Hearing a commotion outside of her bedroom window, May Maple turned to see a figure in the nearby house shouting into the phone. Drew she thinks. For the past six months, he had been dating the most popular (and snobby, in May's opinion) girl at Petalburg High, Karen, and for the past six months May had been in love with Drew.
Finally putting the phone down after the last shout, Drew turned around to see May looking out of her window. Smiling, he sat down on his bed watching May pull out her sketchpad.
You okay? She wrote.
Tired of drama, he scrawled back.
Sorry. May held up the pad with an apologetic face. Drew shrugged. Heart thudding, May flipped the page and wrote three more words. Looking up she saw that Drew's curtains had been drawn.
I Love You, read her sketchpad.
The next morning, a figure barreled towards May Maple as she got off the bus.
"MAY!! HAVE YOU HEARD?!?! THE SPRING DANCE IS COMING UP!" shouted a particularly loud blue-haired girl named Dawn. Misty followed behind shaking her orange head.
"Dawn, not everyone's a morning person like you. Keep it down or the all the Tauros in this region are going to stampede."
Catching her breath, Dawn looked up with shining eyes.
"May, we HAVE to go shopping this Saturday!" she said, bouncing up and down, not even waiting for May to answer before turning to Misty. "And you are going to get a dress that will knock Ash breathless"
"Dawn, Dawn, calm down! I'll go shopping, okay? Now stop before squeeze all the blood out of Misty's hands!" May said laughing. Dawn looked down to see her own hands grasping Misty's, whose hands were definitely turning blue.
"Oops" was all she could say.
Misty heaved a great sigh of relief as Dawn let go, but then she turned to May with question on her face.
"Does that mean you have a date, May?" May's face instantly turned sad as she turned away.
Both Dawn and Misty understood by her face alone that she was still pining for Drew.
"I'm not going to the Spring Dance, but I'll definitely help you pick out dresses. You guys will look great after I'm done helping you!" May said, smiling brightly. Inside, she felt great disappointment. Both of her friends had a date, but she was stuck crushing on the boy who had the most popular girl on his arm.
"Bye, May! See you on Saturday!" May smiled as both her friends waved goodbye. Walking home from the café she and her friends were hanging out at, May sat down on a park bench and opened her math textbook, getting in some study time for her next math competition. Suddenly, someone plopped down beside her.
"Hey, May." a male voice said. May's cheeks started to turn pink as she glanced at the person beside her. Flipping his green hair, Drew slouched back on the bench.
"Hi-" she started to say, when suddenly Drew leaned over and pushed her hair behind her ear.
"It was making it hard for me to see your face" Drew said, smiling genuinely for the first time in a few days.
Her cheeks turning red a shade brighter, May glanced down muttering "thanks". Drew started to say something before a red convertible pulled up. Karen. She was smirking nastily at May, as if suggesting that her mere presence clogged the air.
"Come on, Drewy, you promised you would let me help you pick out a tux for the Spring Dance" She said, sticking her bottom lip out. As Drew got into the car, she pulled him towards her and kissed him, before sneering victoriously at May. Once again, May put her head down without saying a word as Karen drove away with Drew looking apologetically at May.
