All You Need Is Love

Chapter 13 p2

Gary's POV
"You have a nice battle room?!" I say to Serena when she walks in the door.
"Gary, you weren't supposed to go anywhere else except the living room!" She says, throwing her backpack on the couch.
"What happened? Did Blue try anything?" I inquire. Serena shakes her head going into the fridge and taking out two smoothies.
"No, just math." She says, handing me the smoothie.
"Serena, why didn't you tell me you could sing?" I say, referring to a picture in her room.
"I- wait.. how did you know I could sing? Did you go in my room?!" She glares at me coldly.
"Yeah, but I didn't touch anything! I swear! Well, I touched the door and that was it!" I say, backing away slowly. Serena takes another drink of her smoothie, which was already half way done. I take a drink of mine. Serena puts her drink down and sits on the couch. I put mine down and sit next to her.
"That was a long time ago. I used to sing to my little sister before she died." She says, her eyes welling up in tears. I wrap arms around her. And to my surprise, she hugs me back. Then I hear a voice, it sounds like an angel.
"If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea," Serena sang. I realized this was Count On Me by Bruno Mars. But why? That song has been dead for years now.
"I'll sail the world to find you..
If you ever get lost in the dark and you can't see...
I'll be the light.. to guide you..."
"Find out what we're made of.. When we are called to help our friends in need.." I sang gently with her.
"You can count on me like 1,2,3..
I'll be there..." Serena sang the chorus gently.
"Count On Me was her favorite song," she said wiping her tears.
"I don't care how overrated people say it is! Seji loved it so I love it!!" She says, with sadness in her eyes. I patted her back.
"I'm here for you Serena." I pull her back and kiss her forehead.
"Don't forget your stupid hedgehog." I say.

THE NEXT DAY

Serena's POV
I woke up in the morning and brushed my teeth. They were white and pearly as usual. Today was the day. Battle day for me in my battling class. I take battling day very seriously. It's one of favorite days of the week. It's my turn to battle somebody in my class. Everyone watches you. Everyone in Mr. A. Patches class AND everyone Mr. B. Patches. (We call them A and B because they are married and Mr. B changed his name) You would think I would hate to battle, but it's one of my favorite things to do along with contests and showcases. Okay, what should I wear? I grab my pokeballs and place them gently in my backpack. I don't take all my pokemon. I have way more than six pokemon, but I only take the six I need. I pull a out some bright pink jeans and pair it with a white, off the shoulder top. I grab my pink scrunchie and tie my hair up in a ponytail. I rush into the kitchen and eat a bowl of frosted flakes. I throw on my back pack and take out Sylveon's pokeball.
"Come on Sylveon!" I say, Sylveon comes out and beams at me, knowing it's battle day. We leave the house and get to school.
