Hello people! This is the updated version of my first story ever :) I corrected some spelling/grammar/construction errors, but the text is still quite crappy… But don't worry, it'll get better when you reach the fourth chapter :)
A lot of our heroes are now in the same school, named Pokébroec. Except for Max, everyone is around the age 13/14 in this story. Read and enjoy! :D
Disclaimer: I don't own pokémon. (I would be awesome if I did.)
POV May
I arrived at my school, Pokébroec, with my little brother Max. When I looked around I saw that Dawn and Barry were there already. Dawn is my best friend. She has long blue hair and sapphire eyes, just like mines. Barry is also one of my best friends. He has blonde hair with orange eyes and is very tall. The two of them live in the same town and they have been friends since their childhood. Barry was like a big brother for Dawn and vice versa.
"Hey May! We are going to get a new guy in our class today!" Dawn said enthusiastically.
"A new guy? At the end of the year?" I asked dumbfounded.
"Yeah, strange, isn't it?" Dawn said.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Mrs. Johnson told me this morning", Dawn responded.
"Well, I'm curious how he will be."
"Me too", Dawn said.
Let's hope it's a nice guy.
~In the classroom~
We were all sitting on our chairs and we were waiting for Mrs. Johnson. Our class isn't very big because we're only with 9 people, soon 10 with that new guy. The new guy probably has to sit next to Gary. Gary has brown hair and brown eyes. He's a childhood friend of Ash. He is also one of the most popular guys on school, he is funny, but sometimes he can be very 'jerkish'. You know: arrogant and such. Oh, and if you're wondering who Ash is: he is also one of my friends and the best friend of Dawn too. He has black and messy hair with brown eyes.
"Good morning everyone", Mrs. Johnson said when she entered. "I have good news: we've got a new student in the class. I hope you will all be nice to him. You can come in, Drew", she said. A guy with green hair and shimmering emerald eyes entered the class.
"Hi, I'm Drew", he shortly said.
Well, he was sure pretty looking.
"You can sit down next to Gary", Mrs. Johnson said to Drew.
Gary, not the friendliest person on earth, commented Drew: "Green hair, huh?'
Hey, that was mean! Drew's hair is nice! That Gary is just jealous.
It looked like Drew had everything under control," So you're the guy that always needs the attention of the whole class?" Drew smirked."And now I'm stealing your attention?"
The whole class laughed, Drew was totally right. Gary shut his mouth as the whole class was impressed about Drew.
He 's pretty amazing so far…
"What do you think of Drew?" Dawn asked me after class.
"Well, I..."
What could I say? I couldn't stop staring at him. Why was I doing that? It is just a normal new guy. Nothing more. Really, nothing more. Right?
"Um… May? Dawn asked her friend who was clearly lost in thoughts.
"Oh! I'm sorry", I said quickly.
"It's clear what you think", Dawn laughed.
"What's your name?" someone asked me and when I looked up I saw it was Drew.
"I'm May", I said nervously.
"Nice to meet you May", he softly smiled.
"How do you like the school?' I asked.
"Sure, I've meet very nice persons already", he winked. My cheeks began to blush.
"Oh, well, eh...that's good!" I said trying to hide my blush.
Why was I blushing like that? May, stop it! You can't show Drew you're blushing! And again, why am I blushing anyway? You can't like guys like Drew. They're all the same. You know it.
"Bye Drew", I smiled at him and quickly ran back to Dawn.
The break was finished and we had Technical Education. No one liked the teacher, Mrs. Parker, she always thought of stupid projects to do during lesson.
"Well class, today we are going outside for searching a good place for our container", she started.
Yeah… Making a container in the woods is the current project..
"I have five separate areas, so you will work in teams of two. First you have to measure your area and then you have to sketch it on a paper. Afterwards we'll decide what area is the best one to put the container. You can form the groups by yourself while we go outside.", she said grinning. Everyone got up to find themselves a partner.
"I bet you're with Ash", I said to Dawn.
"Excellent May", she responded smiling. They were best friends so it was kinda obvious they'd choose each other. My only chance was Barry. I needed to be quick before someone else asked him.
"Barry would you like to pair up with me?" I asked.
