Can I Dream of You Once More?

Okay, it's been a while since I've updated but I just wanted to really see how the first chapter would turn out. But moving on, Drew makes his short appearance in this chapter somewhere and also, this chapter is just a filler.

Chapter 2: 'Home'

May's POV

"Do these jeans make my bum look big?" I asked Leaf as I tried to get a good view of my rear in the full length mirror.

"Your but looks perfect." Leaf replied optimistically as she used her fingers to make a box that was aimed at said area.

I better look perfect 'cause I wouldn't want to look any less than perfect when I meet my new neighbours in the big city today! I guess I should clarify things first; today, check out my new apartment... I mean my new shared apartment with Leaf. Although I probably be trapped there for a long time when uni starts but at the moment, I couldn't care less 'cause I am as excited as I'll ever get!

I can't say the same for Leaf, though. I mean, ever since she woke up this morning, she's been awfully... Calm, and I have to say that it is starting to make me worry.

"Leaf?" I called out.

She sat up with her legs crossed on her bed. "Yeah?"

I walked towards her and sat down on her bed. "You okay?" I asked, "You've been awfully quiet and it's not just today."

She sighed and gave me a smile that looked awfully forced if you ask me. "I'm fine, but I'm just wondering what the city is really like."

Within seconds she was on her feet and by the curtains on the other end of the room. "What if it's all just an anecdote?"

Wow. She was being awfully cynical this morning but never the less, I persuaded her that it would be fine. I just wish I'd buy what I just said.

Leaf's POV

The car journey to the new student apartment was long and boring. But then again, people tell me I have a short attention span, which frankly, I don't understand how they arise to that conclusion. Though, the journey did give ,e time to think about a lot of things such as what May asked me earlier. Sure, what I said was true; just not completely.

I was thinking about my dream. I've been seeing my nameless 'Prince Charming' in my dreams more frequently and I'm not complaining or anything close to that but is it a sign?

I guess I should've started to zone out earlier as we've arrived at the city! I guess the journey was shorter than I remembered, but to be fair, the last time I came here was when I was eight- and now I'm eighteen. May was seven at the time.

When the car came to a halt in front of a freakishly white building with a blinding shiny sign that read 'Queen Margret Dormitory Building C', May leaped out of the car and so did I. Maybe I did feel excited after all... Or maybe it was the effect of all the sugar and chocolate coated snacks we ate.

I'm actually pretty relieved that May bought me all that candy, otherwise we'd be waiting with aunt Caroline and Uncle Norman for that speed that apparently follows the whole slow and steady saying.

We raced up five flights of stairs to make it to the floor of our room, which we are officially moving into two days before our courses start. And two days before our courses start is in two weeks time.

We made it up (with me being the victor of our race) to see plain white wall paint spread all over the walls, which was well, put it this way: BORING! Green would've been more exciting, don't you think? But no, white inside and out. Anyway, there were about eight doors on this floor and the one in the furthest wall from the elevator was ours! There was a door across from our room so our neighbour better be compassionate and a person who loves house work!

Standing in front of our door, May and I realised one thing.

"Open the door, Leaf." May ordered, but not nastily, she never shouts at me.

"Why me?" I asked, "Since when have you known me to carry house keys of keys of any kind?"

What I said was true. I never usualy carried house keys for two reasons: the first was because I had hair clips in all the time; the second was because there's always someone home.

"True." May muttered as I leant down to the same level of the door's keyhole and pulled out my only hairclip I had on.

The way May stood made her look like she was more eager than me to enter our new home- which is impossible.

May's POV

You know, I thought our new student apartment would be as bland as Leaf's special dish: ice cubes, but apparently not.

The wooden floor had a really nice fluffy white carpet and on top of that was a wooden coffee table. The bottom of the beige walls had a red lining, I liked the colour of the lining.

I didn't get a chance to properly explore the other rooms as I heard a ruckus outside in the open hallway; I guess my parents and lil' Maxie are here.

Leaf suddenly jumped out in front of me. "Come on!" She yelled at me and dragged me out.

