The Aura Awakens

Chapter 2: Two Different Worlds

May's P.O.V

When I got to school this morning I didn't expect to see a crowd of people surrounding Paul and a raven haired teen, who had saved a slightly younger red haired teen. I couldn't believe these people! They were just willing to let this guy get beat up by (who many and myself included) called the biggest bully ever? Well I wouldn't stand for this!

I was able to get Paul to back off from the teen and wanted to talk to him; except I knew that the bell would be ringing soon and went to class hesitantly. I went to my seat and grabbed my binders from my yellow backpack when I saw the same teen from before enter. He was in my class this whole time? How did I not notice that before... boy do I feel bad now

The first thing I said to him was "I thought that what you did out there was great. It was stupid, but it was great". It was a compliment of course, what he did to help out was something I saw very few do in this school and as such I felt he deserved to have some

Unfortunately he didn't respond to my comment and I was going to leave him alone, until I asked for his name. I saw the surprise and hesitation when he heard my question; however I was happy when he responded with his name

'Ash Ketchum... I think Dawn mentioned him as one of the boys who Paul and many others think of him as outcast' I told him my name with a smile, but then frowned at his last comment about not helping him in the future... what exactly is going on in this school? I was going to ask him why he said that, but the teacher just had to catch me talking and asked me to pay attention

Now people might ask, why not at the end of class. Answer is that I wanted to talk with him some more after class, but he literally just bolted out of the room once the bell rung and I couldn't even get one word out. I sighed in defeat as my chance to talk to him was gone and this was also getting slightly annoying... maybe I'll see him in lunch and get to talk there

A few hours later, Lunch Time (Ash's P.O.V)

"Remember class, read chapters 4-6 by this Wednesday and finish your role for literary circle on Thursday. You are being marked for participation after all and I don't want another repeat of last time" Ms. Bertha said as the bell signaling lunch rang

I pull everything back into my backpack and went straight towards my locker so I could get my lunch. Since I didn't want to run into Paul or his lackeys again, I was out of the hallway before it was too crowded to walk. However, along the way I thought I saw May going to the upstairs floor

Once I made it to the cafeteria, I saw Gary waving me over from the back. I walked over towards our regular table and saw Leaf sitting there as well. Leaf was also a childhood friend of mine who like I said before had stuck by my side, however she would only sit with Gary and me during lunch on Monday, Wednesday and Friday due to having no club meetings those days

"I saw you get saved from Paul and his gang on Instagram by the daughter of the police captain" Gary started saying as Leaf looked up at me with a curious expression "What was that all about? I mean other than Dawn Berlitz; she's the only other girl at the top of the social ladder to do something about Paul and his bullying"

"Maybe she isn't like the other stuck up girls in this school" Leaf said in a somewhat angry tone. Let's just say Leaf has some issues when it comes to the popular girls... especially the most popular girl and queen of the school; Serena Yvonne

"Could be, I mean she did transfer over from Petalburg High last year so maybe that's why she's being nice... once she realizes the truth she'll be demanding things from us like the other shallow people in this school" I said as I saw the same brunette we were talking about suddenly appear into the cafeteria with Dawn and another blonde haired girl... Lillie I think was her name and watched them all sit down at a table a couple of feet from ours
