Hello! This is my first fanfic/Songfic I've ever done and what better song to use than Teardrops on my Guitar by Taylor Swift? I went for the very unoriginal Contestshipping, sue me! Ash, May, Brock, Solidad, Harley, Drew, Dawn, Misty (and her mallet!), Paul, Kenny and Barry are at a prestigious Pokémon boarding school. I suck at summaries. Italics are the song lyrics! Written in May's POV! Without further ado, on with the Songfic!
It was the day of the school talent show. I was entering and I was going to sing. I'd made up a song just for the talent show and I was proud of it. It had taken well over a month to write. Dawn ran into me and said, "Hey May! I forgot the talent show was today until I saw the posters hanging up outside!" "Sorry Dawn, gotta run, otherwise I'll be late!" I replied. "Good luck!" Dawn shouted to me as I sprinted down the corridor.
I was lucky not to get caught by any teachers. In less than ten minutes I had made it to the music rooms where, along with me, the other contestants were waiting. "Hello May! I forgot you were entering!" Drew called from the other side of the room, "Judging by the guitar, you're singing! " "No duh, Captain Obvious!" I teased.
Drew pulled a tongue at me and I giggled like a seven year old.
"What's got you all giggly today, May? Do you LIKE someone?" Harley butted in.
"None of your business," I replied.
"Yeah, she's right Harley. Go get ready for the show, you're on next," Drew said.
"Aw, THANKS Drew!" Harley chuckled as he left for the stage.
"Do YOU like someone, Drew?" I asked, taking great pleasure in teasing him.
Drew blushed and said, "Yeah, I do. She's funny and smart and cute too. I've told now, what about you?"
I didn't realise how much I really liked Drew until now, but he didn't realise how much it hurt me to hear him say such things. On the inside I was wailing but I didn't let it show on the outside.
"Well, he's a bit brain dead and arrogant at times, but at the end of the day, he's really sweet," I replied.
I felt tears coming to my eyes, but was relieved when the speakers blared out,
"And next up is May Maple!"
"Good luck!" Drew shouted!
I sat down on the stool that was on the middle of the stage. I couldn't see anyone, because the lights were shining too brightly in my eyes.
I was about to start playing the song I'd written, but instead my hands began to play a familiar tune. One that I had written years ago but never had any lyrics I wanted to sing so badly but I didn't know what to sing. I thought about the conversation Drew and I just had and the lyrics wrote themselves.
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I thought about how beautiful this girl sounded.
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about.
I thought about how she probably had every quality I had, and more.
And she's got everything that I have to live without
I thought about the way Drew talks to me sometimes, the jokes he tells.
Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's so damn funny
I thought about how it was like no-one else was in the room when I was with Drew.
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
I thought about the passion in Drew's voice when he talked about her.
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
I thought about how tense I was when I was around Drew
Drew walks by me
Can't he tell that I can't breathe?
I thought about how perfect he was, even after he said goodbye.
And there he goes so perfectly, the kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
I thought about how Drew's eyes were always so dazzling.
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause
Tears started to run down my face. I heard gasps of my friends, thinking I was going to stop. This made me sing even louder.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
I paused to have a long guitar solo and thought about how I would get back into my dormitory and look at the picture I had of Drew from when we were younger.
So I'll drive home alone
As I turn out the light, I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight
'Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
My tears were come fiercer and faster but I simply carried on singing
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time ticking up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
My face, clothes and guitar were all soaked with my tears. I heard the applause and now I knew that I didn't really care whether I won or lost, but I was pleased with myself. I couldn't take it anymore and ran off the stage, right into Drew. I tripped over my own feet. Drew helped me up and gave me a bear hug. I tried to break free, but Drew just tightened his grip.
"Did you seriously think I was talking about someone other than you, May?" Drew said.
I thought he was joking until I saw how serious his face was. His face came close to mine,
"Who would I have been talking about?"
"Solidad," I whispered.
"Her? Oh really, May? Solidad's a good friend but she's not my type, "It's you who I want to be with,"
This made me start crying again.
"Oh, come on! Am I that bad?" Drew asked.
I couldn't speak but I replied with a hug.
