Chapter 1
May
My insides turned inside out. It was only a few minutes until the finals. And it really didn't help that I'm facing Drew in the last round. Shakily I pressed onward in the, what seemed endless, hallway.
"Good luck May!" I was so startled I nearly jumped out of my skin as I wheeled around to see the two people I wanted, and needed, to see most. Jane and Max were standing against the wall behind me.
"Max!" I said as I hugged my 8-year-old little brother. "Jane! I haven't seen you in forever!" I said as I hugged my 16-year-old older sister. Jane has a pretty strange history so I haven't really told many people about her.
"You both made it!"
"I couldn't miss your third Grand Festival in a row now could I?" Jane said smiling.
"I've missed you both so much!" I said nearly forgetting why I was so nervous.
"Me too. Now I can watch my little sis in person. Just sitting there on a couch in front of the TV is really nerve racking," Jane said. "Oh yah, and Max also said you had something to tell me," Jane inquired.
"What? I do?"
"Duh. Jane should know about your boyfriend May!" Max said probably a bit too loud.
I was about to yell at him when Jane cut in, "Boyfriend? What?" Jane said now clearly interested.
One of the funny, yet very annoying things about Jane is that she likes to know everything that's going on around her, especially socially. And she likes to know everything even more when that person won't tell, and with her Lucario that's not that hard.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She pressed.
"Maybe it's because I don't have one! Max," I said glaring at my little brother.
"Have what?" A familiar voice asked.
I jumped and whipped around.
"Oh, it's just Drew," I sighed just a little too loud.
"Really?" Jane asked.
"What! NO!" I said but out of the corner of my eye I saw Max elbow Jane most likely to reassure her guess.
"Drew is my opponent in the finals," I said clenching my teeth.
"Maybe I should test him out first." Jane said coolly.
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"If you want a battle then fine," Drew said commenting back with the same relaxed tone as Jane, swiping his hand over his adorable outfit. I know I should have gotten use to Drew in his new contest outfit. Already he was that perfect and gorgeous Drew in a deep purple tux. Suddenly I started getting nervous again.
"What! Now? There is only 5 minutes until the finals!" I said, panicking.
"That's all the time I'll need," Jane said coolly.
