Hey guys! I'm back with another chapter for you guys, and there's not really much to say, other than I'm kinda scared for high school. If ya'll have some advice for me then I'd really appreciate it :) Let's get on with the chapter now!

~~~~~

Ash P.O.V 

I can't believe it, I actually hurt her. I obviously didn't want or mean to do it, but I can't help but feel like its all my fault. I should've done more about the situation, should've stopped Miette sooner. But I couldn't.

Flashback

"Ash can you come with me please?" Miette asked , and I could see Serena's face get red, but quickly got back to its normal color. Before I could answer, I felt Miette's hand grab mine and she dragged me to a different part of the beach. 

Once we arrive, she still hadn't let go of my hand, which started to annoy me. "So what are you doing here? Actually how did you know I was here?" I asked, still wanting to know why she was here and how she knew me and Sere were in the ocean. 

"Isn't it obvious?" she said, and at the same time leaning closer to me. I started to feel uncomfortable, but before I could move back, she grabbed my shoulders and whispered in my ear "I came back for you, because......I want you"  and with those words, she pushed our bodies together and I felt a pair of lips on mine. 

I immediately tried to get her off me, but I unfortunately hadn't noticed my feet were stuck to the ground by leech seed. She must've caught a grass type pokemon that knows leech seed. I struggled to free my feet and eventually did it, but unfortunately in that moment, I heard a gasp. I moved away from Miette and gasped, and saw a heartbroken Sere. 

"A-Ash?"  she said, she sounded so hurt. I quickly realized it was because she saw that kiss, "Shit"  I said. She turned around and started running. "SERE WAIT!!" I yelled and started to run, but I felt someone's hand grab my arm. "Ashy don't go, stay here with me" Miette said as I turned around to face her. 

I pulled my arm back and said, "No. I'm sorry Miette but I don't like you in that way, so please leave me alone". And with those words I left and ran after Sere. She was almost on the sidewalk when I caught up to her, I grabbed her wrist, "Sere please wait, I can explain" I pleaded, but as expected, "Ash please let me go. I don't want to hear it, I'm way to confused to process anything right now" she said. 

I let go of her because I didn't want to hurt her more than I'd already had. "Sere..." I said, but Serena quickly responded, " Please don't call me that". "I'm sorry" I responded, but instead, Serena just ran away. 

End of Flashback

After what happened, I called Mallow because I really needed her advice, so she dropped off Serena's pokemon and came over to my house. As soon as she came, she had tons of questions with a huge smile on her face, but that quickly went away as soon as I told her about the incident. 

"WHERE IS THAT BITCH?!? I WANNA GO BEAT HER UP!!" Mallow yelled. She quickly got up and started heading towards the door, but I stopped her before she could go any further. 

"Calm down Mallow, I'm very upset with what she did but there's really nothing we can do other than to get Serena to forgive me" I said with a frown on my face. I was really feeling down, never had I ever lost a friend like that, and I feel horrible for hurting her the way I did. 

"So how are you going to get her to forgive you?" asked Mallow. 

"I don't know, but what I do know is that I won't give up on her" I replied. "I think I'll try to explain what happened tomorrow at school, maybe then she'll forgive me" I said after a while of thinking. 

"Uhh I don't think she's going to school tomorrow" Mallow said in an worried tone. 

"Why?" I asked. 

"She texted me earlier saying that she decided that she was going to do what she came here for so she dropped out of the school and is going to teach some classes about performances. She's going to travel all 4 islands and teach a lot of classes" Mallow replied. "She's going to have 3 classes in each island so you have enough chances to see her and apologize!". 

"Well at least that's something positive about this whole situation" I say, still kind of upset. But she was right, I had to apologize and explain everything to her as soon as possible. Even if I had to follow her through all of Alola, I'll won't stop until I apologize. 

~~(The Next Day) ~~~

I got to school pretty early this morning because Kukui wanted to talk to me, which I'm guessing is about why I skipped school yesterday. I still don't regret skipping, even if the date ended badly, I still enjoyed the time I had with Serena. I walk into the classroom, mentally preparing myself for the lecture. I open the door, and see Kukui there waiting for me, arms crossed with a mad look on his face. 

"Please sit down Ash" he says in a cold tone. Not wanting to make him any madder, I immediately sit down is the closest seat. "Tell me, why weren't you and Serena in class after lunch time?" he asked. 

"We uh, went somewhere" I answered, trying to avoid giving detail. 

"Where?" he asked. 

"On a date, at the beach" I said, deciding that trying to hide details wasn't going to work. "I'm sorry we skipped school, but I didn't want you to punish Serena, even though she doesn't go to school anymore".

"Well that's fine Ash but please, don't do it again" he said, in a much calmer tone than before. 

"I actually wanted to tell you something Professor" I said, being ready to see his reaction. 

"Yes Ash?" he asked. 

"I won't be attending the school anymore" I stated.

Hi guys, hope you enjoyed the chapter, sorry that my updates are like once every one or two months but school has been a real pain. I don't know if you guys realized this but when I write the intro and the end, they're usually written on different days, cause I can't write a whole chapter on the same day :/ I'm not sure when the next chapter will be out but hopefully before the end of November. Hope you all have amazing days!
