Love Contest

Summary: The minute May and Drew met when they entered highschool, both found the other annoying. Each chose to pursue contests when they graduated, but why not have a contest now? And that contest, is to see who will find a romantic partner first by picking someone at random and making said person fall for them. The catch: The loser has to listen to whatever the winner says! But what if they end up falling for one another instead? (Contest/Ikarishipping)

Chapter 2

Wow, it's been a while. Haha...anyway, here's chapter 2~ Enjoy everyone! (And I will say this again: I'm not "back" yet, m'kay?)

To all the guest reviewers: Thank you~

May and Dawn were both hiding behind the janitor's cleaning supplies and looked around cautiously. They were in a predicament.

"I can't believe you have a fanclub!" Dawn said, wide eyed in a hushed whisper. "And on top of that, we got chased around!"

May shook her head wearily, and ran a hand through her brown tresses. "Who knew...and I can't find that boy anywhere!" The brunette frowned as she leaned against the wall, and Dawn kept peeking around the corner to make sure the fanclub wasn't nearby.

"I think the coast is clear…" Dawn murmured, and May's head shot up. "Also...is that the boy?" She pointed around the corner, and May leaped forward to look, but ended up falling head first into the mop bucket.

SPLASH!

May's legs were sticking out as she flailed about. "AGHHH! Dawn!"

The smaller girl yelped, and tried to get a hold of one of May's legs, but it was futile. After getting kicked in the shoulder, Dawn was about to push the container of water over when someone grabbed May's ankle, and pulled her out singlehandedly.

Dawn's sapphire eyes widened in shock as she turned to see who had saved May.

Or so she thought he'd saved May-the boy immediately dropped her on the floor with a painful thud. Dawn's eyes traveled up the tall figure of the male standing to her left, and couldn't help but have her mouth drop open.

A tall, brooding teen stood before her; his eyes were dull and his messy plum hair fell over them like a concealing curtain. "You're in the way," he said, his voice blank.

Dawn couldn't move; she was frozen to the spot, and the boy simply walked around her and down the hallway, his hands firmly planted in his pockets.

"HEY!" May exclaimed, leaping to her feet and rubbing her sore head. "Watch what you're doing! Don't go dropping people on their HEADS!" She turned to Dawn, and stared at her for a moment. "Something wrong D?"

Dawn jumped when May tapped her shoulder, and waved her arms frantically. "N-nothing!"

May clenched her teeth. "That guy…" she growled, but suddenly stopped, and squinted down the hall. "It's the Sprout!"

"Sprout?" Dawn said in confusion, but May had already dashed off, leaving her behind. "Hey, wait-!"

"Dawn!" someone called, and the younger girl turned to see the manager of her gardening club. "We're going to plant some flowers with the new members. So hurry up and come with me!"

"O-oh!" she exclaimed. "I'll be right there!" The bluenette scrambled after her manager while looking over her shoulder in the direction her best friend had gone.

With May

May sprinted up the stairs, three at a time; she wouldn't lose sight of them this time around! And no fanclub of hers would get in the way of her master plan!

"Stop!" she hollered, slamming the door to the roof open and dashing forward. "I need to speak to you!"

The meadow-haired boy looked over his shoulder and raised his eyebrow. "Huh? You want to talk to me?"

May nodded vigorously. "YES!" She stepped forward. "Why were you behind me earlier? You wouldn't have gotten hit in the head if you hadn't been so close behind me!"

Drew simply raised an eyebrow. "You were blocking the hallway," he said, and put his hands in his pockets.

May deadpanned. "You suck."

Drew shrugged. "No...someone who's going into Contests can't suck. They need to be experts."

May straightened and blinked at the boy before her. "Contests? You're a coordinator too?"

The boy seemed a little surprised. "Yes, I am," he replied.

May snorted. "I bet you couldn't even win a measly Pokemon battle," she said.

"Says the girl who probably couldn't even catch one," Drew countered.

May fumed as he spoke once more. "And one thing I can say for sure, judging by the way you carry yourself...is that you could never beat me."

"I could too!" she snapped.

Drew smirked at her. "Wanna bet? I think I'm the one who's going to come out top in this school, and then win the Grand Festival."

"I DOUBT IT!" May exclaimed, her face red from anger. "I bet you couldn't do that in a million years!"

The boy smirked, crossing his arms. "You don't believe me? Why don't we have a contest then?"

"I'll agree to whatever challenge you give me!" May said confidently.

"Oh really? You sure?" came sarcastic the reply.

May opened her mouth to say yes, but frowned. Wait...what was he planning?

"Here's the contest I'm proposing," Drew said, leaning forward and putting his hands on her shoulders, his eyes glinting.

May gulped. This couldn't be good….how had she gotten into this!?

"Since we aren't allowed to use Pokemon often in this school unless it is for training...why don't we use the people around us?" Drew suggested, his mouth curving into a secretive smirk.

"Fine by me!" May agreed.

Drew flicked his bangs. "Good. Then here is the challenge: Whoever can make someone fall in love with them first wins."

May paled.

Hehe, that's all for now!

Tell me what you thought! R&R
