Betrayal

I felt the need to write this to see how successful or not my latest idea will be. It's my first pure contestshipping fic and I couldn't wait to post it.

Disclaimer: If I owned Pokémon, May and Drew would be an official item already.

Prologue:

Looking into the full length mirror in front of her, May saw a figure that was unrecognizable to her. The reflection showed a seventeen year old girl with a belly that stuck out more than her chest. It was the figure that most teenage girls- including her- feared the most.

She once had a slender body accompanied with an envious twenty-two inch waist but now, putting it bluntly, her waistline had ballooned to twice the size it used to be.

She wasn't exactly sure how it happened but it did.

Eighteen months ago, she still had a body to die for and a perfect, rich, smart and hot boyfriend who adored her figure.

Maybe that was how she lost it all.

And now, eighteen months later, she had no boyfriend, no figure and well, no clothes that fit.

Even her mother- who was once crowned Miss Hoenn- disliked how her daughter had become; she just did not dare to say anything.

But her boyfriend thought differently. He liked it when May was slim and a trendy size eight (A/N: that's an American size 4 I think). He ended it with May as he couldn't tolerate the way she had become. Yes, he is that shallow.

His words still echoed in the back of her head.

"I can't be with you anymore. You're just not the same person that I liked; loved even."

His words shattered her heart into not two pieces, but a million little ones. And at a moment like this, her confidence was non-existent.

Now lying on her bed, curled up in a ball, she felt her vision blur again. She had been crying since her big break up a week ago. She even missed school, which was something she never did before.

But at the thought of school, her tears rolled uncontrollably. people didn't pick on her before because she was skinny and beautiful and because her boyfriend was extremely popular around school. But now that May is single and looking like the way she is, she was dreading the torment that she is positive that she will receive.

The part that she feared most was seeing her ex-boyfriend around school with his arm draped round another skinnier girl's shoulder.

After letting loose another load of tears and crying for another long while, she reached over for the packet of cookies and her phone, which were lying on the bedside table and dialled her absolute best friend's number after she shoved two of the mini chocolate chip cookies into her mouth.

It rung for a while before Dawn finally picked up. By then, May had eaten so much more of the cookies.

"Hi Dawn." May said into the mouthpiece, the sadness evident in her voice.

"Oh, hey May." She heard her friend say, as if she was hiding something from her.

"Dawn, I need your help." May pleaded

Dawn hesitated to answer. "I'm sorry May, I'm not in town at the moment."

May sighed, "Never mind then."

"Is it something important?" Dawn asked. May could hear a lot of rummaging in the background.

"Well, it's just that I wanted to hang out with you to get my mind off certain things." May replied, "But, never mind."

"Sorry, but I have to go." Dawn said quickly, almost suspiciously if you asked May.

"It's fine." May replied, "I'll see you on Monday."

After that short conversation, Dawn hung up.

May wondered what happened to the whole "I'll-help-you-through-it-all" deal that Dawn had promised her. She laid down on her bed and thought for a while.

After a couple of minutes had passed (and all the cookies were gone), May rolled off the side of her bed, making a thud as she landed, and pulled out a set of digital scales.

It was time for change... Starting with another bag of cookies.

I know it's short but it's just a prologue and mine tend to be really short. Looking over that, tell me what you think, 'kay. Aslo, if you think of a better title, please speak up.
