Pearlshipping Story

Chapter One- Playing Hard To Get

"Uh, sorry," Ash apologized with grace at the girl he just knocked down by running into her. She was slim, petite, and had dazzling blue hair that matched her curious eyes. She was surrounded by her school books and looking up at the boy with the shaggy coal hair and courageous eyes.

"It's no problem," She replied, gathering her books and looked back down without looking back at him. She never really paid any attention to boys in the tiny middle school she attended because she was too busy hanging out with her best friends: May and Lyra. They had been friends ever since they were put in the same science class and talked with eachother ever since.

Dawn had finally gathered her books and notebooks and struggled to get up. She shrugged and merely walked past the shaggy haired boy with a humph. Ash kept his eyes on her as he turned to watch her. The corners of his lips curled and he smirked. "Playing hard to get, I see..." He smiled, shrugged, and turned on his heel to walk to his next 8th grade class.

"Geez, it's always so humid in October," May griped, peeling off her blood red hoodie. Lyra tugged on the straps of her backpack and sighed. "I guess, but it'll be worse in spring, won't it?," She offered. May shrugged, and changed the subject cheerfully. "Hey, guys, Lemme tell you something." Dawn adjusted her hair pins and looked to May. "What is it?" May giggled and sighed. "My parents said I could throw a mini-party. Boys included." The last two words swirled around Dawn's head. Boys? At a party? But what about those teen shows where the girl gets pregnant at a party? May? Are you crazy? "But..." Dawn started but May cut in. "Aw, c'mon Dawn, we were supposed to be ready for boys at this age. That's why my parents are telling me I can do this. I mean, we are eighth graders Dawn!" Dawn slowly grinned and playfully punched May's shoulder. "You're right, May. Crazy. But right." May returned the smile and the puch and Lyra spoke up. "When is the party?" Her voice was smooth and comforting. May whipped out her phone and tapped the calendar icon. "Ah...Friday. Friday's always the best day to throw a party." And with that, the three teenaged girls giggled and headed straight to May's house to excitedly plan for the party in the upcoming four days.

"Hello?" Drew greeted. He ran his fingers through his green hair and looked at his phone again."Hello?" He started again.

"Oh hey, Sorry Drew. I'm real tired, you see."

"Oh. That's okay. What d'you need?"
"Well May just asked me to come to her party on Friday. And she made it super clear to ask you to come." Ash's voice sounded mockingly because it was no secret to him that Drew had a huge crush on May.

"She asked me to come?" Drew jumped out of his chair, clearly happy. He had liked May ever since they first talked in the beginning of the year. Her brown beautiful hair, her wide eyes...

"Drew? Are you there?" Ash asked into the phone. Drew sat back down. "Yeah. Sorry. So when is the party again?" He asked, reached for his notebook and a pencil. Ash answered back. "Friday, 6 p.m.."
"Okay. Thanks. Bye."
"Bye." Click! Drew stared at the note he wrote. "Friday at 6:00..."

"Hey Ash!" Misty said almost flirtasiously. She twirled her short red hair and walked toward the handsome boy. He turned around and smiled. "Hey Misty." Misty grinned and began the conversation.

"So did you hear about May's little party on Friday? I got an e-mail saying I was invited."
"Oh yeah, I was too."Misty changed her tone. She became serious in a seductive way."Uh, Ash." She whispered.

Ash raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"I was thinking we could go to the party...together, like a couple..." She smiled slightly. Ash blushed and his eyes widened. Go out with his best friend? "Uh, well look Misty-" He was cut off by the 5th period bell. "Look, I gotta go, I'll catch you later." He walked off with his books and Misty frowned. He's just playing hard to get. I mean, we've been friends for all this time. How could he not have feelings for me like I do for him?
