personality, brains, and style. Serena will totally see you in a different light. So you in?" May offered.

Clemont squinted. "Shouldn't she like me for me?"
Dawn scoffed. "Oh, she will, no need to worry. But she can't if all she can see is an ultimate nerd. You know, it's always better to make a good first impression."
"And don't worry about you already knowing each other. She knows what you're already like so she's know you're sweet and kind and smart and all that. Now with a little push from us, she'll know you even more than just the surface of your glasses." May added.

"You in?" They both asked.

Clemont bit the inside of his lip, nervously. He knew he was in love with Serena and that she deserved someone who would love her unconditionally and someone who wanted to know her as more than just what she put out there. He knew that he could be that guy. He sighed. He also knew that Serena would never let him since all she could see was...a science geek.

He clenched his teeth and then nodded. "I'm in."
