Me: Hi! This is a new story I'm writing.

Drew: Obviously

May: Leave her be!

Me: Well… whatever. At this point I'm used to his uncalled for comments... its sad. Anyway… I don't own Pokemon… does anyone actually read this?

Chapter 1
Good Girls, Ego Boys and Coffee

I want to tell you a story. No… this isn't going to be 'Once upon a time'. And it's not going to be in some far off land. This is real. A real life fairy tale. It's about loyalty, betrayal and love. It's about May and Drew and how they came to be. It's about May failing Math's. Our tale starts here. In Funbari High School. It starts with May. May's a good girl. She's never been kissed. She's never been drunk. She's never- Well you get the idea. It's Thursday and it's the end of school.

"May. Are you OK?" Misty asked, tentatively.

"Sure. I'm just… thinking," May answered answer cheerfully.

"Careful," said a mocking voice from behind her.

'Today of all days… he had to make me mad,' I think angrily.

"Let it go, Drew," May said angrily.

Drew Joseph Kingly. He's a rich, stuck-up, egotistical, arrogant snob who seems determined to make May's life hell.

"Whatever. So… you got your Math's test back. What did you get? 40?" he asked, gazing mockingly.

"30," May muttered quietly.

"30! My God, you need a tutor," Drew said.

"Oh… shut up!" May said starting to cry.

"Leave her alone!" said a shy voice from over Drew's shoulder.

"Brendan! Hi!" Misty waved.

"Hey," Brendan answered smiling.

Drew shook his head.

'I swear he makes his hair do that flippy thing!' May thought.

"Seriously. You might want to consider the tutor thing…bimbo," Drew said, turning back around.

He walked down the corridor.

"Yeah? Well… you have an attitude problem Jerk!" May yelled after him.

She sighed. She turned to her friends. Misty was giving her a sympathetic look and Brendan was glaring angrily at the disappearing Drew.

"Are you OK?" Misty asked.

"Yeah," May said sadly.

"Grrr! He's such a jerk!!" Misty said angrily.

May laughed. Her friends were taking more offense that she was.

"Yeah… it's a shame his best friend is hot, huh Mist?" May said suggestively.

Misty blushed.

"Not you too! Why does everyone fall for those jerks?" Brendan asked, shaking his head.

"Hey!" Misty said.

"That's not fair Brendan. Ash is… well, nice. He doesn't act like he owns the place. He… just has a jerk-faced best friend," May said.

Misty shot Brendan a look that could kill.

"Guys, it's the end of the day. Let's just go to the Coffee shop and we can just forget about it. 'Kay?" May said.

The other 2 nodded their head.

20 minutes later, they arrived at Crown Coffee shop. It was a cozy place, with plushy sofas, booths for privacy, stools… basically the ultimate hangout spot. The 3 of the entered at sat at the stools. Ash came out from the kitchen, cleaning a cup.

"Hey guys. Hi Misty. What can I get you?" Ash asked.

"A Cappuccino please," Misty said, smiling.

"A Black Coffee," Brendan said.

"What about you May?" Ash asked.

"Coca Mocha, double," May sighed.

"Double? Yikes! What did he do today?" Ash asked sympathetically.

"The usual," May said.

"I'll talk to him if he want," Ash offered.

"Nah. I'll be fine after my drink," May said, depressed.

"OK. Coming right up," Ash said.

May waited until Ash retreated back into the kitchen.

"Ask him out Misty!" May said.

"No… I'm going to wait a bit," Misty said.

"Why? He's so right for you. And he's cute! I mean, look at-" May began.

"Wah! Girl talk!!" Brendan said covering his ears.

"OK. We'll sop. Drama Queen," Misty said, muttering the last bit under her breath.

Ash returned, carrying 3 cups. He set them down. Misty paid him. Then Brendan paid. May reached into her pocket to bring out her money.

"Forget it May. Someone already paid for you," Ash said.

Brendan shot Ash a dirty look.

"I didn't do it!" Ash said, scared.

"Well… who did?" May asked.

"They said they would prefer to remain anonymous. And that means they don't want to be known… right?" Ash asked Misty.

"Uh-huh!" Misty laughed.

"Well… thank them for me please," May said, drinking her Mocha.

"Will do!" Ash said saluting.

Misty giggled. Ash blushed. It was a routine by now. Brendan shook his head and drank.

"So… how bad are you failing?" Ash asked.

"I got 30 on my test," May said solemnly.

"That's not bad," Ash said.

"30 out of 200," May said.

"Ah. Well… maybe you could ask Miss Green to arrange a tutor," Ash suggested.

"Yeah! I'm going to go home and ask my Dad now! Bye!" May said running out the shop.

"I'd better go with her," Brendan said running after her.

Misty looked at Ash.

"Go," Ash said, smiling.

"Bye Ash! See you tomorrow!" Misty called, running after May.

"I'd better," Ash chuckled.

Misty waved and ran. Ash sighed.

"You got far today," said an emerald hair boy from the booth.

"Leave off Drew," Ash said angrily.

"I'm just saying," Drew said.

"What about you? Why did you want to be anonymous?" Ash asked confused.

"You guilt tripped me. I wouldn't have otherwise. And besides… be honest, would she have drunk it if she knew it was off me? I mean… I suggest a tutor and she blatantly ignores me. You suggest it, and she runs home to get permission," Drew pointed out.

"Well… if you weren't such a jerk to her she would have considered it. And you made her sound her stupid! She's really upset," Ash said.

"Well, that's what she gets for being stupid," Drew said simply, drinking the remaining dregs of his coffee.

"Drew… that's the point. She's not stupid. This is the only lesson she's failing. Cut her some slack," Ash said.

"Shouldn't you be working?" Drew asked.

"Oops! This isn't over. You just wait until I finish my shift," Ash said returning to the counter.

"Sorry. I can't. I have some studying to do," Drew said.

"You're only 16. You can't be a Doctor, just yet," Ash said.

"Still… it doesn't hurt to be prepared."
And with that Drew left the coffee shop, and back to his apartment to curl up with a good book.

Me: Well?

May: Wow! Drew, do you really want to be a Doctor?

Drew: Umm…yeah?

May: That's so cool! Doctors are great!

Me: O…K? Anyway… please review. Oh! And Ash is a bit more mature now… and he likes girls.

May: He liked guys?!!!

Drew: (shrugs)

Me: I didn't mean like that! Man, Misty's gonna kill me for suggesting that! OK! Bye!!
