May waited impatiently for Sunday to come and when she saw that I had become 2 50 ran out of her dorm and began waiting anxiously for Drew and most likely the rest of his group;
'Where is he?' she thought to herself as she anxiously gripped her bag. 'He has something planned, I know he does' she finished bitterly
It wasn't until 3:15 did May see a sign of Grass head. "Maple!" he called as he ran over to her followed by the others.
"Great can I have it now?" May asked anxiously. As if she needed to be somewhere. "What's the rush May?" Drew asked with a smirk
"I have stuff I need to do" May said annoyed.
"Giving me attitude now Maple?" Drew asked condescendingly. "N-no I just need to be somewhere." May tried to explain as Drew reached into his pocket. Out came a folded version of May's picture
As she went to grab it Drew backed up and began blabbering with a fake smile as he pulled out a small white box.
"You know this photo is shot really well, you get the glare off of this kids glasses really well and the women is so pretty and the man looks so strong and willful it would be a shame if something were to happen to it…"
As he went through his rant he had been opening the box, taking out a match, striking a match, and holding it under the picture until it caught aflame.
It was that second that the little spark in May's eyes, which was always there no matter how scared, annoyed, angry, or upset she was, left as she started shaking and looked down.
Drew smirked at her and the group behind him looked angry, at Drew, and sad, for May. "Opps" Drew said innocently as the picture was dropped to the ground and he poured his water bottle on it putting out the flame only to leave ashes.
"Why?" May asked shakily as she stared at the ground. Drew was surprised; May had never said anything after his attacks.
"Why what?" he asked confused and slightly amused. The group looked unsettled as May spoke. "What's your issue with me? Ever since I came here for college you have done nothing but, torment me, why?"
Drew looked thoughtful for a moment and a small blush cam on his face as he disregarded the reason, "What does it matter, I don't know why you care about that pic-"May cut him off as she spoke
"That was my last picture I have here in La Rousse of my full family together." She said hesitantly as she kept her head down.
"What is little May homesick?" Drew asked tauntingly. The group looked between each other uncertainly. They knew the reason.
May didn't hesitate to say why. "I'm not homesick, my family is dead" and at this she turned around and walked away leaving a shocked Drew in her presence
With May
She began walking away her head down trying to hide the tears in her eyes and trying to silence the sobs wracking her body
'He has no right to do that, I'm so done.' She thought to herself angrily
'I'm not taking it anymore' she finished her thoughts as she entered her dorm trying to keep from crying.
The next day, Monday lunch
Like every day during her lunch period she would sit by herself in the corner of the room with her lunch, a book, her camera, and her I pod and headphones.
As she sat alone she felt something in her cause her to whip out her camera and shot to the left of her. When she looked at the picture she saw the image of a boy falling over as he was about to go face fist into his lunch
'Perfect for my student life project' she thought to herself as she kept eating her lunch. After a few minutes a hand tapped her shoulder and she turned around surprised to see Dawn smiling at her with Ash, Misty, Paul, and even Drew standing there, though Drew just looked uncomfortable.
"Want to sit with us?" asked Dawn softly
May looked a Drew and shook her head turning back around, a few moments later a hand tapped her shoulder again. May sighed and turned around "Can we sit here?" May visibly sighed and nodded hesitantly
The group sat down and thankfully Drew took the farthest seat from May. Conversation started for Misty, Ash, Dawn, and Paul. Drew kept silent and May was caught up in reading her book though she had taken off her headphones.
They had been trying to bring her into the conversation but she had just given her answer and went back to reading. Dawn ended up asking
"May do you have any more classes today?" May looked up and shook her head no and went back to her book
"Great because none of us do either so we were wondering if you'd like to go shopping with us?" she asked May
May looked up and spoke "I have plans" was all she said "What are they?" asked Ash. May sighed and closed her book sitting up grabbing their attention "I planned on going around the city trying to get some good shots for my portfolio."
Dawn looked excited as she and the others asked at the same time while Drew just sat back "Can we come?" they asked
May shrugged and nodded hesitantly. "Yes!" Ash, Misty, and Dawn shouted while Paul just nodded and Drew shrugged.
May asked them why they wanted to come so bad, "Well we heard you're the schools best photographist and we wanted to see what you do." Misty said honestly
"I guess" May answered as she went back to her book. Once the lunch period ended they followed May to her dorm so she could get her equipment.
They entered her dorm to see that she had been keeping it very clean. Misty noticed something weird about it though
"Isn't this a two person dorm?" she asked. May nodded and explained, "I applied for a roommate and had gotten one but she graduated last year and the rooming department wouldn't give me a new room so now I use her room as my photography room"
She walked over to her coffee table and grabbed the large bag that sat next to it. She opened it and took out multiple large boxes and spread them over her table.
She opened one of them and put her small pocket digital camera back into it. She then opened two other boxes and took out a Polaroid, and a different digital camera. She opened the Polaroid and sighed when she found that she was out of film.
She then put it back and took out a different box and took a larger camera and attached a long lens on and stood up and gestured for them to leave.
"There are a few spots I wanted to go to." She said as she headed to the student parking lot "Where is your car?" asked Paul. May pointed to the black pick-up truck a few cars away as they all got in and May began driving.
