Misty's POV,
                          
I fell on my bed, exhausted. That guy just disappeared. Is he a ghost or something? Man. I am tired. Oh! I better tell Gary about Paul. I was texting hi, when he called.
                          
Gary:'' Yo! I heard you got attacked today?''
                          
Misty:'' And it seems funny to you right?''
                          
Gary:'' Don't get me wron- OW!''
                          
Hm?
                          
Misty:'' Why? What happened?''
                          
Gary:'' Ah! I hurt my foot, because of the wheel chair. Ah! It hurts.''
                          
Misty:'' Nice.''
                          
Gary:'' NICE? for which angle is this nice??''
                          
Misty:'' From every angle?''
                          
I giggled.
                          
Misty:'' Nevermind. You know?''
                          
Gary:'' You didn't tell, How will I know.''
                          
Misty:'' The letters were sent by Paul.''
                          
Gary:'' PAUL?!!''
                          
Ash:'' Can you keep your voice down??''
                          
I heard Ash's voice through the phone. I really want to talk to him. But there is nothing left except for hatred in him towards me. Gary whispered.
                          
Gary:'' No wonder there is a new rumor.''
                          
Huh? No not a new one!
                          
Misty:'' What is it?''
                          
Gary:'' They say you have Paul around your fingers now.''
                          
Wow. I cannot believe these people. 
                          
Misty:'' I'm frustrated. I am gonna hang up.''
                          
Gary:'' Wait-''
                          
I ended the call. I kept my hand on my forehead and closed my eyes. When will all these rumors end?
                          
NEXT MORNING,
                          
Oh! Where is my practice copy? I kept it in my locker maybe. I picked up my bag and kept my pokeballs. I am not taking any chances anymore. I ran towards my locker and stopped when I spotted Dawn leaning on a wall, she looked up and approached me.
                          
Dawn:'' Hey..''
                          
Her tone doesn't sound well. Is she okay? 
                          
Dawn:'' Its been a while..''
                          
Is she having a cold? She closed her eyes and..
                          
Dawn:'' You like Paul?''
                          
I should have seen this coming.
                          
Misty:'' Don't get me wrong. I am going to say this once, I am not someone the people think of me as!''
                          
I don't want you to be friends with me..because I don't want others to think bad about you. I walked past Dawn towards my locker. Everyone looked towards me in a disgusted way.
                          
Misty:'' Oh man''
                          
I whispered. I opened the door of my class, as soon as I entered those whispers started again. I hate this so much. I saw a purple haired girl sitting on my seat.
                          
Misty:'' Excuse me, thats my seat.''
                          
????:'' Ohh.. Why would you need a seat? You have so many boys, go sit on their laps.''
                          
I clenched my fist. Calm down. 
                          
????:'' By the way, I am Iris!''
                          
Misty:'' I am not interested please move.''
