Chapter 1 – From friendship to crush
f-l-a-s-h-b-a-c-k
It was before the day we had shifted to our current house. That's when we first met.
A sapphire eyed brunet got out from the car. An elderly woman came out from the driver's side.
"Is that our new home, mom?" she asked.
"Yes, sweetie. It's nice and cozy right?" an elderly woman replied. "Everything has been arranged inside the house by me and dad so you just have your stuff in your room to arrange. Something wrong honey?"
"Nothing's wrong. I just don't feel like going in right now. That's all. I think I'll take a walk outside."
"Be back in an hour or so for dinner."
"Okay" she started to wander off in another direction. Then something in our garden caught her eye. Her mother went inside. She had seen the roses in the garden. She came forward and leaned on the fence to get a better look at them.
"Hi" I said. She looked up and for the first time I saw her. She was silently crying. She wiped her eyes and said "hi"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Who are you?"
"My name is Drew and I am 10 years old. I live here. And you?"
"My name is May and I'm your new next door neighbor. I'm ten years old too."
"So, May what's wrong?"
"It's… it's… its m-my parents" she said and with that she started sobbing again.
"Why? what's wrong?"
She stopped crying and told me "They recently decided to live separately." Then she told me the whole story. Her father loved to travel and couldn't stay in one place for long. So did her brother. But her mother wanted her dad to get a fixed job so that they could support their family. The fighting had reached the point of divorce.
"I see. You are sad because you're dad and brother aren't here with you."
"You're right"
"Well, don't cry. It makes you look ugly."
"I'm not ugly!"
"I don't have my dad too."
"I'm sorry. What happened?"
"Well he died in a car accident when I was only five."
"Oh sorry. Well that's the second thing we have in common!" May said. She was looking a bit cheered up.
"Now that's good. You should keep smiling you know!"
Back to present time…
"Now that's better. You should keep smiling you know!" Drew said.
"Yes well I should. But so you know, I will still hate our stupid good-for-nothing of a person art teacher!" May replied crossly.
It had been seven years since May and Drew had met. They both were seventeen years old and were in the junior year of high school. This conversation was taking place by their lockers which were coincidently next to each other. May had issues with their art teacher. When I say issues, I mean issues…
"Okay well, see you later. Are you going to go out with Brendan today?" May asked.
"Yeah. So see you later." Drew said.
May gave him one of her big smiles and left. Drew watched her go and turned towards his locker to take out some books. Zoey had watched on the whole exchange and now was going after May.
She finally caught up with her. "Hi, Zoey" May said cheerfully.
"Hi, May. You are awfully happy about something. Didn't you just run out of art class due to the hatred towards your art teacher, fuming just a while ago?"
"Well I did. Drew helped me calm down though. He seems to be much better at that than me."
"Is that so…?"
"Yeah, everytime he is around all my worries seem to just melt away. I am always so comfortable around him, you know? He always knows how to make me smile."
"Sounds like someone's got a crush…"
May stopped dead in her tracks. She looked at Zoey with all the seriousness in the world.
"You don't think…"
"Yes I do, may"
"Do you think its true?"
"I am as sure about it as I am about me liking Brendan."
"Oh my god. Zoey help me. I think I like him" May exclaimed. Luckily by now they had reached May's garden and were well out of anyone's hearing range.
"Told you"
"What do I do now?"
"I have no idea. If I knew I would have done something about Brendan and me."
"True. But oh my god, I like Drew!"
"My bff has a crush. Whoop."
"Let's go inside and have some icecream while we think about it."
"I agree"
Meanwhile with Drew
"So you are completely sure you like Zoey?" Drew asked.
"Yeah I'm gonna propose to her tomorrow during lunch. Any ideas?" Brendan asked.
"Nope. May can help you though. She's her bff."
"Maybe, I'll propose to her tomorrow too." Drew added
"Who is that lucky gal?" Brendan asked.
"You know her!"
"Who?"
"Dawn, of course. Who else?"
Author's notes – Today was the end of my first preboard. Yay! The second one begins on fourth of January. Boo! Anyways… as a token of my happiness, I uploaded a whole new story for everyone! This story was initially supposed to be an expansion of Teardrops on my guitar. So it is a songfic. But the plot is really long so I could justify the word "expansion". Hopefully this will be upto your expectations!