Outside, dad and Max were stopping the elevator door from closing, though, I really didn't think it took both of them to hold the door open.

"What took you so long?" I asked even, although the answer was clear.

Mum just looked at me. "How did you unlock the door?"

"The same reason as to why the sky is blue." We all stared at Leaf.

She started back at us. "You would know that too if you had more sugar highs, aunt Caroline."

Typical Leaf. But I love her as my cousin. She's always so upbeat and jolly and is a great pick-me-up when I feel down.

_ _ _ _ _

My life here is going to be so interesting, I can tell already. I mean, after thirteen years of sharing a bedroom (not that we had to), we are finally going our separate ways. I'll be sleeping in a room to myself tonight while Leaf while be sleeping in the bedroom across from mine. This means that if I can't sleep, I'll have to get out of bed and walk!

I snapped out of my daze when I heard my mother's voice. She had been speaking to me but I was doing what I do most- daydreaming.

"Yeah?" I said.

"I think we've left your plushies in the car but don't wor-" What did she just say?

"You left my beloved plushies in the car?!" I yelled before I ran down the stairs. My mother never understood why they were so important to me and to be honest I don't know why I treasure them so much, I just do it.

Anyway, it was a bad idea to run. I was almost there when I tripped over my own foot and fell (more like literally flew) down that last flight of stairs.

Drew's POV

I should never date best friends, especially when they are both this close and feisty. Oh crap! They're catching up!

I looked inside the buildings I ran past in hope to find one busy enough for me to ditch them in.

Nope. Just my luck but passing all the student apartments, I looked into the last one and noticed a pretty cute brunette trying to fly down the stairs. What a hobby.

But then a plan hit me.

I dashed into that building.

_ _ _ _ _

May's POV

Just when my body was like an inch or two from having contact with the cold, hard and hopefully clean floor, I felt someone stop me from falling.

Whipping my head round to see who it was, I saw a very bright shade of green before it got too close to me and became a blur. Instead, I felt a really soft pair of lips (I think) over mine. The owner's arms pulled me up closer to their body and into a standing position. I could feel some strong biceps so protesting against this involuntary ,but strangely enjoyable, kiss was not an option.

But out of the corner of my eye, I could see a someone (two someones actually) standing there and I think they're gaping?

Drew's POV

I hope this is convincing enough, I mean those two best friends didn't seem to believe me when I told them that I was already seeing someone.

I pulled away form the girl slightly, "Just play along." I whispered sternly to her before I kissed her again.

The brunette didn't kiss back but she didn't pull away either, not that she did before.

I didn't move and I held firmly onto the brunette to make sure she didn't either while I listened to the other two 'bystanders' moan and whine before they made up and eventually left.

_ _ _ _ _

May's POV

From the moment since this complete fair haired stranger told me to "Just play along", until he finally pulled away, I stood absolutely still from a mixture of shock and confusion, exactly how Max reacts when you tell him the computer's on fire.

I got a clear look at his face and judging from his facial expression, I could tell that my face was as red as you'll ever see it. However, I could still make out the most attractive pair of emerald-like eyes but green hair? Did he dye it that way?

"Thanks." He said as he slipped a bit of paper in my hands and started towards the door. I watched him walk out of sight before I looked down to the bit of paper which I didn't realise before was a fifty pokédollar bill.


When I finally made it back up with my cardboard box of plushies, the first thing that happened to me was Leaf related.

"What took you so long?" Leaf asked.

I dragged her into my new bedroom and shut the door behind me.

Leaf jumped onto my bed and started to idly play with her brown locks.

"Some stranger stole my first kiss." I said, straight to the point.

Leaf bounced up right and sat properly, she let her lock of hair drop to the side. "What?"

"Don't make me say that again." I whined, not exactly sure of how I feel at the moment.

Leaf winked and stuck up her last three digits of one hand.

"I hope this doesn't happen everyday." I prayed.


After typing this I realised that some words in British English and American English are spelt differently, so sorry!

Also the May/Drew POV is meant to juxtapose against each other but it was just a test, sorry if you didn't like that. But I still do enjoy my reviews.
