Serena's POV:

There's something that I've been keeping from Lisia for a while. I would tell her but, I know she probably won't react well as she has a crush on me.

The thing is, I have a crush on Ash. You know, Ash Ketchum? The world champion who recently beat Leon? Yes, that's him.

He's just so cute and I really want to tell him how I feel. I know I've kissed him before but this time I want to say it in words just in case he doesn't understand.

But the thing is, how do I tell Lisia? I know I could just leave without saying anything at all but I wouldn't want to worry her and it also wouldn't feel right to do that.

I really like her as a friend and I don't want to ruin the friendship we have just because I don't necessarily feel the same way and want to be with someone else.

This is all so difficult. I really do wish she didn't have a crush on me so it wouldn't be so hard to tell her and then go off to find true love with her support.

I know she probably will react fine but, I feel like she'll just hide how she really feels. I know she'll be sad but, there is no other way.

I'll try and find a way to break it to her soon but for now, I guess I'll just have to keep on staring into space, dreaming of a time where I could be with Ash.

I often stare out to the sea and remember how Ash is so far away. Now I'm in Hoenn, Kanto isn't as far away as it used to be when I was in Kalos but it feels so long away.

I can't wait to hold his hand again and do things with him. Maybe I can meet the new friends he's made too, as long as they aren't jealous that I'll have the best boyfriend ever.

One day I'll see Ash again, I just wish the day could come sooner...