I saw on his face that it would be a yes, but before he even could open his mouth Drew interrupted: "Barry, do you mind if I'm going with May?"
My mouth fell open,
What? Did I hear that right? Drew wants to pair up with me? Barry was also a little bit surprised, but I saw him smiling.
"No, I don't mind at all." Barry winked at me.
"Ehm, okay", I said smiling, but still a bit in shock. Then I quickly returned to Dawn.
"Have you got Barry?" she asked.
"No, I've got Drew, he asked me", I responded.
"Are you serious?" Dawn said in disbelief.
"Yeah!"
"Wow May you're lucky! It looks like he likes you", Dawn winked.
POV Dawn
We were in a big forest. I walked with Ash, May and Mrs. Parker to the area we had to measure.
"Ash, are you going with Dawn?" Mrs. Parker asked.
"Yeah", Ash nodded.
"Come 'on Ash", I said gripping his hand.
The next hour Ash and I measured the whole area - a little lawn with some small and one big rock in the middle. We had lots of fun and the measurement was not without mishaps, but at the end everything was measured very well.
"Well, now we have to sketch it, right?" Ash asked me.
"Yeah", I said while taking a paper and a pencil. I sat on the big rock and I made place for Ash.
"Can you sketch well?" I asked him.
"Not at all, you?"
"Not really, but I will try", I said grapping the pencil.
First I sketched the outline. Ash was looking over my shoulders. Now there was the difficult part: situating the rock on the right place –without a lath.
"Is it here?" I asked Ash.
"No, a little bit to the left", he said. I moved my pencil to the left.
"That's too much. Go back to the right." And I did what he said.
"Yeah, and now a little bit higher, no lower, good, and now a little bit right, no, no, too much, left, oh, no, I mean right! Wait, no, it was left, well, not anymore-", he said while I was trying to find the right place, but I started to giggle and also Ash started laughing. Then he grabbed the pencil -or better: my hand- and sketched the rock on the right place.
I wasn't really concentrating on our paper, I was concentrating on Ash's hand that was holding mine. I blushed a little and suddenly a hand grabbed my shoulder from the back. I screamed in surprise and I dropped the pencil. Drew was standing right behind me.
"Drew! You scared me!" I screamed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to disturb your little romantic moment", Drew said with a grin, watching my hand who was still lying in Ash's. I quickly removed it.
"I came here to ask you if you have a second pencil", he said.
"Yes, I have a second pencil. It's there, in my bag", I said indicating were my bag was.
"Thanks. I will leave the lovebirds alone now," he grinned as he walked away.
I felt my cheeks heating up. Was I actually blushing?
Dawns POV
"Hi May, how was it with Drew?" I asked curiously.
"It was awesome", May said smiling.
"He is sweet, friendly, caring and really funny", she continued, almost dreaming.
"Somebody's in love", Dawn teased.
"No! He does tease me a lot, though…", May added.
"Wow, so maybe he loves you", I said smiling.
"Why? I don't think so.", May said with a sad tone in her voice.
"What, are you kidding?" I said in disbelief.
"He likes you, isn't that oblivious? If guys mess with girls, they are in love with them", I said. "He likes you, May."
A big smile appeared on her face. She tried to hide it for me, but it was hopeless.
"So now about you, what you and Ash were doing when Drew asked you a pencil?" asked May very curiously.
"N-nothing, our pencil was fallen on the ground.
"Well, I heard something else." May winked.
"What did Drew say?" I asked.
"You were holding hands, huh?" May asked.
"So, what happened when Drew left? You guys kiss?" she continued.
"What? Not at all!" I exclaimed.
What was she thinking?
"Sorry Dawn, I was only joking. But what happened? Tell me!"
"I had some problems with sketching, so Ash grabbed the pencil -and my hand which was on the pencil- and then Drew came and I had almost a heart attack so I dropped the pencil", I explained.
"That's why Drew taught we were holding hands." I concluded.
"But, it's still cute", May said, dreaming away.
"What? May!" I exclaimed.
I haven't updated the second and third yet, just so you know! The fourth should be fine. :)
Tell me what you think :) I also really appreciate helpful criticism, so I can improve!
