Chapter Two: Breaking Spirits
"Welcome to our home, er whatever," I say, somewhat glaring at Kenny, with him glaring back at me.
"Paul, why don't you lead Kenny your room while I finish making dinner?" Mom says.
"Fine!" I say leading Kenny upstairs and into my room. He grins looking around my room. "What are you smirking at?" I scowl.
"Oh, just how disorganized everything is," He says, sitting on my bed without asking. I sit in my uncomfortable chair since I know he is too snobby to actually get up when I ask. He continues to smile even harder.
"Why do keep smiling like that?"
"Just thinking about my girlfriend, and how she chose me before you could even get to her. You know what they say: The early bird gets the worm, or, in this case, the girl." This pisses me off even more.
"How did you know that I like her?!"
"Well, it's kind of obvious: the way you stare at her in class and in the lunch room, the fact that you act completely different when she walks into the room. I got to her first, but it's not like she would have picked you over me. I actually happen to be nice to her. I actually acknowledge her existence. I actually know her, and care about her, unlike you!" At this comment I stand up and pick him up by his collar. I am much bigger than he is, so I lift him off of the floor.
"I get it! You're dating Dawn! Good for you! Now stop bragging about her and shut! The! Frick! Up!" At that exact moment, Reggie walks into my room.
"Oh..." He says, holding a laugh. "Is this a bad time, or..." I put Kenny down.
"DON'T! SAY! A! THING!" I say to my brother.
"I just wanted to tell you that dinner is ready," He walks out of my room. Kenny and I follow him.
We all sit down. Kenny and I are directly facing each other, to my annoyance. We all start eating. After awhile, Kenny speaks up, "So, I asked Dawn out today. We are now dating!" He says smirking at me.
"That's great, honey," says Kenny's mom. Everyone else keeps talking about stuff while I just sit there saying nothing. When dinner is over, I go to my room, without Kenny. I stay in there all night, not saying goodbye or anything.
***********************************************
The next day at lunch, me and my friends start talking about the girls we are asking to the dance. "I want to ask Serena, but she is dating Calem Jones," States Ash.
"I am thinking about asking Korrina, but doing it terrifies me," says Clemont. "What about you, Paul?" I stay silent.
"C'mon Paul. Tell Us!" Exclaims Ash in an annoying way. He acts so much like a Freshman.
"It doesn't matter," I grumble.
"Yes it does. Now tell Us!" He responds. I stay silent, trying to control my temper. "JUST TELL US!"
"SHE WAS ALREADY ASKED OUT, OKAY!!! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!?!" I yell quietly so no one else can here it. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see someone walking towards. I recognize him as Kenny, which is just fricken amazing.
"Hey Paul," says the little piece of Garboador. "Watcha talking about? I am just hanging out with my girlfriend. You heard about that right?" I am already pissed off, so he better watch out. "Me and Dawn started dating yesterday! We are really intimate and-OOF!" I punch him straight in the face. He falls to the ground. Of course, the security guard rushes over, gets Kenny, who is fake crying, up off of the ground, and sends me, Ash, and Clemont up to the Principal's office. I messed up big time!
On the way there, Ash speaks up, "What was that? You just punched one of the most popular kids in our grade!"
"Well if you hadn't pestered me with who I wanted to ask out, I wouldn't have gotten so pissed off, I wouldn't have yelled at you, which made him come over!" I respond.
"How come you never told us you liked Dawn?"
"Do you want to end up like Kenny?"
"It's better than getting in trouble like you!"
"Will you two shut up?!" Shouts Clemont. "Do you know how bad this is? Because of this, I'll get detention, making me miss class time! I will lose my chances of becoming valedictorian, I'll go to some crap college, if I even get accepted to any college, I'll get some crap job, and I'll die alone!" I didn't know he was so adamant about that.
When we get up to the office, there is the principal, Diantha, and the vice-principals, Prof. Sycamore and Kenny's Mom. This is going to be great. "Hello boys," Says Mrs. Diantha. "I want you to explain to me what-" Kenny walks in with an ice-pack on his eye.
"Oh my baby!" Says Kenny's mom. "Are you okay?"
"I-I d-don't know," sniffles Kenny, fake crying.
"As I was saying," says Mrs. Diantha, "I want you to explain to me what happened. Let's have Kenny start first."
"Well, I was just walking to the lunch line, when these three jumped me. Clemont tackled me to the ground, Ash held me there, and Paul just threw so many punches to my face." He whimpers. I groan under my breath.
"Oh, the horror!" Says Mrs. Kengo. "May I suggest punishments, Diantha?"
"We still need to hear the other side, Dolores. So, what was your view Clemont? I know you are the least biased and always tell the truth. What happened?" Asks the Champion.
"W-well," Clemont stutters, "we were at lunch, talking about stuff, when we started talking about the dance. Ash was pestering Paul about who he was going to ask, which got on Paul's nerves, and he yelled at Ash. Kenny knew what was happening, so he came over to nag at Paul, who was jealous because he was going to ask out Dawn when Kenny asked her. Paul, already angry at Ash, stood up and punched Kenny. The security guard saw Kenny fall to the ground and sent us here. That is all that happened."
"Ash, Paul, is this what happened?" Asks Diantha.
"What Kenny said was mostly correct, except for the part about me," Says Ash, lying. Clemont, Kenny, and I all look up at him in surprise for siding with Kenny.
"Clemont's was 100% true. Punish me as you please, but leave Clemont out of it!" I say.
"Please excuse us for a moment," Says Professor Sycamore. I know Mrs. Kengo is on Kenny's side. I occasionally hear her iconic "hem hem," as she interrupts another teacher.
When they are done, they turn to us. Professor Sycamore announces, "There will be 1 week of detention to Paul, Ash, and Kenny. Clemont has no punishment!"
"WHAT?!" Exclaims both the Kengos and Ash at the same time. "Why do I get a detention?!" Ask both my enemy and my ex-friend.
"For lying. We believe Clemont's story to be the most reliable. How could Clemont be able to tackle Kenny to the ground and hold his hands down?" Mrs. Diantha laughs. Clemont is embarrassed, but laughs as well. I can tell Mrs. Kengo is not happy. "You may go to your third hour."
"Oh, Kenny, you don't have to go to class. I am taking you home," Says Kenny's Mother.
"Why does he need to go?"
"Who knows what might be wrong with him after he," She points at me, "smashed my baby in the face."
"I don't think there is anything wrong with him," Professor Sycamore mumbles.
"SINCE WHEN WERE YOU IN CHARGE OF ME, AUGUSTUS?!" Shouts Mrs. Kengo.
"Just go home. I'm not going to argue with you," Mrs. Diantha sighs.
The three of us, Ash, Clemont and I, walk out together. "What the crap man?" Clemont yells at Ash.
"I wasn't going to lose my ego." Ash responds.
"Who gives a flying flip about your ego?" I ask.
"Ash, wait!" Says Kenny, coming down the hall. "Do you want to go home with me?"
"Sure," Responds Ash. "Smell ya' later!" He says in an annoying tone.
"Well there goes our friendship," I say.
"Thanks for sticking up for me, Paul!" Says Clemont.
"Of course. I didn't want to Jeopardize your future at all. I know you are a good friend," I respond. Now I have to wait the weekend for my fricken detention.
