May: Wait! (running towards me then abruptly stopped)

CHAPTER ONE: MEETING
Italic words means May is in a deep dream
2012…
9 years ago…
The first time I saw him… That was July 10.
He is handsome, actually. Green hair, same height as mine, purple jacket, black inner shirt, there's so much more to describe him.
What I don't want is his attitude… He's a "show-off"! That's what he is!
But I just have this feeling that I couldn't understand…
I think I kinda like him… (wait, what?)
I'm so confused right now. Even before, since I was 10 years old, there is this feeling that's been lingering me. I wish he felt the same thing, too.
9 years ago… It's such a long time…
Contest here, Contest there…
There are times that you could lose literally and sometimes you walked off the stage and tell it to the world that "Look! I won the contest!" There are friends out there who congratulated me and keep on supporting me. I thanked them for that effort you've showed me.
But there is just one person who helped me to be strong, tough, and win against all odds. I thank him for that.
I thank him for everything.
These four-letter word is special to me, should be treasured for many years to come.
And now…
…9 years later.
I'm retired from being a Pokemon coordinator and I go back to the way I was. A simple girl living in a small town called home.
I still kept my memories that I've cherished for the past years of my experience as a Pokemon coordinator.
But I forgot the one person who taught me everything I done for him.
I miss him and I'm desperately wanted to see him again.
You know what, I guess I should say it straight to his face…
I…
…love…
…you…
…DREW!
"Ms. Maple!" I woke up suddenly.
"Yes? What? What is it?" I reacted. The students behind me laughed and laughed. Then, I realized that someone is looking at me. I looked up to that person and it was the teacher who first stared at me when I was asleep. She's really strict and fierce.
"Were you listening to what I said earlier?" the teacher asked.
"Ummmm…." I said to her then paused for a bit.
Finally, the teacher gave a huge sigh then said to me: "Ms. Maple, next time if you're sleeping during my class, it's better to go outside and sleep."
"Yes, miss." I agreed then I faced down. I was just in front of her desk, eager to listen to her lessons in History class.
The teacher resumed discussing the lesson when suddenly the bell rang. The teacher then gave an assignment: "Alright class, do Activity 4 on page 195-197 and answer it on a piece of paper. Submission is on Monday so please pass it before the said day."
Then the students dose off and went to other class as well. For me, this is my last class for the day according to my schedule. I'm so glad that I could go home. I looked to my watch and it is 4pm.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is May Maple. I'm 19, turning 20 next year and now a graduating college student at Arceus University. As a graduating student, you have to submit your requirements on time before the said time. For me, I just finished almost all of my requirements. I can't wait for the graduation to start. It's just a few weeks away and I can't wait to get a diploma, find a job and start working.
After I went outside the room, someone is waiting for me.
"Hey May!" the blue-haired girl waved at me.
"Oh, Dawn, hi." Then we exchanged hugs. Dawn is really a good friend of mine and she's a tough girl too. Oh, and did I mention that she is the captain of the cheerleading squad. She is also a graduating college student like me. Her grades were sky high that she is now a candidate for graduation. Not fair for me though. But it's ok.
"I see your History class is done." Dawn said.
"Yup. Isn't it obvious?" I said.
"Yeah. And you're like sleeping in front of the teacher. Nice job there, girl." Dawn chuckled then gave a pat on my back.
Then I was shocked. "W-wait! You saw that?"
"Yup. Our Science class just finished and I hope to see you back there but then I found out that you're sleeping." She said then sneered. "I can't wait to blackmail you!" Then she showed me a picture in her smartphone sleeping.
"Why you little?" I was about to strangle her when suddenly someone showed up.
"What's going on here?" A boy with a cap on his hand appeared.
"Hey, Ash." Dawn said. Ash Ketchum is a handsome guy. Nice and cute. He's a football player in our school and earned a scholarship for being a varsity player. And he has a girlfriend named Misty. She is also my classmate in Latin language class.
"May right here just finished her History class and look what I found." She's about to show her picture a while ago but then I held her hand tight so that Ash wouldn't see that embarrassing picture of me.
"Don't you dare see that to Ash!" I exclaimed.
"You girls are weird." Ash said. "Anyway, so are you two going home?"
We exchanged faces then I said to him: "Uh, yeah? We're just finished our classes today."
"Good, then." Ash said. "Let's go home. I want to hang out with you, girls."
"W-wait a minute," Dawn said. "What about Misty?"
"Oh, Misty said she's going home by herself later this afternoon. She still has a lot more work to do in the newspaper department."
"Oh, yeah right? She's the editor." Dawn said.
Ash nodded: "Precisely."
"And you?" I asked.
"Oh? Me? We finished training." He replied. Then the three of us stopped for a bit.
"So, what are we waiting for?" Dawn asked. "Let's go."
Ash and I nodded. "We're going to May's car!" Dawn said.
"Who? Me?" I asked.
"Last one standing gets to look May's embarrassing photo!" Then Dawn ran towards the school's parking lot.
"Dawn Berlitz!" I shouted back to her and ran towards her leaving Ash behind. "Don't you dare!"
"Hmph." Ash said. "Girls?" Then Ash walked instead.
We head to the parking lot and went to my car, good thing I was at second place. The parking lot is filled with cars. Some of the students own these cars. Students are hanging out there just for fun.
My car is stylish. Pink is my favorite color and it is small just like a size of a Mini Cooper. They all went inside the car and Ash asked: "So where are we headed to?"
"To May's house!" Dawn exclaimed.
"Great!" I said. "Let's go." I got the keys to start the engine then we head off to my house. I hope my mom and dad is there.
